Deer hunting on base
« on: September 11, 2009, 10:58:36 AM »
Well, I passed my proficiency test to qualify to hunt here on Fairchild AFB.  Had to put 3 arrows in a paper plate at 30 yards.  Pretty difficult, I know.  :chuckle:  There is a lot more area open than I though.  Pretty much the entire south side of the base is open from the 16th until the 25th.  There weren't very many people that showed up, about 15.  That's good since if there was a lot of people we would get assigned zones and what days we could be out there to minimize crowding.  With so few people, we get to hunt wherever we want within the open area, whenver we want.  Can't wait to get a crack at some of the bruisers I know are out there.

hopefully they attached the cheap brand paper plates to the deer.  Wouldn't want to see people wasting money and shooting the chinette brand. :P
good luck to you.

They only do it once.  It's open to anybody who can get on base, AD, guard, reserve, retired, or contractor.  We're still waiting for the base commander to approve it.  Hope he does it soon.  It opens Wednesday!

I got that to, right after I replied.  They said at the shoot last week that it was the only shoot.  :dunno:

Weird.  Sorry I missed you at the fair.  Donkey didn't want to load and so I ended up being behind schedule and then it was a nightmare trying to get the trailer onto the fairgrounds!
