Deer hunting BS thread

Well that was the plan last season, but he never showed his face in daylight.

 

Had a big 9 like that last year, ton of pictures but not one single one of him in day time hours and we never saw him other than pictures.

 

yewl figure him out, patience, it'll come

never used a trail cam before...

 

You should buy a cheapo and try it. There's some interesting shit happening out there when we're not around.
Side note: my buddy has one out next to his pond, got a pic of 7 otters not long ago.

 

Don’t otters eat a lot of fish? Once fished a small pond and kept seeing two otters, didn’t catch a single fish.

 

Yep, last year he caught lots of bass and blugill, very few this year.
He called the DOC and they said he could 'get rid of them' but they're not overly public animals. He hasn't seen them since that pic.

 

going on my first white tail guided hunt this year and doing a hog hunt as well.
any tips so I dont look like a bigger idiot than normal?

 

In a stand or spot and stalk?

 

deer is blinds/stand
hogs spot and stalk

 

Be proficient and practice with whatever weapon that you'll be using.

 

You trophy buck hunting? Stand hunt is nice, just remember to breathe. Its going to be natural to get excited. Just breathe and just take your time the closer the animal the slower you move. Dont bump your rifle on something in the blind. Pay attention to the guide as they prob have their hitlist bucks or cull bucks. Put the rifle on target, breathe and squeeze trigger. If the animal is looking at you try not to move. Just wait, it may seem like a long time but usually within a few minutes they get back to what they are doing.

 

No not trophy might do a doe first then maybe do something larger, thanks for the tips hearts already pumping just reading your description

 

don't miss

 

If you dont get excited theres a problem.. nothing wrong with a doe, they taste better anyhow...depends on how many tags you have. Dont pass on something first day you wouldnt shoot on last day. If you feel its something you want, its a trophy for you. Within parameters of what the guide says.

 

Can I wear crocs? They're limited camo print.

 

Where ya headed to on this hunt

 

Very important. The guide/outfitter may a minimum on racks.
Some do, some don't...just make sure before you pull the trigger or release the string.

 

Took a trip to Texas and got it done.

 

Private or public?
