Author Topic: What have you learned from this hunting season? tim roberts Assoc Sponsor Member # 6228 posted                     This year was another for the learning books! The one thing that will stick with me more than anything is don't get greedy, oh and remember to pick a spot, concentrate, follow through, and pay attention after the shot! -------------------- Tim Farr West Leather TGMM Family of the Bow I guess if we run into the bear that is making these tracks, we oughta just get off the trail.......He seems to like it! My good friend Rudy Bosner, while hunting elk up Indian Creek.

Posts: 1919 | From: Sacramento, CA | Registered: Oct 2006  |  IP: Logged |  Bonebuster Contributor 2011 Member # 11593 posted                        I learned that patience really is a hunters` most deadly weapon. Posts: 3247 | From: Michigan | Registered: Feb 2007  |  IP: Logged |  Mark U Trad Bowhunter Member # 1938 posted                     I learned (from another hunter) that the small can of pepper spray will run out before the grizzly gets done chewing. ALWAYS carry the large economy size. This was after I found out there were seven confirmed grizzlies within two miles of a spot I usually hiked around in when it was still dark. Also learned I more problems with interference from other hunters than I did with wolves when both were in the same area. -------------------- So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing. Don't even wait for your annual vacation. Go at every opportunity. Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

Posts: 1493 | From: Louisburg, KS | Registered: Nov 2007  |  IP: Logged |  awishanew Member Member # 4805 posted                     I have learned to not set my stand right over the trail I'm watching. Get back 15 yards or so. Posts: 64 | From: Nanaimo BC | Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged |  elkbow Trad Bowhunter Member # 12095 posted                     hey mark u,are you using the pepper spray to ward off the grizz or carrying it so they can season your hide before they eat ya? may the lord watch your backtrail!!! -------------------- kevin moore Posts: 121 | From: otway,ohio | Registered: Mar 2007  |  IP: Logged |  Tom Leemans Trad Bowhunter Member # 79 posted                     I learned that I got out out a few more times this year, but still not enough! -------------------- Got wood? - Tom Posts: 4823 | From: Illinois | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Howard S. Contributor 2007 Member # 2906 posted                     Three big lessons this year: 1) I learned what it feels like when you make that perfect instinctive shot and don't even remember releasing the string. 2) I learned that no matter how much wind is blowing and snow is falling, deer will still be out and about. 3) I learned that no matter how hard I try, I still can't keep my head enough to not 'pluck & peek' when I have a whitetail standing broadside at 15 yrds. Shot an elk, missed a deer but still an outstanding year. Howard Posts: 111 | From: White Lake, MI | Registered: Feb 2004  |  IP: Logged |  buckracks7 Contributor 2009 Member # 4269 posted                     I was reminded that stands creek when it gets cold, and turkeys definately look up. -------------------- If it's in your way, move it. Posts: 2374 | From: Illinois | Registered: Sep 2004  |  IP: Logged |  KodiakBob Trad Bowhunter Member # 1631 posted                  That I really like longbows, for their light weight.

Also learned blind is alot easier to take turkeys. also the hills are getting steeper canyons are getting deeper and a 15 lb turkey at the bottom weighs 28 lbs at the top. Posts: 394 | From: nebraska | Registered: Oct 2006  |  IP: Logged |  brmize Trad Bowhunter Member # 2219 posted                     Oh yea I almost forgot. If you don't want a kid to lose it in the woods tie it to them. 8 year olds hate face masks. A kids definition of sitting still and yours may be different. Whisper is a very loosely defined word to kids. Number one but one I already knew... Just being out there with your kids,regardless if successful or not, is priceless.
