here in northern ontario the deer hunting is alot harder than what it seems to be in the states,, i would love to pick and choose my deer,, but it aint like that around here,, we apply for a doe tag and you have somthing like an 11% chance of getting one,, the joys of getting a doe tag just meens you can shoot any deer you see,, fawn,doe,or buck,, this might seem funny to some people,, but it is what its like around here you will pretty much shoot what you see if you have doe tag ,, by this i meen>> it is what ever puts meat on the table,, im sure their are a few people on this site that could relate to this,, where i hunt you are LUCKY if you even see a deer,, i no people that hunt the full 2 weeks of deer season for the last 15 years and havent even shot a deer yet ,, unfortunatly not meaning to brag in any way,, this is not a problem with me ,, hunting and shooting and fishing all come natural to me,, and iv bagged a deer evry year iv hunted them,, my biggest was a dirty old swamp buck weighing in at 221 dressed on the butcher hook this is a big deer prolly the biggest ill ever get around here 8 pointer,, it should have been a 12 0r 14 the thing was around or 8 years old but as you no as hunters the age of the deer as it gets older the rack size will cycle so like the year befor it was prolly a ten,, anyway ,, then theirs the smallest deer a fawn,, like i said meat on the table!! i think i got mabey 60lbs of meat,, then a few does and a spike horn in their somewhere,, their is someone in my hunting party that hunted deer with us for 5 years now and havent even seen one,,, im thinking on booking a hunt to manitoba for some mule deer,, anyway me and my buddy have hammered about 120 geese so far this fall,, dont think this goes to waste ,, as a hunter i do not waste meat,, i cook some of it in the oven ,, can a bunch of them ,, then make a batch off goose suasage,, this goes for all animals i hunt,, dont think im over doing it by droppin this many geese cuz their is a daily bag limit for a reason,, these things are over populating and ruining the great farmers feilds,, i also got my two bear this fall already witch is cut up into steaks and also suasage,, moose starts in a week ,, then deer in 1 month,, for a moose rifle and deer rifle,, i shoot a benelli R1 300 short mag awsome gun ,, benelli is where its at i also have had my benelli nova 12 guage for 6 years ,, its been in the bottom of swamps lost in grain feilds ,, you name it it been their,, bennelli is a reel dependible gun ,,i also support a 2006 browning 7mm lever with a leopold scope 3-9 power 50mm also an exalent rifle,, although i am not to fond of my thousand dollar scope i think i might downgrade to a bushnell elite ,, verry nice scope,, then i have the old grouse gun,, my .22,, nice and small good to take with you moose hunting to dropp grouse along the way,,then an older remington bolt action 308 its handed down through the family and it done its job ,, then the old war gun most of you have ,, the old 303,, good gun pretty accurate,, and lets not forget my first duck gun , lakefeild/mossburg 2 3/4----3'' awsome gun undistructible trust me im hard on firarms and any gun that lasts me is a good gun ,, ha ha ha ,,i had a remington 7mm model 710 fall apart in my hans i have nothing good to say about new remingtons at this point,, it seems to me like remmington is just selling their name now,,anything from remington 6 years or older right now is the only remington you want to own, i also see that in the last couple years mossburg has been on a come back tour,, does anyone own a newer one??? i interested in hereing on how it performs,, thanks,, well i also do a bit of bear hunting guiding,, i would post a pic of a bear but im not to sure if it will fly with the mods here or if it is appriate for this site buz its got a big honking hole threw the skull,, it was close enough for a head shot so i took it so i wouldent waste any meat ,, the more meat the better ha ha ,, if its alright with the mods ill post it ,, anyway i just thought that i would give you guys my thoughts on some guns and let you no how my hunting has gone so far this year..later guys and happy hunting
