Anyone else getting ready for the controlled hunt?

[BillM]

I've got 50 acres in 76c that I'm hunting next week, can't wait! Going to pick up the SD cards from the camera today, hopefully there's stuff on there other then rabbits and squirrels

[Dontcryformejanhrdina]

Not the controlled but this will be my first year hunting deer. Can't wait until next week! I just hope the bears would go to sleep already lol. I get a lot more deer here when they're not around.

I hunt the December controlled hunt and have done so for the last 10 years. That way I get a week of rifle in november and dabble in the shotgun hunt on my regular days off and don't have to use any vacation! Seems to me that the December hunt is one of the few times I hunt deer with snow on the ground anymore! Good luck!

Thanks, you to! My rifle hunt out at my buddies place is two weeks, so if my controlled hunt doesn't go well I've got a back up. Then there's always muzzleloader as well.

Hopefully there's still a camera! I gave up using one.

It's private property, so I'm hoping they're still there when I go check.

My daughter has a hockey tournament in St.Catherines this weekend.

After that's done, I'm off to WMU 60 for the rifle hunt.

 

I've never hunted the controlled hunt, but best of luck to all who do.

 

Cheers !

for all of non hunters, maybe someone can explain what a 'controlled hunt' is?

Controlled hunter numbers, apply in a lottery in August for a tag, usually more applications than tags for most zones.

Not sure if the link will work, but it's one of my favorites up at camp.... Gets the blood flowing! Google Da Tirty Point Buck by Da Yoopers (if the link doesn't work.)

 

Good luck!

I'm getting ready to avoid the bush around here. Way to many yahoos with guns trespassing and shooting at anything that moves during the controlled hunt in this area.

[glen]

30pt. Lol.

Try 2nd week of deer camp.

Ditto. Best time of year to be in the marsh shooting ducks.

Before I started deer hunting Shane, I was into the ducks big time. You are bang on about the best time to be in the swamp.

[kickingfrog]

Yep. The grouse are safe (from me at least) for a week. Good luck deer hunters.

[Fish Farmer]

90A for me. Think this will be my last hunt.

[pics]

I enjoy the bow hunt due to the lack of yahoo trespassers.. my spot will be screwed up for a while due to them but thankfully we already filled our doe tag...

[BillM]

Well tonight was the night! Setup around 3pm and this monster decides to stroll through around 4. Had to find an opening between the pine trees in order to get a shot but I made it (He was booking it pretty good) Dropped him at about 50yrds.

 

You can tell I was a little bit excited. Can't wait to score him, definitely getting a head mount done. Biggest deer I've ever shot!

Sweet Billy, the smile says it all! You're a tall guy, what's your guess on weight?

 

damn I wish I had more time and freedom to do stuff

[BillM]

Thanks Chris! Couldn't help but smile. We're guessing around 250 field dressed. He is a big boy.
