Wise choice Gerald. The boys will be heard saying,”Dad, remember that day we went duck hunting and Hershey.........” someday but that roof won’t remember a thing. Good job.
My son finally got to see the buck he was hoping to see in the daylight. I think the cold weather blast we got helped a little but he was starting to get daylight pictures.
And then Bryson got his first fox in a trap. Start them young.
You’re correct Mallardsx2, they’re like all the other species that we love to pursue, a lot depends on the amount of pressure they get or how many times they’ve been called and scared by gunfire, smell or whatever. Some nights you’d swear they were extinct and then the next night you hit the...
Yeah thinking about OzzyDaves post on his Aussie call in Montana. I can’t remember the number of times I’ve called them in with a piece of grass while spring turkey hunting. That trick has worked in a variety of states. I’m glad they’re gullible, it makes for a better time. Lol
When I was a young fellow just starting to trap for bounty money and not fur, the old guys that mentored me had me convinced they were the smartest animal around. They knew all of their surroundings and any strange odors. I was overly cautious if there is such a thing as a young trapper. As...
Powder problem of some type. Maybe when they were made the drop tube clogged up and not the full charge dropped in before it went on to next one. Sorry for your luck but szzt happens. I’ve left shotguns primers in a bucket of water for two days experimenting to see if they would go off and they...
While a lot of people were watching Monday Night Football, Wheelchair Willie and I decided to break the nights silence with a few squealing rabbit calls. After we got the ole fox pro tuned in and sounding just perfect, we waited patiently for the glowing eyes to appear. It wasn’t long before...
Yeah, the grandson passed on 4 bucks to get to that one and he said that he’d probably shoot that in gun season so he figured it was ok for a bow. Go figure. And then Charleigh’s thinking if he can’t shoot any better than that, I’m staying home the next time. Lol
PA. Was full of activity this week with its first ever bear muzzleloader season running in conjunction with our archery deer season and then Saturday was the regular pheasant opener.
Wheelchair Willy wacked this bear with his muzzleloader as it was running into a cornfield. A little rough...
Those are sweet memories. Sounds like you and your wife share a lot of time with kids and not just your own. Congratulations to you for sharing your time.
I feel your pain and I’m sure it hits home for a lot of people. I grew up hunting on everyone’s land around us. Then one by one they became posted, leased or just plain don’t bother me types who wouldn’t accept a helping hand. Public land is really crowded but if it’s all you have, you’ll learn...
So my duck and pheasant shooting grandson and I were in the tree stand this morning to once again try for an archery buck. After about 10 minutes, he decided to give out a few grunts on his grunt tube. A few minutes pass and he comes one straight to us. At 25yds he stopped broadside and grandson...
