00W's AIO Smorgasbord

If I go out hunting anymore its with the bow, the 10 day gun season around here is just crazy town.

We are blessed to have a lease in Georgia that only myself, my husband, my father in law and two of our nephews hunt. All together is about 900 acres total my father in law started leasing it about 40 years ago.

I really really do. I use federal fusion 140 and it has dropped every one i have shot as long as I got a good shot. Longest shot I have tried with it was about 250 yards.

Thats incredible, will probably try it instead of the browning 300 win mag if I gun hunt at all. That 300 is just a beast to carry around.

What kind of rifle do you guys use

Good night peanut!

 

[Calmwaters]

it would be. that was just a 200 lb bear, they took a 722 pound bruin down the road......

Good thing his son didn't panic.

Pretty sure it's elk season here.
I do not hunt but I do feed all the hunter's in the morning and some of them said they were taking off for a bit.

That's what my husband has and that thing kicks like a mule compared to mine.

Never had elk as we aren't allowed to hunt the ones they brought in to repopulate the reservation here.

I wonder if @luis angel found any good deals today.

we have elk here in the county but they only issue a few tags a year, although someone shot 2 bull elk during the whitetail season a couple years ago thinking they were deer.

Lots of it around here.
Some of my old veterans have been eating with me for about 10 years and they bring me some every year.
They bring me venison, bear and salmon too.
I just wish they brought me rabbit.
That's my favorite.

My husband is thinking about getting some meat rabbits to grow. We rabbit hunt but the population just isn't as good as it use to be. Too many coyotes killing off small game.

Definitely chiming in on this one. For the soy and corn fields on the farm, it's a .257 weatherby mag and in the delta bottoms and hardwood forests, it's the .35 whelen. But an alt 6 is about all anyone ever needs too lol

Deer bow season opened here last week but I don't know if I am going to bother this year. Bear season is open here and not to far from me I see a guy was getting mauled by a bear and his 14 year old son shot the bear off of him, that would be crazy.

Our deer season opened a couple of weeks back.

That doesn't sound like an accidental shooting to me...
