The old timers in the club are disgusted with having to make do with only 1000 acres. Years ago they had 4000 and they ran dogs on it. The land has slowly dwindled to 1000 due to land being sold and some being developed and running dogs has been outlawed in our spot but still legal a short way down the road beyond our club boundary.

Our club is named Pine Flat Hunting Club. We lease 1000 acres. We have 21 members but one member doesn't hunt and 3 or 4 others hunt only very seldom. The club president is 87 years old and spends far more time at the club than anyone else. In spite of his age he also makes trips out of state each year to hunt turkey, mule deer, and elk in other parts of the country. He's a very lively and very friendly old gentleman who never meets a stranger. Ready to laugh and joke with everyone from the first hand shake. He's the one that taught me to make deer sausage in case you happen to have rea

I often look at profiles. Don't see anything wrong with that. Certainly not ashamed of it. Isn't that what they are there for? Of course I'm American and we are all a nosey lot you know. I particularly like going to profiles to see what folks have posted in their gallery. I have lots of pics that I've tried to put in mine but if they were taken with our regular camera it says the file is too big to upload. Only thing that worked was a pic my son took with his DS. You are all welcome to look at my profile as much as you want although I'm afraid you'll find it rather tame and boring comp

The family gave me a little birthday party this evening. Received, among other things, a predator call. Supposed to sound like a rabbit in distress. Now I just have to learn how to use it properly. I'll be spending some quality time on youtube I guess. My 6 year old son played with the new call a while. He gets a pretty good sound out of it. Maybe I just need to take him along to be my caller, eh? Come to think of it he can make almost the same kind of noise without the call. lol By the way, my wife was the one that gave me that call and she doesn't even really like how much time I

This deer season being over here now it's time to think about preparing for next season. We have a few months now when the temperature is decent for working in the woods. By May it will be hot and the mosquitos will be out in full force. It will then stay hot right up until the beginning of bow season. I'm not a bow hunter but I have to do my work at the club before bow season to avoid knocking about the forest making noise once the bow hunter's season comes in mid October. I can do some work at my private land in October and early November but like to leave off by the first week of Nove

Quite likely. My wife was probably already done with the shopping before I ever mentioned that one. Can't complain though. Already received a new gas grill from the in-laws.

At a distance of about 50 feet the beam is 13 feet and 4 inches wide.

At BassPro the Browning was about $70.00 US. I'll step off a distance from my workshop wall this evening and measure the beam on the wall and post it tonight. It's about 1:00 pm here now and I'm at the office so can't do anything just now.

Seems no one has anything to say this morning do they. Everyone is just reading and not posting.

Love the Browning Tactical Hunter Catalyst I received for Christmas. 210 lumens. Effective beam 150 meters.

Coyotes are much more active here at night. Sometimes the kids and I sit out by the pond at night and build a fire and a pack of coyotes sets up a howl at the edge of the pasture across the road that will stand your hair on end. Heard them catch one of the ranchers calves one night and there was an awful racket then. I have heard that coyotes are usually more solitary animals out west but here they often hunt in packs at night and hunt solitary in the daytime. My brother was deer hunting a couple of weeks ago and while sitting on the ground got surrounded by a pack. One came in very close

Hello and welcome!

Welcome. Lots of good info here.

If I understand correctly you are saying there was no question of safety as no one was about and no house too nearby and your only concern was the potential effect of the tennis court fencing on your trajectory. That being said I would still opt to pass on the shot. The fence repair would be of little concern but the potential of having your shot fouled by the fence and leaving an already lame animal wounded and suffering would be justification to leave this one for another day. I've taken a shot that I should have passed up and regretted it. You're sure to regret it if you leave a wounded

Excellent post! Thanks Sussex.

Not one for laying around letting that back ease up are you. Another great stalk and write up.

Welcome. Glad to have you with us.

Greetings Davdon and welcome!

Sunday afternoon my son and I went for our first try at coyotes. We decided to try the hunting club where several gents had reported seeing and hearing coyotes recently during their final deer hunts of the season. The sightings were all on the south end of the property but there wasn't a good place for us to set up there due to the orientation of the fields at that end of the property and the WNW wind we were having. So we opted to try the big open gas pipeline running through the north end of the property which would allow us to keep the wind in our faces while observing a view of about 10

Welcome!

Congratulations Hutchey! Sussex, I need you to pop over to the states next season and teach me how to stalk proper. You sure can slip up on them it sounds. Great write up! By the way, Sealskinz gave me a fair rate on shipping to the states. Hoping someone has me a pair ordered for my birthday or Father's Day. Mentioned it to my wife. If not I'll order myself a pair.

That's about right.

My daughter says she might take a stab at it. She's an excellent artist. Do you have a design in mind or you need someone to start from scratch? What sort of club?
