in reply to: Big cats in Northeastern Australia? #50562
It’s been a long time since I saw it, but I once saw a documentary about your main extinct predator. I guess it was the tazmanian tiger?
They were some pretty awesome creatures for sure.
20percent of everybody in my state has seen a “black panther”. I’m positive they’re incorrect so I’d wonder pretty hard about that situation too.
in reply to: What Kind if Winter Have You Had? #50551Not a winter as far as I’ve seen, AND I WENT TO IDAHO IN FEBRUARY!!
GA has had a ridiculously warm winter and a cold start to spring.
We only got one snow in N GA and it wasn’t much to speak of. There was zero snow in Idaho when I went there too.
Luckily though, our oaks haven’t budded out early so we will have a normal acorn drop next year, so bears will still have to be climbing trees for the first few weeks of the opener. I’m really excited about that!
in reply to: Kansas legalized crossbows during archery season #50495I doubt it matters much. They’ve been legal in GA for several years but you don’t see too many people carrying them. They have a shorter effective range than a compound and are probably just as easy to shoot.
They should stop calling it archery season though. They should also quit calling it primitive weapons season when they allow scoped, in line muzzleloaders.
in reply to: Longbow Turkey #43845Congrats again bro! Nothing tougher than that!
in reply to: Moose (Not Chocolate)… #39401OH yeah. I’ve been through Val d’ or many times. Our jumping off points were usually Senneterre or Mont Laurier. From there it was about 120 miles of dirt road to the outfitter.
I’m sure there is bear hunting available through all of Quebec and good populations too. Moose and deer are a different story. In many area, the native americans get free reign to shoot anything they want to anytime of the year. Consequently, I’ve been to places where we saw moose on a daily basis, and I’ve been to places where we’d barely see a few sets of tracks in a week.
Also, quebec is probably not a place where you’re going to see many 50″ racks. I doubt you’re worried about that, but most bulls I’ve seen at outfitters were on the smaller side than moose taken from further north and west.
I would say you definitely want to talk to some folks who have been to any outfitter and do extensive searching on the internet.
Walleye and pike fishing in the fall are both excellent and will be worth your time to learn the tactics and bring lots of fishing gear.
Here is an outfitter I’ve bear hunted with that I think you might be happy with. The owner is named Dennis and is a wonderful guy. I think they have about a 50% success rate. His exclusive guiding area is on a long peninsula into the baskatong reservoir and I saw moose there very regularly while driving to and from bear baits. There are also a good many deer there and lots of bear (although Quebec lost its fall season) and grouse of both species out the wazooo!
Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
in reply to: Moose (Not Chocolate)… #39358Let me start by saying that I have zero experience moose hunting…..but….
At 29 years old, I have been to Quebec fifteen times bear hunting. I’ve made the drive from Harrisburg quite a few times and from Atlanta 4 times. Let me know what area you’re going to and I’ll see what I can say about it.
I will say, it’s worth the price of admission just to see how eerily beautiful that boreal forest is. Those lakes, rivers, beaver ponds, and reservoirs are fantastic too. I’d go up just for the fishing.
I spent fourteen years on Reservoir Gouin and 1 year on the Baskatong Reservoir.
in reply to: Spare a thought for these poor birds #39136That’s just sickening. Those are the types of people that become serial killers.
They should, at the very least, be brought up on animal cruelty charges. Sadly, those charges don’t bring much of a penalty most of the time.
in reply to: What broadheads do you like? #39122I haven’t shot but a few broadheads, but I seriously doubt there is a better head made for deer-sized game than the simmons tree shark.
I shoot the 190 grain heads and they are just unbelievably devastating. I wouldn’t shoot them at an elk, but for deer, bear, pigs, etc, they are just brutal!
They tune easily, fly perfectly, and leave a massive wound channel. I’ve had zero penetration problems with them either.
in reply to: Had the day off #36217Any recipe for doves will work perfectly too.
I’d pop the breasts out, dip in egg wash and flour, then fry. Make gravy with the drippings and serve with white rice.
I have a buddy who shoots them all the time.
in reply to: Target Panic #35142I did really well shooting last night. Pulled the bag target into my garage and stood back at seven yards. I was forcing myself to get drawn and then hold for up to five seconds. Sometimes I wouldn’t even shoot.
in reply to: Target Panic #32720I’ll be steadily working at it. Thanks for the replies.
in reply to: Nothing is wasted … #32717Just ordered it. $0.85 in hardcover on amazon. Not too bad!
in reply to: Target Panic #31683It’s such a strange thing. I’ve had it so long that I’ve learned to compensate for it. I can still shoot accurately by stopping a little short and then plucking the string back to where I hit anchor and release at the same time.
I’m just tired of thinking about it and on the road to recovery.
in reply to: Target Panic #30954Dave,
What I learned from this guy (who is a psychologist), is that it has nothing to do with over-thinking, anxiety, lack of confidence, etc.
It is a physiological response that the brain uses to simplify repeated activity and speed things up. He went into extreme detail on why it happens and the biological reasoning behind it. It all made a lot of sense. I’ll pass along his contact info it it helps me at all.
in reply to: Arrow Question #30512Thanks fellas!
