shooting a shotgun?

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

I just wonder if anyone knows if it's safe or not......Spring turkey season is almost here and I keep forgetting to ask.....so anyone else shot guns while pregnant?

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

Amen to that I keep telling myself one day mine will so far no luck......he's a good looking male if I can remember I'll put up pics of my coondogs tomorrow.

[chickymama]

I put a pic of my male up. It takes for ever on dial up! Like 20 mins.! Ok my house isn't cleaning it's self I have to quit goofin around. I pm you.

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

that's what my 20 gague is a browning bsp special....I love it.... and my 12 is a wing master......I am the secretary and treasurer of the Butler County Coon Club and my DH is the president he only does it cause I'm such a Coon hunting aholic....I didin't think I'd be the killing type but long as we use the meat I don't feel bad.  And I love rabbit hunting we have a tri colored beagle and a Blue tick her pic is in my profile too.....my coonhounds are also show dogs....my female is a grand show champion and my male is a champion show male I'll have to get pics up......I love my dogs to death.....And the camping deal I'm sure we'll still do we have a camper so it's kinda like cheating and calling it camping.....and the tractor is gonna be a problem if it ever quits raining we have hay , corn and beans to plant so guess DH will have to hire someone during planting and harvest season......

[chickymama]

Hey, I have 2 black and tan coonhounds and a bluetick beagle!!! (There's a pic of her in my photos) I tryed hunting when Dh and I first got together but I'm just not a killer, I'd feel awful every time. So, I'll just leave that part to him. I like to go along coon and rabbit hunting just to see my dogs in action, I'm so proud of them! I also have a beautiful fancy in graved Browning 20gauge shot gun to pass down to my children if they decide to hunt. about turkey hunting I never went. My DH drives me CRAZY with the dang calls though!

We all love fishing! We have a lake boat and a river boat (jet motor) my 4yrDD has been talking about fishing and camping at the river for a month now. I'll go for the day but I don't think I'll be sleeping on the ground in a tent this year!! (at least I hope not).....No tractor??? What's up with that?? Some of us girl have corn to plant.

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

LOL I have Redbone Coonhounds and Beagles....and my Female Redbone has been wearing the shock coller here lately to get her broke off deer.......we have 25 acres but 20 is just field......but I love it .....we have big ditch running down the back and a creek on the right

[Tennesseegirl]

yea.. browneyes.. I love lots of land and woods!! We have 2/3 acres in the back with woods and a creek/river, that forks. I just love it. wow... 20 acres I would be in la la land.. sounds really nice.
lol I have two springer spaniels.. wold luv to go hunting with you guys.. lol I just take em to the creek to swim and the woods to hike.. no fun with me.. hunting wise.. lol when they are in the woods the tails are no stop the whole time. lol although I have one that tries to chase the deer. ugh...

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

just send me a PM of what he has DH might be interested........I'm ready for turkey season but it doesn't start here til April 21 and they are already gobbling so I doubt it will be a good season

[jbrooks39]

my husband loved it when i told him about this post..lol..he is a big time hunter and cant wait for turkey season,i dont go hunting but will eat whatever he gets,he wanted me to ask you if you or anyone else is interested in buying a scope? im not sure what it is or the kind but if your interested,let me know,leave me a message.he has other hunting stuff for sale also.

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

LOL......I too love the deer in my field we have 20 acres of just field and 5 acres of woods and our neighbor has 10 acres of wood right next door so we have alot of wild life but I'd never kill our pets around the house we go out in BFE to hunt......

Oh called my Dr office and they said as long as the gun doesn't have a hard kick it should be ok but no 4 wheeling and no more riding with DH in the big trucks or on the tractor.....

[Tennesseegirl]

lol... Thank God your not posting pics!!! lol lol... lol...
my back yard is full of deer!!! smile I feed them and have saltblocks and fresh water.. ha ha I also plant purple clover.. but I have spoild them with corn.. so they really dont touch the clover.
Have done it for many years. They will practally come right up to you now.
I love outdoor too...  is garden/ Beach... lol..
and I have a mag pi... auto... for robbers...lol.. and with a hollow point.. just thought I would add... smile

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

yeah I used to have some pics of the one i got but I got a new computer so all those pics aren't on here any more....I didn't get one this last year....I never even got a good shot......I've still never got a rabbit but I can make a pump shotgun shoot like an automatic trying LOL  I've killed quite a few squirrels and a bunch of coon.....but still working on that darn turkey......them suckers are hard to shoot.....

[AshleysMom]

I only have a 20 gauge, but I do have a fishing pole and gear for every type of fish (salmon, steelhead, trout, stripers).

I'm not a big catch and release kind of gal.  If I hook it, I eat it.  

My DH has a gun collection, too.

Funny that some of you guys are also into the great outdoors stuff!

Brown Eyed - Have you ever shot a deer?  I've only shot at ducks (and missed I must add).

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

I like to shoot skeet but never actually gone to a range we just go in the back yard.....I'm pretty good at it......I only have a 20 gauge 12 gauge .22 and 30-06  Dh has every gun imaginable....it's harder for me to get guns cause I can't get an automatic I have to get lefty guns or they shoot the shells in my face.....OUCH!  DH loves his .357 mag

[marie1210]

I was wondering the same thing.  My dh and I love to go shooting but I haven't since I became pregnant.  I've avoided it because of the gun powder, lead, and noise.  I can't wait to get back to the range though.  I would avoid it but you can always check with your doctor.  I could see me now, 37 weeks, shooting a .357.  That would make the news!!  hehe

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

I love to hunt and fish probably more than my hubby.....but there's just something about being in the  outdoors that just calms any problem I have......we throw back the little fish but keep the good size to eat....and for hunting we don't kill anything we don't eat......

yeah my tummy's huge no exagerating.....

Lately the medical problems have been alot less Thank GOD

[Tennesseegirl]

Im going to tell them... momma kills bambi. lol..
your just alittle firecracker arent you brown eyes. lol.. although I do like to fish. ha ha I throw them bach in though.
I havent met any women that liked to hunt. you learn something new every day.. ashleysmom too.. wow..smile
great photos.. you really are getting a belly at such a early time in your prego..wow..I thought maybe you were like vsent and blew it up alittle.. heeee heeee. really cute!!! look like everything has calmed down for you medical wise.. thank goodness!! thanks for sharing the peek.awww good to see the babies are growing.

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

now fishing I'm gonna still get some of that in but I'll probably miss turkey season but when deer season gets here well grandma is gonna get to baby sit.....can't miss that.....

[AshleysMom]

Ha.  I'm glad you asked this.

I was going to go duck hunting with DH and opted not to at the last minute.  I was worried about getting stuck in the middle of nowhere and how loud it could be.

I also canceled our steelhead and salmon fishing trips.  I waited too long for anything to go wrong this time!

[Tennesseegirl]

yea... brown eyes..  
lol lol... you are so funny...got a giggle out of me.. thanks
personally... I dont think I would do it. the backfire is pretty tence. hell.. the last time I shot a gun it threw me on my butt.  15 years ago..learned really quick I have to relax.. ha ha.. but when I did get use to it. It still has a quick jerk to your body. You wouldnt want anything to get loose down there. oh just the thought.... I can fill the ligaments pulling... yea.. please dont do it...
Make it a "save a turkey day"  instead.
remember.... you have two others to worry about. we cant do the things we want. lol atleast for 9 months... heee heeee

[pertykitty]

haha girl you are too much, how fun to see you out there with your bump shooting turkeys haha

[melimeli]

I´d skip it... the sound alone..

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

yeah that's kinda what I was thinking but I guess it dosn't hurt to ask......

[tahariel]

You will probably want to check with your doctor. The kickback from the gun, along with the loud noise might not be recommended, especially since you have two little ones in there to care for. You may want to choose to skip hunting season this year.
