This is the end of the archery season here in MN and it's always a sad knowing I have to wait 9 months to hunt deer in MN again. Hopefully I get drawn for turkey in the spring and should draw a bear tag for early fall. Does anyone else feel like this at the end of their season?
I feel that way after only getting to hunt for a week in your great state.Tracy and I love Minnesota. :thumbsup:
Bill
Only feel that way....every year.
Yep, know the feeling.
This was our last day also. I took one small doe last month and had hoped to fill another tag but it didn't work out.
But, it was a great season. My brother took his deer in Oct. First trad deer since we where kids and he and I have a hog hunt scheduled for this spring. Life is good!
Only 292 more days to deer season here in southern zone NY.
Here in Michigan it ends tomorrow, but the temps have warmed up to the fifties, with rain, and more on the way!
I hunt deer 365 days a year, I take the bow along around 90 or so.
Lots to learn inthe off season, Who survived, find trails without worrying of busting your deer, Shed hunt, fix stands for next year, clear entry and exit paths,, What ever,, 2010 is inthe book, not to early to start on 2011.. Enjoy..
I still have 17 more days remaining in the KY season. The 1st Saturday of September (if I'm not out west or in Canada where I'm planning to be) it will start all over again.
all to well
I'm lucky I still got all of January.
Like BCWV said... same here in WV. Real sad. There is a big buck around my place... couldn't find him. Didn't take a deer with the bow this year... first time for that in a long time.
Wishin' you all a great 2011!
We have 15 more days here in Oklahoma.
There are open seasons here for big game of some sort or other part of May, all of June, September, October, November, December, January, and part of February.
How long you hunt may depend on what equipment you are using, how long it takes you to tag out, whether you got drawn for certain seasons or not, and whether you want to use outfitters or not.
Then there is ptarmigan through the winter until some time in April. Small game, upland birds, and waterfowl run throughout the fall seasons with an additional season for snow geese in the spring.
I usually fish during the summer months. Then there is also scouting, practicing, getting ready, and a bunch of other outdoor stuff to do from photography to berry picking.
There is something to do in the bush that is hunting related every day of the year. Goodness... I almost feel like the darn season never ends! The outdoors is my life and I still don't have time to do it all.
Remember, the more time you spend out there, the more you learn and the better hunter you become.
Florida's seasons are pretty generous so I feel fortunate for what I get. I miss deer hunting when it is up but we have a good fur bearer season and spring turkey to fill in the worst part of the gap.
Shoot, I can't wait to chase turkeys around in 4 months!!
Yeap sad day here also. But when the weather gets nasty it's time to fire up the wood burner in my man cave, make a new bow and knife and by then it's turk season followed by carp season. Oh yeah going out of state mid winter to do some wild hog hunting so the pain is less than usual!
We get 24 more hunting days in MD, the only thing good about the state.
Well for me it's Bunnies in Jan. and Feb., then we're off to Rays in March for hogs, then Turkeys in April. Comptons in June and 3D thru the summer.
We have been done since the 21st of December. Time to get out and shoot some coyotes.
I get to hunt all most every day.I'm sad to miss a day. Our season end yesterday. I'm already sad. I'll sika hunt a week in 2 weeks after that the depression sets in to spring turkey.
I can totally relate. With the Heavy snows we've had here in Minnesota, it has been difficult getting out late season.
The last week of the "open season" always has me kicking myself for not getting out and enjoying trad hunting more.
:banghead: :banghead:
16 more days here - hope to manage a few more outings.
Not to pour salt to your wound bro but we still have 6 weeks left.Our rut has'nt even started yet!70 deg.here yesterday.Hang in there pal and keepem flyin.
Tomorrow is the last day here. I was gonna go this morning, got up and it was pouring down rain. Look's like it's over for me! Now I'm waiting on turkey season. Happy New Year everybody! Jason
I was kinda glad to put the season away this year, considering how hard I hunted and how little I saw. Already looking ahead. Going to try to get out today and use the snow to scout some new trails and stand sites in one of my early season expanded zone hunts.
Last day here in No Mi, I hunted this AM weather in the low 40s, clear and sunny! What a way to start 2011 2 weeks ago we had 14inches of snow and it was cold as hell now it is like March, I wish we had a few more days left, been seeing lots of tree rats as long as the weather holds I can hunt them and stump shoot! Happy New Year to all!
Nope. Im addicted to hogs, open season all year around and no bag limit. Its so bad i havent purchased a deer tag in some 20 odd years, it takes to much time away from chaseing hogs.
When i move out to Arkansas i will most likly give whitetail a try
We here in the Soviet state of NJ have it pretty good as we can hunt deer with winter bow until Feb. but don't forget we pay dearly for that as they want the $ anyway they can get it from us.
wtpops,
Hunting hogs is great as I tried it on my trip to Texas unsuccessfully though, but still a blast. I'm hoping we could do it here in NJ eventually as there are hogs in the Southern parts of the state.
My hunt starts on the first I better get out there nm
im lucky i still have till feb 6 to archery hunt in ohio. then after that turkey.
When going thru hard times in life, we have opening day of deer season to look forward to.
