Thanksgiving Goose Hunt Man, I envy you!!! Congrats!! Great pics!!

Congrats! Keep it up!!

Am very relieved to hear someone using a 12 gauge. Rookie goose hunter & right now that's all I've got.

First time Canadian Goose Hunter on a budget & will need to start used. Of most importance would be decoys, in decent shape of course. In time I'd like to get a one man canoe, blind, etc but first things, first. Please private message me. Thank you.

Oct 25th thru Nov 2nd then Nov 26th thru Jan 9th. Is going to be my first try. I want a big Canada goose!!! Between it & gun deer season opening on Nov 15th; I can't wait!!

Seeing as how I don't have a retriever I think I'm going to have to settle for a corn field myself. Still am looking forward to it.

I believe I've found me a spot although it's around two hours from home, Hovey Lake FWA. Supposed to be "the spot" in Indiana.

This time next year will be getting real close to my first ever guided hunt. To say that I can't wait is such an understatement!! I found my outfitter-Rocky Top Outfitters. The price is reasonable enough for me, $275 for an 8 hour day with dogs. Will be booking & getting my 30/06 with my taxes. Biggest decision I'm facing is 2 days or 3 days..

I'm going to give it a try this coming season which isn't too far off. I live in Southern IN. Biggest problem right now appears to be finding Ohio riverbottom land that I could get permission to hunt on. I don't really know any goose hunters..

Ok, based on guesswho's comments I'm looking at a purchase of the scope & then the rings separately? I guess I just figured the scope would come with all you needed. Again, you're talking to someone that's always used a 12 guage or a 22 that already was scoped. I'm very new to some aspects of this.

I live close to a basspro & of course shopping on-line they're pushing their Redhead brand but I want to check out the brands given me so far, Nikon, etc. This could be a once in a lifetime shot for me & although I'm a family man on a budget I want the best that I can affordably get.

Thank you very much. Now I've got some brands in order to do my pricing research. I've got between now & next Oct/Nov to get this together. I can't wait for the hunt to get here!!

Over the course of the next year will be purchasing either a 300 Win Mag or 30/06. My question is what type of scope should I purchase? If someone could give me an idea as far as "best for my $" would greatly appreciate it. I will be going on a TN bear hunt next fall. All advice greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Have a great time!! Congrats!!

1st Bear!!! Great bear!! Nice color. Congrats!!

Great bear! I can't wait to get one. Planning a hunt for next fall in TN. Can't wait to see that big boar in my sites! I want that rug.

Am in process of piecing together a black bear hunt-at least a year out to give myself time to do it right. Want to go with a guided hunt in either VA or TN. My question-what's the minimum caliber rifle I'll need to get the job done? This is no pipe dream. I do want to do this!!

What Gun are You Shooting Winchester Model 37 12 Gauge

Tough Season Supposed to have rough weather tomorrow so this morning was it. Came away empty although did have a stare down with a doe. Can't wait for deer season! I just don't seem to have any luck at all, as much as I want to, with turkeys.

Congrats. Feel like I'm wishing my life away waiting on fall to get here. Have turkey hunted for years but the deer bug has got under my skin. This coming fall will only be my second season. Man, it's great! Last year was still so black couldn't see hand in front of my face but one came ripping past me snorting & stomping!! I loved it!

Best Gun to Elk Hunt With You all are so nice!! This is great! Thank you. Taking all this into consideration. Keep any advice coming if & as want to. Oh & believe me you all will know not if I go but when I do go. I will qualify it that it'll be a few years but it WILL HAPPEN. Thank you.

Kentucky Hogs I'd say the southern part of KY would be best as I know TN has a large population. Good luck!!

Have hunted turkey for years & some deer. Want to try for Elk at somepoint in next few years. Wyoming would be a dream come true but could settle for KY. Anyway, what's the minimum gun that need to get the job done. All I have is a Winchester 12 gauge. Do I need a 30/06, 30/30 or what? Also any ideas on what successful but low budget hunt might cost, keeping in mind am the sole breadwinner & a family man? You can't imagine how much I'd like to give it a try though!!...Look forward to hearing from someone.
