_X7 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 What is patterning buckshot? :laughing:It is a scatter gun it goes every where. Wow, really? You'd be surprised how different guns with different chokes throw different brands and sizes of buckshot. You pattern turkey loads don't you? Every responsible hunter who uses buckshot should see how it patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleM Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 BFD. I'm sure lots of bowhunters do the same, just can't hear them ................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenedictGomez Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Who would do that? Procrastination. Talked to a guy tonight who went to sight his shotgun in at the Clinton WMA, and he said it was an absolute zoo. Like Black Friday at Walmart.

Huntfree77 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Totally agree. My son was bowhunting in a blind with me tonight and not 1, but over a dozen slug shots about 1/2 mile away from 415-445 until it was nearly dark. Can't make this stuff up before opening day....

Live to Hunt Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Gave up hunting shotgun many years ago because of all the nonsense. Opening day of gun season in every state is a mess. I used to think it was just NJ until I started hunting and traveling to other states to hunt. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintail Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Look at it this way, target shooting may be the only thing some folks will have in a few years with the way the deer numbers are going...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piney commando Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yup same crap every season and I'm sure the few public ranges that are left are completely trashed. Lazy slobs can't even pick up there spent shells, makes me sick!! Idiot slob Hunter"I have a great idea lets bring our old flat screen to the range and we can use that as a target!'" You can't fix stupid!! Good luck out there be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenedictGomez Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Look at it this way, target shooting may be the only thing some folks will have in a few years with the way the deer numbers are going...... My prediction is the harvest will be way up this year, and back to the recent historical norms. It's been a great year so far. If you're not seeing deer....... you're doing it wrong.

electric10162 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Jack.... separation of the actual hunters and yo buckers! One of the reasons I stopped hunting public land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecil973 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Because of all this crap and the fact that where I hunt during six day I'm lucky to get a parking spot but during all the bow seasons it's just me and a small group of guys I know I didn't hunt six day for the last 3 years Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Chasing the deer that eat your bushes since 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Horns Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Gave up hunting shotgun many years ago because of all the nonsense. Opening day of gun season in every state is a mess. I used to think it was just NJ until I started hunting and traveling to other states to hunt. I have hunted PA and OH on the opening of gun season and was turned off to both. I hunted state land up around Promised Land in PA and when it got light it was like a bunch of orange Christmas lights around the woods. I don't know if I could have shot a deer if I saw one. By Wednesday it was a ghost town. I do hunt PA during archery season and it's a whole different world. We see lots of deer and do very well. We hardly ever see another hunter during the archery season. I also hunted OH a few years ago. We were in Hocking county just outside of Athens. The first day was like WWII then it died off mid week. I shot a doe on private land and did see a nice buck on the last day on state land but couldn't get a shot. When I brought my doe to the check station it was mostly does and a few small bucks. I was very surprised at the amount of small bucks taken. Everyone complains about not letting deer grow in NJ but I witnessed the same thing in the woods of SE Ohio where it is supposed to be different.
