From what I’m reading in this thread there’s several people from the other camp that likely have the same problem lol!
I thought political threads were contentious but good grief I’m not sure they’re any worse.
In before the lock…
Best of luck to you! I’ll be following along, I’m hopeful for your success from a stand. I’ve killed a couple of mule deer from a tree stand and plan to do it again in a couple weeks!
Go for the Kudu, it’s like the elk of Africa in my mind. And it’s always been my #1 dream African game. After that on your list bushbuck, springbuck blesbuck, and impala in no particular order. I wouldn’t dare shoot a fallow in Africa. You can get those any day of the week in Texas and a dozen...
I completely agree @Bullshot unfortunately your paddling upstream against a waterfall on this. When I see phrases like “administrative fees” it always irritates me, especially on any kind of online application that will be completely automated and with minimal input from any personnel possible...
On our property you shoot til you run out of pigs or bullets, whichever comes first. No consideration is given to size, age, or sex. It’s hard for many to understand, but in places where we deal with them and the problems they bring they just fall into a different category of ethics. We use...
I got deer and bear archery tags so now it’s time to make plans! Plan A will be to go shoot a 183 7/8” fuzzy horned brute early in the hunt, then spend a few days hanging around the gut pile and killing a giant boar.
I say if you’re going to have a plan, might as well make it a great one!
I guess I need to check back in and put this one to bed. I quit updating because I didn’t have anything positive to say lol. It was the worst most frustrating deer season I have seen in over 25 years. I saw less deer than I have in at least a decade. All the good bucks from early on were known...
I missed the whining that apparently has killed the talkies, such a shame, I come and go in cycles around here and miss a lot. However, I do vote the offenders at least be listed in the Matt Rinella thread so they can be given the same treatment as the other thirsty influencers. Sounds like they...
Whether you’re using a rifle, bow, or slingshot it’s obvious there are clowns in every genre of shooting.
While butchering my bull that I killed with a BOW this September I found lead fragments low down in his brisket and he had a divot in the backstrap with lead fragments from a bullet that...
Congratulations on an amazing deer! Hunting can definitely expose our selfish tendencies. It’s good that you can recognize when you’re pushing the limits of what’s acceptable. I know to many guys who don’t recognize it and don’t care.
You’re also blessed to be able to put in the time that it...
Get in there and hunt them from a treestand like whitetails. I’ve killed several that way under those conditions. Yes critter density is low and I’ve sat for days without seeing a thing sometimes, but sometimes it comes together and makes it all worthwhile.
Alright. I’ll be honest, I’m not even having fun this season. What started out looking like it was going to be a great year has gone downhill fast.
Since my last check in here I have been able to hunt a good bit, I have moved cams all around, taken down and put up multiple treestands etc. My...
I never stop because of it, but boy do I ever get tired of it some years. I’ve got 4 straight uninterrupted months of deer season every year and by the time January 31st rolls around I’m always worn to a nub.
Every spare minute I can squeak out I’m in the woods, my thoughts are in the woods even...
I don’t know if you can or not, I only use it in a duck blind where sounds didn’t matter. When I’m deer hunting etc I don’t ever look at shooting times. I bet unless you have your volume way up it won’t matter.
If you need sunrise sunset times for calculating exact legal shooting time load the Ducks Unlimited app on your phone. It has all that on there based on your current location.
Example:
At 6:17 tomorrow morning, 30 minutes before sunrise, the red will turn to green, giving you the go ahead to...
