Turkey Season

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:00:11 +0100

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I have been doing some taxidermy stuff and scouting for turkeys. I have to tell you guys coyote hunting story but I will put that on another post. Turkey season is two days away and it is not looking very good. The weather has pushed everything back probably a week or two. I have not seen any birds where I normally see them. I have been out for the past week and a half and have only seen a handfull of birds mostly hens. Well, I hope we have some luck on opening morning. The weather is supposed to be nice for the weekend. Good luck everyone and good hunting.

Hello everyone. Its a new year and hopfully 2010 will be a better year then 2009 for predator hunting. I took one dog last year. The bobcat season is in full swing and I haven't see a thing. The place that was great last season was just reopened for mountain lion hunting so there are people running dogs in there now. I don't know how much that effect them but I would think its not good. I have done some dog hunting over the holidays and nothing. I don't know if I need a new call or if I am doing something wrong but I am haveing the worst luck. I found a new place and went out yesterday morning and saw nothing. I had a really good feeling about this spot. There were tracks all over the place, but nothing came in. I hope everyone else is haveing better luck then I am. Good hunting.

I am sorry but I just have to take a minute and rant about some hunters. It is opening day of the third rifle season and we have snow on the ground and it is cold. Usually a good combination! I went out this afternoon to see if I could put together a setup for coyotes and there were about a million hunters (exageration of course) sitting in their camps. I should tell you the time, it was around three in the afternoon. I couldn't believe it! I didn't get to do a set so I turned around and headed back down the road I came in on and toward the end of the road I saw about six deer feeding at the edge of this feild. I laughed to myself and kept on going. About two hundred yards down the road there were more deer out in another field. That is when I asked myself "should I turn around and tell these guyts that they should get off their asses and get out and hunt", I thought better of it and kept going. I don't know about you but the reason I go hunting is to be with good friends and family and to kill something. I know it is not all about killing something but if I wanted to sit around and bullshit with my friends I would not do it out in the middle of the woods in the cold. That is why I have a house. I was once told by a very wise person ( my father) that you will never fill your tag if you are sitting at camp. I guess these guys just like to spend all that money on tags and equipment to just sit around the fire. I am done. I have said my piece and I will move on. good hunting and be safe.

Went out coyote hunting on the 24th with Barry and we didn't see anything. Drove all over the mountain and nothing. Just got some snow so maybe that will help get them out and moving. Going out again this weekend. Good hunting and be safe.

Deer & Elk rifle season

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:29:49 +0100

Hey everyone, came home yesterday from the annual deer and elk hunt and nothing is in my freezer. We headed up to the flattop on Friday to find six inches of snow on the ground. Opening morning we woke up to a heard of elk about 50 yards from camp. Too bad it wasn't light enough to see them. We sure did hear them. A bunch of cow calls and a bull banging in the trees. Everybody went out for the morning and didn't see a thing. JD and I had deer tags and my Dad and a friend of his from work had Bull tags. Opening day came and went without a shot fired. The next two day were the same story. I don't know if the snow affectewd the animals or what it was because they were moving at night with no moon. Oh well, I hope everybody else had better luck. I guess we will get them next year. It is time know to focus on coyotes and bobcat. Good hunting everyone and be safe.

Hey everyone. Archery season is over and I didn't fill my tag. That is ok though because I got to be out in the wood and have the experiance of a big elk bugeling just 80 yards away. What makes it even better is I got to do it with my dad. Rifle season starts on the 17th of October so maybe we can get our deer. Jason Hart got his buck during muzzelloading season. They hunted hard for two weekends and on the last day he filled his tag. My boss filled his archery elk tag on the last morning of the season as well. He took a 6x1. Yes that is what I said a 6x1. It had a goofy spike antler on one side and a nice six point on the other. I will post pics when I get done with the Euro mount I am doing for him. Later all.

Well it is 9/11 and I hope you all take a moment and remember all the people that died and also all of the survivors. Also give thank to all of the folks in the armed forces for doing what they do so we can do what we.

I am still trying to get my elk. I am going out again tonight and I hope I can find one. Everyone have a good day and good hunting.

Elk Hunt

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:21:21 +0100

Well Opening day of archery season was last Saturday. I didn't get my deer tag so I bought an either sex elk tag and headed into a new area to hunt. I new alittle about this area from coyote hunting and my boss Barry. He hunts and lives at the bottom of the mountain and he gave me some advise on where to go. Opening morning started at 4:00 am. I headed to the spot I wanted to hunt but got alittle lost in the dark so I didn't get in to the opening until after sun up. The elk had already moved through so the morning was shot. I headed back to the same spot in the after noon but once again I was to late. The elk had moved through about an hour earlier. I forgot to mention that I was by myself on this hunt. Let me tell you that doing this by your self can get very boreing. There is no one in camp to talk to so you can go alittle crazy all by yourself. Anyway, I headed back to camp that evening and decided to packup and head home. I am not in the best shape to be walking up and down mountains and the heat was bad. I don't know I think it was not having anybody else there to keep me going that really did it. Well I have until the end of the month to fill my tag so I might get back out there and try again. Good hunting and I will talk to you later.
