Deer/ Turkey hunting
- Thread starter Chuck Richard
- Start date
Unfortunately, my busiest work season is March-June, the same time that i should be out in the woods calling in a big gobbler. I haven't been able to turkey hunt as much as i'd like to, but hope to remedy that situation soon. also living here, I don't have access to places to hunt like i'd like to.
My goal is to take a big hunt next year. I may try for elk in MT/WY, or I may try for a Canada bear hunt. I also need to start first thing in the spring looking for a place to lease for deer hunting in northern MO. That is where i hunted until i turned 18, and we lost our lease. I've seen deer crossing fields up there that looked like cows, no lie. Wonderful, wonderful deer country.
Stories?? Coolest thing that has happened to me was a couple of years ago, I was hunting from a stump in rifle season. To one side was a large brush pile. I heard rustling to one side of it, was prepared and waiting for a deer to come around. It was only about 20' from me. To my surprise, two foxes came around. That began to approach me, sniffing trying to figure out what i was. It would have ruined my hunt if I would have capped one of them, which was my obvious first impulse. They got close enough to me that i was kicking at them, try to scare them off. I finally stood up and would charge at them, they'd retreat, and then come back to sniffing at me. Weirdest thing i've ever seen. Finally ran off. Wasn't wearing fox piss or any of that stuff. They oughta change that phrase from, "sly as a fox" to "curious as a fox".
Got some good stories?? Ever do any bear and boar hunting?? I had a college buddy from NC that would bring me videotapes of them running boars and bears with their hounds. Man, those bears would tear those hounds to pieces!! The coolest thing, after awhile they'd unleash a pitbull from each side, and all you'd see in the frame was a boar surrounded by hounds, and all of a sudden you'd see two white flashes (the pits) come in from each side and latch on to the boars neck. It didn't take long after that. Kinda brutal, but the coolest footage i've ever seen!

man good looking deer. havn't seen anything worth taking yet this year but deer hunting really isn't my love they are to easy, i love turkey hunting. These birds are super smart, espicialy around here because of their predators, coyotes and foxes.

Would you believe I went in a cave one day and kicked a bear so's my hunting partner could shot it,no.Would you believe then I went in the cave not knowing a bear was in there and stepped on the bear.ONLY LIGHT I HAD WAS A BIC'LIGHTER which wasn't every bright which kept going out,I told my hunting partner it smelled like bear in there but he didn't believe until the bear almost ran over him.I think its the only time in my life my hair stood striaght up,my hat was standing a good six inches above my head,thats what my partner said away.
Would you believe a Turkey was working his way to me and a rattlesnake came sneaking by just about the same time the Turkey got into shooting range,a long morning calling was wasted on a snake.
One day while in a deerstand a squrr'el tried running me out of it,he even knocked my hat off one time,he was T'd about something.He'd bark like crazy,jump from limb to limb and run down at me kicking bark from the tree as he came down,you cann't derrhunt with a T'd of squrr'el.
I took a friend Duckhunting which he had never been,ducks where not working that day but I knew where a pond was that had plenty of ducks in it.He shot several and took them home with him,I told him they where black ducks which wasn't a ly,we do not eat coots around here but have plenty to shoot at.
My hunting partner got this little buck [bunny]
