Any Hunters Among Us?

[TheBeardedSam]

We have a medium size farm for our area. I hunt whitetale, turkey, quail, dove and ducks. I am fortunate enough to guide quail hunting here in Southwest GA and keep a small kennel of pointers with one English cocker. Lately I have been into hunting ducks on the Forgotten Coast of FL. Tons of divers and we hunt from kayaks. We can leave South GA around 3:30 and be on the gulf before sunrise. I have also found and interest in bow hunting for bear in North Ga.

Deer season opens this coming Saturday morning, so I was out setting up camp this weekend. This is our hunting area, a big piece of landlocked BLM land behind my buddies ranch. There was a big wildfire on the mountain in the background this summer, so hopefully it pushed some deer our way. Last time there was a big wildfire we had our best year ever.

Is that a TVM Flintlock?

I've got a frankenHawken I built with a custom curly maple stock, custom .54 barrel, and it's got the vernier tang sight like the Quigley Down Under rifle.

I've also got a CVA Kit flintlock, a blunderbuss, and enough parts to probably make two more. Love muzzleloaders.

Hunting has always been a part of my life.

I grew up in Michigan, spent 7 years in Southern California and now live in TX. I've haven't hunted TX yet but this is my second year with an out of state License for Arkansas, for $350 you get 6 deer Tags, 2 Turkey , 1 Black Bear and thousands upon thousands of acres of public land. Spent last week roaming the Forest Service Roads scouting for hunting spots. Will be back up there for Black Power Deer and Bear late October. I'm mainly a solo hunter but other are always welcome in camp.

Fellow Texas hill country hunter here. My profile picture was taken enroute to one of my hunting spots! The only meat I have bought at the grocery store in about 6 years is chicken about twice a month. I hunt and trap hogs year round, exotics every time I get the chance and I spend a LOT of time in the woods during deer season. I have never had permission to hunt anywhere with trophy bucks, but this guy showed up on at my spot last year. He would be a cull on most of the fancy ranches around here, but he is a trophy for me. I hunted 51 days primarily for him, finally put him in my truck Dec 20th.

I'm in Coastal NC and we hunt waterfowl, quail, dove, turkey, deer and hogs. We are fortunate to have vast tracts of public land and our rigs are perfect for accessing so many of these hunting opportunities.

Is that a TVM Flintlock?.

The Rifle and the smoothy I made from scratch. The double gun is an original Belgian gun that I sometimes hunt with. It's in too good of condition to leave in the safe, but then I take it out and I'm like "it's too nice to beat up in the field". lol

I spent 26 years in NC. I really miss the Gamelands.

We definitely have a wide variety of opportunities. I do some quail on our game lands and waterfowl but mostly I hunt on private land.

Anyone else here like to hunt? What and where do you hunt?

I'm currently in TX so I hunt the hill country a lot. I'm a freezer filler, never cared much about trophies, just want to feed my family with the highest quality free range, grass fed, organic meat I can. Typically hunt dove, white tail, hogs and turkey.

Heading out to Junction in a couple weeks for deer. I don’t really wing shoot anymore.

My wife and I both hunt here in Northern California. We do go out of state about every other year.
We have a lot of Blacktail deer here....hard deer to hunt, but we usually do pretty good. Use to have a lot of hogs on the ranch, but not so many right now.....they'll be back (I hope). Also both mountain and valley quail and lots of Turkeys. My wife got a nice elk a couple years ago in Idaho.

[ArkansasDon]

took this 8pointer off my farm last Saturday during opening day of Arkansas Muzzleloader Season. He was working a rub line when I called him in. That 496gr. lead slug called " The Trashcan " developed by Jeff Weedling of IN. flat knock his world to the ground. The shot placement couldn't be any more picture perfect.

Muzzleloader: White Super 91-1 w\custom Mauser safety, Caliber .504. 3 shot group @ 100yards 1 bullet cut the same hole

The wife and I hunt archery elk out here Colorado. Had little ones a few years ago so we've only gotten to go a few times recently. But they are getting older so much easier to go in the future.

Yeah and now they've been replaced by the side by sides.
