I'll probably miss the regular and late seasons too.
So this is what I'm up to...
ping
Bow season opens today. Early Muzzle loader starts Oct 15 for a week. I’ll be out in the field a lot these coming days.
What am I gonna get??? Dat Elusive Turdy Point BucK!
Ooops ... guess not ... the stamps are antlerless
I’m hoping to bag some democrats this season....
These days my implement for Deer Hunting is a bow.
In NJ, the "Hunting Rifle" has been a thing of the past for many years now.
Just came back from elk hunting in Colorado with a muzzle loader. My son got a nice fat cow. Getting ready for North Dakota pheasant hunting in a couple weeks followed by deer season in November.
Here in CA, we can hunt pigs year-round. You have to buy tags and there is enough BLM land you can usually luck out. My biggest hunting gripe is the areas I hunt in are all covered by the lead ammo ban to save the condors.
Keep wanting to go and keep not making it.
Anyone in NE GA (’round the 400 corridor) want to take a newbie out for deer this fall? I need to learn the protocol here.
I am currently couch-bound, so I have only hunted for the remote and my pain meds this season. Doctor might let me walk in about a month ( ACL / Medial Meniscus Reconstruction ). Bag one for me....
Can I git me a huntin’ license?
I don’t need a license, I can bag any deer coming across my 2 acres and claim they were after my garden! Got an antique 1895 Chilean Mauser in 7x57mm that has a virgin barrel and I think will be a great deer rifle.
I got my SS check so I'm off to buy a Mossberg 500 or 590. That will complete my FR Gun Club Trinity.
Handgun / Long gun / Shotgun
I was worried about the effect of recoil on my ribs/sturnum, but the Dr. that did my quad bypass operation checked my over last week and gave his official Okey-Dokey. Also, I have a Compstock on order that will help with felt recoil.
