Deer Hunting Anyone???

I'm sure some have seen it but I don't recall seeing any hunting threads here before, this was a pic recently sent to me...let's see or hear yourdeer stories!<br><br>Colin<br><br><br><br>Pic removed, but please continue with the stories.<br>

Nice arrow placement!! What's the story behind the picture?<br><br>This is nice:<br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhXwJbULrvw&amp;feature=related"></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhXwJbULrvw&amp;feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/wa...ULrvw&amp;feature=related</a>

Andy, kindly back off. We're not on here 24/7 and we don't always get to every single thread.<br>That's why there's a "report post" button under everyone's avatar. <br>You also know how to Yuku a mod, so PLEASE contact us directly instead of using someone's thread.<br>Thanks!<br><br><br>

Compared to that chemical and hormone filled poison slop found on grocery shelves,it's a no-brainer as to what's superior. As far as deer go, we got'em comin' out our butts around here. They cause 100s or 1000s of caraccidents on the roads in Ontario, and particularly on high traffic roads in Southern Ontario, and probably can't be hunted enough to keep populationsdown. I've hit 2 of them in my life. One dead on at over 70 mph in mid air after it leaped outta nowhere, and one just a few years ago on a snowy road thatI didn't see after being passed by another car. He could have warned me but didn't and I nailed it in the head with the left front corner of my car,which caused damage including shaving off my side rear view mirror. I turned around to scoop up some free meat, but it ran off into the bush. So they can'tbe hunted enough to keep their numbers down. I've got nothing against hunting. Please accept my apology!<br><p>Andy<img height="15" src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/pacman.gif" width="15" alt="image"><br></p>

I live in WV, Deer jumping in front of your cars. Tramping through your yards. You have to dodge the carcasses on the highway. Then you are left contemplatingif you really would tie one to the front of your new Jeep, or if maybe you might have planned your hunt a little better.<br><br>I love venison. It's good stuff. I'm not even interested in mixing in sausage to kill the "wild" taste. The last one I took bow huntingruined me. I hunted all day and late in the evening I'm walking back to my car. Up on the bank above my car is a deer standing. Without too much detail, itwent down, rolled down the hill, right to my car.<br><br>I figured it would only be harder after that one and I haven't hunted since. Not because I have anything at all against it. I'm just too lazy to dragthe things out of the woods and butcher them. I'm always willing to take any extra meat yo uhave though.

Man........ That is my worst nightmare, to be cruising along and plow into one of those things on my motorcycle... I've seen what happens to my brothers onthe bikes and it ain't purty.

Why shoot anything that can't shoot back???????????

Ww....... Rare common ground with Pete here! I like it when the deers go wild and gore some clown, even the stakes a bit, sure beats the drunk guy in the deerblind a half mile away with the snipers special, yeah, that's some real hunting!!

My husband probably has a ton of them though!<br><br>

We finished our muzzle loader hunt Friday. 13 deer harvested,one tag left..that's a new record for our group.<br>I think we had 5 nice does,4 decent bucks, 2 button bucks,and 2 smaller does. <br> And we seen a lot more deer than what we got.<br><br>Since the winter weather has sunk in early here,there's still a fair bit of corn that's yet to be harvested. The deer we got were full of corn. Dangthings are harvesting more corn than we farmers.<br>We had some of Scotto's favorite the other day..some venison tenderloin..(back strap)..and it was pretty tasty.<br>They're more like a grain fed STEER than a wild gamey old thing.<br><br>The muzzle loaders we use are mainly .50cal rifles. I still use the old side hammer/percussion cap. Most others use In-lines now. Pretty impressive rifles.Break action,or bolt action w/removeable firing mechanism. They use 240 grain bullets, black powder pelletized loads,and shot gun primers. With scopes nowthey're going over 150 yards. Not quite high powered ranges yet..but better than what they used to be.<br><br>Still,they're muzzle loaders and are very subjected to the weather. Rain,snow dampens the powder or primer/cap,and misfires are not un common. I had onethis year myself.<br><br>Frank

Deer are part of the food chain, so we consume them. No brainer. At least game animals aren'tstuck in cages and sleeping in their fecal matter, or prodded and poked by ranchers...they have a good life until they die of lead poisoning...<br><br>Hey Frank, congrats on a great hunt this year! That sounds great, and I'll bet the meat is fantastic considering what they've been feeding on!

What I can't stand is 'Trophy Hunting'. If anyone's got a pic of a leaping trophy hunter withan arrow in his heart, by all means, please post it. Well maybe not, it might offend someone!<br><br><img height="15" src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/pacman.gif" width="15" alt="image">Around here, it's a severe offenceto hunt at night with a light. You can walk right up only feet away from a deer and bag it, but if ya get caught, it's game over for you. Personally Ifigure this logic is skewed if it's your intention to bag a few for food. Ya got a clean point blank shot, which is humane if anything, and no halfinjured animals go running off into the bush to die an agonizing death. <br><br><img height="15" src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/pacman.gif" width="15" alt="image">And Dave, there's nothing more Ilike seeing than a Matador with a horn up his or her butt, or through their eye, or those idiots running ahead of the bulls in that 'Running of theBulls' thing over in Italy. So called 'humans' can be the sickest critters of all. As a matter of fact, they are the only sick critters!<br><br>Andy<img height="15" src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/pacman.gif" width="15" alt="image">

Dead on Andy!!! I love the stuff like "When Animals Attack" shows, what are they supposed to do lay over?? The stupid clown that lived with thegrizzlies and got eaten?? That's what they do!! If ya wann trophy hunt, take on one of these bad boys on even ground, naked and with nothing but yer wits!!<br><br>BTW, Andy..... Tread carefully my man, I don't want ya tossed!!!

Sure they eat the meat, butwhat's the point? It's so much easier to take on Bambi with a freakin rifle. <br>

No different than fishing. Fishing is probably worse...I love fishing...<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image">

<blockquote> Sure they eat the meat, but what's the point?</blockquote><br><br>I'm really not trying to start something here. LOL<br><br>Doesn't your question answer itself?<br><br>Many people feed their families with deer meat. At least around here. Beef is expensive.<br>I'm not sure what makes them different than the person who stops off at McDonalds on the way home.

<blockquote> Not everyone cares to see fur, blood and death.</blockquote>Turn the channel or in this case hit the back button. That's what adults do.<br><br>My son-n-law was going to mount this buck from my back yard till he lost half his rack.

Jerky?? About a dollar down at 7/11. Sport or hobby?? Hunt something that has a chance, sniping from a shed from a mile away with a scope ain't sport,that's Lee Harvey Oswald stuff!! McDonalds burger?? SURE baby i'm all for that, but i'm not gonna shoot a standing cow and put it's head on mywall all for the sake of it's meat!!

<strong>My son-n-law was going to mount this buck from my back yard till he lost half his rack.</strong><br><br>That would make it harder to hold on.

<strong>SURE baby i'm all for that, but i'm not gonna shoot a standing cow and put it's head on my wall all for the sake of it'smeat!!</strong><br><br>But you'll let someone else do it for you. They don't die on their own down at the slaughter yard.

Yep, but i won't kill em' with a rifle cowering in some shed. You had it right, hunting with a hammer, ya get close enough, ya win, ya don't ya getgored, play it on an even field!! Hey Pete, WHOOO!!!!!!!!

So taking a deer with a rifle is worse than how they kill mass produced meat?<br>I dont agree with hunting just for a trophy, but some of the best times I've had with family has been Pheasant hunting in Nebraska.... 4 generations of afamily there (Me, dad, grandpa, great grandpa)...and what we shoot during the week is what we eat for dinner. If we dont get any birds, ham sandwiches fordinner!<br>There's also something about being out in nature, walking the fields with two feet of snow on the ground, the dogs working in front of you quartering backand forth then BAM, they lock in on point. If you've never gone hunting, you're missing out on a true nature experience.<br>And however ironic it is, I cant stand fishing....I hate seeing something die slowly like that!

Dave..Cut the crap.<br><br>I farm,I own the feilds and forests and valleys the live in. It's my grain they are feasting on.<br>My guns are all legally obtained. My licenses, (firearm) possession and aquisition certificate fees and requirements are up to date.<br>My firearms safety course fees and requirements are up to date.<br>My Outdoor card fees and requirements are up to date.<br>My deer hunting application/requirements and license fees are paid and up to date.<br>Deer hunting is LEGAL here as long as the hunter has permission of the land owner.<br>All our venison is for our own consumption..no poaching or selling venison.<br><br>Ya don't want to do it..fine...Don't.<br>But don't start some crap on here,and try and goad others on into helping you.<br><br><br>

Deer jerky is very different from what you buy at the store. I am not sure when sniping from a shedbecame hunting, or maybe you have only seen it in movies, but around here guys actually hunt, and they fill their chest freezers with alot of meat because ofit. The shooting is the finality at the end of the hunt. Hunting is about the hunt, tracking your prey through the woods, and at the end hopefully a cleanshot drops them as humanely as possible. At the end the deer is outmatched no doubt, but until then they have the upper hand as you are in their house, andmore often than not they get away. No one I know snipes from a shed while deer parade in front of it...LOL! That happens on those two week hunting vacationsat a lodge where you shoot a tame deer! That is just target practice, not "hunting".<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image"><br><br>

<blockquote> <blockquote> Not everyone cares to see fur, blood and death. </blockquote><strong class="quote-title">Beach bomb wrote:</strong> <hr> Turn the channel or in this case hit the back button.

If you didn't grow up around it, I can see why you don't "get it". <br>Thank you Jamie, you got it spot on.<br>Speaking from personal experience, WE cannot afford to eat 'only' grocery food. My husband hunts (and fishes) to put food on our table. We have afreezer full of venison and fish, and it provides us year round.<br><br>What I don't get is how anyone can complain about deer hunting while they're eating a hamburger. <img src="http://mmb.maverick.to/images/smilies/hmmm.gif" alt="image"><br>Cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, lambs are much more unfortunate than deer are.<br><br><br>

I've lived off wild game all of my life. Jamie's right once you pull the trigger, it's over and the work begins. Out where I live we don't huntalot of deer, don't get me wrong, deer are hunted. Elk is mostly what we fill our freezers with. One elk will keep me out the meat isle at the grocerystore for just about a year, and it's one of the healthiest proteins for you. Any how, we went 5 out of 6 this year, our best also. My nephew shot hisfirst elk and that's always exciting. I hunt the Centennial mountain range on the border of Idaho and Montana, it's beautiful. Once you shoot your elka couple miles in it gets interesting...

Having hit a deer with a truck and seen many hit by cars here i have no problem with them thinning them out as well i dont wana hit one on my bike.<br>Side story i was driving a rather hic road one night and something in my head told me to just stop, so i just stopped in the middle of the road and sure enougha hurd of deer then bolted in front of my car!! It was weird the big buck stopped for a second and looked me in the eye then kept going. Weird story but true<br><br>ps im not a hunter i couldnt shoot one but i sure could eat one :)<br>
