Cdub100 3,337 Posted October 19, 2019 Any other hunters here? We are about a month away from bang bang season and I'm really looking forward to unpluging for a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fireballer 2,352 Posted October 19, 2019 Primitive arms mostly, but dont hunt like I used to. I just dont have time to scout like I used to. Thats as enjoyable as hunting. I do go from time to time as a guest to hunt clubs and run dogs but I dont enjoy that as much as still hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My friends and I hunt in the UP which is 6-7 hours from my house. We use an MGPT and wood burning stove. Set up 2-3 days before opening day and do a little scouting.

When I lived in Frederick, MD, I had neighbors that would do, bow, cross-bow, black powder and rifle, seasons for deer. I just did rifle season a few times. I saw 40 hunters and zero deer.

Djgb13 2,338 Posted October 19, 2019 Hunting season here. Already went hunting a few times. Doubt I’ll do deer hunting this year. Might wait til next year. Probably just get some deer meat from the in-laws. Really wish I could find some for sale around here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shorepatrol 1,727 Posted October 19, 2019 When I do get drawn for elk, my "scouting" consists of driving around the forest on my grizzly pounding beers. It's focking awsome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted October 19, 2019 Buddy texted me. He took down a 12 point this morning. Gonna give me some of the meat when I head back that way to see my parents this week. Can’t focking wait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkeye21 1,840 Posted October 21, 2019 I haven't hunted in years but I think about doing it again. I could shoot deer from out my window if I wanted to. About the only animals I shoot lately are the varmints around my property. I prefer fishing over hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,587 Posted October 21, 2019 I have not hunted in the last few years. Hunting in Texas sucks compared to Wyoming or Montana. There is no public land down here, I had a few spots in both states where I could hunt thousands of acres without ever seeing another soul. Since my parents moved from Wyoming to Denver I do not even hunt when visiting them over Christmas. Hunting around the Denver area also kind of sucks compared to what I am historically used to. I will probably hunt again, but I miss upland bird and waterfowl hunting much more than big game. It is alot more fun to go hunting pheasants with a group of people and a dog than to hunt deer or elk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only been pheasant hunting a couple of times but it was a blast (pun intended). But you are right about the no public land in Texas. Holy hell. There would be miles of nothing but woods and the entire area is fenced off. If you wanted to hunt you’d have to pay over $1K just to hunt.

Cold but not freezing. I had rain, crazy wind, and warm weather. The week before was nice so the deer had plenty to eat and didn't move while I was out..

GobbleDog 811 Posted February 5, 2021 My friend recently asked me to go hunting as his in-laws own prime land with deer by the hundreds. Says he sits in the stand for about 15 minutes, takes his pick, and goes home with huge bucks. Ain't really "hunting", but whatever. And if deer tasted like cow, I'd go. The problem is deer tastes like deer. There's also my hangup about tracking a wounded/moaning/dying deer for hours if you don't drop it. And then hauling the carcass back and cleaning it. No thanks. Interestingly, this weekend he asked if I wanted to slaughter wild boar with him, as deer season just ended. His in-law apparently hates them tearing up the land and told him to shoot as many as he could... and leave them dead where they fall. I passed - too gruesome. Now DOVE hunting, I'm in. Fun to shoot, easy to clean, and tasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a good processer who will mix it with pork and other stuff. Taste real good. As for tracking it dies in a few minutes. Hunting is good for the environment and deer mangement. Wild boar are a curse to the land and are straight-up nasty. They push out other animals and destroy the environment. Doves are a symbol of peace. How could you. You monster.

I’ve gone pheasant and pigeon hunting before. Done some turkey hunting too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 1,840 Posted February 6, 2021 Deer sticks, summer sausage and jerky are great. It’s hard to beat some marinated back straps from deer. I’ve always had a love for wild game. Some of the small town bars in the area will host wild game feeds every year and they’re a good time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You still have to dress them, but its worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
