"OFFICIAL 2013 HUNTING THREAD"

It doesn't even have to be for nuisance purposes. A landowner can give you year-round coyote killing privileges just because they hate them.

I have WRITTEN permission (as required) for properties that I hunt on that state that I may kill any coyote on sight at any time.

Kill 'em, Kill 'em all!

I've been out three times now without seeing anything. Probably wont either until the corn comes down.

It has been slow, thats for sure.

I've seen one shooter that was spooked by a combine run by. other than that just a bunch of little guys...

I've been out about 3 times so far, and have seen 10 deer. All fawns and smaller does. Gonna try to get out Friday morning and hope for something a little bigger.

I don't use my ground blind very often, but it's nights like this that it's worth its weight in gold!

Saw one fork and a box turtle decided he wanted to come in out of the rain, who was I to say no!

Being able to experience these kinds of things is my favorite reason to hunt.

The carpet is pretty clever!

Thanks, it's awesome how much it cuts down on the noise.

Frustrating afternoon. Had a nice buck respond to a grunt and come to about 50 yards from my stand. He hung up there for about two hours. He'd scent the air for a few minutes, then chew on a bush, then lay down (I lost him through the brush when he laid down). After an hour, I tried to entice him out with a grunt All that did was let him know where I was. He stood up and looked at me, scented the air some more, then laid back down. About a half an hour later, the wind (which had been favorable) started to swirl and eddy, so I expected him to bolt. He didn't seem to care. About a half an hour after that, he FINALLY stood up, flicked his tail, and started trotting down the path leading past my stand.

And after all that, as soon as I stood up, he took a hard right turn, ran about 25 yards, then slowed down and walked away.

Never seen a deer act like that before. Very frustrating, although I suppose if I'd known he was going to hang out for two hours I could have fidgeted less and not grunted and maybe would have had a chance at him.

Ive seen a bunch of yearlings and small does and spikes this year. Seems like they are definately abundant everywhere.

 

[Lammchop93]

Gonna head out early tomorrow morning. Hoping to get my first buck. This is my 3rd season hunting.

 

[vwarren]

Finally some decent weather!

Finally some decent weather!

That's exactly what I was telling my wife this morning! I've got Tuesday through Friday off so I'm sure I'll be out at least three of those days!

On another note been watching Midwest Whitetail to get myself amped up and seen this video which was shot around some urban zone in Indy. Not real familiar with the Indy area but figure some others might recognize the area. A really good buck for an urban zone and good buck all around.

sold his brother Nathan a Hoyt last year when I bought my crossbow.... then sold my crossbow for a gun safe and to pay some bills.

Never got around to getting another bow as I've been focused on getting in shape this year, now down 54 pounds... firearms season can't get here fast enough.

Coyotes can fall under nuisance animals, that may be taken out of season, just an FYI.

If it's your property, or you have written permission, there is open season? No?

 

[M4Madness]

If it's your property, or you have written permission, there is open season?

Yep, year round if you meet one of the above criteria.

Got my first doe of the season last night...first deer with a crossbow also...these things are so easy...the bolt went right through her literally.


Oh the joys of hunting on your own property...
