What are you hunting/fishing?
-
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 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.

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
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.

Coyote hunting in Illinois is legal year round with a general hunting license and habitat stamp except during the two deer shotgun seasons.
marzig20 I will never understand Illinois. Can’t shoot coyotes during deer season, also can’t use rifles to hunt deer but you can for coyotes! I don’t see the point besides more hunters during deer season. And the cost of nonresident license….yikes.

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 Well obviously, some want to be totally uncomfortable because that’s the way it’s done. I don’t hunt. But, I would sit up there with you any day. Plus, the “hunted” can’t smell you easily. Just have fun with it.

Several of us had some luck hunting Southwest Nebraska pheasants and quail yesterday. Bumped several nice mule deer bucks and a few coyotes while walking the canyons. I don’t know how many miles we logged but my feet and legs says its quite a few.
Great time getting together with some old and newer friends for this hunt and the gracious land owner who gave us permission to hunt his property. Really look forward to this every year.
processhead Very nice bounty there sir. Time to rest a bit and gain that strength back.
