Hunter007 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I like small game season just as much as big game because in small game season you get more time and chances to hunt something ,weapon like them all equally . The next one I buy usally becomes the favorite for awhile I will say though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Honestly, I like bow season, but with my fake arm, I literally hold the bow with the fake arm the entire time, becomes old after a few weeks, due to awkwardness. Once rifle time comes, its like a big ahhh, and much more comfortable, because at that point, I do not use a prosthetic arm. Sort of a different view point, lol... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Though I truly enjoy ALL of the hunting seasons, with different weapons. Like 22lr, shotguns, rifles. Bow hunting is my true love. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I love crow hunting! My favorite weapon for that is my Benelli m2 but my new cynergy is gaining ground rapidly.But my true love is tracking in the big woods with a Remington pump in something 35caliber. Give me fresh snow some wool clothes and a Remington pump and I’m a very happy man!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmon_Run Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Kimber rifle (.308) / big game in the deep woods would be my favorite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-c Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Archery/deer is my favorite, but since I started hunting during firearms with a revolver it has put some of the fun back into it for me .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolc123 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Dead even tie between: - Barnett recruit crossbow and Veteran's day +/- 3 days - peak of the whitetail rut in western NY. - Scoped Ruger M77 30/06 and the first good snow up in the Adirondacks (usually around Thanksgiving). The scenery and lack of hunting pressure up north cancels out the higher deer numbers out west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pygmy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Spring....Hunting gobblers with my 40 year old Rem 1100 3 inch mag 12... September...Hunting squirrels with my 1937 Winchester m12 16 gauge... October..Hunting waterfowl with my 12 gauge Browning Citori.. Nov-Dec...Hunting deer with my Rem m700 Mountain Rifle 7mm08... Jan-Feb... Hunting bunny rabbits ahead of a pack of beagles with my 20 gauge Ithaca SKB side by side.... In days gone by, my favorite thing in Sept was hunting moose, caribou, elk or mule deer in wild and wonderful places on this continent, but my budget no longer can afford those hunts, and my body couldn't handle many of those hunts anymore...Do it yourself wilderness hunts are a young man's game.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigVal Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Bow for deer is my passion. Also love duck season but still not close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'm still fairly new at deer hunting so it's tough to call a favorite. I had success with the rifle last season and feel very comfortable with that, but my first experience with the xbow last year opened me up to a whole new hunting experience. I suspect this will become my favorite as I become more familiar that weapon platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike103 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I do love spring turkey season and turkey shotguns but I agree walking in the snow with a Remington pump action rifle, of course in 35 caliber, is the best feeling in the world.

nyslowhand Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Isn't this topic mostly about a hunter evolving, favorite game &/or weapon? Back in my younger (& foolish) days, I'd walk endless miles hoping to flush pheasant, grouse, woodcock, etc. My dad always had a couple beagles, so rabbit hunting with them was fun & enjoyable, even in the snow & cold temps! Also back then I loved hunting deer during reg SZ shotgun season, late Nov/early Dec in cold & snow. As I've gotten older matured, the snow and cold temps seem to be less tolerable and not a lot of enjoyment vs suffering derived from hunting those conditions. This is when Oct & early Nov bow hunting became more enticing. Always liked bow hunting, but it got way more of a tolerable way to enjoy deer hunting. Needless to say, any bunny & bird hunting has ended for me. Loved turkey hunting when I started in the 1980s, when there were quite a few around where I lived then. Recently live where the turkey population is struggling, so shooting one seems less desirable than allowing them to try and repopulate slowly. Sort of an ethical decision on my part. As far as a favorite weapon, had always lived in the SZ, so shotguns were SOP. Had them all!, single shot 410/20ga/12ga mag turkey shotgun, over/under 20ga-22 to semi-auto Rem 1100 & Browning LT 12ga Did get a rifle when they were recently allowed in my region. Do carry it, but would rather use my TC Triump BP rifle. Still prefer some sort of the "up close & personal" bow hunting and the addition of a Xbow has become my favorite. Esp with my aging less than toned physic, it is easier for me to enjoy and use successfully.
