Thread: Any other hunters here?

  1. #1

    Default Any other hunters here?

    Anyone else hunt?

    I'm still a newb, this is my first season.

    I sat in a blind down in Fredericksburg for a good part of the weekend. I saw one good 8 pointer, but he'll be a better pick next year.

    If you're sitting in a blind, you're not hunting... You're waiting.

    I did more than just sit in the blind...

    Yep, I live on 20 acres and my back yard is my hunting ground. Here is one small buck that will be much better in a year or two. I just wish that others would let the little bucks grow for a few years. My deer "blind" is my third story deck

    Not me, but I was right there when the shot was fired, 150 yards 1 shot to the neck, 416 Rigby. Hunting Cape is one of the most exciting/scary things I have ever done

    I'm going to take a WAG that is a Cape Buffalo?
    Cool.

    Also, I generally hunt with a Hoytt XL2000 compound bow. So its really hunting, just not sitting. You need to bring them in to within about 30 yards to make a humane bow shot.

    You are almost as cool as Ted Nugent, but he has a mobile blind that raises and lowers with hydraulics and his wife cleans his kill.

    I will never be as cool as Uncle Ted. I do love his show.

    Seems like the only time I ever see any game is when I'm not hunting. Saw a 6 pointer on our place this weekend while I was filling the feeder. Gun was in the truck naturally.

    If he shot a .416 Rigby in his shirt sleeves, they both took a shot in the neck. What's the first thing that goes through your brain after you have shot a defenseless animal? The recoil impulse of the rifle. Man is a predator.

    Not sure what the first thing through your brain, but Cape Buffalo and not what I would call defenseless

    I used to hunt, but after I took my first deer I lost interest in venison... the challenge was gone

    Since then all I've done is a little crow hunting. I want to get into some varmint hunting soon, though... we should organize an MME varmint hunt!

    Wait until I pick up a decent rifle, though. I've been concentrating on getting the handguns out of the way. Next month I'm probably picking up some sort of .223
