Nice pics NGO!
My kids have quite the skull collection as well. Things a little more to your liking out here, versus back here? Dave |
|
|
NGO, that is some strong skinning work. You selling the furs or for personal use?

Dave ,
Yes we do love it, wife and kids love it. But we are from AZ orginally so being out west with people who haveing more people who have a more indepedant streak suits us well. Plus we like the wide open spaces, which I have noticed can freak out people who are use to having trees all around them. I was tried of the closed in feeling back east from always being surrounded by trees. Hear we can go into the mountians and not run into anyone for four or five days, just couldn't do that back east. Plus hear I can drive a 20 mintues and be out in the wilderness for free, could do that in Calvert County it was always a couple hour drive and it cost money. But like I said , I'm from AZ and am use to the west. |

Thanks, personal use. No wait , kids want the skins. I'm just working on skinning and tanning skills in prep for SHTF or TEOTWAWKI and will need to know how to make buckskin for durable clothing. |

Rizzo, what kind of call set up do you use?
Looks like it's working for you. |
|

I do pretty well.
I use hand calls mostly, though I just ordered my first digital caller (we'll see how that goes . . .). Best advice I can give is to DIVERSIFY! Every other hunter out there is blowing that call like it says to on the package, so don't do that! Come up with some unique sounds, open reed calls are the best for that. Get a good howler and practice - summer and late winter are the best time for howling in some dogs. I like the ELK Power Howler but Tony Tebbe makes some badass custom horn howlers. I just started using a commercial decoy (after 4 years of calling), and so far, it's done me really good. I use the Quiver Critter from Edge and it's great, easy to carry and fairly inexpensive. I used it to get that bobcat that's pictured above, and it landed a coyote this last week right into my lap - literally! So I recommend some type of decoy. I've used socks and feathers to limited success in the past, but these new decoys on the market are so great, just buy one! Just remember PAWS, and you'll do fine P rotection - cover, moving in, out, and setting up A ltitude - get where you can see out, get up on a little stool if you can, even try a tree stand W ind - not into your face! Crosswind is best, but try some upwind for fast action S un - don't be looking into it, watch your shadow, and don't skyline yourself |

Rizzo, what kind of decoy is that? |

"if you cant like a film of a 9ft hairy monkee with an erection..your just not into nature.."

It is the Quiver Critter from Edge by Expedite. It is about $25 and in my opinion, better than most other decoys I've tried at double the price. Easy to carry and easy to setup - can't beat it.

Rizzo, you are a varmint smokn' mofo!
We had a nice cat under the light last night but he got away. He came to the squeeker like a missle from about 100 yards out. My buddy (the shooter) "couldn't see him" and the cat spooked at 30 yards. Maybe next time... . |
|
|
Man I would love to come out to TX and do some night hunting!
|
|
|
|
You know, a buddy and I have really been wanting to come out and do some predator hunting and some hog killin. If you can ever get somethin put together over there, I'd sure swap you some guided varmint shootin over here.
