One of my hobbies is bow hunting. I'm packing up for four days in the blistering heat to hopefully find a thirsty deer.

Thank goodness our deer season doesn't start till the end of September...couldn't imagine sitting in a tree swatting skeeters in this heat...

 

[frodo]

tip..on the first day,

50 lb sack of corn spread out over a 1/4 acre

gunny sac with 50 lbs in it hanging from a tree, cut a corner of the sac

give them 2 days to find it.

spend the night watching the tree, and about daybreak, you outta see it move

or when the sun goes down..depends on the deer

I have not done it. but a buddy of mine.

gets satellite images of his hunting area.

he looks for the trails, then sets up on where 2 trails go into 1

Tip. If I bait in California I go to jail.

 

[Chris]

Last time I was there a couple months ago I saw 13 deer hanging by the lake at one time while I was waiting on a turkey.

 

[frodo]

you cant feed chickens? and ground critters ? LOL


I hate rules.

 

[Chris]

I drew an archery only tag this year which is good in every zone of the state. If I don't get one here I can go to the mountains in September fifth and start hunting it. Makes it nice but can't use a rifle. I do have another tag for my mountain house area for general rifle season.

I'm feeding a wild horse.

We can bait up until 30 days before season open.

I have a herd of 9 I feed here...My wife, the Game warden, Will not let me shoot them with anything but a Nikon

 

[frodo]

couple days ago..

 

[Chris]

I have quail on my property that I am not allowed to shoot

 

[frodo]

quail? really?

why?

 

[Chris]

Wife likes them. I like to eat them. We had a bunch but I think the coyotes are getting them. I would shoot the coyotes but I want them to eat the rabbits.

 

[oldognewtrick]

Uh, rabbits are pretty tasty.

 

[Chris]

I should try one. I never have.

 

[oldognewtrick]

Tastes like chicken.

 

[slownsteady]

I wonder what this guy would taste like....?

 

[Chris]

Well got the golf cart loaded. Do you think I will have a tailgate when I get there?
