Harold,

The first deer I ever harvested was at Oakmulgee with a bow.  A friend of
mine's family owned a small cabin and @ 40 acres around the Payne Lake area.
We would go down 3 or 4 days before the gun hunts and bow hunt/scout for the
gun hunting.  I always loved that area!

If you go to this link within my homepage, it has a picture of that old
cabin and the deer.  Those were the good-ole days!

Good Luck,

Next Saturday is opening of the gun season. I have a couple of places picked out to hunt. Maybe with some luck I can get a deer. How's everybody else prepared for opening day?

 

Take care,

This 30-06 Ruger is a really good shooter. I couldn't believe how
good it did after I had the accuracy work done to it. I had thought
about also having it glass bedded when I had the trigger set and the
barrel floated, but the gunsmith wanted me to try it before doing
any more work to it and see. He said it would do good enough with
what was done and it did. I have two 30-06's and my shoulder is in
poor shape, so I thought that I would trade one for a lighter
caliber to hunt with. My other 30-06 has a longer barrel and is a
little heavier, so it doesn't kick quite as bad. The 7mm/08 or 257
Roberts would be better on my shoulder and still shoot fair enough
for me.

I would imagine that your 7mm Ruger must have been light due to the
composite stock. Wasn't that stock lighter than a wooden one? That
could have been why it kicked.

James

Is that the "Sportsman Exchange" in downtown Gadsden?

Subject: [Alabamahunting] Accurized 30-06

I have a accurized bolt action M-77 Ruger 30-06 that has only been shot less than 20 times. The trigger has been set by a gunsmith to 3 1/2 pounds of pull and the barrel has been floated by the same gunsmith. This rifle will shoot a 100 yard group at 3/4 inch or under depending on the shooter. I would like to trade it for a 7mm/08 bolt action rifle as I need a caliber that doesn't have as much kick as the 30-06 due to my shoulder condition. I would also consider a .257 Roberts caliber. If you have either of those calibers and want a really accurate rifle, let me know.

Harold, where are you going to hunt this year? Did you check into
that club you told me about at Piedmont?

James

Here's a pretty reasonable discussion about pistols and bears.

read bear article

http://www.riflemagazine.com/magazine/article.cfm?id=48&tocid=627

As I have a hunting website listed on the Internet, I get a lot of
email from different sources. This one was sent to me yesterday, so
I,m posting it here. If I had 1000 bucks, I would probably use it on
this trip.

===========================================================
If you hunt with black powder or a bow you should read this.

Bordering the New River for over two miles and divided almost evenly
between Mercer county West Virginia and Giles county Virginia are
over 2000 acres of private mountain wilderness known as  "Bear
Mountain Wilderness Resort"

Bear Mountain was developed to cater to people who vacation with
their horses to trail ride and enjoy the wilderness. From March to
the end of September this is its business.

From this October to January Bear Mountain is going to offer a
select few hunters the opportunity of a life time. Hunt guided or
semi guided, your choice, from Sunday to Sunday staying in our 17000
sq ft log lodge in two room suites with private bath, all meals
provided. This is only for bow or black powder which is all we
allow, you can hunt both states if you like and you can fill your
limit in both states. The cost is 1000 dollars per hunter and there
will only be 30 hunts available.

There are only going to be five hunters a week allowed to hunt, that
's right , a tract of land 2 miles by three miles and only five
people hunting it while you are there, and only five staying at the
lodge. You can fit five people in the fire place of the lodge. To be
one of the 30 you are going to have to be quick in making your
reservation. Once we have five reservations for a week that's it,
you missed your opportunity for that week.

The thousand dollars covers your stay in one of the lodges suites,
three meals a day, the use of our walk in coolers, hunting stands
and your guide.

There is an additional charge if you wish to have your deer dressed
and processed for you. Mounting will also be available. Out of state
hunting licenses can be had by going to our site and following the
links.

Short of tying a deer to a stake and giving you six days to shoot at
him no, one can guarantee a successful hunt and if you got it that
way it wouldn't be worth having.

I am a hunter and before we decided to allow private hunts and to
restrict it to bow and black powder, I restricted my self to hunting
deer with a side arm.

Along this property are rich fertile river bottoms planted in corn
and clover, I personally have seen as many as fifty deer at night in
one of our fields along the river.  If you can hunt you can fill
your limits.

If you are interest go to www.deer-turkey-hunting.com   Then call
Mary Conely she will be more than happy to answer any question and
make your reservations. Remember there are only 30 hunts available,
to get in on this you may have to act on it right now.

At your own risk and under some guidelines you may bring your own
personal four wheeler if you wish, but its for hunting purposes
only.

Hi,

I just started this Alabama hunting list for anyone that likes to
talk hunting. Feel free to post messages giving your tips on hunting
or helping someone to find a place to hunt. We'd like to hear of your
hunting experiences, where a good management area is and what part of
it is better than other parts. You might want to help someone decide
on which hunting equipment to use or buy or just help sight in a
scope or find a place to shoot.

Thanks!

James Roberts
