Dove season opens next weekend I'll get to try my new Benelli out....I went to the skeet range once and have shot it around my house...I think it will be a blast. The farmer said there were more birds flying this year than last and we shot almost non stop last year!!!

Then we move on to Archery Season for deer the next Saturday.

Hopefully it will be a good time as long as the heat doesn't kill me....

who else is getting ready?

 

[ptsmith24]

I wouldn't mind trying out some form of hunting. I'm working on the hunter certification thing now. By the way, what's the mag cap in GA for hunting?

 

[luke0927]

3 for upland and water fowl....and as far as big game im not sure ive always just had my 5 rd clip for my 30_06 or my .280 for some reason 10 rings a bell in my head but im not sure if there is one.....I will check the regs later and update if someone doesnt chime in first.

Not sure if you are any where around me but im always intrested in taking someone hunting that wants to get involved.

Can even do a bird hunt one day.....we can go upto the plantation and we can do a quail, chuckar, or Pheasnet hunt. Ive got my bird dogs.

I also deer hunt, we have hogs too (but haven't seen any in a while)

I'm always up for wing shooting. Missed the rut last year for deer hunting. If anyone's got a boat, my wife's folks have a place on Lake Seminole; we can talk about forming a hunting party.

How big a boat i have access to a small 70 HP little cruiser......you could still shoot out of it though.....

 

[ptsmith24]

I'm a pretty good ways from you, luke. I don't really have a hunting rifle, per se. I guess it would look funny with an AK or AR out there, but you can get 5 and 10 round magazines for them (AK for sure, not 100% on the AR).

Ive got all you need.....riffles, shotguns, bow what ever you feel like shooting!

I should've been more detailed. Whatever boat we have for this venture, one of the requirements is to camouflage it... so the larger the boat, the more camo required... I'm assuming this is a pontoon boat? Could be ideal... like a floating duck blind... some ripped canvas with vegetation zip-tied could possibly do the trick... if there's a top on it, we could remove it... hmmm... options, I like them

 

[luke0927]

No its not ponton...I'm not a big boater is more or less just a crusier that has two seats in the back where you sit and steer then on the bow you have a the beench seat where you can stand it can hold 4-5 people....Like we do up in Lake Lanier you just see the ducks and geese in the cove and blaze in kill the motor and shoot when the start flying!!! You can't shoot with the motor running.

I also believe you can't shoot while still in motion that resulted from being under power....

I concur with Gunny on this. The guide I was with last year was operating under this guideline.

I'll check the literature and get back on this.

 

[GAGunOwner]

I thought that there was no mag. capacity limit for hunting in GA except for shotguns?

This is true.

 

[ptsmith24]

So I can finally put that 50 round magazine to use. 8)

Here you go.

I wouldn't mind trying out some form of hunting. I'm working on the hunter certification thing now. By the way, what's the mag cap in GA for hunting?

Bye the way it looks like you have to be born before 1961 in order not to take the hunters safety course. I would recommend it any way.
:rifle:

 

[ptsmith24]

Yea, I was born in 1986.

 

[ptsmith24]

I'm finally finished with the online part. Now I have to bring my printed results for a review and test session in Portal a week from Friday. The session is 2 hours long. The full course (classroom only, instead of the online part, looks like it would be 10 hours on a Saturday..no thanks).

 

[GAGunOwner]

Silencers: Silencers may not be used for hunting.

:x
Is this a law or regulation?

 

[Sine Nomen]

I'm thinking of taking up Cougar hunting. Anyone like to join me?
