I used to hunt and this is a horrible and sad

[theking]

..way to meet death while doing something one enjoys, poor kid:

"Teen hunter run over by corn chopper after falling asleep in field, Michigan cops say"

Wasn't gonna share my story but since you made a thread......mi ght as way share my thought.
Over the past weekend, I went to look at a co-worker acreage, private land.  Not sure how much land but enough for 1 or 2 hunters.  Was planning on doing some squirrel hunting again this year.  After spend a few hours scouting the place, I've decided not to go ahead with my hunting again this year.  And with the recent news of a hmong hunter killed down in iowa.......nah, forget it.  I'll just stick to fishing.  If y'all do go, stay safe.

Can't live your life in fear! Enjoy the things you want to do and if you die doing it, it's worth it. However, I get the sense that you really don't enjoy hunting that much. Ha!

You’re not wrong about that.

I've seen this photo on Facebook. I thought it's to show off how big of a buck this young hunter got.

I don't sleep in places that don't have protections. Even when I put out a tent, I make sure it's surrounded by strong trees so that cars won't accidentally run onto the tent while I'm sleeping. If there are no trees, I put my truck by my tent on the side facing the trail or road.

Awesome precautionary measures you're taking but if you were meant to die, death will find you just like in your example a tree branch could come crashing down on you while inside your tent. One thing is for sure, while I too take precautionary measures I don't live in fear of anything.

ask me

True. When the time comes, even a little crap can pull the local Taseng's daughter right into the deep river bank.

DON’T HUNT WITHOUT A PARTNER

[Reporter]

You know, I've been wanting a bear hunting partner. Wanna join me this to next week up north? My other partner tagged his hunt and is no longer going for the season. So, I've had to brave the deep woods these last two weeks. I would like a partner to go with me for that.

This is a land of predators. The only things that are there are bears, wolves, coyotes, and mountain lions. Very few deer are around and they are only mule deer, not white tails.  Sure, porcupines, too, but that's pretty much it.

Let me know if you are interested. We can go just during day-times and just two to three times each week until one of us gets one. Your non-resident license is about $231.00. But I have foods and other things we can use.

@reporter

I only been in one black bear hunt
That was a long time ago
We used my friend’s dog that he has been training
Really easy, found it in less than 45 minutes

Bear meat is just a bit nasty for me
If they been eating trash, their meat taste kinda like trash
