Deer hunting BS thread

Our license allows us to kill 2 bucks. One any size, one 4 points or more on one side. I think I've talked about this before, but the "poachers" here are awful, because they know there's only 1 DNR officer and they'll more than likely get away with it. No one follows that rule on the license. It sucks, because it's there to help grow bigger deer. But it's the truth. No one follows it. That doesn't make it right, but that's where the "if he didn't take it, the next guy would have" comes from.

 

Then kill em all

 

I'll kill my 2 bucks...if one is 4 or more on one side. Like the law states. I'm friends with the DNR officer, and would like it to stay that way. But I don't have a problem killin a small buck either. To each their own. I'll kill whatever my license allows

 

ya. we have days(goes by unit) that you can kill a doe and a buck in the same day. state is divided into 4 units. we can take any size buck.. also we have archery is from like september till today, today is last day of archery. muzzleloader opens tomorrow and is open for 2 weeks. than gun/high power rifle(you can use a muzzleloader or bow if you want) that end jan 6th. you can only take 3 bucks a year. but if you take does when you can you and are doing it for the meat and controlling heard, you can have quite a bit of meat in the freezer.

 

my goal is to only shoot a buck with 4 points on one side, thats just me. i would rather see more large rack deer. we all have different goals, and its legal to shoot a spike here in mich. many do, its there legal right and i have no problem with that. different strokes for different folks. we have tons of doe's here, i'll take 4 doe's every year and let the small bucks walk.

 

I let small bucks and does walk. We can't kill anything with less than 3 on one side. Even a real small 6 can keep walkin. I'd rather kill a 50 ringer

 

Good kill! Where I'm at that deer would be considered meat on the hoof. He looks to be at least 3, and has yet to grow any brow tines, not good IMO. That deer was probably a spike the year before, and might be a 6 next year, but he'll likely still lack brow tines. If people want to see bigger deer, you have to cull out the smaller ones at a younger age so they aren't breeding their genetics all over the place. Saddest thing I ever saw was a 5-6 yr old buck with 16" spikes

 

wierd genetics eh? my dad a few years back killed a 5 1/2 year old, 20 some odd inch spike. second largest ever killed in georgia.

 

I thought the same thing. I even mentioned it in Live when someone said it needed 3 more years. I figured he was around 3 years old also.

 

my buddy killed my deer i been after this morning.

9 point weighed over 150. ill post up a pic when i figure out why live aint recievin the ones from my new phone..

 

but i did see 12 deer this morning, 2 bucks sparred a lil bit down behind some brush. and i know there is atleast 2 more good bucks in the area.
this is why around here if you see a buck you take him, so many hunters per sq mile you likely never see it again, luckily ive known him since highschool and even though we hunt seperate tracts it's still the same deer, but atleast he got him not any of the random hunters i dont know around here..

 

Nice buck. I'm headed out for the evening as soon as I'm done meeting with an insurance agent. Seems like its gonna be a good evening on stand

 

its been a great past couple of days, seen 6 yesterday and doubled that today. shit im just hopin i see a buck worth taking tomorrow, all i been seeing is does and yearlings the 2 today never came close enough to tell exactly how big they were but i could see they were bucks

 

I'll be goin this evenin after work for an hour or so again. Gotta go when I can. Wish I could go more. Goin to a new spot that I walked into yesterday. Saw 6 horned bushes within about 20 feet of each other. We'll see if he walks out this evenin

 

Crappy pic of a pic, but got this guy on camera at the ranch

 

KILL IT NOW!

 

Off all week next week. You know where I'll be.

 

The Legend.
