It has been about a month since deer season closed. Turkey season still a month away. Ice just came off so bass fishing isn't quite here yet. Ground is still frozen so can work up food plots. My buddies are begging me to go chase snows with them. But man that some work! Anyone else in a February funk?

I'm spending February shooting long distance. Very rewarding.
When do's your squirrel season open?
Hogs...always hog season...at least in Texas. Along with Axis, blackbuck, Fallow, Nilgai, etc...
Oh, yeah...fishing 12 months a year as well...

If it can make you feel better, there is about 4-5 feet of snow on the ground up here in Canada. I can't even imagine when my boat will be able go back in the water. Just sayin ... there is worst !Originally Posted by Babe Winkleworm
Prime time coyote hunting for me. It's breeding season.
There's always prairie dog shooting and coyote hunting. I do need to do some management on the K9 population so maybe I'll charge up the FoxPro and get after them.

Coyote, fox, rabbit, hogs, and coons are always chased in February. Coons are out of season but on your own property they are fair game. Egg eating bastages. If you haven't gone coon calling, try it. You'll become addicted.
Got some TSI to do in the woods as well. There is always something to do, oh and finish the basement.
I am direct seeding about 10,000 tree/shrub seeds (red oak oak,elm, service berry, elder berry, caragana) this spring. So one of my many projects it's to mow and till these areas in preparation to do this. Also removing all the cross fences on my property. I'd like to get a couple hog panel bale blinds built by turkey season. So there is plenty of work to do.

Crow hunting is a blast. That's what we're doing through February.
head south and I'll put you on some bass and some great Walleye fishing. No February blues here.
Had the Bass Boat out out yesterday for the second time this year. Put 59 Bass in the boat with a couple going a little over 4 lbs, Great Day. I love Texas
We are thinking of a spring break trip to Buchanan near Austin. Not sure if I want to drag the boat that far looking into a guide or maybe rent a fishing boat and just bring some tackle got any ideas stompy?

I try to work lots of hours this time of year to pay for all my habits the rest of the year...84 hours this week..
I've never been on Buchanan so I know nothing about it other than it has pretty clear water. As far as tackle Tx rig baby brush hogs, Senkos and Trick worms should work well there, Swimbaits too. Get on some windy points and Rattle Traps and Square Bills will do good. You can always look on the Texas Fishing Forum, I'm sure there's some Buchanan advise there, may have to do a search though.
Same here. Love it!
