6sixpoint_nobrows Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 man yesturday i was going to my stand, started to climb up and heard a shotgun go off and a slug fire and noticed that the guys were shooting not to far away from me, prolly 150 yards away, it was about 1:45 when they started shooting(they were still shooting when i left at 5) and i crawled in the stand anyway, hoping i would see some deer, but no then the other neighbor the the west decided he would sight in his gun for second season shotgun season here in IL too.....soo if this isnt bad enough 2 groups of guys shooting all around me, another guy to the east decides since evceyone else is he better shoot his gun too! i dont know if yesturday was national sight in your 12 guage day or what, but i was pretty upset about it, didnt see one deer until the drive home.....sorry just needed to let out a little steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] This is why I don't get excited about hunting on opening day or Thanksgiving. Lots of guys shooting because they are bored.

Nut Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Shotguns!! I just hope I hear a few shots in the morning. If I am lucky there will be at least one that makes my ears ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveGP Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Shotguns!! yeah i shot my shotgun yesterday and after that i decided i was taking my optima into the woods! i now remember why i decided to start taking my optima instead of the slug gun. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2500HD Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Shotguns!! Atleast the guys sight their guns in around you. Here they just grab it and go! This explains the 58 shots I heard coming from my neigbors property on Saturday of 1st season. There were only four guys "hunting"! They fired 11 times before 8am on Sunday before i took my deer and got out of there! I hate gun season anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6sixpoint_nobrows Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Shotguns!! as do i, i shotgun hunt, but last year i fired 1 shot....just one....hit my deer in the heart from about 8 yards and he ran 20 yards ran into a tree and died....my neighbors shoot about 20 times.....im glad im a bowhunter at heart...only reason i shotgun hunt is so i dont have to quit hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
