Re: 2016/2017 Hunting and trapping season
Getting excited. After the lull after deer season, I'm always chomping at the bit to get after some turkeys. I'm thinking of changing my set up a bit this year. I generally use my longbow for turkeys, but I'm going to try a shorter 58 inch recurve that I've got in hopes that it's a bit more maneuverable on the ground. Good luck to all the turkey hunters!

That's some pretty hard core stuff! I've never attempted to harvest a turkey with a bow, but I think that will change this year. Of course I'm using a compound [emoji38]InstinctiveArcher wrote:Getting excited. After the lull after deer season, I'm always chomping at the bit to get after some turkeys.

Go for it! It's a huge adrenaline rush. Only thing is, it's tough to draw on them without getting spotted. Good luck!Flinter wrote:That's some pretty hard core stuff!

Yea, I'm not sure if I'll try a ground blind for concealment or not. I was considering trying to self film it but idkInstinctiveArcher wrote:Go for it! It's a huge adrenaline rush.

Re: 2016/2017 Hunting and trapping season
I made a little video with some photos from the reserve.
Concerning hunting, there's not much going on at the moment.
Getting the new rifle ready for roe deer season, though:
6,5x55 Swedish M96 Mauser from 1903

Nice pictures MooseHunter. What kind of fir trees are those tall ones with the drooping leaves?

We have a pretty balanced mix of Spruce and Douglas fir.

I thought they were Douglas firs. Had no clue they existed outside the US and Canada.MooseHunter330 wrote:We have a pretty balanced mix of Spruce and Douglas fir.
