I hunted with a gun today. I found myself trying to finger my release all day. Old habits die hard. I didn' t shoot the thing so I guess it' s not a mortal sin. I saw a lot of deer, mostly does and one little rag horn spike. Heading home tomorrow. Had enough gun hunting to keep me for a while. I found a couple nice spots for a climber the next time I' m up here bowhunting though. I sat in one spot this morning and had 13 deer pass. They came in ones and twos with one group of 3. Came from all directions. Really cool. I don' t understand why some of them didn' t wind me.... but they didn' t. Could have killed most with my bow.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave tell me it is not so.

When you get home you better go and see Len and get him to knock some sense into you

NO

Tell me you were behind a beagle or a pointer and carrying a shotgun at least David....I finally feeling guilty for the one I took with the slugger last year. All it takes is one taste of my venison neck and green chili tacos and all is forgiven

I seem to have had the same problem. Sat. was the first day of muledeer season here in utah, and i had to go afield with the gun. I am glad that i was lucky enough to get a little fork horn, but man, I' m an archery hunter.

Don' t feel bad I love my guns. The only thing wrong with the bow is there is no bang. I love reloading for my guns as it makes it that much sweeter. I guess I am just not a bow only kind of guy. I just love my 445 supermag Dan Wesson and my 338 win mag and 7 mm rem mag and 270 weatherby mag too much to give up on. I love them all. So don' t feel bad just enjoy all the seasons that are available to you.

May the Lord have mercy on your soul!! I finished up my season Monday morning with a good doe. Someone asked me prior, " aren' t you going to save a tag for rifle season?" My response was, " What in the h*ll fun would that be?" I think that the Man Upstairs will take some pity on you Dave!! Cutt

I pulled out the gun on Saturday. Spent the early morning grouse hunting and then slipped into my tree stand later on for some evening bowhunting. Had alot of fun.

I haven' t shot a deer with a gun in a couple years. I hadn' t shot my 06 since last years sight in. So, I went to the local range at my brothers place. He said, " Don' t you want to shoot at a closer range first" . I ask, " WHY" ? He said, " to get on paper first" . I said I didn' t think it' d be necessary. Now this is a 35 year old Remington 760 Carbine in 30-06. First shot was at 11 oclock one inch high. The second shot was at 11:30 1/2 inch high. I put the gun back in the truck and helped some others. The zero hasn' t changed in 10 years. That gun hunting is tough.
