We manage my family farm for quail. Do a lot of habitat work and we raise birds on site and release them. We're able to keep a pretty sustainable population this way. So the birds are half wild I guess lol. They fly good so that's all that really matters.12/5/2010 11:00:52 PM |

2 doe and 4 fawns are just kicking it in my front yard right now. I will try to get a pic without spooking them, although the dogs are barking their heads off 12/6/2010 11:51:04 AM |

I got out the rifle, but the only open shot I had on them was in front of the field where my neighbor's donkey/horse/goats were grazing. So I didn't take a shot 12/6/2010 12:18:48 PM |

Squirrel Hunting FTW!
Been trying coyote hunting, however I dont think we are getting the hang of it. Been twice, seen/heard nothing. 1/14/2011 9:45:33 PM |

electronic calls are the key according to a friend of mine
i'm still waiting to get my .22-250 before i get my first coyote

See, I thought I had a brilliant idea. I have several predator calls on my Droid, that I used the 3.5mm jack to export the signal to my ipod speaker system. We set that up in the field, and controll it with the phone. I have my buddy on my .22 Mag (under 100yrd shots) and I am on the AR-15 (50-100+).
Seems like a good plan, just cant get any results. 1/14/2011 10:33:45 PM |

do you hear them howling around there at night? 1/14/2011 10:35:47 PM |

^^ Hmm, I might have to get an app for that.
I want to try coyote hunting. I, too, want a .22-250 or .243, but my 7mm REM mag will do the job in the interim. 1/14/2011 11:02:52 PM |
Brandon1 All American 1630 Posts user info edit post |
^^I dont hear them at my house, but I hunt yotes on a buddy's land. I know he has them, I missed one with my 12ga a few weeks ago during a deer drive. 1/14/2011 11:05:02 PM |

Yeah, i just picked up a set of seethrough scope mounts for my 10/22. Just need to sight the thing in. 1/28/2011 11:41:43 AM |

i had some see-throughs that were nice if you dropped the rifle and bumped off the scope, but they raised the scope up so high that i couldn't get a good cheek weld
i'm about to go squirrel hunting with a buddy in caswell county in an hour or so 1/28/2011 1:06:45 PM |

Does anyone bow hunt at falls lake?
i saw the signs walking around there this past summer and a thought crossed my mind that i should start learning to bow hunt and make that my first trip. 1/28/2011 1:09:23 PM |
NeuseRvrRat hello Mr. NSA! 35376 Posts user info edit post |
i don't think i'd ever waste my time and endanger my life by hunting public land
even if it's only open for bow hunting

Responding to BHS (^ x 8): The area gtherman is talking about is a good area and I shot a 9 point in that area in 2009. This past year I got a 10 point on Jordan GL. If you want, pm me and I'll send you some coordinates for spots to check out on public land around Raleigh. Just don't be afraid of walking and don't think you are going to get shot just by being on public land (you won't and will probably not see anyone else at the places I tell you). 2/4/2011 2:53:58 PM |

Drew a turkey tag for Jordan gamelands. First time I've ever applied. Looking forward to it 3/2/2011 6:17:42 PM |
