    I just had to join!! My hubby hunts everything!! LOL he got a small doe this year and saw a 9 point buck the whole week but didn't get a shot at him, then 5 mins before closing as he was getting out of his stand the big bugger came out and he got him!! Yay!! We breed and raise hunting labs too, so he is always hunting something

    Our deer season here in Alberta ran from August 25. The latest I can hunt here is Dec 20. In October I shot a Bull Moose with my Bow, and am currently hunting the Whitetail and Mule Deer Rut hard. Details to follow. LOL

    We are in Colorado and hubby has arrowed one cow moose and shot another. The tags are extremely limited. I am still waiting! The bull tags are once in a lifetime. Congratulations on your moose! Love the meat.

    I had a deer season like that! Last 5 minutes on the last day of the last season. We bred Golden Retrievers for a couple of years.

    Yeah! My hubby hunts, and he has got the kids into it as well. Youth season was Sep 24th weekend and both my twin girls (Courtney and Sarah, age 13) got deer. Not to mention the 24th was our 10th wedding anniversary. Awesome gift. Then when shotgun season opened, Courtney got a small buck. 6 pointer. She was in a stand by her self and Sarah and my husband was in the other stand. She ended up getting a scope eye. They are shooting a 44 mag with a pistol shell. Now Courtney is a bit scared to shoot. She had blood everywhere! They left the deer, came home for me to clean her face. All I did was clean it and add a band-aid and she went back out with her sister and dad and got the deer. Now she is interested in shooting our 410. It has no scope. lol All 3 of my girld shoot bows. The twins have been in shooting sports with 4-H for 3 years. They are good at shooting. Sarah shot her Doe in the neck. face on. It was looking right at her head on and she shot it. So, we now have 5 deer in the freezer. It is a fun competition between the 3 of them. The score is Courtney 3, Sarah and my hubby 1 each. lol AND I nailed a deer with my van.

    Well, last night my daughter saw nothing till they were in the truck and pulling out, and then she saw a nice buck. She asked my hubby to pull over so she could shoot it! Kids! We had to explain that we can't do that. lol

    Congratulations to your daughter Jenn! I am so excited for next week. This year I have shot an doe antelope and a cow elk. I do not put in for bulls or bucks because it pretty well guarantees us meat.

    KS deer season opens tomorrow. My son, 12, is going out for the first time. Mr. Wonderful will take me out on Saturday.

    Last year, my goal was to shoot my first buck (got a small 6x6). This year, my goal is to shoot something quickly and be done with hunting for the year lol. I love spending time with Mr. Wonderful, but it is supposed to be cold and drizzly Saturday.

    We also eat a lot of game. We >should< have 3 or 4 deer, plus pheasant (not many this year due to drought) and the Mr. tries to draw an antelope permit every year.

    We have our own meat saw and grinder so we process ourselves and have lean burger to eat for most of the year.

    Yay Nana. She looks delicious!


    2 of our 4 tags have been filled. The Mr. got a 5 x 5 Thursday, and my son got his first this afternoon (He's 12).

    I'm going out in the morning, and can hopefully get mine too. It is supposed to be cold with drizzle and snow, so I want it to be a short trip.
