Planning on getting back to the Wyoming Bighorns this Sept. for mulies. One of the best hunts I've ever been on, and it's not just for the animals. It's just a great place to be in the Fall.
   By the way, don't look at a new arrival as a setback. Look at it as a homegrown hunting partner. Mine's twenty-one years old now, and I still enjoy every chance to spend time with him...both in the woods and out. Enjoy yourself!

Well, i get to hunt a cow elk later this month in KY... So I am going chase some late season KY whitetail... Hopefully, I may just get lucky and get a nice one!!!   :pray:  

I gave up the lease, so I will be hunting public land focussing on some bow only areas and may use the money (normally woulda spent) to go out of state. What ever, I do... with 3 lil ones... I see my total hunting days decling this year... May see about chasing some wild pork as well...

I have 3 days left here in IN for whitetail. I am trying to put together a early spring turkey hunt in Nebraska. After that, spring turkey and whitetail here at home. Good luck to everyone! Mike

Lord willing, I`ll be hunting local porkers, squirrels and rabbits till The last day of Febuary.Then in the spring more local pigs and Turkeys as well as a trip to some Ga. coastal Gobblers and pigs.Then I hope to spend two weeks in the Cohutta Wilderness area during bow season for deer , pigs and a bear. Then Horsecreek wma for porkers and deer as well as Ossabaw Island for a short 3 day hunt for deer and pigs.
  Sweet thing about all this hunting is....it will only cost 19 bucks for access.PLENTY of Critters down South . I ain`t never been to Cohutta so it`ll be a challenge.RC

14 days left in bow season, then April turkey season and back to Whitetails Oct 1.   Maybe something else if the opportunity comes up.

planning a 10-12 day video taped bear hunt in Canada (for a tv show) will be taking my compound and longbow/flint arras, maybe my homemade muzzleloader. Going to take my twin along. We are going to call it an Early Masters Degree present to us both. We worked our tails off to get our degrees, i think we have earned it.

We have about 24" of snow on the ground here in Kalispell today, but during bow season it was so dry that hunter success was very poor.  I hope and pray for a wetter fall and an improvement in the economy so I can afford to travel out for an Elk hunt.  Otherwise, my deer stand is out by the back gate!!!

I haven't made my hunting plans as of yet. I know I'll be hunting mulies in my own state but I'm also considering a muley hunt in Eastern Oregon. But we've had an unusual winter thus far. Before I make any firm plans I want to see what affect the winter weather will have on our muley herds.

I will likely be hunting Alberta bears in late May, and should draw my Iowa deer tag this year with two preference points.  I am hoping to put together an antelope hunt.

Otherwise, it will be Nebraska spring turkeys, and fall whitetails, most of it close to home.  Picked up a property I've not yet seen that may have some antelope and mule deer on it.  Word in the grapevine is saying Nebraska may be changing some of their season/permit structure so am anxious (worried) to see what the changes will be.

Deer hunting until the middle of the month here in Oklahoma. Turkeys in April. Heading to Zimbabwe in July for cape buffalo and anything else I can get close enough to so I can stick it with a sharp broadhead. Deer again starting in October. I would like to get a hog hunt in there somewhere. Also, I will be doing some additional hunting with one of those firesticks, but I won't talk about that here.

Bunnies next month, I would love to hit the Catskills for some snowshoe hares.
Might get the chance to visit my best bud in Texas, we will see how that goes.
Otherwise it will be walking the woods whenever I can...
