hunting season
I am not sure how many others on here hunt. I used to hunt elk and dear but have since retired from that and now only do upland game and water foul. I do it for the fun and of course everything I kill goes to consumption. going out today, in about another 3 hours for dove hunting. How many other water foul and upland game bird hunters (Quail, pheasant, duck) do we have out there? Be safe everyone.

Been so in the past,not so much any more. Deer,Elk,Duck,Pheasant,Dove, Geese they were all fun. When my 1st wife on I were just married we lived on a Deer I got and an Elk Rump from a friend. Next year was Deer and a case of tuna. Good days those, good memories. Good luck on your dove quest. Ours was last week.Cold wind has moved in so they will all be heading south.

You are right Bob. In fact that is what it has always been about,at least to me. My son drew out on a deer permit this year,and as much as possible I will walk with him for the comradeship.

Love to hunt. Mainly hunt deer a trukey.
Little small game mixed in.
When I first started hunting yes ago, I was more concerned about success. Now I watch deer walk by and take in the sounds, sights and smells of the fall woods.
The meeting after the hunt at our shop is the best part. Sharing stories of the hunts, and congratulating those that were successful is what I look forward to the most.

I use to be an avid hunter... Elk, deer, antelope in Wyoming & Colorado... don't hunt big game anymore... I do however do still enjoy dove hunting.. but its getting harder & harder to find places to hunt. .. if you don't own property its just about impossible.. or just too expensive

Been getting ready. Got a couple of additional shotguns this year. Dunno why, except that I wanted to add to my toy collection. ("toy" being a play on words) The son, grandsons and I have been to the trap and sporting clay ranges several times to get the feel of the new shotguns. Spending time at the archery range with the crossbow, pistol range with the Super Blackhawk, and the rifle range with the flintlock............been having a bunch of fun!

One of the things I found in Virginia Beach on display and heard of in a book called Chesapeake, was a long gun, for hunting resting water fowl. The gun would be mounted on supports over the length of row boat, and geese landed on the lake, they would be shot. I never said it was sporting, but only that it was done. Apparently, a routine means of hunting in the 19th century.

Been out in the forests doing some preseason scouting. Lot of acorns; hope it means fat and happy deer.
Picked up another shotgun yesterday. Why? I dunno. Just needed another one I guess.
A "Ted Williams" (Sears & Roebuck) model 200, 20gauge. Manufactured for Sears by Winchester, the final year being 1978, I believe. Not a mark on it. Anywhere.
Monday will be a good day to pattern the factory installed polychoke.

Hunting
I found a way to enjoy my grouse hunting and Spyder riding with my English Setter. It's insulated for the heat or cold and my SKB breaks down in it's case and fits inside under her mattress. We have some good grouse hunting in the Cascades in the fall out here in Oregon if you know where to go. I used to love Pheasant and Chukar hunting but my knees can no longer hold up to that

No, Bob , my wife did not like any of the toy-haulers we looked at and as we sold our house this summer I wanted a rig for full timing as I'm retiring next year. I have been full timing for the last 25 years as a traveling superintendent and she has always held down the fort, but after she retired 2 years ago she felt no need to stay home and take care of a house we weren't using. She pulls the Spyders on a flat bed with her Pathfinder and I haul the trailer with my truck. When we camp I pull the tent trailer and she pulls the dog trailer. We've tried several different things and this works the best for us now. When I retire we will camp-host in the north and snowbird in the south for a few years. I'm building a RV garage, shop, apartment close to Portland where my son lives so we will spend time up there in the summer months sometimes.
