Tell you what. We are trying to buy a place rent to own in KS and I'll find out hunting Bison and let you know when the season starts.

That's not in-the-bag, so far as I know:

Make any weapon an option on private lands only (not on game lands).

I know plenty of people who don't use a gun to hunt deer, even when they're allowed to. I DO like the proposal to make just one single 4-month season, however. 2nd Saturday of September through 1 January (Eastern season). More uniform.

I also spoke with Robin Hayes about a week ago at a party he also said that it was pretty much a done deal there just won't be any info on the subject until june 1st of next year.

You're 65lb up on me.......

Ain't nothing wrong with a small doe.....Does need to be taken out too---big time.

Didn't get one yesterday. At about 0830, saw a good-sized buck for about 30 seconds---unfortunately, he didn't hang around or go near the corn......Just stood for a few secs, then ambled off, and I could see him stop every now and then for about a minute......Not enough time for a shot with a bow.

Only a 4-pointer, but let me tell you, a BEAUTIFUL deer......Light-brown coat....Pure white belly.....Long in the shanks and well-formed....I'd guesstimate a 2 1/2 year old deer....Probably 120 to 130 lb.......Woulda been a nice one to harvest.

Saw a smaller doe about an hour later.....Same thing.....Didn't hang around........

I just don't think they were feeding---too damned hot. We got out there at oh-dark-thirty.....Stayed in the stand until 1100. Broke for lunch, and that's where I made the mistake. Based on the afternoon heat (the morning was tolerable), I shoulda just stayed in there past lunch and called it a day. The afternoon was just TOO hot....Musta lost a half-gallon of fluids.

With hunting, I LOVE the cold weather. Hell, anyone can bundle up.....But it's hard as hell to cool down in the heat.

got-r-done again this time it was a damn coyote. these things are taking over Midland NC. I never realized how tall soybeans grow. I was hunting at a field edge and seen 4 does this morning all I could see was their head above the beans.

Dad shot a spike. About 100lb deer. There's plenty more where THAT came from, but basically he told me we had to get on the scoreboard...(haha).

I suppose if there's a silver lining, it's that a hunter will be out in the woods somewhere away from other people and he'll only hurt himself if he does something stupid.

But look at all of the one's that shoot Innocent hunters in the woods because they do not follow the safety ethic..

And it does happen more and more every year

Where are you going with this?

Is this an anti-hunting series of posts trying to illustrate how hunters hurt themselves and others?

Just curious.
