I need someone to hunt with


jdime

Recommended Posts

I'm hesitant to hunt with someone that even drank the night before. Ive seen people who were under the influence the night before not make smart choices the next morning out in the duck boat.

If it wasn't for me one of my buddies could be blind today. He decided after only getting a few hours of sleep on heavy night of binge drinking to shoot vertically at some geese.

He kept watching them fly over after the shot and I strongly suggested he looked down. He asked why, and I said just do it now. Than we got rained on with #2 steel shot.

Ever since than if my buddies were out drinking the night before in an extensive manner I don't even show up to get them the next morning.

I know that if you are legally drunk you can get your license revoked. Not sure how long. I don't believe there is anything about possessing alcohol. I could be wrong.I do know that if you accidentally kill someone, even if it was an accident while under the influence, you will be getting charged with manslaughter and spend a few seasons in jail.

I know several people who bring brandy with them to the stand, or drink before they go out to the stand. Why???

Sure takes care of the buck fever! grinwink

No need to be sorry! You do the right thing. AFTER the job is done. I think people who bring a bottle with them, or drink before. they shouldn't be hunting at all.

My connectoins for private land won't work out. One is a scheduling issue, the other just fell through. Any advice on public land up north that I should try?

Another option would be Potlatch Co. land. I used to have a lease with them and as far as i can remember unleased land is open for public use. Jump to their website and look for the lease manager he will get back to you pretty quick, at least he did when I asked him questions. You can also get the GPS coordinants and ariel maps for land parcels. Good luck.

I got a 6-point buck last night at about 4:14. I got it dressed and hung up before dark. I was on public land north of Duluth. I still can't believe it. Thanks everyone for all your advice. There is a lot of land to hunt if you're willing to drive. The PRIM map I got at the Minnesota store was invaluable.

It was moving when I shot it and it dropped on the spot. Notuntil i got in the ribcage did I realize that i hit the spine. Incredible. I feel very fortunate right now.

I already got 50 pounds of meat in the freezer. Kept the heart and the liver.

I owe thanks to all the folks who helped me out and tried to steer me in the right direction.
