Any Bow Hunters or just Hunters in general?

Always those numbers, even here

 

I almost hit a rather large 8 point this morning. Had to be at least 230lbs. Nice solid rack on him. I almost hit him about 70 yards from where I was parking my car. Lol. We seen a Turkey, a weasel, a doe and 2 yearlings. Thats was it. Too many people trampling through the woods. Our license sales are up 8% so there's a lot more people taking up Hunting due to covid. Wish they'd take theirs asses back to work. Had people sitting right under my scent wicks in 2 different spots. Lol I hate people. So we stomped all through the area, fuck em. Was a good time regardless. We were out from 5am to 430pm. I'm beat.

 

Fckn pricks some people aint they mate.
same here with hunting.
not that every one here wants to take up hunting,they dont.its just since the start of this covid every fucker running of to the woods or up a mountain.before covid these places were empty.
they shut towns and stuff and people wanna go and party in the woods.i took something like a dozen bin bags of shite from the local wood not long ago.wood was spotless before covid.not only that but some daft cunt had burnt a pallet and had a bomb fire.i thought whoever it was must be strong to carry a pallet all the way the woods.pallets are hard to light on fire to,as they are treated with borax.what loon had carryied a pallet to start a fire when theres tones of woods around lol.fckn think as fuck some people.fckn stupid cunts.
when the ban got lifted i cleand up the wood coz i camp there and i aint camping in shit and filth.and every one fckd back to the towns.thank fck the dirty bastatds.
here what i found....
jonnys.smack needles.crack pipes.human shit.boxers,knickers exc.tin foil.a couple of shopping trollys.a abandend plastic tent.plastic bottles plastic crisp rappers.and all this junk was half in the wood half in the fckn river.
the farms surrounding(witch i hunt tottaly undetected)are full of rubbish and burnt firers and the land owners are now out in force.
all coz the ban pushed every fcker to go hide down the woods and have a party.
more ticks in the area to coz every fcker brought along there pet rover to the party.

All the best.and try stay positive.most people take up hunting or bush craft and dont last very long.just like any other hobby they take up they get board with it eventully.

 

I been looking for a pic of this buck but no luck lol.

 

Went back out today with my cousin and his girlfriend. Only seen one. Surprised more people weren't out seeing as it was Pennsylvanias first ever legal Sunday gun hunt. I enjoyed the peace and quite.

 

What a long day today. Me and my daughter been in the woods from an hour before sunrise till a half hour after the sun had set. First time in there with snow on the ground. About a foot of it. Deer Sign everywhere. All 5 spots we have set up back there had signs of being checked..

We saw 6 deer today. Only 1 was a buck. Daughter only had an asshole shot on him and I won't shoot a deer on the move when I know a lot of other people are in the area so it lives another day. The others were doe and we don't have tags for them. I did have one in my scope at 40 yards with an 30.06 loaded with 5 155gr. FMJ Hollowpoints. She was broadside too. At that distance and round, she'd of buckled into herself and hit the dirt hard. It was hard not to squeeze one off on her but we where on state gamelands so I try not to break the law lol. For the most part anyway. Lol.



I wear a size 11 shoe. That's a very large buck that made this track.

 

We got the area pretty well explored and marked key areas on the GPS. It's all prepped and ready. Just need everything to come together. I love this area.

 

Sorry, but maybe it fits in here.

Don’t see how killing things can be considered a sport"

I skipped work today and my daughter skipped school. Went hunting instead.
I still got paid and she learns more relevant skills in the woods anyways. Didn't see shit today. Other than I found a good turkey spot where they're roosting. Marked it and be back in the spring. We were calling back and forth early this morning. Interacting with wild turkey is probably my favorite thing to do in the woods.





Found a pumpkin in the woods so I let my kid shoot at it at 50 yards. We were on our way out anyways. She was about 2 inches to the left from hitting it.




I didn't miss. Lol.

 

Yes,they learn more in the woods then they do in school.

School is brainwashed stuff.not only that,but kids find it boring as hell.(well,I did any way,my daughter don’t to be honest)and it ain’t changed much since I was in school,save the technology side,and computer side that is.

 

My cousin who I hunt and fish with often smacked this girl yesterday, she straight buckled. Helping him butcher it today. She's a big girl. Or was. Lol.

He hit her at 12 yards with a 150 grain ballistic 30.06 round. You could put a 2 litter bottle through the exit wound it made. Hit her in her neck and went out the opposite side mid rib cage. She dropped but was wailing loud AF. She then took two 9mm rounds point blank in her ear to stop. Tough old gal.



My dogs been living like hogs this season. I haven't even shot one yet and my stand alone freezer is half full already. Still 2 more tags to fill before the end of January.

My daughters best friend parents just had a cow butchered and I'm getting everything not used from that too. These dogs here so fat right now which never happens in the winter. I always have a struggle to keep weight on them. Now I'm worried about how much I have to take off them in the spring.

 

Last day of the Gun Season was today. No luck but we had a good season anyway. Learned a new area really well. Seen a ton of animals in that spot and signs of them. Found bear tracks today, small youngin that was chewing on that spikes head. Those signs always makes me nervous when I find those signs in my hunting area.



KK scoping out the other side of the ridge.



Then she found a salamander. Never seen this species around here. Wasn't alive. Looks like something had it by it's face.



She busted her heat seat plopping down on it on that root.

 

Had 6 doe circling me for around and hour this morning staying 30-40 yards of me. Had no idea I was there, just went about their day looking for food. They hung out in that thicket of trees (top of the photo). No anlterd though. It sucks seeing doe every time I go out and not being able to smack one with a rage broadhead. It gets my heart pumping though when you first see them. I love that rush. Only got 2 more weeks left. Not looking good but I'll still be out there trying.

 

Kicking around spending some of my stimulus money on the this Killer Instinct Ripper combo. It's a good price for a bow that'll shoot 415 fps. Neber really been a huge fan of the crossbows but in the late season its hard to hold a compound drawn when your shivering cold.

 

Found the largest turtle shell I've ever seen here in the frozen swamps I was hunting today. Pretty cool find.

 

There is a fisher in this photo if you got good eyes.

 

Real solid 9 point shed I found out by my parents place today. For a size reference, that's a 30 round 5.56 caliber magazine in the middle. Main beams like 3" thick. The deer that had these on it's head is definitely large.

 

Nice Buck killed .This same dude got a 9 point last year that maybe biggest buck I ever saw
