Hunting And Fishing Thread!?!

[Smoking Allowed]

Nice especially with a recurve and wooden arrows

Thanks @Smoking Allowed ! That’s a 1969 Bear polar. And the barred feather on the arrows is from a turkey I shot also. Good times for sure

Rifle season opens this Friday. My 14yr old daughter has her first buck tag and 12yr old her doe tag. Been watching a few bucks most of the year in my area

 

[Compulsive Smoker]

Wow! Good luck to both of them!

I've no game pics to share, but I have started pheasant hunting again, for the first time in decades. I used to hunt them on the family farm in southern Idaho. Now that I'm up in the panhandle, I'm really north of their range, but Fish and Game is stocking some in a nearby wildlife management area, trying to get a population reintroduced. Without a dog, and with endless cover on the WMA (no bare ground to try and drive the pheasants towards, usually they'll hold rather than running across bare ground, then flush when you get close), I've little chance of bagging one. But it makes for a very pretty fall walk, so I'm getting out once a week or so. The Coeur d'Alene river loops around much of the WMA, so there is also potential for ducks, geese, and trout.

Best part of pheasant hunting was time spent with my dog! Sure do miss her! In the winter of 09 and 10, we had alot of snow... I had 6 inches of my colon removed and had 34 staples in my belly... remember looking out the window and seeing nothing but her butt and tail sticking out from behind a tree. I'll be danged if she didn't come out with a rooster pheasant in her mouth, and then delivered it to the front door!

And this is just this Fall within the last week and this sh!t happens every year!

Nice!

My first harvest this season…kinda small but that makes for great cuts!

We used to have a saying when younger. "Everyone is a member of the 35# club at one time or another", especially if all you have is public land to hunt.

I shot one when first married and self butchered. Wrapped and entire front leg in Freezer paper and gave to M-n-L and she cooked it for Christmas dinner. It was fabulous! I said I need to shoot a bigger one next time and she said "You shoot a little one anytime your want, that was the best venison I ever had!"

So as a vet I've always taken Veterans Day off and fished. I generally would hit up the south facing beaches for the last of the Fall run and hopefully catch some stripers or blues but age has kinda slowed that down and with the past few years being pretty lame I've gotten back into more freshwater fishing.

So here's yesterdays hall:

All 10"s of it!

A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work…
