Gotta love this ^
Been hunting for over 40 yrs, prefer archery over anything.
I'm hoping for a couple whitetail and maybe a black bear here in PA... just moved here though so I'm hoping to find some private land I can hunt rather than hunting the state game lands.So what is everyone planning this year??
I will be archery here in Ca, D zone, and archery in Idaho. Already have deer and elk tags for Id:emoji_thumbsup:
Oh, yep, I enjoy hunting. I enjoy preparing it correctly so it tastes good too.Hey JMT.....maybe this is a better place to talk about our hunting
You see many feral pigs there?
The wild pigs come an go here. They move around a lot looking for food. We have a lot of different type of oak trees here the produce acorns for pigs, deer, turkeys along with a lot of other animals and birds. Our Blacktail here do pretty good as long as they can avoid the Mt Lions and coyotes.Oh, yep, I enjoy hunting. I enjoy preparing it correctly so it tastes good too.
Feral pigs are here, and to stay! You can't kill them all and they breed like rabbits, as you know.
It's interesting how different the animals are near our annual hunt, around Cotulla, TX, and here in Fredericksburg. Of course, there's overlap, such as whitetail and hogs, but up here I see coons and foxes all the time, and down there I don't. And down there they have javelina, but not up here. Also the birds there are different. They have green jays. If you've never seen one, they're beautiful green and blue and yellow. Just amazing to watch.
Good luck in Idaho this year! Yea...same here, still eating on the local Blacktail I got this last deer season ( September).Just finished the last of my deer from ID
Already have my deer and elk tags for 18 so hoping to replenish the supply
Yup. Pine cones to Elk. Cougar, Black Bear rarely. Mostly it seems to be armed cross country hiking.
Nice buck! I've taken Mule deer and lots of Blacktail..... Never a Whitetail. Congratulations!View attachment 28647 My 2017 Oklahoma Buck.
You have all kinds of stuff there you can hunt and eat. Too bad you don't have any water. We have a lot of springs that run year around.We have axis down here too. I love axis. It basically tastes like a slightly sweet beef. I’ve only seen one on my property. They usually spend time near water and they live in herds. They’re unpredictable in their wandering. They are considered exotics, so you can hunt them year round. Just wish we had some on our place, but we got no water so we got no axis.
We also have Syka (Japanese for deer), they run like gazelle’s. We also have black buck.
