Where do you hunt, and what equipment do you use?

[treedude]

I hunt in Illinois.

Bow (Deer):
PSE Maurder (72# +) with 4" overdraw
27" 2117 Easton shafts with FEATHERS
Cheap-O Wal-Mart expandable broadheads
(still blow through almost any deer, at half the price!)

I use an adjustable grunt call set to sound like a doe/young buck, and have removed the tube (this makes it sound more like a deer to me). I also cup my hand around the open end when calling, to shunt the end of the call (like a doe when she's lost:
"Eaaarrrrrmm") - my last bowkill came to that call.

I have a set of sheds to rattle with, but have never used them successfully (yet).

I sit on a bucket with a pad (nothing fancy).

When possible I hunt from a homemade ladder stand chained securely to a tree (several locations to choose from). These are 10-12 feet tall, and do the trick just fine.

Shotgun (Deer):
Mossberg 12 guage pump (again, nothing fancy)
$2.50/box rifled slugs, usually Winchester
(no need for pin-point accuracy out to 100 yds, as most deer die at ranges suitable for bowhunting).

Pistol (Deer):
Scoped S&W .357 with special handloads and 7" barrel.
(actually my wife's firearm that I borrow once a year).

Gun (Turkey):
(Same shotgun as above)
Winchester Turkey loads (#4 shot - high brass)
Feather flex decoys (hen and jake).
I don't have much in the way of turkey calls yet.
(still too new to turkey hunting, and poor, to have too many toys).
I hug the ground for turkeys.

I hunt in WV! I belong to the Run and Gun Hunt Club which has 8,000 acres leased in Fayette County, WV. The property is only about 10 minutes from my home in Fayetteville.

I also hunt in Greenbrier Co, WV, the week of buck only season in the Monongahela National Forest. The area I hunt is just outside of an area called Neola, WV. We have a camp at Neola with my father in laws camper and my camper. I hunt the Lake Sherwood area of the National Forest which borders Virginia.

I hunt with bow, rifle, muzzleloader and shotgun. I am thinking about doing some pistol hunting for deer this year with my Ruger Blackhawk in 357 mag.

I also reload my own rifle and pistol ammo and just getting into reloading my own shotgun ammo. I reload because of the statisfaction I get from taking game with my own loaded ammo. Nothing like that feeling.

[bamabandit]

well i hunt here in alabama.

I mainly bowhunt but do go with a rifle on occasions if its needed.

Rifle: ruger m77 7mm mag with a bushnell 4.5x12x40 scope throwing a 150 nosler balistic tip. Does some serious damage thats for sure and don't go far if they even move at all.

Bow: Hoyt Mt sport 69# 28.5" draw ics 400s with 2 white 1 chartruse vanes tipped with either Montec 100s, stinger 4blade 100s or spitfire 100s depending which i pull out of my quiver on any given hunt. They all work for me. Trophy Ridge 4pin site (love it) and a trufire release and string leaches. Have been using this set up for 4 years now and have had great success with it, shoots strait hits hard and is very quiet (lead to a double last year on opening day of bow season).

Turkeys when i get to go is my mossberg 835

ducks and dove, beretta al3901 with a patternmaster choke in it.
