Several years ago, during bear season two bear hunters were on my property hunting. They stopped at the house to talk and have coffee. And were telling me they never saw a thing. I then pointed out in the woods and said, there's a bear. So he walked out the front door, and shot it. Field dressed it went 285 pounds. Kind of hard to hunt when you see the game in the yard.
My Dad was staying at the place one winter and I was feeding the birds that year. And I walked in the kitchen to see what he was looking at. Outside in the yard were seven grouse, standing in the yard under the bird feeder. Dad then mentioned he really liked Grouse... But I would not do it. I liked watching them too much.
My Best one yet Dave......it was Thanksgiving years ago, I was one that I did'nt care what day it was, if it was Hunting Season I was Hunting! Well my Wife insisted on me being at my Inlaws across the street from our House for Thanksgiving dinner as to not make her Mother MAD.....I agreed, but it killed me, it was Thanksgiving Day and you know what could happen on Thanksgiving Day during Hunting Season.
Anyway halfway through Thanksgiving Dinner I heard shots ring out and they were close by.......I could'nt stand it and ran to the window for a look, about 150-200yds away came a group of Does and in the lead was a Big Buck and they were headed right for my inlaws house........I ran outside to my Truck, grabbed a Primer, put it in the ML and when the 10 Point Buck was in my Inlaws Driveway I let em have it! When the group of Hunters heard my shot they came over and new it was me and said we should have known that it was gonna come your way and you'd get it!
Well I did and went back inside and finished my dinner. So Thanksgiving Dinner at your Inlaws is'nt always that bad of a idea!
