Deer season is winding down across the country. What do you have your sights on next?

Me: hogs, small game, spring bear.

I will be staring into a 2'x2' hole in the ice with a spear in my hand trying to deke a big pike in close.

And perhaps some 'yote hunting if we ever get some snow.


Rod, too.

I will be hunting squirrels, crows and various varmits that frequent the pecan orchard behind our house. Squirrels are considered pest in our little town and you are allowed to hunt them all year. Mostly I will tatget practice with different reloads. I'm working on one of my blackhawks in 41 mag, I'm drilling and tapping for a weigand base, I should have it ready in a few days. Still sore from the heart procedure I had last week, but I should be good to go in about a week. Have a great new year. Lonnie

Predators, which will include coyote,fox and bobcat. Using a bait set up. Many hunters will take a five gallon pail or food bucket and fill it one third of the way with meat scraps and bones. Then fill it with water and allow it to freeze. The meat cycle is then set out with a trail camera and you then pick the best time to hunt.

Hopefully I will be hunting hogs in Texas in the Mar. - April time frame.

Plan on killing more targets this year.

My son and I are going squirrel hunting tomorrow. I'm gonna use my Ruger Single Six topped with a Leupold 4x on them. Never shot a squirrel with it yet but I'm gonna give it a try.

I'm supposed to chase coyotes with 430rupe next month and if I have anytime after that to hunt it will be for coyotes and cougars until spring bear season.

James.........where at?

As for me......hoping to do some archery hunting for deer if the weather cooperates. Spent yesterday stomping around for grouse and bunnies....my friend got a few shots, I held off since they were not quality chances. Also going to hit some pheasant areas next week.

I broke in my new 454 Casull on an 8 pt. during the rifle season. I'll try to post a picture after I get the skull cleaned up. I'm already looking for some hogs, but no luck yet. Going to keep trying.

SWINE time!

Other than handgunning, ducks are on the docket until late January, followed by turkeys in the Spring.

Trying to make it to Texas for a Oryx hunt, and then, spring bear/fishing in S.E. Alaska.


Don't confuse shooting with hunting.

COYOTES!

I shot this coyote with my T/C .223 and "fur load" (50 gr. Hornady SX) this morning from a bait pile. A nice tiny .223 hole in and no exit.

Sorry to hear that, I know your not alone on the site or in general but hopefully things will eventually turn around. Good luck in your efforts as that is more important than any critter.

Hog hunt in March. Stretching the moolah a bit for me at this time but an early bout with cabin fever made me go for it.

We have roughly 35 hunters on the list for the hunt this year.

Good hunting, good friends, good food. This will be year number 4 or 5, I think, for us and the fun part is that most of us met each other through another gun/ hunting website.

We come from various backgrounds and from all over the country.

One guy drives up from Texas just to cook for us at our nightly party/liar feast.

Squirrel, of course, till end of February. Turkey, come middle of march, and I'm probably going on a pheasant hunt sometime or another.

When I ever get my 475/350 Mag barrel, I'm going to test some 400 gr. RN bullets on what I've been told is around an 800 pound feral boar. Let's see what a 475 set up in a single shot can do, I bet it's gonna kick like a MULE!

Got a couple of jackrabbits with the 1911 so far. Might try it on a coyote if they come in close enough.
