well since im on here all the time and hunt alot so i thought i should start me up a journal... so here goes..

I had a pretty succesfull deer season this year in Oklahoma.. I killed three, two with my bow and one with my t/c encore 30-06. The two bow kills were does and the rifle was a decent eight point that had a bad case of ground shrinkage. The first doe i got was on public land in western okla. Every year i go on a hunting trip with some guys i used to work with and we ended up getting three does and a wild pig.

Heres the doe where she died, i shot her at about 5 yards with my Mathews switchback

The second deer was the buck that i killed in the panhandle of oklahoma, the first morning we seen 17 bucks and i dont know how many does. I got this 140 lb 8pt on the second morning at 200 yards.

The last deer i shot i killed out of my ground blind wich was a first for me. I hunted a place that i had been seeing alot of deer coming to a wheat field. I set the blind up twords the field expecting them to come from the field goin back to the bed, but as hunting goes, she came from the bed goin to the field.. so my blinds windows are not gonna allow me to shoot her where she was at. So she goes back around behind me, and man is she determined to get to that field.. So i had the back door on the blind zippered about 4 inches down so i could watch the back door. and she came through a hole in the cedars that offered me a good shot and i let it fly and smoked her. She didnt run 50 yards. I didnt get a pic of her cause i took her to the processer on the way home.. so theres my deer season in a few words and it was a pretty good one.. now i'll tell ya about some duck huntin..

Now for the ducks...

My uncle and I have been toying with the idea of duck huntin on a local river near us.. there realy wasnt many ducks on there so we decided to give it a try anyway. and my god the ducks showed up. We killed our limit on the first day an went back the next weekend and did it again. Then the ice came, this big arctic blast came through and froze everything but this flooded timber pond by the river. The only reason that it was unfroze was the ducks, this pond was about 50 yards by 75 yards big and we came up to it in the morning and prolly 350 ducks got off of it.. we found the roost.. we killed 13 that morning between the 3 of us... The next weeked I took 2 of my friends and we hit the river first and killed 6 then went to the pond and had groups of 20 mallards and gads dive bombing us and landing in our spread giving us about a 10 yard chip shot. we had our 3 man limit easily in about 25 minutes.
Now we are looking for the geese that are usually on our places. I'll keep ya posted..

This weekends hunting was well , i didnt hunt this weekend at all, and it sucked! Had inventory at work friday till 3am and slept alot on saturday an then went to look for a washer and dryer with my wife. Today we bought one and was busy putting them in and doing other things.. but my dad did her out and killed a yote on our black coyote place... he shot it at 320 steps after he missed the first shot. Lucky shot i take it.. haha.. oh yea, i bought a verminator predator call the other day, i got the syco tweety call and holy cow that call is awesome. I cant wait to call a cat or yote up.. see ya'll later

Did some waterfowl and predator hunting yesterday, and did some good to.. I called a friend of mine and asked him if he wanted to go predator hunting with me and he said he was goin goose hunting and wanted me to tag along, and where i heard he was going i couldnt pass this offer up. I drove by that field thursday and there was at least 1500 geese on it. Well to make a long story short, we had to many geese coming in at once and they didnt like what they seen, and we only got 8 out of 6 guys, but it was fun. Then i went coyote hunting after that and called up a coon , and on my way to my next stand I shot a big male yote. I made a good shot on him at 100 yards off handed.. Well i better get off of here and go watch the game.. LATER

hey, havent been on here in a while, my 08 deer season was ok, I had alot of close calls with some 120's and one giant split brow buck. I ended up shooting a nice 8 point the last day of season, and shot a doe on the 7th of January with my bow.

Been after the hogs now and prolly will be till turkey hunting season, I shot a boar last week that was huge , but i was a little undergunned with my .22-250, and i never found him.. I also seen a group of hogs out in broad daylight on a place that I didnt have permisson to hunt, well i got permission and went back with dogs and never got on any of them...

I dunno what it is about pig hunting on this forum. Their used to be a hog hunting section , but it dissapeard, after the thread about the youtube video talking about hog hunting w/dogs being ethical, it went away, well those idiots that posted that on youtube are doing nothing but ruining hunting in general, normal cases a bulldog is never on a pig longer than a minute.. i'll tell you one thing if you guys that dont like hunting with dogs, i'll ship you some pigs up to where you hunt and see how fast you can get rid of them. You'll see your deer herd in those areas decline as we have.. We just live in Oklahoma, Imagine what its like in texas, where they have a million hogs down there.. this is just my opinon take it for what it's worth..
