Anyone on here waiting for deer season?

[Quikcobra]

Anyone on here hunt? If so where? for what? And what do you use (Shotgun, bow, rifle)?

Im in Orlando, This will be my first time hunting period and I chose deer. I picked up a remmington .243 with a bushnell scope & a mossy tactical 12 ga. (I know not the best but got a smokin deal on it). I am looking for a nice compund bow tho. Anyone know any good spots? That you dont have to lease?

i have always wanted to go hunting but havent been able to, and from what i know the .243 is great for deer. i have decided that in my case i want my first of each animal to be with a bow, but you can do what you want. and sorry i dont know any spots, i live as far away from you as you could get excluding Hawaii and Alaska, good luck though, i hope you get a nice one!

I currently live in CA but a couple years ago I lived in NH with my family. I always loved hunting. Ive got one 6 point buck. That was one of the first times i ever went. I used a shotgun. After that, I went turkey hunting more than anything. I loved that. I used my compound bow, and it was amazing how silent it is. The other turkeys dont even hear it ussually. lol

We hunt deer, hog, duck, turkey, bear & elk. we've hunted ga, ill, nm,tx, the dakotas, and of course fl . I use a .30-06 and a 20 guage shotgun. I can't bow hunt cause of a bad shoulder, and refuse to use a crossbow.

^^Why do you refuse? lol not everyone is allowed to use one...

I would like to find a nice compound bow. But until I find one I like I'll use what I already have. Im going this week to get my draw length, and such at basspro. So it may help out a bit with my hunt for the bow.

I was informed that I can hunt on managment property. So I'll find some of them. But im sure there are spot that people have luck with, And places they hate. I do want to get some turkey's. Know any good spots for turkey? I dont mind a little trip. Orlando probably isnt going to be my best bet...

I hunt deer and wild hogs on my property. Typically I will use a 264 mag, 30-06, or a 300 win mag depending on what and where I am hunting. I really want to get back into Bow hunting again but I need a new sidearm before I need a bow.. So instead of a Mathews z7 I'm gunna aim for a Kimber 1911.

This cold air has moved in and I'll be honest I'm looking forward to the sounds of the woods as the sun comes up on a frosty morning in November.

I'll be heading up to Northwestern Pa for the opening of Muzzleloader next week. It's Antlerless only, but it is a good time to get the final scouting in for Buck in Nov\Dec. I use my 7MM Mag during reg rifle season. My boy will be going out with me for his second year of PA's mentoring program. We picked him up a bolt 30/30 last year. Taking him out squirrel hunting Monday also. Love this time of year!

a mossy tactical 12 ga. (I know not the best but got a smokin deal on it).

What's wrong with the Mossberg tactical 12 gauge? Haha I just bought one today. Nice gun. It's not really "for hunting" but it's fun to shoot for sure and has tons of add ons possible. How much did u get yours for and was it new or used? I got mine new for $350 out the door.

Sometimes i wish we had the wild hogs up here like you guys do down south, sure would be fun to run some hounds on. we have a few locations around the state with a few wild ones so i figure in the future we will have them critters too.

I will be going out running our beagles on some bunnies tomorrow. I mostly just run beagles anymore and spring turkey hunt. I used to bear hunt, coyote hunt, and racoon hunt all with my big hounds. When gas started going up in price i got out of the big hounds since i had to drive about 3 hours to get into bear country. There is not much more exciting than a big bear in a tree looking down on you and knowing it could take you out if it wanted to too

nothing wrong with the mossbergs, i will have one of their turkey guns next year.

good luck and safe hunting to all

later, dave

This might be my first season hunting. We'll see if I get any weekends off during the very short firearms season, otherwise perhaps muzzle-loader season?
