well here in nc deer just ended and most(if not all) other seasons along with it

i got a few doves and a few quail my first 2 deer one small doe and one 120ish lbs doe

did my first bear hunt but came up empty handed still alot of fun though


so guys how was your 2007 hunting season?

anyone still got open seasons?
 
in the uk i took 6 roe bucks, a couple of muntjac does. some foxes, a dozen or so ducks and a dozen of other odds and sods. I have had a really quiet year as i had an ankle op early in the year and still am having problems with it.

So far 3deer and 11 squirrels. Still have a month on deer and 2 months for squirrels.
 
I think we have open season til saturday, then a bit more for antlerless. I took a 6 point on opening day, saving the does to see if they draw in some bigger bucks for my brother (I'm not really a horn hunter, i just like the venison).

My son got to go dove hunting for the first time this year, so that was pretty cool. We didn't get a good shot on a deer when he went with me, they were coming in after dark but did see a nice 8 pointer that just wouldn't come on our side of the fence.
 
Killed very little. A few ducks is all. Should have had a nice blacktail, but I blew it. Alway this year.
 
season closed on the 31st. Only one 8 pt buck with my bow this year...but waterfowl season is in full swing :)
 
One small buck with the bow, and four does with the rifle. Our bow season is open until the 15th so the total may change, plus I'll be heading to texas later this month for whitetail,axis, and sambar deer.
 
Shot a button buck during early season, and a doe later. Now I have two buck stickers for next year, and can go back to the, "If it's brown it's down philosophy."
 
I got all 6 of my deer tags filled, 4 rabbits, a couple squirrels with my grandaddy's newly refinished .22( my personal highlight), also a couple of the deer with my new savage muzzleloader(one at 187yds). The .270 got its first long shot at 325 yds. Next year gonna have to try handgun hunting again with the 44(missed one this year).
 
son and I, zero on deer hunting, bow and gun just one of those years and a new place we hunted so a little harder and not as much acreage, ice fishing starting up, bought a new grafite pole, need to get out and try it, maybe today:)
 
Broke my back the second Saturday of bow season (tree stand fall). Had a seven hour surgery and spent a week in the hospital. Six weeks later back in the woods with a .243 and 12 ga. Five weeks after that took a small doe. Only thing I saw to shoot at. But hey, at least I'm walking and shooting :D.

Went squirrel hunting this past Saturday. No squirrels to be found, but saw two deer. Figures.
 
Sorry about your accident rantingredneck . Just glad you are here to talk about it. I filled my 6 deer tags with a nine point and 5 does. Had some good deer roast for supper tonight and man I tell you it was good.
 
I shot a buck it would have been a 10 point but the 1 side must have broke off in a fight so it was only a 5-1 pointer:(
I shot about 10 squirls and lots off pest birds:D

Done a bit of good waterfowl hunting as usual, only 6 trips, but that was enough I guess. Several limits of dove early. No deer, still have some time. Main thing, my friend's son got his first on my place several weeks back, a spike. I've gotte 3 hogs, though, and am out for more since there is no season on 'em. Got some of my buddy's kid's deer in the freezer and it's pretty full, only a small 5 sq ft freezer. I don't know if there's room for a whole deer in there, LOL, maybe if I take the basket out of the top I think there is. I have a friend that will take anything I can't find room for if I shoot one, anyway.

So, I'm happy with the way the season went even though I haven't shot a deer this year, so far. I don't have a problem with the meat I have in my freezer and there are more hogs out there, LOTS more hogs. They eat better'n venison anyway IMHO.
 
Doing much better thanks. I'm not quite 100% yet but I'd say I'm easily 90% recovered. I go back to the surgeon later this month for a checkup. He'll follow me through Sept. of this year.

If you want the full story with all the gory details read this.

Wear a harness!!!!
 
redneck: Glad to hear that your back in the field. I know that by following your accident I will certainly be more carefull in the future. Thanks for sharing. God Bless
 
I didn't get a chance to get out for deer this year but I do have some pheasants and chukar in the freezer. Working at various clay games during the off season made me score 100% at whatever I shot at this year -- not necessarily always on the first shot though.:eek: And then I pick my shots as well. My father taught me to never waste a shell just to make them fly faster.
 
Only got to hit the woods a few time this year. Mostly with my grandson which was fun. I ended up only getting couple of feral boar hogs out of the general populus. The grandson missed a 4 point buck during the youth weekend, then followed up a couple of weekends later with his first yote,

The weekend after Thanksgiving he dropped his second feral boar which we didn't have the camera for.

This past closing weekend the daughter got out for her third or fourth time all season and managed to drop a decent little buck for our farm,

All in all the times I got out with the grandson as well as the once or twice I managed to head out alone were very rewarding. Getting to screw with the daughter and teach the grandson are to me as much fun as anything else. I got some video of a buck we saw last year, which has put on some nice head gear but just wasn't ready to be removed. It was still exciting to have him come in on me to within several yards while in full rut chasing does.
 
I went out on my first deer hunt this past Sunday... it was the very last day of Extended Antlerless Season...

All day in the stand/blind... looking over some winter wheat, with a large section of dense woods across the field from me... Nothing comes out.

Sunset is about 6:00pm... I kept waiting, hoping to use the new rifle my wife bought me for Christmas.... at 5:50... I look and 2 does are suddenly standing at the end of the field... I can't shoot, as there are some branches in the way... they begin to come right at me... at 5:55pm they are about 40 yds from me.... I aim my new gun, new scope....BANG!!!!!! 1 shot one kill. The doe wasn't real big... But WOW!!! one of the most amazing expierences of my life... I am soooooo hooked.

Because firearms Deer season isn't open again until Nov/Dec. 2008... I am now planning to hunt Turkey in the spring, and may get a compound bow for the Turkey, and an Oct.1 start on Deer.

No wonder you guys love it!!!! Duh!!!! :D:D:D
