I was thinking a foothold trap around the hole, or leave the dead chicken where you found him and place a foothold there…That is, if it’s a spot on the property where the dog doesn’t roam.
You could always tie up a chicken in the woods and use it for bait.
I believe license sales have been steadily decreasing over the past 20 years. I read that somewhere. I don’t know if it is true, but I believe it on the national scale.
In the south maybe not. My son has several friends who hunt. We are in a small country town, though.
I believe the...
Had 10 deer out back this morning, including a pretty nice 10 point I’ve seen several times this year. I want my son to shoot him but he has not been able to get on him fast enough the couple of times he has seen him. I hope that buck makes it to next year. He is going to be a real nice one.
Sub’d. The suspense is too much.
Get a dog. You will be glad you did.
Good luck finding him. I will be watching this thread and looking forward to pics after the recovery.
Those bucks can be some unbelievably tough and determined animals. I’ve seen and lived through this exact scenario my...
I just heard my brother shoot. He doesn’t shoot unless it’s a good buck. He has killed a good one, and some really good ones, every year for the past 30 years. The most consistent mature buck hunter I’ve ever known. What an asshole. LOL
We are on Hightower Trail, the only driveway on the left before you get to 278. Halfway between Social Circle and Rutledge. There has always been big deer around here.
Saw 4 does this evening. Hoping to get our buck in the morning.
Had a pretty nice 10 point sneak in behind us yesterday evening. My son got turned around and almost had a shot but he walked off. He was looking for does and wasn’t spooked at all so maybe we will get a crack at him this evening or this weekend. My son was and still is sick about it. A lesson...
Seeing a lot of dead deer on the side of the roads…Seen a doe yesterday evening but my 9 y/o wants a big buck so she walked. We saw 3 does 2 evenings ago and he passed those too…We plan to go again this evening and get a morning in on Saturday.
Good luck boys, and happy anniversary @davis211 !
Yeah this sounds about right. I’m not an expert, but I can shoot a rifle well enough. If an off the shelf hunting rifle shoots 1.5” MOA or even 2” it is good enough for most hunting applications, especially around here.
I’ve owned a couple of hunting rifles that would shoot 1” MOA with the...
I’ve noticed acorns dropping everywhere around my area. Those deer won’t waste time on corn if they have acorns, especially from white oaks.
I still haven’t been this season. I’ve been busier than a one legged man in a Fanny kicking contest. Soon…
Good luck to those going this coming week, and...
I like the club for getting away. For me the camp is half of the hunting experience. I am looking forward to getting my 9 year old down there. I want him to experience the deer camp. I only wish there were more kids in our camp.
Same here. I have shot them right out of the back door. The box blind I have set up in the field, maybe 150 yards from the back door, is one of the best spots I’ve ever hunted.
I also hunt in a 7,000 acre club located south and west of Barnesville. It’s in Upson and Crawford counties. Great...
