!Illinois Cat-A-Lope Taken In Clay County!

feeds@yuku.com (Tooldummy) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:28:30 GMT

My buddy Leonard sent me an E-mail yesterday and he excitedly described his taking one of Illinois' most elusive animals, the Cat-A-Lope.

Leonard's dad was calling with an International-Harvester 2880 combine. When ordering this calling unit, they had elected to get the optional 8 row corn head as well as the 30 ft grain table.

Rare Whitetail variation?

feeds@yuku.com (YoungGunSharpshooter) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:40:29 GMT

A few years back me and my buddy were gettin ready to go down the road to do some fishin'. I took a look out in his hay field and there was a nice sized deer about 100 yds out. But get this, he had a dark chocolate coat and an orange typical rack. When we started to get crazy excited with our new scientific discovery he spotted us and "Hopped" off into the woods, just like a pronghorn would. That puzzeled me even more! To this day I've only told a select few of this deer,...

first time out for coyote

feeds@yuku.com (timmyjones) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 08:31:06 GMT

Today was my first time ever hunting for coyotes, we knew they were by us somewhere just not exactly sure. We had no meat or anything and as I was walking I seen two of them about 40-50 yards out. Took two shots with 00 buck and missed, then chased them a few steps and shot a 3rd time. At that moment I was out of ammo and four more of these coyotes step out of the tree line and started running with the other two. The coyotes in the area have been a...

Deep Snow

I grumble about getting around in our snow but I can't imagine this. One of our steel fabricators in Grand Rapids sent me this picture that they took just north of them in Kalkaska. I'm glad that it's not like that here.

Tested new Fox Pro (FX3)

feeds@yuku.com (Tazman) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 07:55:02 GMT

Went to try out the Fox Pro this morning. Went out to a buddy's farm and set up behind his barn facing the woods which was about 500 yards off in the distance. I used a rabbit in distress call and with in 5 minutes I had 2 yotes approaching from the south side of the woods. I was out of position so I waited until they started working their way down wind. I was hoping I could get one before they winded me but I was out of luck. They took off before I could get a shot off. I chose not...

Ben is a trooper

feeds@yuku.com (Hoosierbuck60) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:59:34 GMT

Just wanted to brag on my boy a little. We sat in a pop-up blind for over two hours this evening, and he did not complain about the cold once. He said he had fun even though we didn't see a deer. He liked seeing the moon come up so big and yellow, and the geese that flew across it. Not bad for a 5 year old. HB

Nebraska coyote and pheasant trip

feeds@yuku.com (mad dog mech) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 09:31:28 GMT

Well it was a sad trip for coyotes. We did not even see a dog or hear one howl. The guys we hunt with say they only seen a couple during there deer season. We have been real hard on them the last 3 yrs.We did some good on the pheasants though 11 birds in 3 day. We are loosing ground every yr due to CRP going back to corn or beans next spring. Here are a few pics.

Hunt and Ruck

feeds@yuku.com (jhlewis10) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 10:33:45 GMT

I have not hunted squirrel in a few years and since we (Indiana) have a one week lay off of deer hunting I thought I would give it a try.

Grabbed my BOB, my 10/22 and headed out. Weather started in the 30's but dropped to 25 with 10-15 mph winds.

Some good scenery for flat northern IN.

feeds@yuku.com (Kouts3) — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 18:27:41 GMT

Well after a nice dinner with the wife we decided to take the ole hound out to stretch his legs. After the first drop when I let him go, figured out I left the rifle at home so had to gather the ole boy up and head back to the house. The first woods we hit was nothing. The first drop we made without the gun man the yotes we going crazy talk about a song fest. Went over to a new woods and turned him lose and he ran a track all over the corn field and through the woods before finally putting...

Well decided to take the Ole Blue dog out for the first time this year and blow the dust off him. Walked back along a ditch I trap and he fell treed right on an ole hedge tree.
