What are your 2015 plans?

[Wyoming Hart]

Looks like the fall is going to be busy for a lot of guys on here. As for me, PA archery deer starts the first week of October, then heading to Wyoming the middle of October for Antelope and Elk, back to PA for deer if I don't tag out before. PA Turkey the beginning of November. Archery deer is still in the beginning of November, but I'm a turkey man at heart. PA bear is the week of Thanksgiving, then rifle deer season is the week after. After Christmas is our late traditional season for deer. Might throw a squirrel or other small game hunt in there somewhere. Good luck to all, and have fun at whatever you may pursue!

Ikic Whereabouts in fl?

We will be hunting hogs around New Smyrna Beach somewhere. My folks live there and set up the hunt with a close friend of theirs that has a cattle ranch around the area. I don't know the exact town it is in.

 

[GOSHENGRUNTER]

I got back from Utah on the 23rd. north Carolina bear October 13-18 and new York deer Oct 24-28. Then I'll twiddle my thumbs hunting whitetail at home until a Sika hunt in Maryland in January

Family duck hunting trip to the 5th generation cabin with my dad, my boys and brother in law Oct 22-25.
MN shotgun deer season opening weekend November 7 if I don't shoot a buck with my bow.
SE Montana rifle mule deer hunt November 14-22. Pumped for my first trip out west.
MN muzzleloader hunt for a buck if I haven't gotten one with bow/gun, or a doe if I need more meat November 28- December 12.
MN archery in December if I or a friend need a doe, or if by way too much bad luck I haven't punched my MN buck tag.

Actually, just found out I was drawn for a reserved public hunt here in Indiana.. Which brings my total up to a possible total of 4 Indiana bucks. I have just 2 days to get it done on the reserved hunt, so it's a long shot but on some pretty good ground.

Ha takes me a back a ways but I remember having 4 IN buck tags back in the day, drawing Ft. Atterbury or something, & Ft. Harrison the first year they opened. My sister's office faced the woods at Harrison and she used to tell me about the deer there. I moved to Illinois Chicago burbs 8 years ago but got one of the very last of the real lifetime Illinois hunting permits. So this year I have a chance to put in for transfer back to NW Indiana if I want. Really considering it hard now due to the cheap houses/taxes there. Plus I could still apply/hunt all of Illinois at resident rates. Fiancee doesn't care so it's my decision.

No tags out west this year despite 300+ points. I never would have gotten into those point schemes had I know how politicians would rape the nonresidents that paid the most, and waited the longest, by devaluing our points with their BS rule "changes".

Funny thing is, Indiana has a "1 buck rule," just doesn't apply to the deer reduction hunts I was drawn for. Also, state park reduction draws still haven't been posted, so that number of 4 bucks could still increase! Now if I can only find the deer..

 

[swampokie]

I will be archery hunting Oklahoma bears and whitetails oct 1. Oklahoma muzzleloader deer oct 24-27. New mexico mulies oct 31-nov 4. Ok rifle deer nov 21-dec 6. Archery deer on most of the days after oct 1 that were not mentioned!

 

[missjordan]

Headed to Sw Montana this weekend for archery opener. Then we'll hunt most weekends close to home, then back down south again during the first week of november. Hoping next week we draw swan tags for freezeout so we can fit a little bird hunting into the schedule. Never been there before so it'll be a new adventure

Nice, good luck, plenty of them over that way.

Soon I will start baiting for bear in Arkansas. I will probably use a climbing stand but plan to put up at least two stands a feeder for deer hunting. Archery bear will be my first hunt. New Mexico 16c youth hunt for the grandson will be the last of December. I don't know of anyplace to stay in that unit so I guess we will camp out of the jeep. I will get to deer hunt in Arkansas over some food plots.

If I end up pulling the trigger on my office move, I'd pay resident rates for both states and have all the buck tags I could possibly fill. Up to 6 or 7. Other nice thing is I still could still get all my travel expenses to hunt both states payed for as business expense. Quite a deal.

 

[eye in sky]

My plan is to use my bow to get a bull next week and use my rifle to get a buck the third week of October. As we all know, things don't always go as planned. However, I can't wait for the adventure.

 

[11C50]

10 days in Wyoming for both antelope and mule deer, then home just in time for white tail rut archery, followed closely by white tail gun season. Possible white tail muzzleloader after that if the freezer isn't full. Then it's off to Devils Lake North Dakota for walleye ice fishing, then I'll catch my breath.

 

[Colorado Cowboy]

Guess I'll weigh in too. Packing for my trip next Thur. I'll drive about 70 miles and set up camp in unit 70 where I have a M/L cow tag. Been scouting the area for a couple of months and saw quite a few bears, so I have a bear tag too. I actually screwed up and put the wrong unit for this hunt, but it shows lots of promise, just don't know how many other hunters I'll encounter.

I also have a 4th season deer tag for the same unit, which was my primary focus. This will be a really primo hunt as there are only 40 tags for this one. It is prime winter habitat for the deer.

Good Luck to everyone...................

 

[RICMIC]

Sounds like a plan CC. I'll be heading out west on the 12th with a partner to backpack into the Wyoming Range for mule deer. I did a similar trip in 2011 and had a successful hunt, but am hoping for the stars to align for the buck of a lifetime. I told my partner that he couldn't go with me unless he committed a couple weeks, and the arm twisting worked. After our return home I will be reconfiguring for a solo pronghorn hunt. This is my first loper hunt, and will take whatever time is needed. Sometimes it's great being retired. Good luck all.

 

[Extractor]

Heading to Saskatchewan on the 7th for black bear hunt and northern and walleye fishing. Back for a day, then up northern Wisconsin with a friends bear hunt, back to work until 9th of October and then out to Wyoming for antelope. Open water layout boat duck hunting late October and November until Wisconsin deer rifle and the muzzleloader seasons. Back to work until sturgeon spearing in February and then spring turkey in April and May. Good luck everyone and be safe.
