Im so pissed right now. I go to school at Ranken Tech College in St.Louis and i live in Central IL. And every1 here that goes to this school all live in the country and are all big deer hunters. So today i came to school an there is no1 here because they are all out slug festing. This just drives me crazy because i want to be out there also. But i bow hunt i think shot gun hunting is way 2 easy to do. Well i though i would let u all know about my frustrations......

Just wait it'll get worse..one day you'll have a job. Less time off..and a lot less girls!

ya i hear ya just burns my ass when i walk out of my dorm and its perfect deer hunting weather and u have to go to school. But at least im gettin my education.....

Dont your professors allow 3 missed classes? I used to save all mine for hunting season. Never missed class when I was sick.

Im in the same boat boys,university is taking over my life for atleast the next 2 weeks and im dying to get out in the woods. Since i started bowhunting, shotgunnin' has lost its appeal in many ways as well, not because of the nature of it, but the nature of a lot of rednecks that grab a gun and go blasting through the woods.

Thrasher, I know what you are talking about. I'm a freshman up at UNH (about 640 miles from my hunting grounds), so I don't get to hunt very much. Ask around and I'm sure you can start building some hunting connections. I managed to work it out with the campus police so I can ride my bike with my bow through campus and go hunting at nearby properties. I can only hunt squirrels because I don't have a way to transport deer this year, but I've found a few other guys that are willing to work stuff out, so we can deer hunt next year for sure.

Keep your head up and ask around, I'm sure you can find ways to get out. It's not quite the same, but at least its something.

Good luck!

I hate to break your little hearts but college is probably the easiest part of your life. If you have any sense you've scheduled your classes to be most of all day Tues, Thurs and maybe two morning classes on M,W,F. Some semesters I had Fridays free. You're in class less than half the time you were in high school (and I had many 3 hour labs) and for most people everything is paid for and lots of single women. (if you're working full time to pay for school, this doesn't apply to you) Enjoy it now while you can, the real world is a lot more difficult.

ya i hear ya on the redneck thing thats what my school is made up of. They all just talk about how they go walkin or have ppl drive them towards the shooter. Im like thats not hunting at all. Ur just scaring them towards u and shooting them. Im lookin at next wen. the next time Im in the woods. SUCKS BALL$

Talondale ya I understand but i go to a tech. college. Where i have class M-F 7:35-1 M,W,F and T,TH 7:35-3:25 and im also workin. So all my time during the week is tied up with work or school. But definally is the place to meet alot of single women. thankz agian

I had an interesting argument with one of our interns a few years back... she was complaining about how tough school was and how easy work was and etc... of course i laughed at her and told her she had NO idea what the hell she was talkin about... looking back, when i was complaining about college, now, I long for those easy days and light work loads... even without all the partying and women (and there was lotsa both) college was so much better than "real" life...

ya it sucks you can't go hunting, but, in your situation I wouldn't sweat it much... just make up for it with some drinking and sleepin around so we (all us old married farts with kids and family responsibilities) can all live vicariously thru you!!! daily updates (with pics) would be a nice start!!!!
