Gun hunting is awesome. I shot a doe once at 1500 yards with a shotty. Never knew I was there. Played the wind perfectly!

If they are within 30 why would you need a gun 30s shoot able with a bow easy

 

The three bucks I've killed have all been with a .270 rifle and within 40 yardsish. This year's deer was 3 or 4 yards.

 

Just shot at a coyote and missed.
Worst thing is my arrow went in the creek.

 

Had to leave for the am, really hope i get another chance at the six. At first I wasn't sure about him but the more i think he was a really big body deer.

 

Can't hunt with a bow in IL during the two main firearm seasons.

 

Headed to the truck, see ya next weekend

 

Slowed back down now, gonna stay out for while though. Wanna try and check cameras before goin out this evening.

 

Back when I gun hunted it was the same for me.
Most always they were in bow range.

 

And right as I type that started to hear grunting ha.

 

3 or 4 yds. Did you hit him with the gun Tony?

 

I double lunged him with a .270 round and let's just say he ran all of zero yards. Not much of a track job with a rifle.

 

I understand now hear in Missouri you can well in your case I see your point

 

Took my 9 year old this morning for youth hunt with my 220. Windy as hell so we still hunted for a ways. Managed to get within 40 yds of two does without getting busted but there are two houses on the backside of that wood lot and I won't let him shoot that direction. Still a great morning in the woods with my son, and a great learning experience for him. Back out this afternoon with my 11 yr old. Not sure what my plan for him is if it's still blowing like this.

 

In Missouri gun season pretty much anything is legal. You just have to use a gun tag.

 

That is awesome! I'll be honest, I'm not that good with a gun.

 

This is awesome! Neighbor is across the creek in his box blind in a leafy suit. NO orange at all. At least he had his gun! At least I have my orange hat with me.

 

Frost hadn't even melted from the grass and I'm 5 miles down the road already.

2100 miles on the odometer and the worst season ever to show for it.

Time to find a lease for next year. I'm done with archery season for this year.

 

must have awesome bullets to have them expand at 3-4yds. double lung with no track job? WOW!! wish my bow would do that when i double lung them. have to get some exploding broadheads.haha

 

People need to stop *****ing about hunting with a gun. We are all hunters with the same goal... To kill deer.

0 deer so far.
