My wife got me an Ipod Nano...how many people out there listen to music while hunting?

Pete W · « **Reply #1 on:** January 20, 2007, 05:04:00 PM »

Sure do , Birds, waterfalls, babling brooks , wind in the trees, the crunch of fresh snow under foot.
An IPOD? Surely you jest.

Never music, but have been known to catch the last quarter of a came.

Getting away from it all is part of what it is all about and listening to a game or music would be like bringing civilization with me. Besides when I hunt I rely on my ears almost as much as my eyes to locate animals. Can't even stand to have a hat or hair over my ears.

I would never dream of listening to anything but nature when I am out in it. In fact I have nature sounds on my PDA so I can listen to it when I can't be there.

When I am snowboarding or mountain biking that is another story. Sometimes I use music to fire me up so I can ride like a bat out of #&!!. But never for hunting, fishing, hiking or canoeing.

Every year here in Michigan the local huntin shows will have a look into some of the tricked out huntin shacks and ice shanties. There are some with tv,stove,wood burners, you name it and someone will have it.

Marc- Last year when I was with the Wensel's on a pig hunt I listened to my iPod constantly while in the blind. Sitting in a blind for hours can be monotonous, and it really helped to pass the time.

If that music is loud enough for you to hear, don't think for a minute an animal can't. Alan

Sometimes I get a country tune stuck in my head which is residual from the car radio mostly...it's a chore to shake it out so I can focus on listening to the forest at times.

I've listened to the game a time or two. I never had it bother the deer as I use an earbud and turn up the volumn just enough to hear it

I rock out on my way to a hunting spot. My music may be a bit too heavy for most in here. I'm a heavy metal head!!!!

Tyler Carlson · « **Reply #12 on:** January 20, 2007, 09:46:00 PM »

Alan - A group of javies came in and I shot one 2 yards in front of the blind,so...I don't think the volume was a problem.

I like music as much as most but can't even imagine choosing to listen to it over the sounds of the forest. It is like throwing away part of the experiance. I would think most traditional hunters would be more into the natural and spiritual aspects of the hunt than to do that. I hope I never feel that nature is so boring I have to listen to something to remind me of a city.

Old Ways- There aren't many forest noises in South Texas at 2:00 in the afternoon when it's 80 degrees. That being said, I wouldn't listen to music in the forests and creek bottoms of Montana while deer hunting, but there also aren't really any noises when you're sitting in a blind in the middle of the prairie when it's 90 degrees outside and you're sweating your a$$ off waiting for antelope to come in, and I choose to listen to music in that situation. If listening to music while hunting makes me "not traditional", then I guess I'm just a bowhunter who uses a recurve.

Nope.Never have. I do listen to the "Last of the Mohicans" CD in the truck on the way to my spot.

Tyler Carlson · « **Reply #16 on:** January 21, 2007, 12:07:00 AM »

Roger- The "Last of the Mohicans" CD would be a good one to listen to. My Great-Uncle has a friend who always listens to "The Spirit of Fred Bear" before he goes hunting.

I like to listen to great whitebuffalo by Ted on my way to and from my spot.

I listen to an Ipod when I run and occasionally around the house.

My normal huntin' rule is that the radio goes off when I get to the front gate of my huntin' grounds. It helps me get in the zone, and normally I just want some quiet time when I'm in the woods.

I say if you like it, do it. Some folks may say its not traditional. Next thing you know, you'll be shooting carbon arrows out of a laminated fiberglass bow. My goodness! What is this world coming to?

Sometimes I wear earplugs before I go to the woods. When you take them out, you can really hear well for an hour or so. Hap
