Hunting over the Holidays
« on: December 22, 2010, 08:54:00 PM »
Who is going hunting over the holidays?  I will be in the woods tomorrow night. The muzzle load season is done here in Michigan. The doe only season started this week on private land, so I will be perched in a tree waiting for the boys in orange drive the deer back on state land. I should have the place to myself.  Ahhhh...

Peace indeed brother!!!

I get some days after Christmas, and I am going to soak in all the cold air I can.

It will be whitetails by day and coyotes by night, and somewhere in there I plan on getting in some ice fishing.

Good luck, be careful, and enjoy!  :thumbsup:

Deer season closed yesterday here in NYS.  I might do a little small game/stumpin' between Christmas and New Year's.  Actually it's snow shoeing and stumping.  Not too much small game activity lately with all the snow.

I will be in a stand as much as my family will allow. Gun season here, I'll be wearing orange but carrying the bow as usual. Good luck to you all and all a good night.

I make sure family is a strong first on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.  I will try to hunt Christmas Eve morning before kids start coming over. If the weather holds I'll try to get in a couple more hunts the last week of January.  I'd like one more crack at one of my "picture bucks" but I'm also anxious to put some squirrels in the freezer. I'll stop deer hunting by January 1 (17 days before the season closes) to worry the bushytails a bit.

We're supposed to get a good snow by Christmas morning so I'll probably head out then (gonna go tomorrow A.M.). Who knows.... I'd like to go most every day until the season closes here.  Im feeling good about a couple of my spots so hopefully it'll be sooner than that....Phil

I am, actually started this morn.  The rut is wide open here.  I never made it to the bow stand.  Got there a little late and on the way in started seeing bucks chasing.  I saw 7 bucks 8pt or better.  Just had to watch em couldn't get em to stop running.  Nothing was huge, but some decent deer for around here.  Good luck

Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas depending on weather. Then at it again when I return from a trip after the New Year
