Deer hunting BS thread

Yep, I get it!

 

Yep! I'd have to look acreage but they had a "Reserve" but it was only for military and DOD place you could hunt in Maryland their restriction was bow only and 3 point on one side. It was stupid because over the fence/property line they had a hunting property and it was anything goes as in if its brown its down....

 

This makes it all worthwhile.

 

Oh hail yeah, that looks delicious.

 

Thats why that bear is hanging around

 

Did you ever make plans to go on a Muley hunt Dennis?

 

No kidding.
Grilling with my 1911.

 

Put this up today. Ill take pic when i go put couple bags corn in it tomorrow

 

No I haven’t, after giving it a lot of thought I just can’t justify paying 5-8k for a hunt. I’d probably give it more consideration if the hunting wasn’t so good around here. I have to admit, I’m pretty spoiled with the opportunities I have

 

For sure, if I could still get Idaho Muzzy tags for $3500 like we used to 10 years ago I would say let’s roll! But those tags are almost $20k now and they aren't shooting 200” Muleys like we used to they are pretty much happy if they get something upper 170’s. Whitetails out east seems like a better gig now days.

 

What cost that much? Highest i saw was moose which is draw/ lotto tag

 

One of the things that turned me off on some of the outfitters that I was checking out is, they scale their prices, the bigger the animal the more they charge. The way I see it is, if you’re fair chase hunting which is the only way I hunt then, why should I pay more because I’m willing to wait for a bigger animal than someone else.

 

Dennis, as you stated before, with the ok deer you have why would you entertain hunting elsewhere?

 

@dewayne

 

Land owner tags, used to be able to buy them for relatively cheap and skip the whole drawing process.

 

I guess I was thinking about the experience of something different but if other outfitters are like the ones around here, that’s an experience I can do without.

 

If you decide you want the experience I could give you some areas in the wilderness that you could go explore with a general season tag. 15 miles to get in there big high country glacial basins, might not see a buck or might kill a 200” buck. It’s an experience non the less but it’s an ass kicker.
