I don't doubt for one second, that there are those who would should a buck that is standing broadside and motionless, straight through the hips, just to put it down if that is the only shot presented............no doubt at all.
-
are people really that obsessed with taking a buck that they would shoot one in an area that is more than likely going to destroy a large amount of meat?
-
I just reread the article.....unless I missed something, it makes no mention of the victim not wearing orange.
-
why? bullets travel an incredible distance...nobody can ever be sure of where their bullet will eventually come to rest..........like I said gun safety should never be taken lightly, but once that bullet leaves the barrel NOBODY has control of where it lands, we can all know our immediate perceived backstops, but we can't always be aware of unforeseen obstacles between us and beyond our targets.
-
nothing wrong with shooting a spike....don't let anyone tell you any different.
-
this year will be 31 hunting, been going up for 35.........man I feel old
-
your location might help.
-
unless you own a HUGE parcel of private land, nobody has any idea of what lies beyond the path of the bullet they just fired......not to make light of gun safety, but that's just a fact.
-
work on extending your effective shooting distance...with today's equipment many people regularly take deer out to 40 yards. I would hunt the outskirts of the thicker stuff, some deer are warier when they detect the slightest change inside of the areas they feel most comfortable, and as mentioned above, don't be ashamed to take a buck that is a little less than you're hoping for. There's many, many hunters who aren't even getting chances at young bucks
-
I actually stared at this for awhile trying to figure it out myself..............what's Smh?
-
no good, not considered antlerless.........only buck you can tag as antlerless is a button, spikes less than 3" or shed bucks.
-
good point, I'd rather someone sit with their back directly on the line shooting away from me then to have them 100 yards away shooting towards me......and unfortunately there really is nothing that can be done about fence sitters except to get pissed and if the chance ever arises deny them access to track or retrieve a deer, but that's not something I would do if the deer was legally shot on their property.
-
if I'm reading this correctly, your friend went onto the neighbors property and sat in his stand? and you take issue with him getting pissed?............interesting.
-
this thread is titled "why people hate hunters", the general non hunting public could care less about anything you're mentioning and probably have no clue what you're talking about......those are reason's why YOU hate other hunters, and that's fine, but it certainly has nothing to do with why people hate hunters.
-
short period of time.....this is the first year they were able to be used in the archery season. The past they were only allowed during regular gun and the late season, I don't think that would provide and good info since not many would pick up a crossbow when you could use a rifle, shotgun or muzzleloader during the same time.
-
they've been legal for about two weeks now, not sure how much data is available at this point.
-
and the worst post, and no doubt the reason this thread has gone on for as long as it has...........
-
oh, I was more or less speculating.........I'd rather not offend anyone with my thoughts on the Church.....and believe me, I spend way too much time dealing with the general public to doubt the amount of ignorant people out there.
-
I keep it pretty simple, I have a general dislike of people regardless of what they do for fun or as a profession......some more than others, but I tend to keep it evenly distributed.
-
Elmer Fudd as the hunter and Bugs Bunny pulling the deer cart.........perfect.
-
this has all the makings of a bad cartoon.....sorry, but it does.
-
I wonder what a guy pulling a loaded deer cart through the woods must sound like........
-
right, do people hate Dr.'s, Teachers and Priests because a few have made the News doing heinous things?..........I don't think so, I like to think that the majority of people are smart enough to separate them from the rest of the group they are part of, But, then again there are those who hate no matter what the reason and or will take one incident and that's what they use to fuel their anger.
-
too bad not all the people hunting in the AR zones are part of that minority...........did he mention any possibility of that plan being reversed?
-
I always throw them out and start with new one.........if something goes wrong with your next shot you'll be questioning the decision to use the old sabot for a long time, not worth it as far as I'm concerned.
