Just curious if anyone else hunts? Thats my other passion since its too cold to ride much in the winter. If so what do you hunt? My favorite is waterfowl
Any-one try Black Bear ?
We have a bear problem at my hunt camp they keep destroying my feeders.
They have gone into my hog trap and killed a hog & two months ago one killed a calf on the property next to mine.
I'll hunt anything.....bought these for the rattlesnakes
Those work good?
I stopped hunting about ten years ago. I simply became tired of killing things.
I started hunting at a very young age, rabbits and squirrels mostly. I began hunting deer as a teen then moved on to Elk and Moose in my twenties. I soon became bored with rifle hunting as it presented very little challenge. If I could see it I could kill it. I learned it wasn't the kill that gave me the thrill but the challenge of the hunt itself. I had a friend who had taken up bow hunting and talked me into trying it. I killed my first deer with a bow (45 pound bear recurve) when I was 25. I never hunted with a gun again. I was in love with bow hunting.
Since that first deer hunt with an antique bow I have dispatched most every hairy creature of size in North America. I have a life size Grizzly mount in my house I took with a bow. The Alaskan guide filmed the entire event. I also took a Black Bear from a tree stand over bait (Also filmed), which was legal in this state at that time. Add to that with Moose from British Columbia, Elk, Sheep, Goat, Antelope from Wyoming, Hog, Coyote, Bobcat and numerous other small game makes my hunting career a successful one in my view. I can't express in words the enjoyment I had spending so much time in the woods and wilderness with nature.
For those of you who have never picked up a bow and chased the wiley bovine, I encourage you to give it a try. Archery hunting is so much more exciting than rifle hunting. Especially, if you enjoy a challenge!
Just last week im out with the boy shooting and when i walked around the back of the truck there was a 2' diamondback right next to my truck, well lets just say if he hadnt rattled i wouldn't of seen him, i popped two of these rounds and they made him into swiss cheese. You don't wanna shoot a bunch of them cause they have been known to screw the rifling in the barrel up.
