I don't know if it's the same thing as a family vacation. I wouldn't see anything wrong with videotaping the hunting camp, the people there, you know the basic stuff one would with a family vacation video. The KILL in hunting is something very different, though. One needs the concentration to be focused on making that KILL and not something else. If one wants to video or photograph animals, they don't need to wait for hunting season to do it. Like I said having that shaky, grainy video from a camera mounted to a tree or weapon will do little to preserve the moment. Besides how many people, even family members really want to watch us killing something? Maybe some others who also hunt might want to see it, but I can guarantee you they wouldn't want to see it more than once. Same goes for the family vacation videos by the way. LOL

I don't care what type of contraption they invent. I for one will never understand the need to videotape ones own kill. I could see why hunting shows do it, and that's for entertainment, and to make money, but why would I want to record one of my own kills? Isn't it way better to just have it etched in your memory and maybe a photo or two with the animal once it's down? A shaky, grainy video of the kill will do what for us? And what is one supposed to do when an animal give you a shot? Do you fiddle with on/off switch on the video camera or do you concentrate on making an accurate killing shot with your weapon?? I will never get why any hunter (other than those in the hunting TV show business) would need a videocamera on his head or weapon to record the moment.

LOL! Maybe we could send these bucks to Michelle Bachman's husband for some therapy? Don't know if he works with animals, though.

I completely agree with Pygmy. No need for the premium bullets to kill deer. I had used the premium stuff for years and didn't see any difference in killing performance over the cheaper stuff I started off with on deer years ago. The premium stuff can cost up to 3 times as much over the standard loads and in my opinion they aren't worth it for deer sized game.

Yeah, but not those that have the misfortune of walking in front of a few of us.

If your under arms didn't smell so bad, maybe your Under Armour wouldn't either? Just a thought, anyway.

Oh, and I did read on that other "after 3 year chase" thread that he used to live in Texas. Maybe this buck was photographed there by his buddy? Imagine, me of all people trying to be peacemaker here? LOL Damn, the world must be coming to an end or something. LOL

Wow, I'm even feeling sorry for this poor devil, crs740. You boys made minced meat out of him in NO time flat. A pack of hyenas you guys are, I tell you! LOL

I just got into Kennedy airport, Doe. On my way up to Burt's place for the weekend, since he was kind enough to tell us that he won't be up there this weekend on his hunting thread. Maybe we can meet up on Pygmy's hunting land afterwards? Maybe we will find him sound asleep again under a pine tree like we did last time with that whiskey flask in his hand? LOL

Gee whiz, are you looking to actually break some bones this time??? At least tell us that you didn't have those Birkinstocks on this time!! LOL

I wish that was me. Maybe I can make a few extra bucks modeling if Culver sends me that can.

I'll wait until after Halloween to spray my face. Might as well put it to good use when I can.

Culver, if there is anything left in that can, please send it to me. After I cover up the spots on the fawns I kill, I might try some on my balding head. May not look great, but my head ain't much to look at anyway so it's worth a try. LOL

We can add the music from the movie "Psycho" right about here. He might as well let himself get bludgened at this point, for it's pretty much done and over for him.

Skipping the AA meetings to go hunting instead. With flask in hand of course.

Wow, someone should make your story into a movie! Maybe they could call it "Screamon Demon, The Love Story". I think the problem would be categorizing it as a "romantic" movie. Might fit more under the "thriller" or "horror" categories for some. LOL Just pulling your leg here!

Venison chili? Wow! I don't remember ever seeing that on their menu back when I used to eat there. There was a motel right across the road where we stayed at. They had hunters in every room during the hunting season. I vividly remember standing next to the pole where the deer were hanging one evening and heard one clown bragging to everyone how he shot his buck at about 5:15 that evening, and this was right in the middle of gun season! LOL I don't think I would have been saying that out loud! Man, I somehow DON'T miss those days. We have it a whole lot better now as far as accommodations and what we eat at dinner.

LOL, yeah especially if it typically don't last more than a minute thirty seconds anyway!!

And of course the women on the forum are free to give us some insight as to what female parts would get frosted since "nads" are not a part of their anatomy? LOL

Yeah, it's getting out of hand, but it's interesting to see exactly how people defend drinking while hunting. We are only a small sample of hunters on this forum. Multiply it by God knowns how many other hunters out there who might have no issues with drinking and hunting and then the scenario starts looking even worse.

I think the problem is that you lose a lot of time in the morning going to a diner and waiting to get served. Some don't even open until after 5AM or after, which makes the timing real tight for a hunter. It takes way LESS time getting something quick to eat at home, camp or wherever beforehand, plus you can probably sleep later since you don't have to waste time at a diner. My experiences with most diners or restaurants in the country is that their service is slow as molasses. Their businesses wouldn't last 1 day in an urban or suburban setting with that kind of slow service.

I honestly think a lot of them have a hard time with the word "kill", as in "did you kill anything?". Doesn't really bother me, as long as the person is accepting of me hunting, the terminology they wan't to use is up to them. I think most realize that hunting is not catch and release like fishing can be, so if "catch" is what they want to use they can knock themselves out with the word.

Back in the 80's me and a couple of uncles hunted in Columbia county. We stayed at a motel since that's all we had available then, and ate at this diner many times. Has been there a long time. The food was OK, but nothing like cooking our own food like we currently do at our rented hunting house. No diner will cook up venison backstrap for you, that's for sure! http://www.taghkanicdiner.com/

There you go! Proof enough how it can constrict the arteries.

Actually that might not be a bad thing. She probably adopted all of us to help her out with the goats, food plots, tree stands and a slew of other stuff. If we go back to Tanzania we could just hang out in the shade somewhere and just wait for the plane to drop the CARE packages. No sweat off our backs and we'd still be well fed.
