paulcarol+FollowWhy I still hunt with my first rifleI was cleaning out my safe the other day and picked up the old .270 I’ve used since my first deer season. Got me thinking—no matter how many rifles I try, I always come back to this one. It’s not the most advanced, but it’s reliable, and the memories it carries are worth more than any upgrade. Anyone else feel the same about their first deer rifle? Or have you moved on to something newer? #hunting #huntinggear #deerSeason 389140Share
Danielle White+FollowExtra deer tags up for grabs in WisconsinHunters in Wisconsin have a new shot at scoring bonus antlerless deer tags this season, with sales kicking off August 18. These tags are limited—just one per person per day until they’re gone—and prices are pretty reasonable: $12 for residents, $20 for non-residents, and only $5 for kids 11 and under. The tags are released by zone on different days, so planning ahead is key. With demand always high, especially in certain areas, what’s your strategy for snagging a tag this year? Anyone have tips for navigating the virtual queue? #News #WisconsinHunting #DeerSeason00Share
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
jortiz+Follow🦌 First year hunting in SC- here's my planNew hunter in SC here! Figured I'd share my approach so far: Started by picking my game zone, then e-scouted using Garmin Explore app (free version rocks). Made several actual scouting trips to find tracks, bedding areas, and droppings. Now I've got solid spots mapped out for deer and bear season! Plan is to hunt hard, then reflect after season ends on what worked and what didn't for next year. Any other newbies doing similar prep? #hunting #FirstTimeHunter #SCOutdoors #DeerSeason #HuntingPrep00Share
tyler79+FollowIs a Hang-On Tree Stand Still the Best Option?Been ground hunting for years but finally made the switch to elevated positions this season. Man, wish I'd done this sooner! That extra height gets you above so many issues - wind swirls, eye-level movement that spooks deer, scent problems. Since I hunt mostly public land, portable hang-on stands are perfect. Can pack them in and out same day without worrying about theft. The mobility is huge too - found a better tree 50 yards away? Just move your setup. Anyone else make the switch from ground to elevated hunting? #hunting #HuntingTips #TreeStand #DeerSeason84Share
bushjill+FollowWhy I skip archery season (Even though everyone says I'm crazy)Look, I get it - September archery in Colorado is basically hunting heaven. Perfect weather, rutting elk, and way more time in the woods. But here's my honest take: I'm not retired, and dropping serious cash on gear that makes harvesting harder just doesn't fit my reality. I've found my sweet spot with muzzleloader season instead. Nine days of hunting during the rut, easier tag draws in my favorite areas, and gear that won't break the bank. Sure, it's shorter than archery's month-long window, but I'd rather have quality weekends than stress about utilizing a full September when work calls. Sometimes the "less popular" choice is actually the smarter one for your situation. What's your take - do you chase the popular seasons or find your own path? #Hunting #ColoradoHunting #DeerSeason #Outdoors 72Share
