well deer season ended in Jan

got 5

Turkey season starts in April

this year i am going to hunt
Turkey
dove
deer--bow---black powder--rifle
squirrel
rabbit
Bear
Fox
Bobcat
and boar

NC allows one to hunt for free on state Game reserves and land

I am so excited, i got lucky at a pawn shop and picked up a Remington 11-48 semi auto 12 GA and a Remington 870 express 12 GA pump for 369.00 for both of them

Just fixed a batch of deer jerky

Mmmm

Good deal on the shotguns.

I had to cancel my elk hunt this past season but am planning to go this fall.

[ub4war]

yes indeed

quite pleased, and the semi auto is designed for bird hunting
really for skeet but i figure it will work good

[ub4war]

I made fire

the old fashion way
i made my own fire bow and made a fire for the first time

[stormtrooper]

Good deal. Always a good skill to know.

BTW, I noticed you mentioned hunting with black powder. I've been wanting to get into that myself. Got any recommendations on what kind of rifle to buy?

[ub4war]

i sure do, and its a neat way to go . here in NC black powder

is only a week long---but then when rifle season starts one can use a muzzle loader all season long

one thing i love about my state--hunter friendly

anyway this one is cheap, and a good start for a beginner
you get everything you need in the kit and if you decide you rather use a reg rifle you only have spent less than 200.00 and could sell
it and get you $$$ back

Thanks for the link. For that price, I don't think I could go wrong.

I live in western Colorado so I'll have to check on our black powder regs for the this fall.

[ub4war]

Yup, good little bush gun

keep it to within 150 yards and it will be fun

What kind of bow and what kind of bowhunting do you do? Whitetails?

I used to be a bowhunting fool and was in the business in Northern CA. Lots of great times. Got into scuba diving, ended up in HI and lost my stride... I keep saying "someday..."

[ub4war]

well as far as a bow , i have a white tail hunter 65 lb draw
compound

but i am not good with it and have not used it in Years


but now i have a friend who is an avid bow hunter so i will be
in good shape by the time the season opens


its gonna be a challenge, no doubt and i look forward to it

this is no joke, to be able to say i took a deer with a bow would be an honor indeed

[scottallentaylor]

Wow, Whitetail Hunter, an antique...but then again most bows even new are old at heart...

I find it greatly gratifying to enter an animal's sphere of natural senses and have any success at all being that their senses are so much keener than ours -- very challenging and much earned. Not to say that it is merely about the sport, not even, I wouldn't do if I didn't plan to eat the meat...

Ah, you got me going!

[ub4war]

shes an ilsie but a goodie
at least thats what i am told
lol

[ub4war]

Went turkey hunting this spring. All I got was a couple of ticks and a spider.

The toms were all over the place--one walked about 40 yards behind me and I couldn't swing around to get a shot at him. Man, they were tough to call this year for some reason. Lots of gobblin', but stinkin' things were lazy this year!
