I voted yes as I we have forums on everything else, why not hunting.

Also if it doesn't interest you, like the religion ones don't me, don't go in them:-6

I've always been under the impression that more forums may lead to more bandwidth being used from which one would want to eliminate ones that are scarcely representative...

I could be wrong though...

I don't get it, but there are 24-hour cable stations dedicated to hunting. Opening such a forum will probably help grow our membership.

Not to worry Hoss TS will determine that and make it happen as I think its a go.

I voted yes, why not we have every other subject.

qsducks · Post by **qsducks** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 8:00 am

I voted yes cuz I know people who hunt and they love it. Personally, I can't get past the idea of sitting in a tree all morning waiting for the "moment":wah:

I would fall out of the tree from total boredom. Hey, all tree standers, bring your Nintendo DS. They love it though. I would have to agree walking, hiking is a much better option. Hey, when we were at the beach and driving off island we saw a bunch of deer. Sadly, it was August.:wah:

I take it you don't hunt whitetail much...

...

I like to hunt in any way that finds me face to face with the animal from which I'm hunting at a preference range of about 35 or less yards...

I am however not partial to sitting in the cold for over 5 hours.

What do you mainly hunt where you live?...

I just voted "yes" on the poll. We should all be permitted to have a forum to discuss things that really interest us:-6

The deer here are mule deer, I’ve not seen any other types, back home it’s a fair mix of the two, we don't tree stand hunt back home, we track and shoot from the ground. But there it's our own land and we know it well. We do stop and wait on trails and migratory areas. I do a lot of waiting when we Turkey shoot. But pig hunting is my favorite, and so is quail hunting. I love to go after the Quail they are very difficult to shoot. But I have the dog now so she rousts them up. If I could just keep her from getting me into trouble with the local black bear population I'd be much happier!

I hope to hunt my uncles land in CO in the spring but I’m not sure yet what I can hunt at that time there.

I don't know much about Mule deer...

I know, here, it's not overly easy to hunt whitetails on foot...At least I've never found it to be...

Walk up next to my barrel and I'm a happy camper...

Hoss;1045670 wrote: LOL, I guess it’s how you learn to hunt, or who teaches you. With my dad it was lessons in tracking and stalking and learning all you can about the animals habits. My quail hunts have been interesting, the covey’s have been difficult to find but I finally found them when they grouped together as the weather turned. Finding their water source was difficult as well. But having located them and reading of their habits I was able to get some clean shots, which was extremely difficult, they are relatively small, stay mostly to ground and are difficult to roust. When they do fly up they are like lightening to shot. I have their pattern down now so I've been able to get 4-6 of them each time I go out. My dog has helped, to roust them up, but, she seems to track down the bigger animals, she brought me right into three big black bears the last time we were out. Thankfully for some reason they are afraid of the dog. I can't figure out why, she's about 12 pounds soak and wet. :wah:

Well I'd rather run into 3 black bears any day as opposed to one Grizzly.

But hunting in Ohio is mainly done throughout the wood lines of crops from which doesn't necessarily make tracking in Ohio a necessity...

Mostly, in Ohio, a deer stand serves typically well about 15-35 yards away from a staged feeder or a crop that "you've" discovered deer have been frequenting...Place the deer stand between their food and their source of water and "you'll" have yourself a winters worth of game meat you'd spend $500-$1000 otherwise all from beef one grows used to.

Venison sausage along with deer jerky, when made right of curse, is nothing shy of excellent along with most of the other meat cuts from a deer.

:yh_drool...

Thinking about it I will head out to buy my hunting license before the week is out...Hopefully tomorrow!!!!...

Me too! I'd take the black bears over a Grizzly anyday!

Well Ohio has significant population densities even in the rural areas...To an extent...I mean most of it is farmland from which setting up a tree stand is basically all you have to do...Setting up a tree stand in a rural area in Ohio and not seeing a deer all year from my own observances is virtually impossible...:wah:...

All one needs to know how to do is to not wet themselves when they see a deer and to be able to shoot straight from an inclination of no longer than 45 yards...:wah:...

Deer is for dinner.

I voted no, if its a need for food fine, but not as a sport, I do not enjoy seeing animals gunned down for trophys.

Tyranny of the minority! :wah:

You're right, though. A forum on gun ownership may as well be named "Anti-gun Nut Magnet" forum.

There's always suitable options.

He walked up to the counter next to me and asked the saleswoman how many rounds of amunition they had sold in the last week and has it been up or down?

:mad:

I rolled my eyes and walked away and as I turned the saleswoman said to the guy 'this isn't an information shop this is a gun shop, we sell guns and ammo and sportmans supplies, we dont sell information.

Had the guy walked around and looked himself he could have seen the shelves are nearly clear of ammo. Which means nothing more than the fact that hunting season is in full swing.

He was no different then the girl that walks into a bar with her chest hanging out her top and her ass hanging out her skirt... he just wanted the attention.

Yes. They should.

A forum such as this needs a place for hunters to gather and discuss.

Just in case you missed it - I added "The Outdoors" forum in the "Hobbies - Special Interests" section of the forum. Discuss all things "Outdoors" there - and if it grows and gains traction, we can break out individual subjects like hunting, hiking, etc.
