I am going to simply put it these way. I have a new house and hunting licenses is not in the budget.

guess i am going to have to use the time at the range this fall


ps, if I did not cast my own boolits, i would not be able to go shooting either.

There are a lot of ways to cut expenses or lower the budget, not purchasing hunting licenses for me will never be one of them.
I have a hard time waiting for hunting season to get here. To think about not hunting would be more than I could handle. Good luck with your decision

I have thought of skipping deer season myself Corey. Only because the deer herd around the house is so depleted, its not hardly worth hunting the property, and I am too spoiled to travel to southern Wi to deer hunt. Besides, I have shot a ton of deer in my life. If I don't kill one more, the world will not end for me. Although I might miss being out in the woods. But then, nothing says I can't take my blind out there, set it up and just go out and watch the woods move around me.

we have our budget cut as far as it can go.

the only way I will go hunting this year, if i get a new privet land to hunt on, the one i been hunting on for years has gone bow only.

dave, you can go and take care of some tree rats with your 22.

fact of the matter, I could go and do the same thing lol. but i have not small game hunted in 12yrs.

I copied part of my last reply on another site about the same subject matter.

Nothing wrong with a private land hunt. I failed in the the regular deer draw, but I still have the option for a PL hunt. So, i'm going to take it.

Better than not hunting for deer this year. I enjoy being out there, and have fun whether I get a kill or not.

I'm thinking of using a PRB in the MR for more challenge, and will have to stay in bow range.

You can do something like that to make it more interesting.

muley, I thought you got a wolf, or was it the standard accura, or was it a lyman.

so confussed

I have a Wolf which i'll be selling when I get the MR. I sold the GPR, because I didn't really like a flint, but had to try one. I haven't had an Accura V2 in quite awhile.

I usually just have one gun at a time. If I buy one. It means I just sold one. It's a financial thingy.

that is why am converting my 6-1mm to 1/4-28 threaded nipples. I found a gunshop that is selling 1/4-28 for $3.99, as norm for them, they will take $.50 off the price. by the time you add shipping in at other places. that is an savings and supports locals.

they don't sell 6-1mm at that price if they have any in stock.

I cant imagine not hunting for a season. Thats is something I look forward to the entire year. The thought of being out in a tree on a cool frosty morning. MMMMM I'm getting the urge to rub my head on a tree. Good luck Corey.
