Anybody else getting the deer hunting itch?

**Thorpe** · 10-04-2009, 02:57 AM

Well, it was another cool, rainy, windy day here in MN... So that got me thinking... Man! Deer hunting is only 5 weeks away! (for rifle that is) So, what did I do? I went out and mounted the gun rack to the front of the BR, changed the oil, and gauged the tires.... Gonna have to bust out the 7mm rem. mag. one of these days and get it cleaned up! Anybody else getting excited?

I went out on the 1st for the first day of bow season. Needless to say, I can't wait for rifle season.

Gettin' the itch down here in Bama, too.

The air's getting cooler and the leaves are changing. I watched several deer through the binoculars day before yesterday....counting points and dreaming of deer-chili.

I'll have to wait till mid-November though since I only rifle hunt, but then our gun season runs non-stop till the end of January.

I snagged me an old WWII German 8mm Mauser that I'm going to use this year. I love old battle rifles........AND deer-chili

I can't wait till deer season starts here in New Brunswick, Canada. It starts on Oct. 26. Bird season started last thursday, so I was out yesterday and got 5 partridge.

Wow! Bow season goes from Oct. 1 - Nov. 14. Rifle season is a measly 15 days. Then there's another month of bow season in December.

I'm always on, but now I lurk in the shadows waiting for my big bore

I can't stand deer season...

Cause you bastards drive em out of the woods, and they flock to the front of my car like it's a haven!

I did check the accuracy of the .243 yesterday, on the offchance a deer meanders into the back yard.

**Thorpe** · 10-05-2009, 08:51 AM

Sounds about like my season last year... Had a 6 pt come out behind me and stand so close, I could have jumped out of the tree and tackled him, except for the big old pine in my way to shoot him... Didnt see anything after that till we were driving back toward home, and almost hit one with the truck... WTF

**lndy650** · 10-05-2009, 08:59 AM

i got the side lock cleaned and ready to go! then for rifle the 7Mag

**johnny's X** · 10-05-2009, 09:05 AM

spent much of my weekend clearing brush and making sure my shooting lanes are right. Put up 3 new stands on the property. I insure a cider mill so I took many trips of apple peelings up and around my stands. I planted turnips close to my hot stand this year. I hope the dear come in to find them when the ground has a little snow cover on it. Ten of us through in $100 each and big bucks wins at end of year. Bow, shotgun,inline. biggest at end of season. I am going to win this year.

Drive an older/more solid vehicle......smack'em down when they attempt suicide by car, and take'em for a ride to the processor....

.

BTW, you must have a big back yard if you need a flat shooting rifle for them. Deer come to within 35-yards of my breakfast table if apples are still on the ground under my tree....though I haven't shot any in my yard(yet). Just seems too easy.

When I come across them on the back-40, that's a different story.
