Hunting

[TCO]

I was just wondering if anyone on here does any hunting? I hunt deer, turkey, prairie dogs and pheasants each year. On saturday I am going Antelope hunting for the first time. I found out Sunday night that I could go so I spent tonight getting my stuff put together. I am going with a few people that my dad works with and that I have hunted with quite a bit. We are leaving at 3 on saturday morning for the 2 1/2 hour drive.

I have a 7X57 Mauser rifle that I use.

Wish me luck

Kind of a newbie to it, but I've been turkey hunting three times and love it. I've shot two birds, the biggest being 24lbs. with an 11" beard and 1" spurs. I went deer hunting one time years ago and shot a 7 point. Didn't really get into it and never went again. Although I have been thinking of going again if I find a decent buy on a rifle.

I inherited my 12 gauge I use for turkey. It was my grandfather's gun. It's a J.C. Higgins pump with a wild looking choke on the end. Looks like a big flash suppressor and a lot of people are like WTF when I get it out. But it shoots a great pattern and has no problem dropping turkey even with a 2-3/4" shell. I use turkey loads with 4 shot.

Edit: Here's the my old J.C. Higgins.

I hunt duck, goose, deer, rabbit, and some pheasant. I use a benelli super nova for deer and bird hunting, i also have a winchester defender for a pushing gun for deer because of its light weight. If you think your higgins looks goofy you should seen my defender it has an extremely short barrel with an 8 shot tube ending flush with it and it sounds like a cannon when fired.

I hunt small game, like Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, etc. Not very tasty, but very fun to kill.

They are very tasty if you put enough rice on them

Most usually have enough rice.

I also have a Remington 870 Express Super Mag that I use for a turkey and pheasant gun. I have a Ruger 10/22 and that is a fun little gun.

Oh man you guys are killin me, I haven't been able to hunt for the last couple of years due to being stationed here in Texas. I miss deer hunting back at home......the cold......the snow......the quiet......hunting buddies......hunting stories. I miss the whole package!!

My Marlin 3030 is the perfect deer rifle. :th_thumbsup-wink:

I stoped hunting when someone bought the land I used to hunt on and turned it into a zoo (literally).

Big hunter here. I hunt anything from squirrels to deer bear turkey and everything in between. Its nice when you make friends in a small country town and they have unhunted farmland. I use my Ruger 10/22 for small game, my 870 express super mag for turkey ducks geese and deer and my T/C encore for just about everything.

I hunt for the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer.
