Fawns are born late May / early June . You don't want to be shooting does too early .

Dick's had the Ameristep Dog House Blinds on sale ....buy one , get one free for $70 . $35 apiece is a pretty good price . They are nice for gun hunting but not roomy enough for Bow Hunting ..

So much for stirring the pot .......... Anyone else plannong on getting some new gear for next season ? It's getting close .

I'll hold off on this . It's only 412 fps . By the time they are legal in Reg Bow Season , they should have something faster and a better range than only 100 yards . Maybe the price will come down from $1600 by then .

Pickles gizzards ? Yuck ! Ya don't need to acquire a taste for egg sandwiches . They go down easy .

What gear are you lacking for the 2011 deer season ? I am considering getting a winch for my ATV . I never felt the need for one until last season when I had to get a deer out of a gulley . I think I could have pulled it out if I had a winch (and took the ATV with me ) . Has anyone thought about buying something that they need or could use to help with their hunting ?

Cletus and Ramidogg are dragging a deer through a field with a lot of thick brush and the deers antlers are catching on everything making the task quite difficult . NYAntler happens along and suggests that if they drag the buck by the horns that it would make the drag much easier and continues on . About 30 minutes later NYAntler happens on the pair still dragging the deer . NY says ," now doesn't that make it easier to to drag that big buck" ? Ramidogg responds with , " yeah , but we're getting a lot farther from the truck " !

It looks like if you have money , you can get away with a lot ! Andrae D'Acquisto, a self-admitted whitetail addict, is best known for killing trophy deer on his commercial DVD's as well as on the television program "Whitetail Addictions" produced by Lone Wolf Productions. Ashley D'Acquisto, 24, of St. Francis, Wisconsin also pled guilty to hunting deer without a valid Illinois habitat stamp and was fined a total of $205.00. All remaining charges were dismissed in accordance with the plea agreement. In September 2010, two Tennessee hunters associated with Andrae D'Acquisto pled guilty to making salt or mineral available for deer on the Menard County property in 2009. Danny L. Gibson, 47, of Anderson, TN and Dewayne H. Gibson, 41, of Caryville, TN were each fined $205.00 for the baiting violations. The remaining charges were dismissed. In 2005, Andrae D'Acquisto was cited for fraudulently obtaining Illinois resident hunting licenses, resident deer permits and providing false information to obtain an Illinois driver's license in Cass County. D'Acquisto ultimately pled guilty to an amended charge of obstructing a peace officer and was fined a total of $2,000 in Cass County. http://outdoornews.com:80/illinois/news/article_0d4c6af2-1773-11e0-b1dc-001cc4c03286.html

I bought an ATV almost 2 years ago . I have used to to haul the chain saw , cutters , etc prior to hunting season . I have yet to use it to go to a stand . I have come across deer during the summer while riding and had them watch . Stopped to take pics and a couple started walking toward me . When I inched foreward they took off . My sister in laws neighbor uses a garden tractor to get to his stand . He rides it about 600+ yards down through his horse pasture lots to his stand which is a converted horse trailer with a heater , etc . The man has Fibromyalgia which is a muscular ailment ( pain , joint stiffness , etc ) and this is his means to get to his hunting spot . He usually gets a deer each gun season . When he gets one , he drives the lawn tractor back to the barn and gets the big tractor with the bucket .

Does your uncle have a rifle that he could loan you . If so borrow it and sight it in at a range as his sighting probably won't work for you . Or .......... if you aren't too attached to the 22-250 , you might be able to trade or sell it and get a larger cal rifle . Whatever you do , Good Luck !

Spitzer was really working the guy about allowing people to carry guns .

Having money RULES .......If you have big bucks , you can get away with almost anything .

That's a great looking buck !

I knew what you meant in your post but I couldn't resist . When I saw the "Stare Instructor" instead of State Safety Instructor , I cracked up ........ Hey , I don't know a small moose from a small elk ! ???

I'm with Dinsdale on the "scoping" . I have looked toward other hunters with my binos only to see them looking at me with a shotgun scope . I went ballistic a couple times and walked up to guys that had done this while I was screaming obsenities at them . They couldn't understand what was wrong . "I didn't have my finger on the trigger" was the usual response . I said your gun is loaded isn't it you dumb #$%@ ! I'm lucky I didn't get my butt kicked but not too many people want to argue with a raving maniac !

Great rack !

Moose , elk ............ Someone e-mailed it to me .

My father in law had a Mossberg 500 20 ga . He took several deer with it . My sister in law has it and shot a 5 point at over 130 yards with it plus a few other deer . It's a smooth bore with a Weaver Qwik Point sight on it .

No Kid Can Resist a Mud Puddle

I see this topic on several sites every year . It usually starts "I don't want to start anything , but ......" and ends up in a heated discussion . I use a 22 for woodchucks and fox . I would never consider using it for deer and I don't care if someone's cousin's brother's father-in-laws uncle shot a bunch of deer with a 22 . If someone can't handle the mild recoil of a 243 , 25-06 , 270 , etc then go ahead and use a 22 .....

Bubba ---- What the hell is a "stare instructor" ???? ??? ... ??? ... ??? .. ..

Doc ---those fried egg sandwiches are good with a piece of thin sliced ham or bologna that's fried also . I just wouldn't eat them while hunting .

I try not take anything that would be too smelly or laeve an odor on my breath . Apples are best .

That's some good info . Thanks Bill

Granola bars , jerky and an apple or a "nanner" .
