This can happen to anyone of us. Bubba makes some good points. Until the investigation is over we are all speculating. Prayers to them all.

Malverne Firefighter killed in Hunting Accident
First-light replied to Deerthug's topic in General Chit Chat
Just feel awful about this............ I was wondering about looking for a deer I hit Saturday morning, the thought of someone mistaking me for a deer went through my head. Know what your target is before pulling the trigger.......Prayers to the families. -
But when you call it in you say it was a male.

I had to use that truck to bring the deer to the processor. My buddy Joe came with me, we got some looks.....lol -
I pretty much hunt the same deer stand bow and gun. Some weeks 0 deer spotted but others I get into the teens on 1 day. Opening day was a good one for me and I saw 16 deer from that stand all before 10:00. Sunday 3 deer all day, Monday until 11- 1 deer. Just how it goes.....

Between Friday night and Sunday morning I called in 4 different bucks. They all responded to estrous bleets and buck growls. The big buck I missed on Friday night with the bow came in again to me Saturday night 15 minutes after legal hours. He was all pumped up and was ready to cross a logging road 20 feet in front of me when I decided to get up. Boy did we both startle each other. Scrapes were being worked over by bucks and does.

It was 11 am we each had a beer to toast the hunt. I told him what he wanted to hear. Will always fill out tags on the woods and have something to measure horns.

We took 4 deer before 10:00. Two doe ,button buck and a buck with broken rack. This buck had only one side and was very close to 3 inche s. told my buddy we would measure back at camp and put th correct tag on it. 3 deer tagged 1 wasn't being transported in a wagon being towed by a quad. We get back and pop two cold ones, measure the antler which was 2.75 inches and we fill out the doe tag. I have a big hanging pole and some big pines next to it. I park the quad behind the pines. We are just bout to put the tag on the deer and a dec pickup rolls in. Officer gets out and asks if we had ny luck which I say we were just about to hang 4 up. He come over to check them, looks at each deer and tag. Looks at te buck and asks where the tag was. It was in my buddies hand and he said it belonged on the deer. I told him we needed to measure the antler first before taging. He told us that needed to be done in the woods and we should of been better prepared. He told us the fine was 350 bucks. He sees the two beers on the quad and says you guys hunting anymore today? I look at him and understand what he was getting at, and replyed absolutely not. He then says put the tag on the buck and ill let the fine slide. He was a nice guy who gve us. Break. Do it by the book out there!

You to Jordan! Btw these deer had a neighbor sighting in a gun 300 yards away and it didn't bother them one bit! I peed off my stand 3 times that day and was doing A bunch of calls around 3:30 before the big guy showed up. -

What a freaked day that is all I can say. Stayed in the stand for 10 hours saw 2 bucks and 11 does. At 6:45 I asked my father in law, who hunts in heaven, for a deer today. 5 minutes later he sends me a deer! Thought it was a doe and was at full draw then saw little horns a 4 pt. I let him walk. Texted my brother in law and said your dad is pissed that I let a deer walk, told him it was a small buck and had a feeling something bigger would come by. 2:00 saw ,4 doe at 40 yards and at 2:30 5 more doe. Around 4 a lone doe walks across the flat behind me. I wanted to take her but she Angeles off but hung around. I hear another deer above me, a place where the bucks walk, it was. Giant. He was at least 12 points wide sweeping rack that extended past hose nose. A tremendous deer white rack full of mass. I had him at 30 yards behind a pine tree. He needed to take a step or two and I would shoot, he did, I shot and hit a branch 3/4 way to the deer. Arrow went straight up in the air. Deer just walked off. I will not shoot another deer this year until I see him he is that big....... 3 shots and a couple of beer are helping right now....... -

About to head out for last bow hunt. 32degrees light wind all day, nice way to end bow. I may do an all day sit, everyone is at camp and I'm sure will be in and out of the woods mid day. Maybe they push something to me! Btw left the Island at 3:30 and made camp by 6:30 not bad for that time of day! We also have rose pedals candles condoms and a bottle of Veuve for the newly weds when they get in tonight!!! -
