Not sure if there are any outdoorsmen on here but if so, what do you like to go for? What are your weapons and why? I hunt turkey and deer from Sept thru January and then bird in the spring. I am a traditional bow hunter, I dont care for the compound bows and I shoot a Bob Lee Hunter model (60" 65lbs @ 28" draw). My rifle is a Smith and Wesson iBolt 30-06 ( federal premium ammo because of the shallow pin strike) and sometimes I use my grandfather's Sako 30-06 that he passed down when he died. I use a Summit Viper 180 hd climber stand, I like to get in and out and not worry about a ladder stand getting stolen. Forbow season I usually go up about 15 feet but for rifle I tend to be up around 25-30 because I hunt the edge of a field.
Biggest buck I have harvested was an 8 pointer that weighed 204lbs dressed. Not necessarilly a trophy, but he was in the rut so I called him for over 30 minutes with a bleat and it's not easy bringing them in when they can see a doe in the other direction.
I have been thinking about getting a labrador pup and bird hunting more, but I know very little about field training a dog. Any suggestions from real experience would be cool.
Thx:)
