POST YOUR HUNTING PICS THREAD

[addisonlee]

I dontIt don't matter if we hunted the same area or spot... bowhunting espeacially, If I were to see another hunter around my area I would go hunt somewhere else.  Reason is its public and respect the other hunter around you.  Now these days people would kill there own race for fu***** up there hunt.  But nope havnt seen a buck yet.  Only huntedfor 5 hours this year in kewaskum! Witch buck in the picture did u get on ur camera that is in the area.  Its ok if u don't wanna tell.  But just curious cuz last year I seen one of those bucks on ss sheboygan side!  Good luck all as gun season is coming fast and like I said before when its time to wear orange I tend to target crappies or spend time with the family

All my trail cam bucks are within a few miles of the area both Fondy and Sheboygan counties.   And you do bring up a good point of being respectful to other hunters in the same area. I do the same and especially when I see another tree stand or even a trail cam. After all if it was mine I wouldn't want it stolen. If you're hunting a spot with another hunter, you're in the wrong place anyways if there's already hunting pressure. LOL.

I'll be back out for the late season, maybe I'll bump into you. Good luck.

*On a side note, there's a lot of Milwaukee Hmong hunters in that area. LOL. We've been hunting that area now for 10+ years and the past 3yrs we've seen more and more Hmong hunters. Mostly small game tho.

They’re all sleeping 

The squirrels we have here are mostly pine squirrels with a few albert squirrels. The larger one is the albert, they come in black or grey colors. I don’t eat them but my mom has been asking. Got to keep my babysitter happy 

DAM, we need some of those giants here.

Last hour, last day of my 2010 gun deer season. Determination and patients pays off. 

[addisonlee]

My big game hunting season is over. I shot 1 cow, 1 bull, 1 buck, and 1 doe.I had to bring the bull back all by myself. 600lbs of elk and 1.2 miles away from the nearest road, I about broke my back for the 3rd time in 5 consective years  Here's some pics from my last trip out. I'll post pics of my bull later if I remember.

My cow, left shoulder shot as a right handed shooter. When you have 16 eyes staring at you within 70 yards, you can't move. So I moved my gun from my right shoulder to my left shoulder and made a nice shot that put her down about 30 yards away.

Sounds like a successful season to me! Congrats! 

I know only a handful of hunters who shoot the way you do. Its all on eye dominance. And that's a tough spot to be in when there's that many eyes watching you. Good work man!

Dang... the head on that beast is HUGE man! Looks like it could eat you alive! LOL. Congrats! Great kill! 

Story?

Turkey Hunting. Hope this helps.

Turkey scouting, the pictures were from awhile ago when I used to bring my camera. I seem to suck at turkey hunting:

1st day this year my buddy and I scare one that flew out of a small valley that we had just walked through.

2nd day I set up, heard em gobble and went over to take a look. I call and see the roost tree, then they fly to where my set-up was, seriously right next to my backpack    (I finally got to call and see them respond back though, pretty cool. I saw them shock gobble when herons flew by squawking too).

3rd day they flew into the trees right above me and my brother, we were hunting with .22 caliber air rifles since there is no discharge of gunpowder firearms within that river valley (private property was just up the hill). If I had a bow, we would have been eating turkey   

Anyway here are the pics!

Scouting this year, fresh tracks in mud:

Hens, the Tom's Harem:

Quail a few years back, we did okay this year too! The first pics are from a scouting trip:

The covey of California Valley Quail as seen from my POV:


The second half of the covey:


Close Up, 2 males and 1 hen:


In flight after I spooked them:


This was from opening day, we saw nothing all day until we were leaving at sunset. There were like 50-60 birds, these guys jumped first and I couldn't reload fast enough to get the others. I was also shocked at how many birds flew out of the bushes where I saw nothing before:

This'll be the last one for the night, last year's Band-tail Pigeon hunt. We had a very bad week of weather before the 1 week season began. Limit is 2 birds per day, 4 birds possession. Band-tails are one of the hardest birds to knock down. They fly fast, high, and are really hard to kill. I got my only one on day 2 of the season. My dad and I hit a flock first thing in the morning of about 70 birds and missed every single shot. They were way too high, maybe 3 inch magnums would have reached em. The second group that came by us was fewer, like 15 birds, but they flew lower. My dad missed his and I got mine. Saw no more that day, and didn't hunt again that season. Wish we weren't so busy nowadays so we could hunt these guys more.

My younger brother's Integra at the parking spot, as you can see we're hunting evergreen forest:


The one I scored:

Okay one last one, I don't deer hunt since my dad doesn't. The only deer that I've ever got was a fork in MN two autumns ago. Memorable, because I couldn't believe how cold it could be while wearing all those clothes, and how boring it is to sit in a treestand lol! We waited so long we even saw a turkey. Opening day gun season is a battlefield in MN.

Anyways this is the only deer I photographed this year while hunting with a buddy. It was a doe we spooked from a creek bottom. Down here, we hunt Columbian Blacktail Deer. The main technique is to sit on a ridge and glass at the hills around you. When you see one, you snipe it with your rifle from a hilltop away. The most popular cartridge was the 7mm Rem. Magnum. I think now everyone is moving to .270 or 25-06. I kind of want a .243 myself because the ammo's cheap (you have to use expensive non-lead ammo in condor regions).

Can you spot the deer?


On another note, while squirrel hunting, my white buddy and I heard some banging on trees. We were scared it was a bear since we only had shotguns. In a bit a nice 4 pointer came out and didn't even see us (good size for public land anyway). We let him walk away without ever knowing we were there.

Roc - Those are some amazing photos! Great job and keep them coming. Never been quail hunting before but looks fun.
