Didnt anyone go?

[Buck]

Heck boys it dont take all day to get a limit of squirrels.I decided to stay here and squirrel hunt,the old belly wasnt feelin like driving to Thida and dove hunt,so I just took it out on a limit of squirrels. :D

[MountainBuck]

Buck, I got a strong feeling that most of these boys that post on here can type better than they can Shoot or hunt!!!! :D

[DODGEMAN]

I wasn't able to go, wish I could have, but was woke up by guys dove hunting in the milo field behind the house. Buck did you just shoot greys? What were they cutting on? :confused:

[Buck]

They were all young greys,and they were cutting on red Oak.

[DODGEMAN]

Have they already cut the hickory nuts? I just want to know what time they will be fried up? graemlins/thumb.gif

[xring]

I also went,,,I'm glad I'm back,,,long morning, didn't see many squirrels,,shot 4 times,,,got three greys, try a differant spot next time,,,I certainly couldn't pass a drug test right now,,but was glad I took my pills with me as they are what got me out of the woods.later xring

[Earnhardt fan #1]

I got mine early then had to cut some timber out for dad. so it was a while before I could get back to sevilization

[Earnhardt fan #1]

Most of mine were on or near pine trees :confused: .They aren't eating acorns yet and they ain't falling yet either nor are the hickory's,but I did manage to pick me a good pocket full of muscidines :D

[deerhunter]

Got my limit of young greys before 8:30 this morning...... graemlins/thumb.gif

Seen lots of skeeters :mad:

[xring]

Deerhunter,,,would this be on wattensaw??? If so I may not be able to wait until the 18th.!!!

[Earnhardt fan #1]

Mine were taken in Sylamore WMA .Takes me about an hour to get there from here(Searcy)

[deerhunter]

X,I killed mine on Bayou Deveiw at Weiner,thats where I always go on opening weekend....I got a little honey hole over there. :D :D

[xring]

I believe you must!!!

[hounddgmn]

How is the hunting down there. coon season will be starting soon

[DODGEMAN]

I would first like to welcome old hounddogman from Virginia, I would like to have been in a little honey hole anywhere over here.

We live in town, on the edge and the milo field behind us has been cut, and a guy mowed the end by the river and they were dove hunting in city limits, woke me up at 6:00 and then they sprinkled the house a few times then they started shooting skeet by the old factory, about 12:00 I had heard enough, so I call the poice department to find out the mayor said he allowed shooting in the city limits. So what did I do I got my shotgun went and sat on the tailgate of my truck and started blasting, shot a whole box of light loads. My son and dad showed up from there hunt and we got the skeet thrower out and started shooting them. Then the doves started flying over and we started blsting them, me and my son killed about 10 in the back yard and field, and for good measure we shot about 12 boxes of shells. Was just waiting for the police, I am sighting my rifle in tomorrow about 11:30. Deerhunter you need to bring the boys over we still have some more skeet. graemlins/thumb.gif

[rjet]

Deerhunter you need to bring the boys over we still have some more skeet. Them dove would probably taste better.

[DODGEMAN]

I was just trying to get to police over here, we shot alot of shells, thinking about going behind the police department and shoot some tomorrow, and see if that works. :mad:

[Mr. Chitlin]

I'll try to remember to stop in at the Lepanto jail and visit you as I pass through... :D

[DODGEMAN]

Mr. C there was no shooting this morning, I guess the mayor only allowed it for one day, I have more shells and will be shooting tomorrow if everyone else is. They weren't out there today, so we didn't go either. I was just doing what I was told I could do, people can't bowhunt in city limits of some towns and our redneck mayor lets us dove hunt with shotguns, no wonder we are called rednecks. I did shoot the pistol a time or 10 yesterday also. I like to blast one every now and then reguardless of the law just to let the neighbors know I am a little crazy and they better know where the property line is. It don't have to be 4 of July for me to have some fireworks. graemlins/thumb.gif

[deerhunter]

Well I killed my limit again this morning over at Bayou Deveiw,all greys..............well two of'em were mixed breeds. little jungle fever on the bayou if you know what I mean.. :D

[Earnhardt fan #1]

Didn't go :( Up late last nigh twith father n law but will go this afternoon smile.gif

[xring]

Hey, deerhunter,,,any of the hunters from around wattensaw? Wonder what the squirrel population is like there this year?

I started a topic in campfire about the poor mast crop here in the river valley,,,I went to the mountains yesterday, had a fair crop of whiteoak acorns in the area I hunted, but few or no hickery nuts. I hope its just a few areas as our deer herd needs the acorns to make a comeback.

[nlrailroader]

i shot a limit of squirrels befor 9 am my son shot his first one ever. he's eight. then went dove hunting and got a limt. my boy also shot one dove that being his first too. all the squirrels were young greys in red oaks.

[deerhunter]

Me and my youngest son went dove hunting late this afternoon and took eight of'em. Seens quite a few but the field was just too big with very few hunters.

[DODGEMAN]

Deerhunter where did yall go, I guess the shooting in the city was only for yesterday? graemlins/smack.gif

[deerhunter]

Went down old air port road and turned right just before you reach the first bridge then headed back towards Rivervale. There's a cut Milo field back in there and thats where we were at.

[DODGEMAN]

Did you have permission to hunt on Benny bod? I didn't either. :D

[deerhunter]

I ask the guys that were already hunting if we could hunt and that said it was ok..... :confused:

[DODGEMAN]

I am just messing with you, I don't even know who owns that, if it was Johnny McCords you could hunt it anyway. graemlins/thumb.gif

[deerhunter]

I dont really know who owns that land but yeah if it belonged to McCord I know he wouldn't care...... smile.gif

I saw two little bucks over Bayou Deveiw today, two spikes,one with velvet and one without. They walked up together and got within about 18 or 20 yards of me. I had just shot a squirrel and was walking over to pick it up when they walked up on me.

[Earnhardt fan #1]

Ya'll be a trespassin' bunch a hicks huh?

[deerhunter]

Not me. I ask first,try'n to teach my boy the right way to do things. ;)

[DODGEMAN]

Deerhunter you try'in to pull the wool over someone eyes? graemlins/smack.gif

Efan in our situation up here I do hunt some private ground that they don't want me on, but in the woods there is no paint or markings so what would you do? :confused:

: What you try'n to say? Just cuz you dove hunt in city limits dont mean I gotta be a bad boy. tongue.gif

[DODGEMAN]

I was legal, mayor said so. graemlins/thumb.gif

Just how many out there have never broken a game law? Not just the one you agree with, even the ones you don't agree with? :confused:

[DODGEMAN]

Is that a spike? :confused:

[firehog]

Dodge is that all you do to let the neighbors know your on edge or a little crazy? I bet you have gave them a break with your injuries the last months.

[DODGEMAN]

Lee you are probably right, but I don't know me and my son was doing burnouts in the new HEMI through the carport and down the driveway, he loves that. I guess we are going to have to get another racecar, he really seems interested in them. graemlins/smack.gif

[xring]

Which one of you is the oldest? graemlins/thumb.gif

[DODGEMAN]

You mean me or my son, I think I am, but that is what keeps me young, if you feel 16 then you feel better. X you should try feeling just 50 or 60 and you would feel alot better. lol I thought that was funny. :D :D

Back on topic, did anyone else post pictures of their kids hunting Sat. or Sun.? :confused:

[dspeakes]

I got 14 in 2 days. Used the 20 guage on Saturday and got 6 with 6 shots. Used the 12 guage on Sunday and missed 2 running. Had 2 that hung up in trees and I had to shoot them twice. Took 12 shots for 8 squirrels that day.

[DODGEMAN]

Where was the .22? :confused: :D

[dspeakes]

I never use a 22 this time of the year. Way too many leaves on the trees. Still can't believe it took extra shots to get my limit on Sunday. They were just jumping between the trees too fast for me. graemlins/smack.gif

[DODGEMAN]

What was the deal with just 6 on Saturday? :rolleyes:

[dspeakes]

That was all that showed their little gray heads Dodge.

[DODGEMAN]

Well if that is all that shows that is all you can kill. Did you change spots on Sunday? What were they cutting on?

[dspeakes]

Yes, I changed to another 40 acres for Sunday. I didn't see very many hickory nuts at all. The squirrels were cutting acorns.

With a .22 and a scope, I can pick out shots, no matter how many leaves. To me, a shotgun is more of a hindrance when there's a lot of vegetation.

[dspeakes]

Maybe it is a confidence thing. I have been shooting a shotgun for over 30 years. I do use a 22 late season when all the leaves are gone because I can take longer shots that way.

[DODGEMAN]

Darrell, I look at it like this, if you are going to rifle hunt alot, especially with you scope mounted on your rifle without see through mounts, then you should squirrel hunt with a .22 that is rigged up the same way. This gives you predeer season practice. I bowhunt 95% of the time and when I do gun hunt I don't even take my rifle, let my son do all the shooting. But I feel someone that does deerhunt with a rifle, they should squirrel hunt with a scope mounted .22, just for the practice. JMO

[cal34]

i went sat.morning,got two greys and four fox.the deer outlook seems good.saw two bucks and 4 does.went out to camp robinson sat evening and called up several doe with a fawn distress call.saw alot of deer riding around out there too.some of their coats have already changed.

[Arkansas Hunter]

A lot of people I know didn't go last weekend, because of the hot weather. Atleast it will be nice this coming weekend though.

[Arkansas Hunter]

Have any of you been seeing deer while you have been out in the woods squirrel hunting?

[dspeakes]

I saw quite a few deer this past weekend while I was in the woods. They didn't seem to mind the hot weather. :D

[CDay]

Nope I did not go tree rat hunting. I spent the three days shooting at doves and drinking alot of beer. I think I drunk as many cases of beer as cases of shotgun shells I shot. But I did have a good time. Micah shot more doves than I did. He did pretty good, it was nice to just sit back and watch him shoot.

I figure I will get out and shoot some tree rats after shutdown. It just ain't any challenge to get a limit of treerats and that is using a .22 caliber rifle.

[xring]

May not be a challenge for you there Cday,,but it certainly is for me.

[DODGEMAN]

Did you go to a dove hunt or a keg party? :confused: graemlins/smack.gif

[xring]

Is it more or less a challenge before you drink a case of beer?

[DODGEMAN]

I am with you X I want to see him drink a case before daylight, then go out and kill 8 with a .22? graemlins/smack.gif :D

[dspeakes]

If he drinks a case and then goes to the woods, I don't want to be in those woods. Safety first!!

[CDay]

I don't drink when I am squirrel hunting, deer hunting, or any other hunting that I have to be quiet and sit still. Dove hunting to the group that I hunt with it is like a big party to celebrate that hunting season is finally here.

[deerhunter]

[DODGEMAN]

That is what I want a bunch of drunk guys with guns, and having a party, those two always go good together. graemlins/smack.gif :rolleyes:
