Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Venturing outside today ?

I got critters to shoot.

Snowing here. Probably do some blowing later. Or snow machine some local back roads before the plows get there.

Mudding the tub surround., but that won't take long.

If those runs out, I'll go looking for Old Blue..... I keep him in the garage and he's way behind.

i'm wondering if coffee filters are worth the customer in front of me in the check out killing me

Opening day of thunder chicken on ft campbell
Tree snapped off in my usual shooting spot in this certain area.
Adjusted about 5 ft left.
Decoy feild hunting.
Probably wont see chyt
Windy and cold.

Stay till 3 see what happens

My bytches......



Little random assembly yelps and clucks every 30 mins
Slate and mouth calling.

Might, might not produce.....
Cant kill em from couch.....

Got in about 90 mins ago , took me about 10 mins with hand clippers to clear out .
Spot will be waaay better when the leaves start growing.
Killed alot of birds outta this field over the years.
Pouring rain.
Birds out bugging later in the season
Fly down after a night of rain
Stalking around the woodline putting on a move.
Place gets alot better as the warmer weather hits.

Too cold to turkey hunt........

Don't be this guy.

Was 1 degree here yesterday AM, warmest 1 degree I ever felt. That sun has a bunch of btu's at this time of year.

800 acres to myself.
This area only holds 1 turkey hunter and 2 deer hunters per listed capacity.

In other areas I have had numbnut mofo,s try to put moves on dekes.

Wanna talk about a cok sticking outta the forehead moment for em.

Priceless....

Always set up with a big ole tree on my back.

I made a quick run for some vermouth then worked on a shotgun and will now start making a pot of chili while watching the first Indiana Jones.

Cold front and lots of rain for the last few days has ruined the crappie fishing for today .

I'm working on some raised beds up closer to my house hoping that the deer and other critters won't be so bold as to eat it all.

Back at the house.
Rd 1 to the Thunder chickens

Nada zip zilch zero....
LOL!!!

The wife and I took hand saws and an ax out to my main deer hunting grounds for some 6-15ft tall pine removal. We cut for around 4hrs.


Shoulder roasts were in the crock pot since early this morning. Time to pull it and make sammiches.

Wife and I took Stella the Wonder Doodle out to play. Hit Home Depot for some door casing, grabbed 2 t-bones for dinner, came home. It was nice to get out and around town, but an eerie vibe with so many shops shut down.

Just about to head out and coyote hunt for a bit. Guys at work say a turkey call works good right now. Don't have that on my electronic caller but do have grandpa's ole turkey box.

My son and I kicked our own asses chasing turkey around the north Georgia mountains. Didn’t hear a turkey after 745a but managed to hoof it until 2p when we got back to the cabin. Worn out

Went to the pharmacy to pick up the growler's Rx and grabbed 2 handles of gin while there.

We've got a few thousand miles of public land just North of us. Will walk some of it tomorrow and do some calling if not too windy. Social distancing is painless here.

I nearly did the same thing, I spent an hour pulling a real good downwind sneak on a guy blowing an elk bugle.

Yotes will be all over the place on poults till they can fly up and roost.
Got 5 rds of 3 inch 4 buck for them coksuka,s


Always have em come into my calling 3 or 4 times a year.

When the does start dropping fawns , them coksuka,s will smell her water break and shadow her till she gives birth , snatch the fawn up.

Seen a yote with one about 4 yrs ago with a dead fawn in its mouth about 75 yards out in a field still slick and wet and brown.
Fughing thing came across the entire field about 300 yds out.
It sensed something was up and hauled azz away .

Couldnt get a shot on that prick.

Called slumlord about it.
He was the one who told me the deal on how yotes get fawns at birth.

I had one years ago come into me from my oblique.
6 maybe 7 ft away when I caught movement out of the corner of my eye.
Couldnt swing on him fast enough.
Coksucka.....

Yotes wont get a free pass with me if I can get a shot on em.
Coksucka,s.......

I never used ta shoot the fughing things till about 5 or 6 yrs ago.
