waterfowl hunting or deer hunting

catfisherman23 · 09-02-2007, 12:09 AM

ok guys big question here not to offend anyone by no means.... Why is it that waterfowl hunting seems to be more of an appeal than big game hunting? I do both but do a lot more less waterfowl hunting. Is it more fun or more comradere?

I didn't start deer hunting until about 6 years ago when a college buddy got me into it. I'm skipping the rifle season this year because that week was a hella push of fowl the last two years and I missed all of it because I was sitting in a box in some trees watching them fly over. It's pretty straight forward to me. I spend most of my time sitting in a tree waiting for a deer thinking about waterfowl but I've never been sitting in a decoy spread thinking about deer.

Oh, its just personal preference. I love both, but prefer big game hunting.

We all have our reasons why we prefer one over the other, none of them are wrong.

I remember two years ago in Oklahoma I decided to go duck hunting instead of deer hunting, for whatever reason the deer were moving full force that day and we saw deer everywhere while out ducking. I almost cried that I wasn't sitting in a deer stand!

I've never had anyone take me waterfowling. No one in my family did it, and when I got older none of my friends did either. So just a big game hunter here. Don't know if I could afford both, this archery stuff is spendy!

I agree with Commando. When I was deer hunting during muzzle loader season last year, 3 of my friends were 1/2 mile away duck hunting. I sat there for a couple of hours watching deer and could here them shooting. I finally told myself I'm just going to shoot the next deer that comes near me so I could duck hunt. Well long story short, after duck hunting I took a 4 wheeler to find my deer. I found it and threw it into the back of the 4 wheeler by myself like a sack of potatoes. That's right....not very big at all.

But it sure was tender.

I will Muzzle Hunt for sure however the rifle stays in the cabinet this year. To many Snows coming through the last 2 years on Rifle opener. My Muzzleloader will drop the first big Deer I see. Cant waste any Waterfowl time.

I usually duck hunt the mornings and then head out for deer in the evenings.
