Do we have any hunters here?

[AUTiger1]

Just curious if anyone here hunts?

What kind?  I hunted a lot a few years back.  Now I am getting into spearfishing.

Not much since I’ve had kids. Much like golf. Sigh....

And fish. Why?

[Saniflush]

And fish. Why?

Cause it's fun and they are tasty

Of course!

One of the things I still manage to get in pretty regularly.

I'm going hunting this afternoon. 

Headed to Publix to hunt some cattle or maybe hogs. Maybe chickens.  Depends on what's hiding in there.  And I'll probably hunt some beans, brussel sprouts, some potatoes and some cake.

FWIW, Publix is also a pretty good place to fish.

What kind?  I hunted a lot a few years back.  Now I am getting into spearfishing.

Deer, Turkey, Dove, Coyote, Hog.  I tend to do it all.  Currently in the market for a crossbow.  My compound is starting to get a little age on it and my ass is getting older and weaker.  I had labral reattachment a couple of years ago and I lost a lot of strength.  We do a little of all outdoors.  Hunt, fish, camp, hike, kayak.  I figured we had to have some on here that did the same. 

Spearfishing is a challenge that I have in store for the future.

I tried spearfishing at the store.  It wasn't appreciated.  I can't go in that store any more.

I mainly hunt in bama. The place we bowhunt does not allow crossbows. So I haven't done much with them.
You know, you can drop down to a lower setting on our bow. You don't HAVE to get 375 fps!

That is where you are wrong sir!  Moar speed!

I thought it was because you weren't allowed to do that kind of hunting anymore.  What with the constitution and all.

We keep that on the DL now

But they are killing the grubworm population!

That's why your body is bitching at you!
Slow down a bit. Enjoy the longer pause between the string and the prey!

400 fps or bust.  

I actually want one for maneuverability.  Finally got a couple of stands hung in thick brush.  It would be less awkward to carry.

I still dove and squirrel hunt some (and yes, I eat them). Used to quail hunt back when there were actually wild quail. I’m not as old and squeaky as k or snag but I remember that.

 I could get into crossbow. Not compound. I took a friends compound one time- mind you I’m not a deer hunter— and wanted to prove how strong I am. He’s 6’ 4” 300 and I drew back and then again with every ounce of force I had. I was going to shoot a target. I couldn’t keep it back and the arrow went over the fence toward a neighbors house. The string peeled back a couple of Layers on my forearm and I dropped his bow.

All he was worriedly about was his bow. I had a huge blister on my arm and serious pain.

He was pissed at me and we broke up, soon after.

They have gotten a little better since then.
