Deer Hunters
 

Any hunters in OSO? Leaving Friday to go up to Va/WV to get in the woods for awhile. Just got the 30/06 out and the gear out to go. Can't wait, but another trip......after this one, i'm staying home awhile !!! Dave

Our deer sesaon opens up on Friday here in IL. we can't use the high power rifles, limited to shot guns, black powder and pistols. Can hardly wait.

Wardey,

I will be out in Franklin County on Saturday before heading to VA tech game, 7mm for open area, 12 gage 00buck for neighborhood.:D

WILL

archery season opened at the end of september. This was my first year bow hunting. definately MUCH harder than in a stand with a rifle. small 8 point whitetail.

go every year,
Good luck to everyone.

Our season opened on Monday morning, about 50% of the workers on my jobsite were MIA...

Those hunters are hardcore.

27 - We usually go up to Bath County / VA but not enough time so we are hunting in Mercer County / WV and Tazewell County / VA. Dave

what kind of deer there?

Its a shotgun only season here in OH. I usually dont even bother during gun season, (too many idiots in one place at the same time):mad: Bow season is a lot nicer as far as weather goes plus IMO, the deer have a lot lighter (nicer) colored coat on them in early fall. It makes for a better looking mount.

Nice size White Tails.

I hope you guys do better than this hunter-

post some pics when you get one. i almost didnt post my little 8 point.

we go almost every day . my son has allready killed a nice 6 pointer .

go every year havent been yet will go the day after thanksgiving and that sat.

Boy am I glad I live in SC. Our deer season opened on Aug. 15 and runs until Jan. 1. All rifle season and NO limit :D

Good luck on your trip!!

Wardey, I went opening day here in Florida. I belong to a hunt club up near the Suwannee River. The only reason I got the time to go at all was we are doing a job in Alachua, about 50 miles away. I got up there, got in the woods and got out my rifle and............damn, left my ammo at home.:mad: Try finding ammo for a .358 Winchester in Dixie County Fla (pop ~11,000).:( I did have my 44 mag pistol AND ammo, so I walked a couple of swamps hoping to jump a hog, but nothing doing. It was too damn hot anyway (84 degrees). I didn't even bother to hunt the next day, I got up an headed home. Got there just in time to watch my Bucs lose another game.:(

Since I don't have much time for scouting this year, I think I'm going to focus on ducks and quail. Do you duck hunt?

Hey Cuda, No ammo !!! That's too funny. I have never duck hunted. Only deer, rabbit, quail, pheasant, grouse and yes, one time, squirl. What a fun time that was......:crazy: Dave

How about some Barney hunting:D :D
I dont hunt deer just dears

Strip - I was just waiting for someone to say something like that.:D :D

Cuda - Have you heard of how the kill was up there so far? I know when we rolled through there on Monday after OB , I didn't see anything coming out of the woods on vehicles. Alot of trucks with dog boxes but no game. Dave

Spotlighting Donkeys

Now, do we REALLY want me to post the DONKY pic's ????:D :D :D

and by the way.....Where do you get this sh*t ???:D :D :D Every topic you come up with a pic for it.:D :D :D Dave

Hunting with a Durango

Wardly I have been on the net for only 10 months .I have only just begun. . My Favorites links list is pretty large. I copy every cool pick I come across. I prob could find more but I spend so much time on oso. I have a bunch of clips but have no were to host them.


I bought this the other day at the gun show.I'm ready to go hunting now :D I want miss any more:D

Debbie's dad lives there and is a big time outdoorsman. He said they had a great archery and black powder season at our club.

He manages 1100 acres of the most beautiful land on the Suwannee for a guy that lives in Tallahassee. They only use it to quail hunt on, the deer population is unreal there. I may be able to set up a quail hunt later this year if you are interested. They have 10 good bird dogs on the property.

Cuda - Keep me informed. Quail is a fun game bird to hunt and I would love to get the 12 guage out. Dave

I usually go out every free weekend I have, our archery season starts October 1st and between archery, gun, black powder and archery again we can hunt until January 1st. I shot a doe in early archery season (you can't eat the horns:) ) now were heading to northern Michigan this Friday for rifle season, hopefully there's some deer left...opening day was last weekend on the 15th.

I've been out several times this year without much luck!

I may try this guys approach next time - at least I can catch a buzz!!!:p

missed archery season, no time to hunt! I have next mon and tue off taking my 7mm and going bear hunting. Also taking the following mon-wed off for opening of deer season with my 06. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Bow season here in Ohio.....So Far....The one I am after is winning !!!!:D

To bad shooting doesn't start till 6:30am
 

:D

:eureka:

:eek:

:crazy:

No Deer this year. Saw 4 or 5 Doe's and 1 Button Buck. All the nuts and food was in the low country. We hunted at the top of the mountains in 16 degree weather. But still had a great time !!! This is what it's all about......Dave

My #1 buddy !!! Dave

Is that a model 94 or a Marlin your son has??

I agree, the fun is in the hunt, not in the kill. Hell, that's when it becomes work!:(

Cuda - It's a 94 I bought years ago and gave to him this trip. Let me tell ya, I didn't hunt a stand but just laid down in some downed trees and that little button buck walked about 5 feet from me. I could have thrown my rifle at him. That to me is a hunt. I have killed deer but anymore, just love to get out with them. I would have liked to see Little D get one tho. After the first day, I dumped a bucket of apples out where I saw the button buck, thinking something bigger would come. But not one apple was touched. The deer were down low. Still, had a great time always. Dave

I've got two Mdl 94's myself. One in 44 mag and one in 45 long colt. I like them because they are easy to carry. I also have a couple of lever action Marlins. The gun Debbie likes to hunt with is a Marlin chambered in 35 Rem, but she has always done best with a black powder. Next time we see you, be sure to have her tell you the story about the big hog she got in the Lower Suwannee, it's unbelievable, but true.

I haven't taken my climber out in probably 4 years. I've got to where I can't stand to sit for hours on end. I'd rather walk and not shoot anything.
