Checking to see if this imgur thing works. This is supposed to be a photo of my first goose, shot last week.

How'd it eat?

I might go after Bear in Maine this weekend while I'm up there.

I guess we can use this thread as the 2015 hunting mega thread?
That said here's a little refresher for you deer hunters out there and those who process their own deer!

Pretty quick way to field dress a deer...

I was thinking like Adamant2010 in regards to the "mega thread". Can we get the title changed to state that?

 

[exojam]

If you believe sort of long range weather forecasts, the first week of deer season is going to be a little wet.

Still cannot figure out where I am going on opening day. Thinking it maybe a evening sit for me.

 

[Adamant2010]

Opening day weather is looking good! Upper 20's with a high in the 50's!

There are a bunch of does that visit an apple tree all day and night according to my camera.. And it's about 200 yrds from where that big bucks is I posted.. I might hunt that in the afternoon opening day cause they are still going for easy food.. And he might not be out and about till Rut.. Any advice?

Still trying to figure that out. Not a lot of energy for me right now so maybe just the morning. I would like to do the morning in one spot and evening at another but I am not sure if I can make it that long.

Our third annual trip to Pittsburgh, NH. 4 teenage hunters, 2 dogs and 2 dads.
Very few birds but lots of laughs and well over 1,000 clays slaughtered during several days of backwoods trap shooting.
One of the boys made a nice trophy for the best trap shooter. 2 designated rounds in two days with the winner shooting 78/100.
He keeps the trophy until next year when he defends his title.
Shot the AR's and handguns in the gravel pits....Teenage boys can sure burn up the ammo!

Huge Kudos to you for getting and keeping the kids involved. As a dad of four teens (2 boys & 2 girls) myself, I understand how difficult it is to get them involved in hunting/shooting when they have so many other competing interests distracting them at that age. They'll remember those hunting trips for the rest of their lives though, and will employ the positive values they developed through those outdoor experiences throughout their lives as well!

Awesome pics. Everyone must have had a great time.

Holy smokes, 1,000 clays with a hand thrower? Someone there must be sore lol.

Oh yea, sore arm for the old men and sore shoulders for the young bucks...

Went out at 4:00 today and worked the edges in Westboro.
Scout found this one in the thick stuff. Saw one other hunter out there.
Was a nice afternoon.

What kind of bird? It is very colorful and looks very cool.

Sounds like a fun with having the place basically to yourself.

Nice bird! I'd have been there, but I'm down on the Cape for my wedding anniversary.

I'm surprised there weren't more folks there. Doesn't it get slammed?

 

[Augustus McCrea]
