What are you hunting/fishing?
-
ND Mike Yeah states will regret reintroducing wolves without a plan on how to control it quick enough. In Idaho their wildlife management shoots them out of helicopters, even though you can get tags to hunt them. They are super smart animals.

HerbcoFood we have had 2 seasons so far in wi. This spring over 200 were shot in less than 2 days. By law we have to have a season , but it keeps getting messed up in the courts. Long story but if your ever bored, Google it

GWG8541 thanks. Smoke pole season ends tomorrow so I took the night off of work tonight. When my son started hunting at age 10, I build a heated stand . Makes it alot easier sitting then the old days when i would sit in a foxhole with a wool blanket . I must be getting old…or smarter
kyle I tend to like a few more comforts the older I get.

cdavis its 1 above zero out right now and I’m sitting in my stand in blue jeans and a flannel. Some might think this isn’t hunting but I dont care. Spent 30 years sitting out in the cold, I feel I deserve a little comfort
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

kyle Hunt smarter not, harder (or colder).
You can’t hunt if you can’t stay in the field. Your odds of success just keep going up the longer you can stay out. -
kyle I hear ya, I don’t sit unless it’s in my permanent shack or a pop up with heat. It’s a difference of getting cold in 3 hours and leaving or sitting sun up to sun down. A lot of people say that’s not hunting but in the end when I can sit out there from sun up to sun down not having to move or go get lunch I’m spending more hours in the woods compared to other folks. To each their own style of hunting. I have seen and shot way more deer with this method. I am looking at buying two more permanents this year for my other property. Here is the one I built a few years back. I just blacked out the inside and window framing is blacked out now too since this pic.
September-middle November bow hunting I will sit in a treestandtwilliams I needed a place I could hunt when my kids were 4 years old so I built this and gladly use it to this day. I’m like you. When it’s warmer weather I’m in a treestand.
-
twilliams we sit mostly now too. My brother built two blinds but this year was too nice to put them out. We just sat outside all day in some brush. The last day was a bit cold at 15 degrees with 20 mph wind but it was doable. Was able to stay out till dark.
ND Mike a day like that I would definitely be in my shooting house.
-
ND Mike yes they are. I live and hunt about 3 miles from the boarder. Around my hunting property there are 3 different packs. Years ago, we knew some were around, but now they are seen all the time.Many pets have been taking right out of peoples yards. We have a problem
kyle man I’m glad we don’t have to deal with a wolf problem. That can destroy a deer herd. Sorry to hear that.

We don’t have wolves where I live but we’re thick with coyotes. My 9lb poodle never goes out unless I have a leash on her. Some of my neighbors have had their pets come up missing. Pretty sure coyotes were involved. Feral hogs are in southern Illinois and are rapidly moving north too.

marzig20 I dont know how it is where you live, but in wi at least we can legally shoot coyotes.

marzig20 we have lots of coyotes here also. They have carried off several of my barn cats. I take every opportunity to thin their population.
-
cdavis I have lots of wool clothes and other cold weather gear but I do like it less and less. The cd really makes my knees hurt.

ND Mike I bet it does. We don’t even see temperatures like that very often.

cdavis they got my best cat last year. A few have and will continue to pay for that.

GWG8541 stay after em. In several years we’re bound to get the guilty one.

kyle I’m like you, spent 40 years out in the weather. Usually still hunt the first weekend with a group I’ve been hunting with for 50 years, 3 generations. We make drives through wood lots and swamps, so I am usually always moving and keep warm that way. Later in the week my brothers and I hunt on a piece of land from some enclosed stands we built, don’t feel bad about it at all.
