whats everyone doing
 

So, what is everyone doing in this cold crappy weather now that hunting season is done with? Anyone shooting, trail cameras, predator hunting? etc....?

Just got done shoveling snow LOL. I have bought some new bullets and sabots to test in my muzzleloader when I get time.

Good weather for chase'n Ma round the house! Otherwise not much.

waiting for it to warm up so I can finish the inside of me enclosed trailer for spring.

Sittin' around checking out hunting forums!!! :biggrin:

We have an Antlerless-Only hunt coming up next weekend and my kids are excited about getting out there for that. We also look forward to doing some predator hunting. We also are always excited to start the hunt for shed antlers. Also, everytime we head to the woods seems to end up some sort of pre-season scout for turkey at this point!

Just ended my season last weekend with a couple of big does with my muzzle loader. I also found a small shed. After deer season ends the yotes better watch out. Come late febuary I start getting serious about shed hunting as well.

Still got a couple weeks of late season bow hunting in the metro unit around my house, I hope to get out a couple more times and at least see a deer. Did have some success on a squirrel/rabbit hunt earlier this week, and all the snow means it's time to hit the snowmobile trails! Back to school in a week and a half and then i'll be reading, reading, sleeping, eating, and reading. Such is the life of an English major.

Playing with my new Cuddeback Capture Trail cam. These things are just as much fun as hunting.

Yeah I think I am going to go shoot my muzzleloader and put one of my cams back out as well...getting late, I am sure horns are falling off, but still fun to check them and see what is on them...other than that....I haven't been up to much except working and spending some time on here...damn cold weather is putting a damper on doing much outside.

I'm keepin my big rear in inside close to the fireplace. We've had the low's dropping into the negatives with the daily highs not reaching much more than 9. Global Warming my A double S. I'm gettin sick of this cold crap......:o


This is not typical Illinois weather. I know some of my Northern states friends will think I'm a wimp but it's darn cold here.

The fun is just starting in Illinois. Got another week or so of rabbit and deer season, coon hunting and squirrel seasons lasts until mid-February, they are just starting to run the coyote hounds, there are crows everywhere, and you can't take a step in the woods without stumbling over turkeys.

Mountain Lion hunting right now. Will start calling coyotes after I get a lion or the season closes.

lots of hunting forums also been clearing 5 acers of brush on a new property that i have so in the spring it is ready to plow and plant food plots. Planning hunting trip out west for next fall and turkey trips next spring.

good luck to all of you.

Loading all the Bowhunting Gear & cameras as I head out Friday for Oklahoma for 3 days of following my Daughter around (filming)as she tries to kill a Bison, Buffalo with her Bow.
It should be a ton of fun & especially for her.

keeping my bird feeders full daily & plenty of corn out for the Squirrells since food is pretty sparce under 14 or so inches of snow. Deer come every day & finish up the bird feeders the birds haven't gotten & whats left of the Corn the squirrells leave.
