PRDATR Report post Posted December 26, 2014 For the past 15 years my buddy and I always do a New Year's Day quail hunt. One year, I remember we got up super early grabbed our gear and headed out to 36A off of Sasabe Hwy, got out and instantly heard quail clucking/calling. Gonna be a good day, right. As I grab my gun case and start to pull it out I let out the loudest expletive ever.....it was my 300 win mag. Loaded back up & drove back to Tucson and then proceeded to 37A. Day ended well, as do they all when you are out hunting for whatever. My nephew texted me a week or so ago saying my BIL had just called him to say he drove Upstate from Long Island to go deer hunting and when he got there he opened his gun case only to see his shotgun. He and I got a pretty good chuckle over that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't trade Christmas morning with my family for the pursuit of a 200" mule deer. id take the 200" and show up late. but i dont have kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted December 26, 2014 What is worse is getting home and finding your gun case empty. My Buddy left a Browning Double Auto on the ground where we were hunting. We went back and it was gone. Never have been able to hunt any holidays except New Years and my Birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't hunt on Christmas day, but Imagine it would be a good day for solitude in the outdoors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkaholic Report post Posted December 26, 2014 I've had a few Christmas Eve Day hunts go wrong and missed Christmas eve- 1- deer hunting in the Haraqualas- dead battery -cables corroded off-not my truck - we got home after 10- had to walked 3 miles to highway - walked another 4 along US 60 nobody wanted to pickup 2 camo'd out guys - go figure? after calling and getting a tow service to actually go on a off road trip up the mtn . to jump the battery.$200 - I wasn't real happy but we got home safe. 2 - Duck hunting on pleasant - before new dam - boat ran out of gas - paddled from humbug/ agau fria river entrance to west side of pleasant . like 4 miles . we spotted a campfire ,an old couple was fishing, we got a gallon of gas and made it home at like 10 so I'm not really allowed to go out hunting on Christmas Eve Day anymore but Christmas Day and New Yrs are fair game - lol taken lots of different game over the yrs on New Years Day because lots of hunter probably partied a little to much on the Eve - an fewer were out hunting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
