Hunting over the Holidays
« on: December 24, 2009, 11:24:00 AM »
Hello---First off I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  

Are any of you goign to get out during the holidays?  Maybe a chance to use that new equipment you just got?

I have a blind set out just south of my house a few hundred yards.  If I get lucky, I might find time to sneak away and hunt a few hours Saturday and Sunday!!

I was out until 11 today,I plan to hunt tomorrow evening and my brother and I have a hunt planned for Saturday. We used to have a family rabbit hunt every Christmas daywhen I was young, unless Christmas fell on Sunday. We can't hunt Sundays in WV.
 Good luck and Merry Christmas.

I am dying to get back out one last time.  I don't know if it is going to happen though.  We are heading to northern Michigan to snowmobile for a couple of days after Christmas and we always host a little New Year's Eve party.  I used to have a tradition of sitting New Year's night just to bid the season farewell.  With any luck I will do so this year, but my hunting land is 2 hours from home.

I will go this weekend, but I'm cheating and taking the rifle. I sold my longbow in Nov. and now I'm waiting on a new Mowhawk. With any luck I will get another doe for the freezer.

I got an invite from a customer thats local, to come over this weekend and hunt some deer.  Got a couple of nice bucks running around and plenty of does.  This late in the season if it's legal, it's down!!  It's only about 20 minutes from home so probably hunt evenings this weekend.

LOL

Tried to go this morning but It was raining so hard I would have needed a boat. Have to work tomorrow, Sat. and Sunday but will be off Monday and Tuesday and the weather is supposed to be good so I will be in a tree somewhere.

Our deer season runs through the end of the year (archery only area).  If all goes well, I hope to get a couple more sits in the stand or blind for the new year.

Hope everyone has a great holiday.

I try to get out for a short hunt on New Years day as the saying goes what you do on New Years day is what you will be doing all year.
