I do, for protection, backup, etc. Rifle/shotgun always primary though

Danny is right, normally the bigger the caliber the heavier the gun you want just to offset the kick a bit

Nice buck, let him eat :-)

+1 on what Buck said, play the wind...its cheaper too :-)

Awesome work as always Dave, I love the 3 Amigos...:-)

With my .45 LC, absolutely NOTHING !!! LOL

It should be legal everywhere, but "The People's Republic of NY" thinks it knows better. Like someone said before, better safe than dead

.45 Long Colt :-) Seriously, I go light if 1-2 miles from the truck, backback with all the above if longer hike....plus foxpro, extra water and a toilet paper, then I'm all set ...:-)

Fry the bastard....

That's the Matrix deer I'm talking about.....dodge this .270... biatch...LOL...

You mean the same farm? LOL

"...The plot thickens..." LOL keep'em coming 4 Seasons

No I haven't but if you are telling me you have bruisers like that I will there in no time :-) BTW, when do you apply for a town tags on LI (January season) is it already too late?

I don't know fellaz, I'm far from being an expert on deer, but this guy looks a bit "farmish" to me...just saying....

good job on not shooting so close to the houses. all you need is a bad shot and a deer dying on someone's front lawn...LOL Do more scouting and yes, get there way before light....the season is long be patient

where is the vid?

I have seen doe responding to short low calls, too loud and too long and they are gone.....just my experience

best thing is to try, just don't overcall, start low and short calls.....10-15 secs and listen and watch....

Damn, Drama Queen, get a life you doueshbag....stay at home for 3 days BFD....

+1 What Joe said

wow I'm jealous :-) Make a lot of pics man and share it when you get back

I understand your need to be social and I'm fine with that. Personally I think you over-dramatizing the situation and I would suggest to worry about something you CAN control...:-) Any reasonable person would shoot before the season that's just common sense. Who cares what douchebags do...LOL

09/15/12 - CT Bowhunt Opening Day In at 6:30 out by noon In again at 3:00 PM out by O'dark hundred (7PM) Morning session was empty, well almost....:-) I called in a human being to my FoxPro with Whitetail in distress...LOL. Got a good shooting lane on him and everything but I'm tagged out for Humans :-) So, it was NO GO.... In the afternoon I saw nothing and I spooked a pair of does on the way out. Then started still hunting and spotted a large doe staring at me so I froze and didn't move a muscle for a while. After she was done checking me out and was cool with me there she was moving propendicular to me at the slow pace. I used a large tree that was between us as my advantage, while I was blocked by that tree I could safely get my arrow and place it in my Matthews Bow. Then it hit me, my release was already in my pocket, "screw it" I thought, I will shoot with my fingers....The doe kept moving left slowly, I have no shooting lane whatsoever but a great one is coming if she just keeps going...she does...My mind is racing: "how far is it?" Hmm, 30-35 yards methinks....cool, she is now in my view...I drew and hold...stabilized and let it go...pufff...way too low and a bit far back. Now, she is just super pissed, she didn't run away or anything just got scared and turned around. Started hissing/puffing and shit, stomping like crazy, yeah...You know what's comes next...She is gone to another county with a high jumps... In hindsight, I'm actually glad that I didn't hit her, it was 20 min before legal light and it was a long shot, if I hit her It would be probably a gut shot since it was way too far and low, then again I would be probably still looking for her.Well, so here you have it, I got my practice shot and some good time in the woods, there is always tomorrow (not actually since CT does not hunt on Sundays) but you know what I mean. Its good to be back hunting....

You guys are a riot....LOL

You did WHAT?
