Hunting and shooting thread

[amberg]

And I thought coyotes were bad enough, Can't imagine a bunch of wild hogs running around.

I would love to hog hunt... But I don't want them to move into my backyard..lol.

Still way early now. How many deer can you folks shoot, how many doe days, I'm sure most of the season is buck only?

Rifle season is one Buck and depending on location, up to three Does.
We also have doe only season, black powder and a late firearms season.
Archery is any deer.

I spend most of rifle season, chasing down trespassers and poachers.
Lots of dirt bag low life's driving the roads at night with spot lights.
Opening weekend is like going to the circus.

Me either, Would love to shoot the bastards though!

 

[srb08]

I hear ya. We can shoot 12 in Ga a season...they're just rampant here. And the hawgs are 12 months a yr so we bust their asses at will.

How's the Hog problem in Georgia?
We're starting to see feral hogs in Southern Mo but they aren't as far North as me. I've shot them in Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. When we were in Tennessee, we'd planned on hitting Georgia, but had to leave before a Blizzard hit. Just made it home before Hwy 55 was closed S of St. Louis.
I love Hog hunting.

 

[merc_man]

You shoot that 1187 yet?

Yup. Had it out the other morning and shot about 20 shots through it without any problem. So figure it must have been the orfice hole pluged up.


I dont think it was the shells i was shooting but i was shooting different shell the other day when i tried it. Will find out tomorrow when i go goose hunting.

Hogs here are serious problem for farmers, especially corn and peanut farmers. They rotate here btwn the two aforementioned, and cotton. The hogs wreak havoc on the fields. If I could get some of you guys here, I could drag yall's asses an hour away from my home, and just blister their asses...like shooting fish in a barrel. Could take you fellas to a buddy of mine's property about two hours southeast of me, has about 80 acres that borders and touches the Ocmulgee River...some of the biggest Russian boars and offspring you ever seen.

That sounds like a kick ass time.
If you decide to do it, I'll bring a bunch of dry aged steaks and other good stuff.

Here in Michigan you can shoot two bucks and a doe with a "combo" license, or you can get a single buck license and then a doe license.

I believe if you get the combo, your second buck needs to be bigger than the first.

I only get a single buck license and buy my doe tags as I need them (depending on the county, doe tags are unlimited) For eating, I would rather eat a younger doe than a buck. I have a buck tag though just in case I see a nice one that is wall worthy walking by though...

I've always heard how bad hogs are in Texas and I have been going there a few times a year over the past 3-4 years and I have yet to see one until this summer.
This was the first wild hog I have ever seen. We kicked him up at a pond while riding ATV's around.

Headed down to the farm with dad to tighten up a bunch of treestands. About a month later than I'd like.

Won't be long and the leaves will be dropping
