Who is hunting What this year?
« on: January 01, 2020, 05:53:04 PM »
So is anyone doing any special hunts this year? Or even just your usual hunting trip. What and where?
I am not doing a great deal. I have this sambar deer hunt to do. We are going to float down a river and hunt for deer as they feed on the river banks. However there has just been horrendous bush fires where we are going to hunt. So I am not sure if the deer will have returned by then...
I may try and line up a hog deer hunt while down there too. I am thinking I will try for a decent Fallow deer buck in my area too. Then apart from going out on my usual hunting properties looking for rabbits, foxes pigs and goats that is about it.

Well Brett I had planned on hunting prairie dogs with Roger in June and then we where going to head up to Big Muddys to shoot some ground squirrels. Only 2 of us are still going after Pdogs in South Dakota, and most draw results aren’t posted until June or latter for big game so everything’s still up in the air. Definitely will be hunting whitetails here in Minnesota since all licenses are OTC.

I don't know if you would call it hunting but I shoot coyotes out the upstairs back door in the morning if there is still some there when I get enough light. Got 6 this winter but one was mangy.
 We shoot gophers every year, some more then others.

WE also have to wait for the big game draws to see if we get a chance at Mule Deer, Elk ,or Moose. All of which we can hunt on our own place.
 WE can get a OTC tag for White Tail. My daughter got a nice buck this fall so if I don't get drawn for something else I may have to get a White tail tag as well. Not a Duck, Geese or upland game bird hunter but we have Sharptail Grouse and Hungarian Partridge here. Not really a water fowl area.
I can't tame wild women

Hopefully turkey in the spring.
Heading to SA in June hunting Kudu, Zebra, Impala, Blesbok, Wildebeest.
September - December - whitetail deer in TN. Talking with a friend today and we’d like to get in on a pheasant hunt somewhere...

Going to Idaho again in October for rifle elk & mule deer. Four of us going and it may be the last time for a while since Idaho is increasing their elk tags from $416 to $650 in 2021. We had to be on the ball this year as the nonresident tags for  our area went on sale Dec. 1st and sold out Dec. 2nd. They had 647 elk tags for the area and sold out in two days (first come first serve). I'm willing to bet they won't sell out in 2021 when they jack the prices that much in a year. Anyway, I know we'll have a great time there, we always do. Hoping to have the 6.5-300 score again.
I love the smell of deer guts in the morning, it smells like...VICTORY!

Probably going to hunt deer and elk on OTC licenses in Washington and try to limp my old carcass to Colorado for mule deer and elk.  Happy Trails

Do it right, and do it right the first time.

Glad to know I'm not the only old fart limping around the mountains of Colorado, probably an OTC for elk there this year. I had a plains archery tag for whitetails and mule deer and passed since none were big enough for the wall.

Just deer, hogs, ducks and cranes in the Texas Panhandle.
