Thread: Hunting

Kind of a newbie to it, but I've been turkey hunting three times and love it. I've shot two birds, the biggest being 24lbs. with an 11" beard and 1" spurs. I went deer hunting one time years ago and shot a 7 point. Didn't really get into it and never went again. Although I have been thinking of going again if I find a decent buy on a rifle.

I inherited my 12 gauge I use for turkey. It was my grandfather's gun. It's a J.C. Higgins pump with a wild looking choke on the end. Looks like a big flash suppressor and a lot of people are like when I get it out. But it shoots a great pattern and has no problem dropping turkey even with a 2-3/4" shell. I use turkey loads with 4 shot.

Edit: Here's the my old J.C. Higgins.

I hunt duck, goose, deer, rabbit, and some pheasant. I use a benelli super nova for deer and bird hunting, i also have a winchester defender for a pushing gun for deer because of its light weight. If you think your higgins looks goofy you should seen my defender it has an extremely short barrel with an 8 shot tube ending flush with it and it sounds like a cannon when fired.

I hunt small game, like Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, etc. Not very tasty, but very fun to kill.

They are very tasty if you put enough rice on them

Oh man you guys are killin me, I haven't been able to hunt for the last couple of years due to being stationed here in Texas. I miss deer hunting back at home......the cold......the snow......the quiet......hunting buddies......hunting stories. I miss the whole package!!

My Marlin 3030 is the perfect deer rifle.

I stoped hunting when someone bought the land I used to hunt on and turned it into a zoo (literally).
