HUNTING

[roosmom]

, I am first. LOL
Anyway, I hunt with a 30.06, with a scope. My father has hunted with this gun for many many years. I was tickled that he gave it to me.
I also have a shotgun for birds. I am not to fond of bird hunting tho. My husband doesnt like taking me either. It may have something to do with the fact that he was in the way of my shot at a bird,

Don't know if that is bad or not. Doesn't sound good.
I have a 20 gauge shot gun.No scope. Just sites. I had to get my own. Dad got rid of his years ago. I don't hunt birds. I leave that to DH and DD.
Waiting on deer season to open.

I didnt mean to shoot at him. He wasnt hurt. I have a hard time seeing the birds, that is why I dont really like going.
Deer hunting tho, that I do like. I dont know if it is the sitting in the blind relaxing or the actual shooting part I like. Maybe it doesnt matter. I usually get my deer.

I actually don't hunt. Don't like it and despise killing critters, but when Tony comes home with something, I don't mind blood and guts etc. at all....go figure????

Rarely shot a gun but don't get in my way when I have my BB rifle handy. I pump to 10 and shoot dogs in the butt to get them out of the pasture and such..HA HA--I can shoot but don't care to get truly involved with guns. But would if I had to learn more fast!

Tony has about 7 rifles and I can't tell you a lick about them. No interest in guns but he sure loves hunting.

Now fishing, I can relate there. Love it!

You go all you hunting ladies!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been hunting in years but I'm not a bad shot. Really impressed my gun crazy son (who knows all about guns) when I got my concealed weapons permit. I don't carry one but I'm still shopping. Not necessary but want to be able to if I choose to.

I like fishing too. I even bait my own line !
We ice fish on a certain lake here. I was paying no attention to my line (I was filling my face) when I felt this hard tug. I turned back and started reeling in. Lo and behold I had a whopper of a walleye on. I was very excited. I told my husband smugly....."see, if you dont care about wether you catch any fish you will always catch fish"......made sense to me at the time.
I reeled the fish up to and into the hole. As I was pulling the fish out of the hole, he made one last ditch effort to get away. My husband lunges across the iceshanty, thrusts his arm into the hole and grabs the fish. AND every one of barbs on the dorsal fin stuck his hand. He was bleeding badly as he tossed the fish into the corner. We were done for the day. 5 bandages later......

Who caught the fish?

Only hunting I do is shooting squirrels with my sons BB...dang things get up in the attic and everywhere else all winter...so I try to depopulate them before winter comes...but I would love to try moose hunting one of these days

usually it is the one that lands him..HA HA

tried ice fishing one time in NH. Whew, cold adventure and didn't catch anything!

MorelCabin, did you know squirrels are supposed to be good tasting? Let me know
You better be prepared for a lot of processing if you do shoot a moose .
Dont they come into your backyard?
