View Full Version : Do any of you guys hunt?
DaveHawk 05-02-05, 03:23 PM I'm 51 and have been a hunter sence the age of 9. I think that being able to hyper focus gave me a hugh advantage over many of my friends in shooting. Putting all my energy into the shot placement {Bow} has made me very successfull at the sport. But when your my age it's more a way of life. I don't by meat , I usualy fill the freezer enough to make it through the year for my family and a few others also.
I like to hunt more than I like to kill. I am easier with small game killing but large game I often prefer the hunt to the kill. I treat it much like I treat photography in that I compose many more pictures than I take.
I too have an advantage in accuracy due to good eye hand coordination and hyper focus.
Cheers! Ian.
motorbrain 05-02-05, 04:33 PM Yup,
When not hyperfocused the ability to manage a billion situational elements like wind direction, water conditions really pay off when scouting or in the blind. I have some friends that rely on my scouting over the course of a season - they just don't see the same patterns as I do.
Of course it's a bit strange to ramp up to hyperfocus when you see the bird coming in from a distance - as opposed to a few minutes later when a flock of teal pop over the tules and the hyperfocus flicks on like a light.
I'm a waterfowler. I know what you mean by way of life. There is nothing I'd rather do than be out hunting. For some guys it's fishing for other guys it's cars.
This being the off season there isn't a whole lot to do other than practice on clays and think about flying to Argentina to catch a week of their season. In other words I'm going nuts with cabin fever and am going to take up boar hunting to ease my mind.
That's an interesting question. I haven't actually been hunting since I was a kid. But I had an archery set...and practiced all the time. I also had my own guns, started with a four ten, went to a 22, and graduated to a 30/6.
I have no desire whatsoever to go hunting. But gutting and cleaning, doesn't bother me. And there have been occassions where I ended up finishing off someone else's accidentals. Being, it was more humane to kill.
If we still chased our food for a living, I have a feeling I'd been pretty darn good at it.
DaveHawk 05-03-05, 07:47 AM Ian, Motorbrain, FINILY ! Someone understand hyperfocing and hunting LOL, I get so involved in the hunt {deer} that I find myself toying with the deer many times insted of shooting them , I mainly bow hunt and I do take 16 to 25 deer a year, We have so many deer that we need to remove a few LOL.
> we gooses hunt here quite a bit but right now Turkey season is in and these birds take up allot of time. Thay are much more taxing than deer could ever be unless you a studing a hugh buck thats worse. But hunting is a great release for me.
>when I got married I slacked off from my art work, I started up my own busness and took up hunting again. I told my new wife that if I persuded my artistic abilities I dought we would remain marry very long. Hunting took less time and reguired more engery than Art which and it quenched that raddical spirit I had deep inside me for adventure. I did get some of the same satifiction from art but mainly with I traveled to paint.
Slippy, get you head out of the toilit ! LOL I hope this helps fill a void if there is one. Sometimes it only takes a spark.
AutopilotOFF 05-03-05, 08:16 AM I love going to the shooting range, but for the most part I cannot stand hunting. I just can't sit still anywhere near long enough to be an effective hunter.
DaveHawk 05-03-05, 09:40 AM Auto, It's not about the kill, even though I do a good share of it. The Med's Stra realy helped me when the sitting time when it seems to be more than I could handle some days. What hunting is about , ; Scouting, 95%
>learning about the different game out there.
>making allot of new frineds and sharing a camp with them.
>For me these days it's TEACHING my son's and their friends.
>Going to the different shows and getting aquanted with the various tools used for hunting. You have bow season, gun season; shot gun and rifle. Mussle Loader season; Black powder. This season is by far the most interisting of them all to me.!st their is the Flint Lock. Learning this gun takes time and practice . Then the percussion and also the modren Black Powder gun called In-lines; these guns a very accurate out to 200 yards and take allot of the fun out of black powder shooting but hey, to each their own.
>Killing I have always told my son's I have had better days just watching the deer than shooting them. It's time to work once the kill is made. And sometimes it can take up allot of time.
I like almost anything that commands that I use everything I have to offer as far as attention. Although I struggle with math, I can really groove on trigonometry if I need to.
I used to do a lot of street racing, first with cars then with bikes. People often were surprised to find me on their tails when I was on lesser equipment.
I did not fall into watch and clock making by accident as it turns out. Like hunting, it takes everything I have, to perform and there is room in those tasks for me to use up all the abundance of attention. Ironic that the common perception seems to be that my attention is in deficit.
I was taught to hunt as an adult by an old fella next door. He's now 75 or so and can still shinny up a tree like nobodies business. He was raised in a sod hut close to here. He lives off the land mostly. He's taken 40 moose or so and untold deer. He's a sharp as a tack. We have him over every Christmas morning to share a meal. I live in awe of his gentle nature. He taught me many things but mostly he taught me to kill with reverence. Consequently I don't kill often at all. He's a true country gentleman that believes in clean kills, being preferred over all else.
I'm seldom at peace with myself enough to remain steady enough to accept a killing with an open and empathetic heart. I'm an artist in my soul but I like to eat meat. I felt I needed to come to terms with that need for meat in a more honest way and now I have, but killing is not the thrill. Hunting is the thrill and like Hawk, I prefer to play with deer and think about how I am with them.
Has anyone read anything of Monty Roberts and how he works with wild deer? His biography is pretty dang good. He's a horseman but took that wisdom out to wild deer. It's pretty cool reading.
Cheers!
Cheers!
DaveHawk 05-03-05, 11:14 AM Ian, Like you being an artist, I didn't hunt after the service for a few years while I was in college for art. It was something I needed to deal with also.
>Ian, do you have more information on this Roberts? I would like to read what your talking about. Sounds very interisting.
http://www.montyroberts.com/
http://shorterlink.org/227
The book is called "The Man Who Listens to Horses" - Monty Roberts. ISBN 0-676-97128-8 is the paperback I have.
The title sounds so flaky, but the content won me over. I almost didn't read this because of the tiltle. I'm so glad I did now. The story works on it's own as it documents a boy that had a pretty intense up bringing and not all of it pretty. It also evolves into a very interesting look at animals. He's pushed the envelope by a fair margin and has some pretty high brow supporters now.
You should be able to pick up the book used on line for next to nothing. Whatever you pay, I'd be willing to bet it wouldn't be too much for what you get.
I've worked with horses and dogs.
Cheers! Ian.
capt kylos 05-03-05, 11:47 AM I like small game mostly ( ducks, phesants, quail, grouse and rabbit), big game hunting did'nt have enough action for me but my boredom tolerance is zero so that may be why I feel that way. There is nothing like a good piece of elk or moose though. Capt Kylos
Albino Fox 05-03-05, 03:14 PM ADD people are indeed described, at times, as being hunters as opposed to farmers (http://www.sdc.org/%7Epwolf/addpost.html). You should really check out that link if you haven't heard of the analogy, although I wouldn't agree with any implications it may make (note "may", as I'm not sure what he implies) that drugs are needed.
However, for the record, my interest in this analogy and belief that I might pick the skill up well are the only reasons I ever refer to myself as a "hunter". My cousins hunt, but I haven't really tried it yet.
DaveHawk 05-03-05, 03:22 PM I think the reasoning behind this is, Farmers can wait for their food to grow and can work through the process of growing it. Hunters have no patience to wait and have to eat when their hungery, therefore , the hunter.

oh, but DaveHawk, there are critter's in that there toilet. n' sLiPpY's hunting! :D
DaveHawk 05-04-05, 01:57 PM LOL, I think I would rather be up to my arm pits in a gut pilt than have my head in a toilet. But to each their own. It all reaks !
Hunting is one of my passions. Especially upland bird, quail, pheasant, etc. Where I get out and walk for miles having all my senses tuned into them, listening for the calls, the movement in the brush, the sudden noise of the flush. Dang now I wish it was fall. All in all I love most outdoor activities except fishing. Never could get into fishing. Didn't have the patience for it, sitting in a boat or on the shore just waiting.
motorbrain 05-07-05, 06:21 AM I have to admit that I've toyed with game myself. Not in terms of kill but in coup.
Sometimes I just want to see if my calling can make ducks swing around and land in the dekes. Sometimes I just pull up and would rather watch the bird than fire.
We're fortunate that we won't go hungry if we don't shoot.
Great to hear from others that love to hunt as well!
DaveHawk 05-09-05, 02:32 PM I posted on a forum myself and John Peterson are Mod's on. I just returned from Buffalo Ny this afternoon.
.1st I want to thank John for a great time. He and his his wife Missy were great hosts and I couldn't have asked for a better guy to hunt with.
>1st day there JP and I saw a big Tom in a field and decided to leave him alone and go in cold. Walking in on the morning of my 1st hunt with John I see the Tom in a tree over the trail we backed out and got in position. The Tom droped down about 65 yards out and boy did he GOBBLR and put on a show. He heard his hen yelping and left me at about 55 yards with no shot we decided to check out another place but nothing the 1st day.
>2nd day we couldn't locate a bird at 1st light and moved to a different location at this place we get onto 2 Tom Gobbling grazy, we set up and they covered about 300 yards to get to us. When the 1st one can in he saw the deck and bolted the 2nd and much larger bird came in behind him giving me about a 2 second time frame to shoot, but I wanted a little closer shot. The hole was small and if'e at best. Hunt is over
>3rd morning we head back to the same location and have birds GOBBLING but the bird pitvhed down and was shot by how knows who and we had no idea anyone else was in the area. We then went to other locations heard birds but nothing came in I could get a shot on.
>This morning we hunted and when we were setting up I saw a bird get spooked and pitch down early, I walked back to John and told him. He didn't see the bird pitch and our sail were deflated but then a GOBBLY and I quickly went back to sit. For about 30 min's he gobbled at everything JP throught at him. At the same time I am watching 2 hens sitting on branches about 60 yars from me. The hens pitched down and then the Tom pitched down, it looked as if he was coming our way but he had his eyes on the hens and started off in there dirrection I finily took a shot but it was a good 50 yards and nothing. JP was wondering why I shot so early and couldn't see the hens or the seniero of what happened. That Tom had hens on his mind and not a yelp of a call.
>JP is a hard worker when it comes to helping a tenderfoot as myself get on birds and I had a great time and allot of learning experances. Between Hat and JP I can't think of 2 Hunters I would rather learn from.
>I hope to get back up there the last weekend of the month for a finial HAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR ! of the season.

adhdxyz 05-09-05, 09:29 PM I am adhd and my husband in add. He is into old cars, Harleys, four wheeling, fishing and hunting.
He has the attention span of a gnat on most things but he is able to sit for hours and hours fishing or sitting in a deer stand. I am really glad that he enjoys these things.
My 12 year old son is adhd (hyper off the chart) plus he's ocd and has mood disorders. He takes several medications daily such as Metadate, Respirdal, Zoloft and Clonidine. As he is getting older, he is getting more tolerable (and I am pretty sure we have decided to keep him.) :)
I have a question for you add/adhd hunters.
At what age does an adhd (off the chart) boy learn how to hunt?
I am kind of afraid that even when he is 16 (or 18, or 50), he is so impulsive, that he might shoot someone even when he didn't mean to. I would never want him to have to live the rest of his life worried and upset because of something he may have done with a gun. The thought of this is horrible.
I don't even like my husband to have guns due to my son. He isn't dangerous by any means but he is the inquisitive type. The guns are put up and the amo is not accessible. (I don't think.)
My husband is not a diehard hunter but he does go deer and turkey hunting every year. He shares his stories with my son and explains how guns are dangerous and you have to take classes before you are ever allowed to get a hunting license.
Should we stick to fishing and not to the hunting due to his adhd (not add)? Or just play it by ear and see how he is a few years from now?

Only you know if your son can handle it.
He will have to take classes to get a license. If he can pass the test to get it he will be safe enough to hunt and will understand the importance of muzzle control and all the safety issues that are involved. However, kids with mood disorders can find themselves feeling very hopeless. Not such a great combo with guns...
Personally I would let him take the hunting classes and allow him to go along with your husband. Just make sure that the guns are safely put away when they are not out in the field.
Hunting can be a great motivator and the most memorable bonding experience that kids can have with their parents. You should try it as well - we need more women hunters out there.
Good luck with your decision.

adhdxyz 05-10-05, 08:08 AM Thanks for your imput regarding my 12 year old son hunting.
The mood disorder diagnosis was the part that had me concerned too. Plus, with his being adhd/hyper, I do not think he would be able to sit quietly like his add father.
I have a girlfriend who has always hunted with her husband, son and brothers. My husband went with them two years ago and she was the only one that got a deer.
As far as "me" hunting??? I also have adhd, can't sit still very long, don't like having a cold nose, cold feet, cold ears, or being wet or snow or or or. I think I'll pass.
Plus, I searched far and wide for a bearded, long haired, ponytailed guy (saves on hair cut money), that was also a car repair/home fixer upper guy, that only wore jeans, tshirts and flannels (so I didn't have to iron or take his suits to the cleaners) and the most important feature was that he had to be a hunter (so that he'd leave during deer season and I could have fun with my sisters!!) He still fits my criteria 15 years later :)
Happy Hunting.
DaveHawk 05-10-05, 09:18 AM I have 3 son's each one started in their own time. Oddly the one with ADHD is my most enthusatic hunter. They each went through the safty course's and have handled a gun at an early age. although we mostly bow hunt, I want them to be aquanted with guns. I think all boys have an interist with guns and should know how to use one.
>You will know when they are ready. Responability will show in them. I have found out that a boy who hunts is far less greater to be involved with riff raff and other things that bring them down in life.
Used to love it. Stand-hunting for deer, which is about the only way to be successful in the thick brush, bores me to tears (I don't consider shooting deer over corn or other bait to be hunting, BTW).
I've recently gotten very interesting in making primitive bows, which has rekindled my hunting interest. I'll likely plant a wheat field for dove this season (North TX ADD guys or gals, pm if intersted, maybe we could hold and ADD dove hunt, LOL)
Quail hunting behind a good dog is as good as life gets. Calling spring turkey is mucho fun as well, but I refuse to be tied to a "blind" or stand any longer, too boring!
DaveHawk 05-20-05, 06:07 PM Oldad, when your hunting in an area that has 280 to 350 deer per square mile, stand hunting is not boreing at all, LOL, We see on avg, 25 to 50 deer a sitting. I have become very good at useing the moon fase to determan my hunting hours, every time out I can shoot a deer but that would be to much work. Last year I took 24 deer, I know , that way to many but I promote QDM and most of the meat goes to the needy or homeless. Plus family members, Most of my kills are yearlings or doe's with a occasional nice buck , 1 or 2 a season.
I love bird hunting, Have you ever taken a Eastren Tom? Our season is over Monday the 23rd. So I will head back up to NY for a finial hunt the end of the month.
I sure wish I could take you up on a Quail hunt, we don't see many of them any more. But long agao I hunted them every weekend.
Last year I took 24 deer, I know , that way to many but I promote QDM and most of the meat goes to the needy or homeless. .
Holy Cow (or deer?). Where are you Dave, the Carolinas? I have relatives in SC and I think they have 1 and 2 deer per day limits some places. Of course, a lot of them don't even bother buying a license!!
Hey, do me a favor, save the tendons out of the lower legs of all those deer next season. Dry them in the sun and I'll pay to have them shipped to me. They'e loaded with sinew and make the best backing for primitive bows. I'll make you a nice bow in return.
Never taken an eastern gobbler, they've all been Rio Grandes. It's a shame I'm in the city limits, there's a large flock in the river bottoms near my home, I've had them in my front yard.
Well, dunno if I'll be able to do the dove hunt this fall, looks like wife #2 is at then end of another job. She's past the 2-year mark of very unsteady employment, so it's about time to get the house on the market.
We've been married 3 years and I'm starting to wonder if she's capable of keeping a decent job, though she's got a master's degree (and student the loan debt to prove it). I may be a flake with ADD, but I'm a paragon of responsibility compared to the women in my life.
We've got a 2-year-old son together. It breaks my heart to think of ending another marrige with children (daughter by first wife graduates HS tomorrow).
DaveHawk 05-25-05, 11:40 AM OLDad, I'm just outside DC in Md, along the Potomac River. Many of my friends shoot and make stick bow's. They have never said anything about useing the sinue but I know what your talking about it's good stuff for allot of things. You know you can buy it on a roll. That's what I do when I am making leather idems. Day bag , breches, exc.... I wish I could pull a long bow, but I need both my shoulders replaced some day and if I pull a bow it will be sooner than later and I rather later. I have had both cut on twice.
Nucking_Futs 05-25-05, 11:55 AM Do any of you guys hunt? And what about us girls? Very sexist Dave :p
DaveHawk 05-25-05, 12:07 PM LOL, where you been girl ? LOL Maybe I should ask this question in the "Lady's forum" I need to shut up befor I stick my foot in my mouth.

lmbo that would probably be best!! ;)
I have been working, working, working and trying to not think about work, dreaming about work and then working some more. Its really making me mad too cause I want to get Koda's loft built for his bed and the armoire and haven't had the time to even look at designs to alter for my purposes. All work and no play makes Futsy a dull girl. But, there is a bright side...home health care which will eventually take the place of working in a long term care facility kicks butt I love it!!! And it will give me more time to study next semester. :D
On to topic now, lol
I'm not a hunter yet but this summer I will not only be taking my hunter safety course but will be learning how to properly clean, carry and maintain my rifle and of course how to hit what I'm aiming at (thats probably the most important...right? lmbo).
You know I love ya and had to give you a hard time
Cherity
Nucking_Futs 05-25-05, 08:13 PM I'll give you hunters a link to a new post I am making in the recipe section. I got crafty and tried a new recipe with left over deer roast and it kicked bottom!!!!!
motorbrain 05-26-05, 02:09 AM Okay you deer huntin' types. The shotgunning wing shooter needs some advice.
I need to buy an all purpose rifle. It should be able to handle pig, deer, mule deer and elk. Not too likely I'll be bear or caribou hunting (If I ever do I'll ask the question again.)
But I really am at a loss as what to get. Seem while my back was turned a bunch of stuff came out! I was thinking a regular old .30-06 would do the trick.
Any advice would be appreciated - on brand, caliber and glass.
Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunatly, most my recipes are not from an actual recipe but something I just know how to make or have invented one night. lol
no, I did not know it was open book. But, that explains all the fighting Koda was mad that his dad wouldn't let him take his book along the day of testing. I think Doug is pretty smart actually not like your going to carry your book with you while your hunting.
Yah Dave very sexist of you...:rolleyes: :p :)
I dont hunt, but love hanging at the camp and cook , enjoy nature ,and hike. If i go hunting with people i will for sure alert the animal so they can run away. :D
And what about us girls? Very sexist Dave :p
capt kylos 05-26-05, 12:47 PM Hey Motorbrain you could use anything from a .270 or .308 Win to a .300 Win magnum but a .30-06 is a great all around round. Capt Kylos
Nucking_Futs 05-26-05, 12:52 PM Doug is putting me on a 20/20 (did I do that right). This will be my first year so I'm still learning but I got cool boots and a really cool pair of orange camo pants and I get to get more new clothes...I love new hobbies that let me buy new clothes lol
Actually, this is one of those "Honey, we should spend more time together" talks that back fired I was thinking dancing lessons or something and he comes home with a deer permit in my name. But, I'm game I figure I go deer hunting he has to go to dance lessons with me but don't tell him yet. lmbo
DaveHawk 05-26-05, 01:00 PM We nned to debate here. If I were to pick a shot gun for over all hunting it would be a 16 gage , if I were to pick a rifle it would be a 270.
Futz, You know how long I have been tring to get the wife in a stand with me ? SHe said she would hunt and I told her , Honey, I will not be hunting either. LOL SOmething about a girl in camo and the great out doors. I'd buy her all the cloths she wants just for one outing. LOL

hmmm now you have me thinking this could be fun. Have I ever told you that 2 of our 3 kids were conceived outside in true redneck fashion? :p
DaveHawk 05-26-05, 02:30 PM When I dated , my fovorite 1st date was a nice dinner at this restraint looking out at Sugerloaf Mt. {Largest mt. east of Miss.} and then a bottle of nice wine and a swimming hole , quary , someones pool in the country with no one home, lake, senic creek. All that changed when I meet the wife.
My wife didn't and dosn't drink but she was up for a swim.
Nucking_Futs 05-26-05, 02:33 PM I don't know my favorite and still favorite dates are just the two of us with no kids watching a scarry movie so I can cuddle up to him.
What were we talking about now?
DaveHawk 05-26-05, 03:45 PM I think we ventured off into hunting the oppisite sex LOL
Nucking_Futs 05-26-05, 04:31 PM Now theres a sport I could get into. lmbo
Anyways, Doug is choosing a lighter gun with a softer kick for me because I had a very traumatic experiance when I was younger. My father learns things by doing and making mistakes. I was about 12 and just ummm budding? and he hands me his rifle and says "ok girl you just throw the gun up on your shoulder and pull the trigger" so I threw the gun up and pulled the trigger, the gun hadn't yet hit my shoulder and I didn't have a good grip on it and it kicked back into my ummm newly budding chest. haven't been all that interested in guns since.
DaveHawk 05-26-05, 04:41 PM Hummmmm, Not a good experance at all. Sounds like your dad and I grew from the same tree. Did you let him have a look to make sure you were ok LOL
Nucking_Futs 05-26-05, 08:32 PM Hummmmm, Not a good experance at all. Sounds like your dad and I grew from the same tree. Did you let him have a look to make sure you were ok LOL
Since, I know you I will not take offense at that comment but if I were you I'd read it again and quickly cover your tracks before someone else takes offense. Cause seriously a girls daddy is the last person that is going to look at any area that is generally clothed. ;)
I'm looking forward to learning how to hunt with Doug he's generally a patient guy and has a way of making things fun as long as I remember not to tell him how to drive :eek: thats when I get myself in trouble. lol
motorbrain 05-27-05, 04:05 AM Well I'll start another thread on the benefit of a .270 over a .30-06!
:)
DaveHawk 05-27-05, 07:44 AM I was saying in a fatherly teasing manner to help break the pain. O , you know what I mean. Man, I'm glad I had all boy's. Like the wife said , girls are much harder to deal with.
Nucking_Futs 05-27-05, 10:28 AM *grins* YES we are but we're worth it. I didn't see Doug's mom or dad crying when we got married but my daddy was bawling like a baby.
DaveHawk 05-27-05, 10:36 AM This is way off topic, but I had tears in my eyes when I saw my wife walk through the doors of the church in her dress. Ya , I think your woth it. I told my wife last night , I'll never get to give a daugther away and have that feeling. She didn't respond. ...............
Nucking_Futs 05-27-05, 10:45 AM Your looking at it all wrong...Men *rolls eyes*
You may not get to give your daughter away but you will get to experiance gaining 3 daughters. There's a positive twist to every story you just have to dig for it.
I said the gun wrong didn't I? When I told Doug he started laughing at me, you really should have warned me. Did you get the new recipe? Its yummy!!!!
DaveHawk 05-27-05, 11:44 AM No I didn't.
3 more ladys in the family.................. I hope they hunt LOL
Nucking_Futs 05-27-05, 05:50 PM You have to look back in this thread there is a link directly to it...Tortilla wraps and who cares if they hunt as long as they treat your boys right and think your a God? I adore my father in law I told my husband if the time comes we can move him into our home and I'll take care of him now as for my mother in law and step father in law I'll find them a nice nursing home. lol
DaveHawk 05-27-05, 06:15 PM I said that for their sake, My boys love to hunt.
Nucking_Futs 05-28-05, 06:39 PM For their sake I hope their eventual spouses like to hunt occasionally. All couples need a little time away from each other. I refuse to hunt if its snowing, raining or if I might possibly break a sweat. lmbo
DaveHawk 05-28-05, 07:49 PM Snow is one thing I love to hunt in. Break a sweet and see some beautifull sceanery at the same time while doing some increable hunting. But you never know what a small pup tent and a warm cozy bag is like with a fire just outside the tent. You an hubbie may like it. LOL
Nucking_Futs 05-28-05, 11:20 PM I hardly doubt he'll enjoy my nagging and I hardly doubt I'll enjoy freezing my behind off. When the going gets tough I tend to stick to the indoors while hubby tends to stick to the outdoors the arrangement suits us nicely.
DaveHawk 05-29-05, 08:32 AM Sounds like our arrangemnet. I see romance in the great outdoors and se see's it in me doing the little things. LOL
Nucking_Futs 05-29-05, 01:10 PM Yes, like the dishes and laundry and cleaning the toilets...not get busy lmbo
DaveHawk 05-30-05, 10:50 AM Ya that what she say's LOL
