Deer hunting BS thread

Well of course not, but baiting sure improves the odds, Any "Doornob" can bait and harvest a nice deer, however I can't see them being called a Hunter, Hunters put in a lot of time & study their craft, they learn how to hunt!! Are Baited deer allowed in the record book? jmop

 

only thing better would have been if you tried to bag the buck and knock off a piece at the same time...

 

Gun season opens Saturday...

 

Baited deer are allowed in pope and young, I have one there that was standing in a corn pile. Shot him with a compound bow with 2 other bucks standing right beside him.

You think it was easy?

 

If you shoot a buck chasing a doe is that considered hunting over bait?

Asking for a friend

 

Hay!!! cut that out, i'm trying to drink a beer, now you make me spit it all over the computer!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks, I didn't know that, If baiting is legal, go for it!! it's just not for me, I have hunted most of my life (I'm halfway thru my 70's) didn't always get a deer, but always enjoyed the hunt. taken some nice ones, I have taken some not so nice ones but I hunted them all, my fondest memory is a small buck in Norther MN. It's the hunt, not the hunted.

 

It is legal here. Hasn’t always been. My best memories are hunting with my dad growing up. No bait. Shot my first one at the age of 15 at 11:15 am from dad’s tree stand with one of his shotguns. He was in another stand. That was 1990 and I remember it like it was yesterday.


Now I’m making memories with my kids, they love helping put corn out

 

Memories, That my friend is what it is all about, Memories & forgiveness (I am sure they will forgive you someday about the corn) (jk)

 

welp, ya take a shot at it....

 

This made my day yesterday...
Thank you...

 

FIFY
But we won’t go there..

 

Good Deer

 

those reds squirrels iratate me. they sit and bark forever when an acorn drops.

 

catching up on post. have spotty to no service where we hunt. tough year here. acorns everywhere. mostly red and black oak. deer are spread out. seen some small bucks chasing does. the mountain rut is a week or so later than here in farmland but its only 45 minutes away.one good 10 pt still on camera. always alone.huge 10 with no brows also,son has him pegged but cant get a shot.

 

Did make a batch of jerky this week. tweaked my recipe and must say nailed it.sweet,salty,and touch of heat from a ton of black pepper

 

Nice!

 

Pm in bound with address for shipment to verify your nailed it statement .....

 

Well hoping either me or charleigh or Jess at least bust a doe this weekend so I can try and figure out where a buck worth hunting is hanging out. Gonna try and pick up some Hornsby gmx for the .223. A guy on Reddit comment on my post of charleigh and said he had just shot one that dropped (lung/heart shot) and the bullet went all the way through. I watched a gel test when it got 21" of penetration with 55 gr and expanded to like .4" so anything that big or bigger I can find should at least leave a little blood if we need to track one... Which was my main concern from the start... Good luck finding .223 ammo right now though lol
