Hunting

ew i wouldn't even try to eat them. that'd be like eating the family dog...if the family dog subsisted on mice and rabbits and dead animals and occasionally found garbage to eat. You would have to be really redneck I would think to eat coyote

I have only actually known like 2 people who shot one and they both when to the taxidermist. selling their pelts makes sense though

 

pelts. i wouldn't eat them. know a few trappers that will take them for the pelts.

 

easy winter letting the bucks hold their antlers long this year. this guy is going to be a real good buck next fall.


i did find half an 8 pter shed next to a hole in a fence i watch them crawl under.

 

Spring Turkey starts this weekend

 

good luck
may 1st here. can't wait, watching a flock that has 5-6 mature birds in it right now.

 

anyone else doing spring turkey?
hit the woods this morning for a dry run. sounded good. 4-5 different birds gobbling on the roost. next sunday is the real deal.

 

Nothing in shooting range both weekends here. Heard em but didn't see em.

 

long beard down

 

Remington 1100 12ga. Camo tape over the microphone muffles the sound. still haven't settled on a p.o.v. camera yet. like the video quality on this stealth epic i used today.but its aaa batteries and it burns them fast,even the lithiums.
as for the turkey, some guy was on the other side of a ridge from me, calling like crazy, i just sat quiet made 10-15 calls over an hour and let the birds find me. up at 4, game over by 630.

 

cameras have started out slow. but i got this guy enough times to notice the growth over a 3 week span.
this is from the mlb-880i from moultrie. going into the second season and the flash stopped working so no night pictures. that hurts in the summer since thats when the big boys move most. the 2nd generation of the m-880 has performed better so far. although there is one glitch, if it is photo/video mode during low light hours the photo will be in night vision but the video of the same trigger event will be without flash and too dark to view. weird programming glitch. willing to live with it if it continues to perform like it has so far.over 600 pics and 30 sec video clips and still running on the same 8 AA lithium batteries it started on.
thats my camera review.

So it's kinda like the Pokemon game, but with guns?

 

I have always wanted to go hunting, but growing up in Brooklyn/Central Jersey there aren't too many opportunities, so pretty much just stick to fishing. Would love to hunt something big and dangerous...like a bear...or a mountain lion

 

less hipsters, more nature. real hunting is way better just with those 2 things

 

Thats pretty awesome. Will definitely check it out. I would want to take some kind of class anyway, as I know nothing about hunting.

 

Mountain lion hunting is a workout but not that dangerous. They use dogs to track and tree the cat. You ctach up and shoot the cat out of the tree. Me personally wouldnt do it.
The guide hunts in the catskills might be good though. Bear numbers are close to an all time high and those guys know where the bears will be.

 

I had no idea that's how it was hunted....I wouldn't want to just shoot a cat in a tree lol.
