Somebody tell me again about puppy-dog sized deer in Florida?
http://www.woodsnwater.net/buck_of_the_year/2011 Defining hunting? Sitting in any sort of stand is merely imitating a cougar, waiting in ambush. Probably an older form of hunting than anything done by Johnny-come-lately homo sapiens. Rather arrogant to believe that stomping around in the boonies and scaring half the critters within a mile is some sort of superiority of method. Some places, a house is a great deer blind. Back at the old family ranch, I used to give a wee bit of thought to cheating, since deer would come in at night and drink the condensate water from the window A/C of my bedroom. Grossly unfair, however. And with this drouth all over Texas, I reckon that suburban flower beds are feeding areas. Since August 21, 2010, I've had three "rains" totalling one-fourth of an inch. If it ever rains again, the poor fish in Terlingua Creek would likely drown. I know they've forgotten how to swim... |

Thanks for the tips...
I reckon a requisite... "PSSST cover yer ears..." is in order such as I am required to warn before flickin' on the light in the middle of the night... While it would be funny as heck to watch her "un-ass" the bed using levitation... I don't think the rest of that day would go well for me! Brent |

Well, I'm thinking since she would be wide awake you could say " Hey baby, seing as how you are awake and all how about come help me work up this deer". See how that goes.

I think you would be right to take the shot. I don't see the difference between hunting in a tree that's dropping acorns, over standing corn or a legal feeder.

Nope..... I have 2 daughters with 2 tags each to fill, and they only get 2 days to hunt during November Firearm Season (durned basketball camps!) and I have all 9 days ...... so on opening day and Sunday, I ain't shooting unless they wound one and it is getting away......

shooting out of your bedroom window is one small step above shooting out of your truck window while drivin' country roads. shootin fish in a barrel next?

Aw, I've parked in my back pasture and shot from the driver's window of my '62 Chevy sedan. Is that okay? I was bored with the drop-in visitors at the house, said, "I think I'll go kill a doe," and drove off. An hour later I was back with a job of work to do. Cut, wrapped and in the freezer an hour or so later.
Sometimes I'd just go down to the loading pen a bit before sundown, taking a book to read. Somewhere along about the time it was getting a bit dark to read, I'd look out and see does in the oat patch. Bang, whop, plop. I don't figure I was hunting in the usual sense of the word, so much as just putting meat in the freezer. But, meat's meat. And, hey, I had some peace and quiet. "Don't bother him, he's hunting!" |
