I actually enjoyed myself out there. I will be doing it again next season.

Man, ever since I got my new summit goliath, all I want to do is move around. I have to keep telling myself to stay and be patient, but my will to move always overcomes my smarter side.

Hello guys/gals.
Based on the recent topic in the hunting forum, I have a newby question.
Say you are hunting on public land and you have done your scouting and had a couple places picked out. You head to your first place, hunt for a couple hours then pick you stuff up to move to your second place. Say you pass by another hunter, obviously upsetting him. What should you have done in this situation? Should you stay in your first spot all day even though you aren't seeing anything or do you freely move about to your next spot.
The reason I ask, I was hunting at Fort Harrison Monday and Tuesday and I moved around a couple times cause I didn't feel I was in a really good spot. Now I did not scout the area, so I didn't really know where to go, except for what TurkeyScout had told me. Both days I was there, I only saw one other hunter, so it really didn't matter. Actually, the other hunter was just walking to his spot as well.
I think next year I am going to take the approach of go all the way to the back and let other hunters push them to me. HA HA!
Thanks for the info. Mike

I am a newby to hunting so I am still learning and googling the crap out of hunting. So here is the question that I am seeing conflicting results on. Do deer move while it is raining or do they just bed down until favorable conditions?
Thanks. Mike

Hello all.
I am Mike Adkins, I live in Indy on the west side, actually just moved here from Zionsville. This is my second year hunting, I only hunt with a bow. Last year I only took one shot, I wouldn't even count it as a shot due to forgetting my release at the house. That will be the last time I ever do that. The release is strapped to my bow now.
Sitting in the same spot as I was last year when I took the shot I was able to shoot again and hit the doe in the heart. She ran about 80 yards and dropped. What a great day!
As far as personal life... I am married, have a 3 year old boy, and work as a programmer for the Army National Guard.
I think that is about it. I am happy to be part of the forum. Now that I am hooked on this hunting stuff, I am sure you will see a lot of me.
Mike

I work over at DFAS so no big deal if they don't do drawings or I don't get selected, I can just go to work.
Again, thanks for the info.
Mike

Hello.
I would love to hunt Fort Harrison State Park on Nov 28 or 29 if anyone has a spot open. I would be willing to pay a bit for the chance.
Thanks. Mike
