Yeah, and I'll invite the "When Animals Attack" crew along for some good footage.

I have some work to do this morning, and I'll spend the rest of the day sitting in a tree.

Yesterday afternoon-dark I saw 3 decent bucks and had 3 bobcats walk under my tree(mama and 2 younguns).

The day before, I sat 9hrs, in the blustery wind and saw....well, not very much. After 3.5hrs I decided to change farms/stands and hadn't seen a single deer....and then driving out saw 3 large bucks bedded with does in a single CRP field. Sitting real tight.

My brothers both claim to have seen 170 class 10 and 8 point bucks on the same farm the Hog came from last year...I haven't seen them yet, but am hunting there today.

Here is one I hope to kill today if those aren't available.

A rifle, license, blaze orange vest and place to hunt are all you really “need”.
To help your chances of getting one takes more of an investment of time and $$$.

Why? You shopping for deer jerky or something?

I don't see the point in killing it unless you're going to eat it.

Do you then have a problem with fur barer licenses?

I don't wear fur. I'd be ok with hunting for fur if they ate the animal too.

**Iowanian** · 11-09-2007, 09:00 AM

the men are talking now.....run along to Hollister and buy yourself a nice, seasonal wool skirt.

If you'd have read any of the previous hunting threads, you'd know the answer.

Ok, I don’t necessarily disagree but hunting serves a few other purposes than just providing food.

This bow season, one of the things we'll be doing is making a large batch of jerky, and sending some to my brother's former unit, in the sand box.

Sure, to me it makes most sense when the animal hunted is used for multiple purposes. What I don't comprehend is when it is killed merely for "sport".

You ever set a mouse trap in your house?

Did you eat it?

Kill All of those car smashing Varmits, Sec.

There's a difference between a creature entering into your house and you going out and seeking said animal/creature.

And, no, I've never set a mouse trap nor ever had a mouse/rat/whatever in my home.
