Where are the hunters?

I know there should be more hunters around this site. I live in Mississippi and have hunted my whole life. Deer hunting is by far my favorite. I cant wait for the upcoming season because being post op i should enjoy it even more. Cmon hunters speak up!!

HI MATT, I JUST GOT INVOLVED WITH THIS SITE. I'M WAITING FOR APPROVAL FOR MY SURGERY, LAP-BANDING. I LIVE IN NY AND LOVE TO DEER HUNT. LAST YEAR I BAGGED MY BIGGEST CATSKILL DEER, 9PT @ 200LBS DRESSED OUT. HOW IS HUNTING IN MISS. MOST OF OUR TRIPS ARE ON PRIVATE LAND, SO WE'RE SAFE. NOTHING LIKE BEING IN THE WOODS WITH ROOKIE CITY FOLK ON STATE LAND. YOU CAN E-MAIL ME AT [email protected]. I'M INTERESTED IN HEARING ABOUT YOUR SURGERY AND YOUR HUNTING STORIES. LATER, KEVIN R............

Matt, I know this post is quite old to be responding to but I hope you get it anyway. I am also a huge hunter Deer is by far my favorite also. But I do hunt almost every thing here in Wisconsin from ducks to deer and evey thing in between. I have noticed in the past few years I have slowed down alot because of my weight issues. My stands have got closer to the roads and I almost dread shooting a deer because of the drag,being out of breath and feeling like I may keel over with a heart attack. I have fought tooth and nail with my insurer and finally got approved for a surgery date of SEPT-9,2004. Talk about mixed emotions our bow season starts on Sept.-16,2004 but all in all I have life time to hunt so be it!! Like you I should enjoy myself more next year and actually venture off the road a mile or two. Good luck this up comming season and keep in touch it is always fun to exchange hunting stories with fellow sportsmen. Pj Manning

Just thought I would say hey!! Yes my husband and I are looking forward to deer season along with all the others. Squirell season just came in last weekend. bow season starts the 4th of sept. for deer. Enjoyed spending first sunrise morning with our son sunday morning for squirell hunting. went as expected, telling him to saty still and be quiet, lol. I hope to do more hunting with him since I am lighter and can climb the mountains better. How is hunting going there in Miss.?- Melissa

It's dove hunting this wekend in South Texas - can't wait! I love the smell of gun powder in the afternoon! I am excited because I am booked for a hunt in South Texas in mid-November and can't wait to be able to enjoy it more and not be the "big girl" in the group any longer. I love to hunt just about everything (I know - big suprise I'm from Texas) and participate in several all girl hunts throughout TX every year. I am primarily a competitive shotgun shooter and can't wait to be able to walk a Sporting Clays course instead of riding on a cart. Maybe my scores will even improve! Good luck and hope you get to smell gun powder real soon! I am scheduled for 9/15!!!

Female Deer Hunter Here! Hey all. I have been deer hunting with my husband for over 20 years. I really enjoy getting out in the woods without phones, horns, KIDS. Was with my oldest son when he killed his first deer, a buck and my other son's girlfriend when she killed her first, a doe. We own 102 acres in Mo. and i just love it. I haven't had surgery yet and am not sure when i will but if it's during deer season, it's worth not hunting this year and being able to walk to my stand without stopping to catch my breath next year.

Love hunting!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm from upstate New York, no, not New York City!!!!!!!!!! Many people think that NY is all city. Upstate NY has rolling hills, and offers some of the best hunting in the nation (in my opinion). I hunt everything from rabbits to Deer. I love Turkey hunting, as well as fishing. I have several family members who work farms, so I have ample opportunity to hunt. I also own a small (50 acres) piece of land. It is nestled in a great area, and I have seen a lot of success. I am looking forward to bow season which is just around the corner. Good luck to all.

Hi All, I live in Northwestern MN and am dealing with a unique situation. I am scheduled for surgery on Sep. 16th, and that is great. I also am going to miss quite a bit of the hunting season, very sad We are in the middle of our early Canada goose season but small game starts the day after my surgery, still sadder And I had to cancel two ND pheasant hunts, sadder yet Did I mention that I have three Black labs that have never even heard of WLS and think I am just being mean, saddest of all But just wait till next year, hopefully, I will be a lean mean shooting machine. Okay, that was a stretch, but I will likely be able to tote more decoys and follow the pooches longer. My shooting....well that may take some other special surgery Anyway, glad to have a board to post on. See ya Boomer

Hi Matt, I hope you get this message your post was over a year ago maybe you have moved on to another site. I am a woman and love to hunt, deer is my favorite but birds are fun to and it doesn't matter if its ducks,geese, or turkeys its all fun. I have to say that after weight loss surgery hunting is even better than ever.Hunting is such a great sport I can see why you were wondering where all the hunters were! I'm here and i'll stick with ya till later Happy hunting! Dawn, from MN
