Title: Season Goals
Post by: shadowchaser on October 10, 2010, 02:08:29 AM
My goals for this season are to actually hit something, stay awake(mostly), and not forget my gloves 50% of the time.

My goals are assigned after the season... Namely to practice shooting a bit and getting the gun zeroed.  Once the season starts I don't have any goals... Just plain fun out there...Predator Hunting Is Not Just A Hunt It's An Adventure!" You never know what your going to call in.. Also there are some trophy predators out there and it's nice when God allows you to take one every once in awhile... I always think safety so maybe that what I want to make sure prevails this predator hunting season...Think before you shoot.....Be careful out there at night for trips and falls too... Keep the safey on at all times and only take it off when your going to shoot...

If my "caller" could bring them into the county that I'm hunting, I wouldn't have to try to make 1500 yard shots at night. HAHAHAHAH

I would like to call in and kill a coyote, fox red and grey, bobcat, and coon.  But would be extremely happy with just calling in a cat for dad this year. 

IMO you need to set goals for yourself so you can stay motivated the whole season.

My goals are set. I want to have as much fun as possible wile hunting with new and old friends. The kill numbers will just have to be what I get. But I think they should be good, I just feel it this year.

I just want to make some of our scheduled hunts. Last year I wasn't able to make one of them. Hunt as much as I can and get what I can get. I got my first black squirrel today. I've always wanted one of them. That was a goal.

As a young trapper, I started to call Fox because I learn I could shoot 'em  and put additional fur in the shed. That was in 1965.
My goal hasn't changed...

My goals are simple I would like to take my first fox, and yote this year. I only made it out a few times last season. I called in a fox in late muzzloader season. I wasn't seeing any deer, was getting a little bored, and decided to play with the backstabber. Had a fox come in within 5 minutes. I know the .50 cal would have tore the fox up, but the dang gun wouldn't go off anyways. >:( I learned a few things on that hunt, and it fueled my desire to hunnt predators.

melsdad  I hope you get one this year. Hope your in gray fox country...Make sure you try the Grayfox Pup.  If grays are there they will come quite close to the speaker and if they are there they will come if you use that sound... Use a shotgun, hunt at night time... Hold a red lens light in front of you and place a bobber light styk behind the bead of your shotgun so you have something to point at the gray when it comes in.. You will find these where bobbers are sold.. get the one with the small battery they last all season...  Good Luck let us know when you get one or even if you get a shot..

Where are you located at melsdad?

Post by: melsdad on October 21, 2010, 01:22:43 PM
Thanks for the advice, and support Uncle Buck! I have a shotgun set-up with a mueller red dot. I have done the range work with my gun, and it likes remington 3" #4 buck, and it also shoots Hevishot dead coyote well also. Both are rounds give me nice groups using the dead coyote tube.

Ben, I am located in Elizabeth Township in allegheny county along the Yough river,very near the westmoreland county line.

I want to start out the season healthy for once, I had the swine flu last year and missed nearly the first month and the year before that I had to have surgery and missed more then first month.  This is me crossing my fingers so far so good. lol

Man you are close!

I am not sure about the hunt yet. How exactly does the hunt work?  I need to see how the work, and family schedule looks.

Goal this year is to make every shot count.I had some issues last year that cost me several fox.Hopefully the changes that were made will help take care of that problem.Other than that just get out as much as possible and enjoy.
