It is a tradition, as Joe said we always did it as a family. Now it is just me and my son-in-law. He is new family. We will sleep in and get to our stands around 9am. we will sit until 1:30 and than dinner at 2:15, unless we shoot one than dinner can wait a while. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Shawn

I may take my 7 year old boy and my new Griffin and try to get one of these big city bucks near a local bike trail as long as it doesnt rain.

I'll be out that late afternoon, I'm the cook so I have to get everthing done for dinner. But after I eat and get stuff clean up I'm heading out for the rest of the day.

For the first time since I met my wife in '95... YES... I'm going hunting on Thanksgiving day!

Wife and son are in TX, and I'm in VA, so I'll be hunting the morning, eat lunch with my hunting buddies, and then return to the woods for an evening hunt.  

Looking forward to it!!!
All the best,
Glenn

I forgot to mention that Thursday is the first day of tree rat season where I hunt. So it's them first but if I happen to see a deer.

Well I tried to bring up the subject of skipping the in-laws dinner and just going to camp. All I got as a response was "The Look"....again.

We compromised, I go to the in-laws then I get to go hunting.   :bigsmyl:

I'm going out too.  Anyone ever shot a turkey on Thanksgiving day. That's always been my dream.  Eat a wild bird that I shot that morning.

Hasn't happened yet.

It's always been a big family tradition for my family. The group is in the woods till 12, then dinner then back out.

This year, I've got a nice lil portion of thick woods all to myself since the rest will be rifle hunting. I'm taking the longbow for it's first thanksgiving day hunt!

Good luck to you all, and happy turkey day..

Deer hunting early and then at 10:00 or 11:00 take my dogs out and try to shoot a limit of roosters before the family gets to my house.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Be out behind the house for a couple of hours in the AM before the family arrives.

No thanksgiving hunting for me this year.    

I hope to get out for a weekend or two closer to x-Mas/New Years.    Otherwise my bow season is done.

My brothers and I always hunted waterfowl on Thanksgiving morning but this year I will go alone after Deer. Can only be out until 10:00 though my wife says she is not peeling 10lbs of taters by herself.
