I am starting this forum to here people's hunting stories. I love to here about things that have happened to people while hunting and their exciting moments. I also would love to here about your hunting camps and any traditions that people might have.

Gun deer hunting season is time away from everything that I get to spend with my Dad and my son - and that they get to spend together.

I've never been successful. My Dad gets a nice deer just about every year and my son got his first two last year, during his third or fourth year of hunting; he was 17.

Regards,
Keith

Just returned from N Dakota waterfowl hunt. Zillions of Snow, Blue, and Richardsons geese there in large flocks hard to decoy. In the dark one morning we sneaked down a receeded shoreline of a mile long lake to hopefully pass shoot a nice adult blue or two to take to the taxidermist. We got where we thought was close enough. Then about 1000 geese swam right up to us not 10 feet to the closest ones. The dog was shaking like crazy but didnt break! But of course as it got light they swam out and got up to fly out to feed. No Blues close enough but we passed up shooting on a hundred or so Richardsons as we had quite a shoot on them the previous day. What a rush for us and the dog!

Hello Flintlock, I have hunted North Dakota many times and shot many Snows, Blues and on my last trip got my first White Front. I shot my first Blue about 15 years ago right here in Wisconsin at KoshKonong and had it mounted. I stopped going to Iowa for Pheasants because they are much easier to hunt in ND. I have also taken Sharpe-Tails and the little Gray birds (Hungarians) in ND.

There are also plenty of Coyotes in ND. On more than one time I wished I was holding my 22-250 instead of my Beneli.

Always Outdoors,
Todd

We havent seen any coyotes where we are but did see a cow moose this year and scads of deer. Hope your hunts have been all enjoyable this year! Will be trying to get a deer with a flintlock 58 this weekend.

I have only seen one Moose in ND and that was up in the Turtle Mountains but was told that they are also east of Munich. On the trip that I saw the Moose I also saw two Pronghorns on the east side of Lake Audubon.

I do my hunting with a camera. I figure there's enough guns in the woods...some with real whackos handling them.
I like hang a towel scented with deer bait on a tree and wait for the wildlife to approach. I had some really great photos, but a hard drive crash wiped them out.
There's more wildlife happening everyday.

Amhurst Juntion, Waupaca County

Scerio: Two driving different parties foraging the swamps. We're divided by the marsh yet connected to the other side by a plank bridge. My party had just began to cross while another hunting party was in route to come over to my end. All of a sudden a 11pointer jumps up onto the middle of the bridge. He litterly is looking to both our parties and I swear that buck was smiling knowing he was in a safe zone. We all were dumbfounded for several minutes. Did ya see the 30 pointer YES I DID! Too bad I had a gun instead of a camera could have shot an awesome picture.
