As an avid outdoors man I pride myself on using only two methods for all of my hunting. Air Rifles, for small game, predators, and pest species. Archery equipment for large game, small game and fur-bearers. I hunt primarily in suburban areas, so the limited range of the air rifle, (75 yards) and the Bow (50 yards) appeals to me. I am constantly looking for opportunities to hunt. This blog, will be updated with my stories as they are posted to my facebook page.

New Stand Location LL Property
12-04-2009 Using MUDDY climbing sticks and a MUDDY stand I hiked 500 yards west of my location. I hung me stand and waited. I was a bit upset because I had not taken the right opportunity to organize my gear after a 1/2 dozen hunts or so your gear begins to get a bit disorganized. Well to make a long story short I grunted a bit watched a couple of gray squirrels then to the east of me out of no where a small 8 point buck appears. I look to the North of me and there are two does feeding in the yards. What I like the most is that this was a steady 10 mile an hour west wind and this buck was 50 yards directly east of me and he never spooked. I was wearing two layers of synthetic under garments, a layer of thermal underwear, a pair of thermal coveralls and on top of that my STICKSNLIMBS coveralls. My boots are 15inch Guide Gears from Sportsmansguide. It is a great thing to be able to be warm and concealed. Needless to say the deer moved on and I got down right after dark. All in all it was cold 13degs but a good hunt tomorrow is the opening day of shotgun season, I am not hunting the morning, but afternoon should be a good time to be in a border property because the shotgun season will drive deer into town. Bowhunters cannot bowhunt during the gun. Seasons but we can in urban zones.
