PotashRLS Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Gun season just isn't as fun as it used to be. I still enjoy it because of the deep tradition and fun with family and friends though! Managing our property has added too much politics into it, especially when dealing with neighbors. We actually call it the 9 day silly season. There is just too much "having a gun makes me a hunter" attitude in the woods and it really takes a bunch of the fun out of it for me. I'm 33 now and my brothers and myself have been going with Dad since we were 6 yrs old. One should give back more than they take, but way too many measure a seasons success by the number of filled tags they have. I've actually been working during the week of season the last few years instead of burning my vacation. We are actually thinking about hunting out of state during our gun deer season in the future. I'm not a doom and gloom person, just being honest. I live for deer hunting as my wife can attest. We just need to change things up a bit. Hope everyone has a safe and fun hunt.

c_lou Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 It's coming way to fast for me, I have too many things I need to get done yet! :rolleyes: I hear that Randy. I have more than a few things to get. Also I have to find my license, I guess buying it early doesn't always help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladydiehard Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Well, I hunt more with a shotgun and muzzleloader than I do a rifle but when I get the chance to wander into rifle area, I'll do that too. I'm very excited about the upcoming gun season. As much as I love to bowhunt, I still love gun hunting more. Part of the reason for this is due to the tradition, the family and the friends that come with gun season. Generally, I bow hunt alone and it lacks the excitement of the family tradition at Thanksgiving time. It sounds like I wouldn't be too popular with some around here seeing as I fill alot of tags. Its not a matter of "bragging rights", its a matter of meat in the freezer for myself, my family members and my friends. Looking forward to another successful season in the great state of WI. The family tradition is worth far more than what any out of state hunt could offer me. Edited November 18, 2008 by ladydiehard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love deer hunting in Wisconsin. We are blessed with so many things. And I too like a full freezer. My little boy loves deer meat as he calls it. I just get a little disgruntled when the 9 day season rolls around. Hopefully my little boy turns that around for me in the years to come. But once the pickled eggs and card games start, I'm sure I'll feel better:eek:........have a great hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ok, I do know there are some amongst us that don't cherish the privilege of hunting nor do they appreciate the game they take. Hope you feel better and have a blast, in more ways than one, this hunting season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzilla45 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thank God today and tomorrow are busy days for me at work. I can't wait to get up to the shack tomorrow night and let the fun and festivities begin. I'm more of a backstrap hunter myself but I have seen a decent 8 while bow hunting and I'd love to have a date with him and my .270. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
