season

With the season starting tomorrow, I figure I'd get started with my journal. I was off today. It was a teacher workday for new teachers doing a child abuse seminar. I already know how to abuse kids so I didn't need to go. I spent the morning putting up my final stand. With Kody and Klay...

What do you use to keep the skeeters at bay and make the time on stand tolerable during the early season while not stinking up the entire woods thus spooking every deer around?

Well, so far my oldest daughter Karissa has really impressed me with her ambition to get after it. She's been asking when she could shoot her papaws xbow so today we went and did it. Unfortunately of all his arrows we could find any two that grouped! WTH? He has an older Horton with a Horton...

Out today doin a little shootin making sure the bows are dialed in ( we shoot all year long ). Set up a 3d course with targets ranging from 20 to 40 yds plus the ladder stand. Snapped this picture of my wife shooting. Got our spot set up first of august, been getting some decent trail cam...

Hey guys I'm looking at going out for some doves to kill the time till bow season starts. However the land I have out west there isn't much of a dove population for what I've seen so far. Not that I've been looking that hard. But I was looking at checking out Delaware Wildlife Area and...

Just curious if anyone hits the gym a little more before deer or any other hunting season? I didn't do a lot of research, but I totally agree with this article about the chances of having a heart attack while hunting are greater than getting hit by a stray bullet...

I know this is super early to ask but I've seen a lot more interest in waterfowlers on this site over the past year. I think it would be nice to put some faces with names. I've got several fields this year that are corn that ALWAYS produce good numbers of geese late season. Who would be...

From another forum. I said last year if they were going to have the early doe season make it like this. Below, is the language of the proposed primitive muzzleloader season for Indiana. Below that are the comments I sent them. In sending those comments, it appears that you need not be...

It wasn't the fact that I didn't get a turkey, it was the lack of finding the birds. They were all over the place, answering my calls and being seen on a regular basis. Then the farmers planted the fields around the wooded areas and the birds flat out disappeared. I spotted a hen, called a her...

Its bitter sweet building history throughout the summer...... but I sure wish something was in season that I like to hunt! Little Leg Iron

I'm about the most novice of most of the turkey hunters on this site but wanted to start my season off with a thread. It will consist of pics and videos of scouting trips,trail camera shots and actual hunting views and such. My cameras will be going up very soon, hopefully this week, and I'm...

43 days! I'm fired up for this turkey season! I'm planning on doing some scouting between now and the opening morning, but I've already got a flock patterned historically and the winter flock numbers have been really good. I'm planning on picking up a Keystone Wedge. I'm debating...

Now that I have scratched a few heads. What is everyone's thoughts on hunting deer with rifles in pistol cartridges such as 45/70's, 44, 375, 444? Just asking. My reasoning is ammo is so expensive and the thought of reloading is so much cheaper. Box of 5 sabots are 20.00 or so. I like to shoot...

Did anyone else see last nights episode? I'm not a regular viewer, just happened to be channel surfing. Anyway the father son team (I Think) were heading into their stand location and found their two biggest buck locked up in a field. These deer both had to be 170+. They knew both deer...

I know this has been brought up before but I figured I'd say it again.... If you out setting up stands please bring a long your safety harnesses and WEAR them...... I've seen some photo's of folks setting up stands and not a one wearing a harness..... It only takes a second too have an oh shit...

I'm going to start heading out more with the video camera and trying to get them on film.. I'm looking for the Wide8, Tall8 and the primary target "Tank" I managed to get some crappy footage of the Tall8 Friday but had forgotten my tripod. Tonight I got some great footage of the Wide 8 (now a...

Havent had a lot of studs show up but I am getting some regular visitors. These guys have been showing up pretty much every morning and again in the evening. He came back and brought a friend, right side. and then another, left side There are a couple other smaller...

Tomorrow will be my first turkey bow hunt of the season. It is super warm so I do not know what to expect. The only thing I do know is that I am in the on deck circle. My son Justin gets first crack. I will be running the camera to try video his first turkey kill.
