Any of you hunt on Christmas?

I was planning on it, but the weather is too bad to get out.

I don't hunt on Sundays or Christmas. It is just a personal decision I made years ago and have stuck with it all of my life. Now thanksgiving, that is another story as I grew up hunting pheasants and rabbits every Thanksgiving morning. :idunno:

I just can't bring myself to kill anything on the day that our Savior was born. It's a personal thing for me. I have nothing against it if someone else wants to hunt on Christmas day.

Once back when I was a kid, (high school)I shot a deer and dad and I hung it in the tree by the house (Dec 24th). All the little kids in the neighborhood came running over. Dad told them it was one of santa's reindeer. Couple kids ran home crying and mother got a nasty phone call from an upset mother. Dad and I eat at the pool hall that afternoon. As dad said there was no way we were going to get anything at home until mother calmed down. When you are 80 years old and sitting around the coffee table down town you have to have some stories to tell. Those who never did anything in their youth have to just sit there and listen. I have my share of stories and some of yours too.

Here in Illinois we can't hunt deer on Christmas, unless it's with bow. But if I could I would. Christmas day I was chopping wood with my 5 year old along. I suppose if deer season was open I'd dress him in blaze orange and sneek into the deer woods.

No hunting on Sunday here in the PRoM. Today we are going to see some family, and pay respects to my late Father-in-Law, but tomorrow, and Wednesday..., Yep I'm going out.

For many years, I would grab a gun & go for a walk for an hour or so in the woods on Christmas afternoon. Carrying the gun was more of an "excuse" to be out there. I was really out there just to spend some quiet time reflecting on good times & what the good Lord has provided us with. I never did kill anything during that walk.
