You're both being stupid. Shooting deer in a fence is not hunting, its no differnet then raising livestock. Regardless of how much they're worth. Shooting a Animal purely for some bone on it's head sickin's me. However so dose Hunting with dogs how is it any differnet for a deer to be stuck behind a fence then a cat forced and stuck up a tree. You're both in the wrong.

So beacause a couple guys want to be Trophy hunters. We all have to suffer?

The way I see it, During archery as long as I Think I can make a clean safe shot, I am gonna take the shot.. Wether that be 2, or 5 even 15 minutes after (Legal light).

9h Increase Probly over 37% Alot more food, Thanks to the farmers. I think bad winters impact the herd the most.

Heading out for the evening sit. 9h, Wyoming County. 48 degrees no wind.

Smacked Indeed. What happen to are free Country?

Meat and only meat. Untill somone comes up with a good recipe to cook bone, I'll stick with meat. Wether it be doe or button buck.

Fly tying! What better way to complete the cycle. Deer, Hide, fly, trout.

Nah, I had pretty much the same thing happen monday. Shot missed the lungs search all night for the deer couldn't find it waited till the morning to look again and right by my stand their were a couple does...

Wow what a great night! My walk in the woods in saw 3 does. Got to my stand 10 minutes later a couple does worked their way towards me, one walked right into my shooting lane I drew my bow just before it walked in the opening had a clear 20 yard shot. Looked to the right and I saw that the doe was bigger but it was too late the smaller doe looked at me and would not turn, I swear I musta' been holding that bow for 7-8 minutes I couldn't hold it any longer, I tried to let it down as slow as possible, but they saw me! So they ran off snorting.. 20 minutes later 2 more does came threw, they started walking towards me. I heard fanit noise which I thought was a grunt. Sure enough couple seconds later I heard another grunt and then I spoted a good 6 point, noise glued to the ground chasing the does when suddenly I & the deer hear a deep long grunt the six point could have not been outta there any faster! And I look over to the pines and see this huge bodie of a deer, then I look up and see this amazing looking 12 point buck.. He starts chasing the does and they all went over the hill... I think the rut has started.

Oh, Know I am lucky enough to have access to 300 acres right across from my house..I asked some locals earlier they said hes kind of hard headed and know one has been able to get permisson. I'll ask anyhow though.

No I am not. I was just raised to respect nature and to leave it cleaner then how you found.

Holy Cow, that was really cool!

Just got back from were I shot her cleaned up all my tissues marking the blood trail. As I was down there I went down wind and didn't smell anything dead. Also no crows in sight. Maybe she survived?

bonus of being Homeschooled. When did I say I was driving?

Excuse me? What makes you think that? Look at the time on my posts, from the time I said I was heading back out to the time That I got back it had been 4 hours.. I did every Possible thing to my knowledge to retrive the deer, even had help from somone who has alot (50 years) more expiernce then I to help locate the animal. There was nothing more I could have done.

11? I thought I mentioned in a earlier post about 6 inchs of the arrow (Including broad head) was missing.

Just had a Momma And a baby walk past me o:

Well,After the mishap that happend yesderday. (Shot a deer never found it. I am back in the stand hoping to see somthing!

Well no Recovery was made. I had some friends come out and help look we followed the bloodtrail right into a corn field were we searched for her for 3 hours and found zip... So we beileve it was a flesh wound.. Thanks for all your help everyone.

No the landowner is not home so I cant asl for permisson.

Found another drop of blood. Dosent close the distance much though..

Well I went in took a 20 minute nap had lunch, Now im about to head back out.

Looking for crows! Thats a really good idea.

Do you think that deer will return to her normal activtys? Or will she abandon her old patterns.
