Hunting holiday - America/Canada somewhere - ideas anyone?
JW_Halverson:
Define climbing for me. Do you mean hiking and scrambling up a mountainside trail or a combination wedge and smear on a 5.11b with serious exposure? >:D
We have some of the finest techie rock climbing in the world here in the Black Hills of South Dakota (think Mount Rushmore), plus plenty of deer and turkey, plus the antelope population is recovering on the prairies. If you really want challenges with your bow we can always go after grouse and pheasant. Out of state hunting licenses are probably less expensive here than most places.

Tennessee or Texas would be my choice, I have always wanted to make a trip to chase some hogs
mikekeswick:
Thanks for the ideas fellas. So 'out east' looks to be the best option. I suppose I would mainly like to shoot deer. From what i've seen it seems like a lot of Americans hunt from tree stands (maybe i'm wrong there?) but I would prefer to try some stalking on the ground.
JW_Halverson - I meant the latter! The more exposure the better! We don't have too much big stuff here, last time I was in America we went to Red Rocks which was really cool...apart from the cactus and running out of water 1000ft up a 2000ft route.... ::)
Pappy:
Ya stalking would be fun, altho not very productive,good luck with that on eastern Turkey or eastern white tail deer. :) :) It sounds very cool to talk about but if you only have a few day and want to actually kill something it isn't the best option at least not in the east. jmo. :)

If you want to spot and stock you should come out west. Those eastern fellers like to sit in a tree like a bird and wait. ;) Spot and stock is almost all I do, and all of the guys I have hunted with are the same way. Our open terrain lends itself well to glassing with binoculars until the deer bed down for the day. Then we plan our attack and start sneaking. If you take your time you can get within 10 feet. I have probably only sat in a blind 2 times in my life and never hunted from a tree.
We have some great climbing here also. I would be happy to take you hunting, then I could dust off my climbing gear and we could hit the rock.
