Annual TOO Muzzy Hunt (Vinton Furnace): Discussion Thread

[Isaacorps]

Yeah the buck only thing kinda makes it a bit of drag as far as a group of guys wanting to get together to do drives and hang out. Looks like it’s buck only for me here on out or it’s tag soup and an empty freezer. There ain’t a spike or forky in the state safe

OK, so it's time to make a decision whether we're gonna do this thing or not.
Like Jesse said earlier, I'd wander around beating brush and make breakfast, but I'm not seeing any interest.
Are we passing on the muzzy hunt this year?

 

[5Cent]

If it was gonna be doing this, I'd be down all weekend.....you weather forecast.

 

[Wildlife]

I still have a buck tag burning in my pocket so, I'm willing to make the trip and see some of you ugly fuggers again.

 

[giles]

I’m taking the camper, and I won’t take it down that road, so I’m out. As much as I’d love to get Maddy on that.

 

[bowhunter1023]

I'm out as well. I'll be waterfowling in the AM and hunting deer where I'm actually allowed to in the afternoon.

Throwing this out there. If anyone wants to get together to do some drives in WNF in Washington County this weekend let me know. Looks like my son and I will be hunting both days. Would be interested on Saturday or Sunday morning as we are probably going to sit on stand in the afternoons.

I may hunt a piece of private fhats landlocked by WNF a other private ground on Saturday. If so, I'll message you. We want be far from you since we'll be out back of Bells Run.

Shot you a PM.

So vinton furnace is off?

 

[Dannmann801]

I'm out. Gonna hunt private and try to bag one more giveaway deer

Yes.

I'd say years like this where a critical mass has filled buck tags by muzzy season, it will be tough to make this happen. Years where the vast majority still have buck tags? Probably something that'll happen.

 

[cspot]

I honestly wonder if after a few years if they don't tweak the public land rules. It would be nice if they kept the 1 deer per year, but allow antlerless thru all deer seasons or perhaps allow it during the late muzzleloader. I don't care so much about late gun and late archery not being able to shoot a doe, but it would be nice if doe was in during the late muzzy season.

Thanks just wanted to double check

BB season

I pay $50ish for a late-season doe tag on public ground, especially if it was a limited "draw" and the monies went back into conservation and acquisition.

As a NR mine is already $77 so I would gladly pay $50. LOL.

I should add that I support the new public land rules, but if they need or want to lessen them up, my first vote would be to allow antlerless in the late muzzy season.

Plus the $15 public land stamp we would all buy.

BB season

?? Button buck season?

?? Button buck season?

Yeah, I generally plug a button during ML thinking it’s a nice doe.
