One thing I hate!

[kahuna]

This is my favorite time of the year. Football is back, NASCAR is heating up for the championship, and, of course hunting. But when bow season starts, I just never have time for one other thing that I really love...grouse hunting. There are times when I scout a new area, I will carry a shotgun and "kill two birds with one stone". However, I am reluctant to do this, because I may find a great area, and don't want to be blasting the deer right out of the area. The only salvation is if I stick one early, then I would have time to hunt some "thunderchickens".

I understand what you are talking about,, I shut down the hog traps, shoot a little dove when I can,, Icant push the hunting thing too much with bow season starting Oct1st.. I get the questions like dont you like being at home with us,, dont you have time for your family,,I could say a bunch of stuff like that I have heard.. Hogs are pretty much a year round thing, She knows that. But I want to dove hunt I want to squirrel hunt I want to fish , I want to hoghunt and deerhunt all the time.There just isnt enough time in the day for all of it.. Choices,,what a decision? I guys I will just put up with the griping and try to butter up with the stuff I read in the romance novels.. LOL Tim

if i go with my friends it is a problem but if i take a kid or 2 im fine.but it is a fine line between me time and getting the kids involved

Well I havent always had problems,, we got Lauren last year and she was young enough she didnt really care ,This year is different she has her camo and wants to go already,, She sees me changing she starts changing and saying to mom I go with daddy huntin..I can do this with the dove its no big deal,, bowseason is gonna be tough,she only 2-1/2 and she doesnt care if its hot ,cold, bugs,, she just wants to be doing whaqt I am doing.. Now with mom being pregnant its a blessing for Lauren to go with me.. We shall see how bad it gets,, Jennifer knows deep down I love her and she doesnt ever give me a choice or anything like that ,,she just getsboard sitting at home all day with a baby.. I damn well know she aint cleaning the house :PLOL Tim

That's cute Tim, sounds like she's really turning into a Daddy's girl! And Kahuna, I'm about the same way, I love grouse hunting, got a bird dog & I spend most of my time on Deer & Waterfowl, but at least the dog gets to go on the waterfowl hunts. Grouse are fewer & further between down here, if I lived in WI, where you've got a lot more & your season starts early... I'd be pretty hard pressed not to be out pursuing those Thunderchickens!

i,ve only seen one grouse killed.me and a bud were rabbit hunting and something light colored took off thru some briars and he shot.turned out to be a grouse and luckily in season.well it was in some nasty,thick stuff so i had to inch forward into the briars on my belly to get it about 20 feet in.i didnt know it was a grouse until i got up on it and it was still alive.i grabbed it and snapped it,s neck and that was not good.it started flipping its wings and body violently right in my face.because of the briars i couldnt even block my face with my hands.but that thing was tasty
