Holiday hunt... Yes or no.

[mowin]

So who's in for the upcoming 3rd annual holiday hunt? 

We'll have about 8 of us out on Tuesday morning.  We're doe only during this hunt. We do our best to make sure we're not shooting a shed buck.

I will probably get out a time or two between family events. I don't feel the same pressure now that I have 2 doe in the freezer but I would still love to get a nice buck or fat doe to add to the stockpile.

The peace and quiet of the woods will probably be nice after the chaos and destruction of Christmas morning with two kids.

Mostly gonna be working that week, then on saturday I'm going deep sea fishing. But I'll get a day or two in.

I will be off all week and have a buck tag burning a hole in my pocket and a bunch of doe tags

Im on vacation so ill be getting out. I want to get in a couple last hunts on our lease.  And ill be taking  the  muzzle loader  for a walk on some state land that i  want to scope out for next season . 

[dbHunterNY]

yes probably to try and top off the freezer somewhere.

Got 2 during bow season, and daughter got 1 during regular season, so freezer is sufficiently loaded.

My father was admitted to the hospital 1st weekend of November, got transferred to a short-term rehab facility, ICU for a week, and finally back to rehab.   

He's 76 and lives alone since mom passed away in 2020, but based on the past few weeks, he's going to be unable to return home, so I've been pre-occupied with all the details of insurances, visiting facilities, getting his house winterized, and amongst these issues, his sister passed away.   

Hunting was the last thing on my mind - but did get out a few times.   Things are finally settling down, so I'm ready to sit alone in the woods, take a breather and just take in the solitude that nature offers.

Sorry to hear about your dad's health issues, and the loss of your aunt.  

Hopefully you find some peace and quiet in the woods.

I'll be out a few times....mainly evening hunts. Will sneak out at least one morning if the weather cooperates. Looking for one more deer.....my boys are pumped and can't wait to get back in the woods. 

[cervidchasers]

Mornings will be tough as I am working, but plan to get out after my target deer 3-4 evenings if possible but will be hunting hard the last 3 days.

I would love to get out again and pop one more doe, but my wife is liable to go into labor any time in the next two weeks, and I can't risk being two hours from home in the middle of the woods when that call comes.

That said, I could stay close to home, so if anyone in 9F wants another doe killed on their property, I'd be happy to help you out lol

[fletchny11]

I'll get out one armed if my boy or brother is around to carry my gear into tower, and gut and drag if needed.

Nephews are on break from college and back in the states from  semester abroad.. lots of doe  on cam  in daylight.. looks like last weekend  may have snow . They are looking forward to it and I'll tag along

[Larry]

I don't need another deer but a friend of mine has a needy family at his church that could use one so I'll go out a couple of times.
