What are you hunting this year?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Don W:
I built a custom 30-06 from a Mauser action around '96. I have rifle hunted with it for whitetail ever since. Last year I added self bow to the archery season. I tend to like to build things. This year it'll be the rifle I built, the bow I built with the arrows I built along with the quiver I built. I know this is a common scenario here, but it's a step up for me.

Morgan:
Gonna try to get on some pigs when it cools off a bit.  Probably be toting an eastern woodlands inspired elm or hackberry D bow.

Piddler:
Come October Whitetail as usual. This year it will be with a selfbow and not the wheelie one. Taken lots of animals with wheels but the time has come too move on. Still need to get the broadheads sorted out. Could use a little more arrow sorting as well. Time is getting short when you think about it.

Velvet season in Arizona. hunted mulie deer; did a long day sit by water in the monsoonal jungle ( insane chest high grasses where it was totally bare last year!) of the border lands. However, felt "exposed", given the lack of Border patrol presence.

Next day, hunted whitetail in the mtns, foothills, saw a large black bear.

Will focus on coues whitetail.....not "trophy hunting" this year...been too long since a bow harvest

boxerboxer:
I'll be hunting whitetail until I get at least one with a bow. I'm still shooting a takedown bow of the material that must not be named, 46# @ 29.5". Arrows are about 640gr, 2117s 5" 3 fletch with 100gr adapters and zwickey deltas up front. I've got a few selfbows in the works, including a red oak board flatbow and an ash bow design TBD, and if they get done in time I'll take one or both out as well.

I'll buy a rifle deer tag because of a good friend I enjoy hunting with that doesn't shoot a bow (YET!).

If I can kill a deer early season (and maybe here and there when I only have a short time to go out) I may go look for some pheasant, rabbit, squirrel, most likely with my trusty 1187, although if I can finish my son's bow up with enough time left in the season I will take him bowhunting for rabbit/squirrel. I may also buy a waterfowl tag as I have yet to take any and love eating them, especially duck.

There are raccoons at one of my deer spots, and while I won't pursue them deliberately I would gladly take one from the deer stand if the opportunity arises. I will also do some coyote calling once deer season is over (or if I fill a couple tags early) as I'd love to take one with my bow.

I had hoped to do some combination of western ND deer, MT bear, or WY antelope this year, but my wife's anxiety has reached the point where I can't get too much more than a half hour from home before she has a panic attack, so my hunting has to be pretty close to home for the forseable future.
