Call me if you see a turkey.

(That isn't in downtown Manchester - although they might ignore the gunshot...)

I lived down in mass for a time and there would be the biggest turkeys you ever saw who would just hang around downtown. They'd constantly be blocking traffick and making a big fuss if you so much as looked at them wrong

Dude it's a cemetery. To a lot of people those places mean a lot to them and their lost loved ones. They don't want people spearing animals there for sport either. I'm confused how you don't see this.

Woohoo!

I just bought a Henry in 45LC for the season. Frigging stupid M and L zone restrictions are BS given the amount of hardware I already have. Mounting the Swampfox LVPO and a suppressor on it.

I will get a deer, dammit. Even if it kills me.

I live in M but I cross the street to get into some land in K. Just gotta go a town north to hit some spots where I can bring my 12" suppressed Grendel perfectly tuned thanks to your block. I'd complain about the caliber restrictions if it didn't push me into buying a Beretta 1301 to sling some slugs in M. Your rig sounds dope a tacticool lever gat!

I am glad my block is helping you out!

My new rig is rather frigging cool. I have a 1301 as well but I am trying to quietly close the distance on these farm deer and it is a pain in the ass.

I wish I knew the north a little better than I do. Might have to take a trip.

I mean, did you scout beforehand? If so, hunt the scouted areas where the does resided and little buck bachelor pods reside. Then around rifle season, when the rut begins, follow the does, watch tracks and sign, they move to find bucks and bucks move to find does.

Scouting during the summer and early fall is the most important part of hunting, unless you know for sure your spot is good from prior experience. If you don’t scout (unless you’ve got great luck) chances are you’ll get fewer deer then a lady in a mini van.

Oh, we scouted and know they are in the area. The problem is that we have a depredation hunter that took a few nice ones and there is a posted farm nearby that is owned by a douche. I think there is a harem of does there and the corn harvest on our farm hasn't been great.

I was a jackass and missed on opening day, a horror I relive daily. My other buddy tagged out on a beautiful little spiker. My other buddy and I are still hunting hard.

Seen a few, shot one it went to the river and got taken, very bad day. I hate wasting and things getting wasted. Had another chance on another deer Flung another one and she jumped, arrow went right under her. She ran 20 yards circled around me until she winded me.

Your comment implied he was a douche because he had posted signs. I re-read, and see that I might have jumped to a conclusion. Now if he is in-fact a douche for other reasons, then my apologies. If he’s only a douche because of the posted signs, then fuck you man.

There’s at least 3 bucks, 4 does and a whole bunch of 2yo fawns in the woods behind my house. See ‘‘em every day. No shortage here.
