Four Season Whitetail's

True but if he is in a good food area with no people and no dogs to run him around he will get by great. This deer would live a somewhat normal life IF left alone. They are some tough birds and will prosper even when put at a huge disadvantage. Just need to be left alone. Whats the chances of that?

Hence the No Kill List on the parks they are released on. I was a guest there years ago but was not lucky enough to draw a white tag. Back then they picked stands for you and they brought you out, dropped you off, you were told not to leave even if you shot a deer. Way back then the depot was still a dangerous place for someone to be picking around in some of them bunkers!

Yes Sir. Its not broke and its a big anchor dragging behind him when trying to run. It will get stuck on branches and bushes while being fun down by a yote or such. Good point on the cold sapping his energy this winter while he tries to get around. Sad. How many seconds do you think it took to get that wound?

I would agree to save if possible but at the very minimum i would demand that the deer be relocated to some state parks across the state and then put on the no kill list for awhile. I have seen a couple nice pied on Letchworth over the years. It would be cool to see some solid whites runnin around on the parks!

Yup the fence does not have to be a pen. Just a straight line across an area to direct animals a different direction. I have had good luck with the fence up off the ground about 2ft to stop them from going under. 4ft fence would put them looking at a 6ft jump. Yes they can jump the fence but a walking deer with no pressure will just follow the fence around and once one deer does it and lays a scent trail of such. Every deer will follow.

If he was on my farm he would be found and put down but then again if he was here he wouldnt be here because the yotes would have had him already!

A fence put up in that area to deter the deer from going his way would/could also make a great funnel that works out great for you!

Big time relief up here this weekend and they are calling for 45 on Monday. This weather will help the herd big time!

Thanks Much!

Can they be bought? Anybody have one or info on one. Know a fella in need!

Probably the best post on this whole book. There is nothing wrong with the kill. Its the reason behind the posting on a public website that throws up the flag. That speaks loud about the SHOOTER that posted. Not the HUNTER that posted!

Well i guess if i had to make a choice i would want the one to kill me be the same one that i wanted to kill. Eye for an Eye i guess. Sad either way!

1 deer in this case could have been to many!

Cops ID woman killed in deer crash Gary McLendon, Staff writer9:40 a.m. EST January 10, 2014 (Photo: stock image) SHARE 17CONNECTTWEET 2COMMENTEMAILMORE A woman was killed Thursday after a deer crashed through her car's windshield on a rural road in Perinton. Karen Boyce, 60, of Rochester was driving on Carter Road, north of Whitney Road, when she struck a deer Thursday evening, said Cpl. John Helfer of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. A passerby came upon the crash about 6:15 p.m. and called 911. Helfer said the collision occurred on a remote stretch of Carter Road, more than 100 yards away from the closest house. Boyce was pronounced dead at the scene and the deer, which also died, landed in the back seat of her car, Helfer said. Deputies continue to investigate the crash

This is so true. Just lost a good bud last month and he had double pneumonia. Once it took over it was to late! Dont mess with it Red!!

Well that makes it better! A pretty little lie. Can live with that! lol

Thats where the problem lays...Nobody really knows but i sure cant wait for the new blood test to come through to really put it all to bed. Then every deer behind fence is tested as fawns. givin a clean bill of health and released. Then the states can pay the farmers when their deer give farm deer cwd. Wont that be a hoot!! lol Ok...Now back to killin all these deer so fast! No Hijacking!

Thats fine. You can take the word of any dec officer in any state thats main agenda is to be rid of high fence hunting and their only weapon is cwd. But as you saw the truth was it was a road kill deer, not a farm deer and it was close to where the other positives in the state of Pa was found that just happens to be close to a state( maryland) that has had cwd for years and years and as you hear by this post a hunter can kill like 13 deer each in that state( CWD gunna kill them all huh) and there has never been a deer farm ever in that state. But no i have no doubt or problem with you that a dec officer would lie to ya!

I just hope he allows it to have a 3 or 4 week season of its own on top of it being used in any others season. Maybe start the the show Aug 1st and chase them till the new year! Nice!

Yeah im sure she did. I guess she said a farm doe had mad sex with the little spike buck before he ran out in the highway and got blasted. Whatever! Maryland never has had a deer farm and they have cwd for years!! Ongoing surveillance detects disease in highway-killed deer from Bedford County. A white-tailed deer that was killed by a vehicle in Bedford County this fall has tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD). The deer, a 1 ½–year-old buck, was struck on Interstate 99 in November and sent for testing as part of Pennsylvania’s ongoing effort to monitor the prevalence and spread of CWD, which is fatal to members of the deer family, but is not known to be transmitted to humans. Test results confirming the buck was CWD positive were returned Dec. 24. “It’s not as if we hope to find CWD positives as we continue our ongoing surveillance,” Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe said. “But the fact is that each test result that comes back – positive or negative – gives us a clearer picture of how prevalent the disease is, and monitoring for CWD is an important part of our efforts to manage its spread.” This positive test is unlikely to have much impact on hunters, but it serves as a reminder that CWD has been found in southcentral Pennsylvania. The Game Commission already has established perimeters around the sites where CWD was detected previously, and within the boundaries of these Disease Management Areas (DMAs), special rules apply to hunters and residents. There are two DMAs in Pennsylvania, which are intended in part to contain and slow the spread of CWD. The buck that tested positive Dec. 24 was killed within what is known as DMA 2, a 900-square-mile area that includes parts of Bedford, Blair, Cambria and Huntingdon counties. More precisely, the site where the buck was killed is between two sites where CWD was detected last year, so this new positive shouldn’t change the shape or size of the DMA. This is the first case of CWD detected in Pennsylvania this year, but not all of the samples collected this year have been tested. The Game Commission targeted collecting and testing 1,000 samples within in each DMA, as well as 3,000 samples from additional deer statewide. CWD was first detected in Pennsylvania in 2012 at a captive facility in Adams County. Subsequently, three free-ranging deer harvested by hunters during the 2012 season – two deer in Blair County and one in Bedford County – tested positive for CWD. CWD is not a new disease, and other states have decades of experience dealing with CWD in the wild. CWD is spread from deer to deer through direct and indirect contact. The disease attacks the brains of infected deer, elk and moose, and will eventually result in the death of the infected animal. There is no live test for CWD and no known cure. There also is no evidence CWD can be transmitted to humans, however, it is recommended the meat of infected animals not be consumed. For more information on CWD, the rules applying within DMAs or what hunters can do to have harvested deer tested for CWD, visit the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state.pa.us. Information can be found by clicking on the button titled “CWD Information” near the top of the homepage. Further results from this year’s CWD testing will be reported at a later date. Late-season deer hunting is now underway statewide and, in some parts of the state, deer hunting is open through the last Saturday in January. For properly licensed hunters, Roe said, that means there’s still time to get out and enjoy deer hunting this year. “That’s a point that shouldn’t be lost,” Roe said. “While we will continue to monitor for CWD and keep a watchful eye on test results, the simple fact CWD has been detected in Pennsylvania shouldn’t keep anybody from enjoying deer hunting, or venison from healthy deer, as they always have. “And with the better part of two hunting seasons elapsed since CWD was first detected in Pennsylvania, it seems clear the Keystone State’s hunters understand that,” he said

Dont you have cwd in your state? I believe you do and have for many.many years? Whats your thought? Any in your area of hunting?

Very dangerous game he is playing!

This kind of says something. 270---338 and after all said and done a 500lbs plus animal dead. I almost sold my 300wby just because it knocked me out and then because it hurt my ears to shoot it. Those big cannons are not needed 99.9 percent of a normal hunters life. I wish now i didnt buy so big but ear protection even while hunting has to be done with those big guns!

Cool......Keep them on.Joke Tube!

I also dont believe i have kicked the shells out the bottom more than twice. Just bolt the 3 shells out and go! I had to vent the end of the barrel though. Man that thing would knock some teeth out!
