The air is cooling.

[noon]

And with the cooling air comes hunting season one of my true loves. Been doing it since I was 15. I have always been an avid white tail hunter . The last three years I have been duck hunting and could care less about deer hunting.
Any other duck hunters out there ?

[EverettCD]

Hell yes!!! Me & my duck retrieving machine Labrador are ready. Dove season is just around the corner in this area also. I haven't shot a white tail in a few years myself, I might try to blast a Bambi or two this year if I have time.

[noon]

Good to hear. Looking for a new duck boat now. I'd like to get 15 foot g3 with a 72 inch beam side console. My wire haired terroir does the hard part. He knows its time. He's tired of chasing tennis balls

[Bert]

I'd have a hard time killing an animal.

[EverettCD]

That G3 would make a nice duck blind boat for sure. I'm with you about our dogs doing the hard part, it would suck to hunt without a retriever. It still amazes me every time we hunt how much the dogs love to jump into ice cold water & retrieve ducks, they can't get enough of it.

[EverettCD]

The hard part is deciding what seasoning to use prior to cooking it.

Same here..... Ill eat anything that had a heartbeat but I can't kill it.

[Hazard]

Unless ofcoarse my life depended on it.....

[Lunk1]

I wish ducks were more prevalent in this area. I enjoy it but have to travel out of my comfort zone to hunt them.

The hard part is trying to make time to bow hunt, waterfowl hunt, deer hunt (gun season), fall large mouth fishing, pheasant and quail hunt. God damn work get's in the way!!!!!!!!

[ac guy]

I would trade big game for fowl if I had to choose. Dove. season is winding down here. Going on a wild pheasant hunt next weekend, hopefully make it to Arkansas in Jan for some good duck hunting. In between Im fortunate to live in a place loaded with quail. Still love to chase mule deer and elk, but birds are by far my favorite.

[ac guy]

I do too. Sounds odd, but most hunters feel sorrow when harvesting an animal. Real hunters will respect the animal and are very appreciative of what we take from nature.

[Cuz]

Hard time killing an animal? .....tha fvck you on man? lol j/k.

do what friend of mine did, once in a while he get free cows, sheep, pigs, etc... one time he got three little potbelly pigs, too young and too small to eat, so he raised them along with his kids helping him and named them Sausage, Pork and Bacon! LOL

[ac guy]

Lol. Trust me I kill my fair share. Just think about it more before I pull the trigger or let an arrow fly. Maybe it's normal as you get older.

The only time I have a hard time is when I run out of ammo!

well I could agree there, that's a totally different outlook. Sure you don't want to kill any animal that walks by your stand, that's foolish. Now just because Ive killed 170 class buck, do you think I would let a 150 class walk by my stand. Fvck no! lol, but under a 140 yes, its always great to manage your kills and not shoot anything with antlers on top. I see where you're coming from.

"if its brown its down"

show off!!!!

[Hazard]

I used to fish and keep trout. One time I took 5 home, cleaned em and froze em. I forgot about them an found them when I cleaned out the freezer.

I never kept another fish and havnt killed an animal. I also try to buy cage free eggs and farm raised chicken lol. Make fun..... I just feel like the animal gives its life for me to survive (and also build muscle) so I respect it for more than being a dumb animal.

For the record..... I have nothing giants hunters or the sport

[Euroholic]

"if its brown its down"

Have a read of this article its a interesting bit of history, its long but its mentions 1968 was the last time it was legal to hunt black people in queensland at the time the were classed as fauna. Report details crimes against Aborigines - World Socialist Web Site

[bass]

^^^ pure evil ^^^ can't believe people actually did that.

[ac guy]

Chad, I don't know you, but I hate you. I've never even had a shot at a B&C buck. Can't imagine what that feels like.

[Euroholic]

^^^ pure evil ^^^ can't believe people actually did that.

Didn't americans kill those indians? Same thing i guess. Man does not have the best morals. But if the government says its legal what can ya do. You cant rewrite history.

ac guy, I paid a lot of for a 170 class buck. Do you actually think i have boone and crocket bucks walking around my property lol. Hell i wish i did, wouldn't it be heaven? I have a video of it also, and yes it was pretty awesome. Except when i opened my wallet and handed him almost 5 figures.

[Cuz]

Euro, that's just an old saying rednecks say over here in the southern states about deer and deer hunting, nothing relevant to African americans.

Oh Righto understood i thought you were talking about hunting black people. My bad..... my mates great grandad still has his "fauna" hunting license how crazy is that ay.

Let me guess? Texas? Lol. I bet it was worth every penny. I wondered how you pulled a 170 when you live in Florida.

I'd put you on a 170 for 4K

I just picked this up for duck hunting season:

[noon]

I take a few deer a year they are harvested out of an apple orchard that sits between a large corn field and and a cash crop of verifying veggies takes about a day to fill my block freezer. That's a lot of clean meat that will last quite a while. Average deer size dressed out. 115 / 120 lbs .
Then I'm free to hunt duck every morning before I work and as much as the wife will allow on the weekends.
Rem. 270 for the brown ones. Press my own bullets using nossler bullets
Rem 1187 for any thing with wings black cloud steel .
To those that don't think they could take an animal for themselves I respect your opinion .i have friends that won't hunt. And one who doesn't like to shoot guns. Trust me on this I shot to the heart of an animal that has had a life of freedom is much better than how the cattle industry operates . And trust me I love steak

[ac guy]

You have it good noon. Cant hunt before work when you live in the concrete jungle. And you are spot on on the life of game. They have it good, majority of them live longer than cattle and no fences to keep them back. Can't wait to get out of here back to the south east. What kind of noslers are you rolling? I like accubonds, but they are hard to find these days. Been using Gamekings recently. Very good bullet, and easy on the checkbook. Not as sexy as an accubond though lol

[ac guy]

And what the hell is up with the price of shells? Went to BPS for some pheasant rounds, they had boxes that were $45.00 a box!!! For non waterfowl rounds???? World's gone crazy.

[noon]

Partisans and silver tip
And your right it hard to find a lot of items. And I'm sure my name goes on a list eve y time I purchase powder. Lol

[diesel101]

I love hunting season! There is something about stopping a beating heart that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

[EverettCD]

I'm sure my name is on a few of Nobama's anti gun lists. After the shortage in 2008 I slowly stocked up on powder, primers & bullets so I wouldn't have to deal with the panic shoppers.

My go to load for white tail is a 180gr Soft Point Boat Tail Jacketed with 45.2 gr of Hodgons H335 powder under it. They group fairly tight out to 300 yards.

Shotgun rounds are the only rounds I don't load. Y'all are right, shot shell for water fowl has gone way up since I bought last about 3 years ago.

[Lunk1]

You guys and your rifle hunting for White Tail lol. You cant use a rifle here ;(

[EverettCD]

I have always wanted to get into bow hunting. A few friends do & they love it. A bow may be the next toy I buy.

[JAB1]

I love guns and the outdoors, but Im a p***y, and cant kill animals..

[EverettCD]

You guys and your rifle hunting for White Tail lol. You cant use a rifle here ;(

You can hunt with muzzle loaders legally right? A friend of mine hunts with a muzzle loader & really enjoys it. Only one shot so it's more challenging.

[noon]

Lunk. No rifles are you in an all shot gun area?
