Eric Ford+FollowHow do you handle your hunt?🥩Curious how other hunters handle their game. Do you field dress and quarter it yourself, or take it somewhere to process? Do you freeze the meat, make jerky, or just keep the prime cuts? Also—how do you deal with the remains? Leave it for the birds or haul it out? Would love to hear how others do it. #hunting #EthicalHunting #GameProcessing #WildGameMeat137Share
paulcarol+FollowIs hunting helping or hurting wildlife?Always wondered—do hunting and conservation actually go hand in hand, or are they in conflict? Curious how others see it, especially with all the habitat work hunters do.🤔 #hunting #WildlifeManagement #ConservationFacts #HuntingEthics3041Share
Eric Ford+FollowTurkey hunting rules got me confused! 🦃U.S. turkey hunting is super strict - each state has different permit and license requirements. Anyone else overwhelmed by all the regulations? #hunting #turkeyhunting #permits #regulations #confused166Share
bushjill+FollowDog hunting coyotes: what actually worksI’ve been looking into using dogs for coyote hunting and found two main approaches folks seem to swear by: 1️⃣ Tolling - Dog acts as live decoy, triggers territorial response and brings coyotes into shooting range. Pairs well with distress calls. 2️⃣ Pursuit - Fast breeds like greyhounds chase them down in open country. Need big flat terrain where speed matters most. Both sound effective in the right conditions, but I’d love to hear from folks who’ve actually done it. What’s worked best for you? #hunting #HuntingDogs #CoyoteHunting #OutdoorLife #FieldSports129Share
lolson+Followy'all, the south is winning the mature buck gameUsed to think the Midwest was the go-to for older bucks, but new data says the South is where it’s at. Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Louisiana hunters are harvesting the highest percentage of 3½+ year old bucks in the country. Oklahoma tops the list with a whopping 85% mature bucks in harvest! Maybe it's time to plan that Southern hunting trip... #hunting #deerhunting #southernhunting #whitetails00Share
lolson+FollowCan deer survive a shoulder shot?Hit a deer in the shoulder this morning and it ran off. Been wondering if it'll make it or if I should keep tracking. Anyone have experience with shoulder shots? #hunting #deerhunting1439Share
Adam Parker+FollowI call bullshit 🤣 I kill several deer each while sitting next to a tree with my thermos of coffee eating my chicken biscuit. In jeans and a hoodie or a flannel. Next slide. #Hunting 146Share
paulcarol+FollowYour ears are better than your eyes for huntingBeen thinking about this lately during early sits—sometimes I swear my ears catch more than my eyes ever do. Just the other day I picked up a single twig snap from 50 yards away while daydreaming with my eyes closed. Anyone else rely more on sound than sight out there? #hunting #huntingtips #outdoors 715Share
hodebra+FollowSunday Hunting Freedom! PA Ban FINALLY Gone!Holy cow, Governor Shapiro just signed the bill - Pennsylvania's Sunday hunting ban is officially GONE! 🙌 As a PA hunter, I'm honestly pumped about this. We went from only 3 Sundays a year to potentially having Sunday hunting during most seasons (Game Commission gets to decide starting September). This is huge for those of us with crazy work schedules. Now I can actually take my kids out on weekends without burning vacation days. Plus with our deer population exploding and farmers losing crops, we need all the hunting pressure we can get. The bill runs for 5 years, so hopefully we prove Sunday hunting works and makes it permanent. Rep. Mandy Steele nailed it - this benefits hunters, farmers, AND forest health. Anyone else in PA excited about this? Which seasons are you hoping get Sunday approval first? #hunting #PennsylvaniaHunting #SundayHunting #deerseason01Share
tyler79+FollowMy buddy asked me which gun for elk huntBeen reorganizing my gear for the season and thought I’d share what calibers I keep reaching for, depending on what I’m hunting: 🦌 Whitetail: .308 Win is my bread and butter - dropped dozens of deer with it. .30-06 and .243 Win are also money. For brush hunting, .350 Legend is underrated. 🐿️ Squirrels: .22 LR for precision, 20 GA for fun 🐰 Rabbits: usually a 20 GA or .410 🐺 Coyotes: .223/5.56 - flat shooting and fur-friendly. 🦬 Elk: Don't mess around here. 300 Win Mag or 7mm Rem Mag will punch through those big shoulders. Curious what others are using—do you stick to one all-around rifle, or switch it up by species? #hunting #HuntingTips #HuntingCalibers19494Share
