My truck hardly notices the weight.

I have been fortunate to have been to seminars by John Doyle and Duane Adams. This site has a book by Duane Adams buy it. Glassing is a skill that you have to practice to get better at. You can practice at home before the season. Patience and the ability to see a little piece of the deer will help.

I just talked to my brother in Nebraska. Not many Ducks there yet, to warm.

Lock up in your garage. No worries.

Good story but you left out all the stuff mentioned in another post about helicopters.

Armed hikers, criminals, cameras, helicopters, drones, bait, Atv's, antis, butterfly catchers, greed, and avarice abounds in the woods now days. The poor hunter doesn't have a chance anymore. LOL

Lots of people want it changed back but my guess is that Amanda will get it done. But not right away cause it is prime time hunting right now. For those who don't know that it is prime hunting right now then you must be lost.

I am not a statistical expert but I think that you have 10% chance of getting drawn on the first choice and 50% on the second choice after not getting your first choice. To figure out what the chance of getting the second choice before you get rejected for the first choice is a formula that would take a lot figuring. It also depends on who gave you those percentages. But, it don't matter that much in whole scheme of life. IMHO

Viagra for more SD.

At some point he will get away from his body guards. If you are a weekend hunter it will be pure luck to get the right conditions. Stalking deer is a NBA skill. If you don't have it then ambush is the only way. But, it appears that you are having a lot of fun hunting. If you really want to kill him then off the back of a horse, mule will be the easiest.

When I sign in I get normal screen colors. If I sign out I get a garish, some might call it a xmas screen, that hurts my eyes. It is very dark and dreary reddish awful. Not a big problem but just fyi. Maybe its punishment for lurkers. LOL MC

The truth is that penetration on an animal is so variable depending on where and what you hit as to be almost a non issue. We are trying to kill them right? But here we have two or more people who have studied the science of bullets and may or may not agree. That is how new stuff get invented. If you all want to discuss this more, I will read it. But, I will need a little salt, maybe some cheese, and a Perfect Manhattan with that. Ps the word "jerk" was not scientific or helpful. But, if you jerk the gun then all BC SD BS will not make any difference because you missed.

The late Jack O'Connor said "You need to take a little salt with the figures".

Post in the campfire, see classifieds for a new 800 yd pistol. LOL

If we get enough of them then we need to get them delisted. Then another Terrestrial can be hunted.

Nice

I'm in the general area (about 800 yds) of a water hole. I took a couple of ranging shot at my decoy, but the rain is fogging up my old tasco. The news on my smart phone says it will rain more. Do you think that I should stay here or move to the nearest bar?

Read the other post and find out what rifle will lob bullets out to 800+ yds. and then drive the roads and blaze away. If it has a white tail then it is a blacktail, a purple tail is a hippie, watch out for illegals could be any color, they are a protected species, and you will need a shovel to bury the mistakes.

My point is that you nimrods have told 777 viewers that all you need is a .??? rifle and you to can do long range shooting. Only a few have mentioned all of the practice and skill it takes to make the shot. You will reap what you sew.

When are the very few shooters who actually can make a good 800 yd shot going to speak up about these posts. 800 yds easily is a joke.

Common sense says that as hunters get more successful that the numbers of animals will drop. If more guides in an area create more success then the numbers will drop faster. Anytime that you saturate the field with more completion then the success will drop. Say you have a hotdog stand on a real good corner. Then people see your success and bring their hotdog stand to the same corner. At some point the first guy will make less money. So, our hotdog guy has to either move to a different corner or add another hotdog stand on a different corner to keep the same income. I think that a guide will have to at some point develop other hunting spots to compete with increasing numbers of others hunting the same area. I think that the original poster is thinking that the goose that lays the golden egg may at some point dry up one way or the other.

Somewhere I read rules about posting pics of dead animals but I couldn't find it. Maybe they were just suggestions. Any way it would be nice if the guts , blood, etc. were not emphasized like they do on TV, and Movies. I think that is what photofool is talking about and IMHO is a good idea.

You run around the woods in your itchy wool underwear? LOL

Isnt that cheating? Where are the maps of Duck Hunting spots I asked for.
