hunting

Thanks Jennifer. It doesn't take much to get into waterfowling, after the initial cost of a good shotgun. If you have a local chapter of Ducks Unlimited in your area check it out. Great people and usually willing teachers. If you're ever in eastern Mass during the fall let me know, happy to take you.

p.s. I just remembered, after the cost of the shotgun there is a significant cost in equipment, my wife reminds me of that all the time. Eating wild ducks is like eating that $1500.00 first egg.

Our riffle, deer hunting starts the Monday after Thanksgiven. We have been seeing a buck here for the last 3 weeks. The other day I came home and the neighbor who knows he's not suppost to be hunting on our land came up the dirt road behind the house with the buck on the back of his 4 wheeler. He looked at me and waived if he did not have girls I would of had him taken away. I'm so mad because this is the first year my GS is going hunting and we were hoping he would get that buck. I will get even, all the neighors have got together and told him he is not aloud to hunt our their land. He is a theif. He stoled traps and tree stands. One time they were chasing him and he ran to his mothers and they couldn't find him. I guess if I see him over here again I will need to take more actions.

here that's called trespassing and poaching if you dont have landowners permission, even worse if you have actually forbid it. Contact the game wardens on him and they'll fix it.

I lost 2 massive bucks I had been letting go for 4 years on my 150 acre farm to thiefs doing that. Finally caught one last year IN MY STAND!! Passed out on drugs. some people??? He nearly shot himself getting down he was so messed up, the gun litterally went off 2-3 inches from his face. From then on, I decided to let the wardens handle them. They have done a great job, no stolen stands and no more track of people or 4 wheelers any more.

What happened here was the neighbors owned 175 acres around us, they died and their kids sold the land to a developer. Now there is a developing subdivison near us, so all the workers just took it upon them selves to hunt on mine after work.....

I have no clue how he did it ,but my father shot and got 2 rabbits with one shot. He was speechless and I was speechless, thats once in a lifetime deal for us!

Deer season starts this Saturday coming up. Hoping to atleast see a deer..

Hey guys, if you have problems with tresspassers, you have to do your due diligence and post your land for no tresspassing. If you aren't posted, no one will do anything. At least they won't around here. They may get a recreational tresspass if you're lucky. I have always hated these land and hunting BS tresspassers. The neighbors to my dads have their stands facing my dads property. They have 40 acres same as us, why do they have to face OUR land? My stand is near the same line, at the corner, but it's facing our side. I've never shot anything on their side. I've watched plenty of them on their side, but I respect that it's their land and I have no right on it, nor to the deer that is on their land... why can't other people see that this behavior is wrong? UGH!

Saturday I unfortunatly had to use my doe tag on a BBuck that caught his leg in my fence. Unfortunatly, he broke his leg and I felt it was best to put him down.

I'm looking forward to our gun season that starts tuesday next week. I have the whole week off and I plan to enjoy every minute of it!!

My husband hunts in Colorado every year. He was holding out for a really big one, but the season is short and he wanted to kill something at least for the freezer. He threatened to come home with a forked horn. He just now sent me this picture. I know it's not the really wide one he was chasing, but it's very nice anyway!

Congrats on the mulie!

Sometimes you just don't get what you go after. I went out yesterday morning. Never even saw a deer, much less get one in bow range. I did, however, have a coyote pacing back and forth in front of me. I'm not sure what she was smelling, but whatever it was she never got a chance to find it, and I came back with a coyote and no deer.

Well you don't eat the horns. lol But it's a great buck, that should put some meat on the table.

My husband loves hunting. Here he is with the larger buck he shot a couple years ago. I think I posted this on another thread a while back. It tasted pretty dang good, too!

I made him some acorn scent and it worked really well this year. Such a lucky man, haha.
