2011 Hunting Thread

[Patler]

I just read an article that Wisconsin's Earn a Buck has been removed. Now nutz doesn't have to pass on that Monster Buck on opening morning because he hasn't shot his doe yet. I wonder how this will effect heard mgmt.

Herd management? Has WI ever had effective herd management? They talk about it a lot, and enact rules said to be for it, but it seems the actual effect differs from the intended effect more often than not.

The deer numbers have dropped in our area significanty due to the hard winters and the earn a buck. We have a lot of poor families in our area and they need the meat. We also have a shit load of assholes that shoot the shit out of anything when they go into the woods, or from their cars. I am glad they took earn a buck off the menu. It was frustrating, I am the type that will shoot a doe if I see one, but not early opening morning, I will wait until the afternoon or Sunday to shoot a doe

Still no Bear, another cold 6 hours in the stand. Saw a coyote, missed the bastard.

we are starting our annual deer camp meetings. really just an excuse to drink beer and discuss the dinner menu. the next time we get together is to pack then a week at camp. then unpack. then I don't see those SOB's for another 12 months! damn deer camp is great! a bunch of guys you see once a year, but act like your close neighbors. Sadly the oldest guy isn't going with us. he's 90. one of the founders of the camp.

In New Brunswick we tree stand hunt Black Bear at night. The Spring Bear hunt is very popular with American Sports. Yea those damn coyotes are for some reason jumping before the trigger is squeezed.

A couple of years back an old timer that used to party with us the nght before opening day decided he had enough. He was 87 and just didn't want to make the trip any more. We were sad at his complete failure in the game we call life. He was so close to passing and being a success but he then goes and blows off deer camp.

Tastes good, just can't eat it. When you flash them bear sausage into the fat in that there caste iron frying pan yaa need a good pair of goggles and a hose to keep the tears down.

I got one tonight! ground hog that is. little Mf-er was living under the bridge over the creek in my back yard. I hit him at 25yrds with #4 shot. I finished him off with a couple loads of #6 at point blank. he's lucky the slug i fired at him the other day missed. he got to experience 2 extra days on this earth. He is now laying on the other side of the creek waiting for the coyote's to feast!!
