moog5050 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 recurves, compounds, shotgun, rifles, and ML. Still waiting for that atlatl approval! Technically I used a knife to finish one off before but I would prefer to avoid doing that again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robhuntandfish Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I've never taken a deer with my muzzleloader. By the time season gets here it's so cold and I usually already have venison in the freezer. Might have to use it during regular gun this year. It might be my most accurate gun at 100 yards away. The thing is dead on. Would like to break it in but it's hard not to take a regular gun. And I would like to fill it in muzzleloader season. Prob depends on how the archery season goes. But would like to add the 50 cal to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPHunter Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Mossberg 500 12ga. Up until last year it is all I have ever hunted with. I hope I get to break in the 7mm-08 this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Several different compounds from Darton, Matthews, Bowtech, and Elite. 12 and 16ga, .35 Rem, .270, and .308. Also 50cal ML. I think thats all. I definitely need to add recurve to that list, one of these years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year I was chasing a nice 8 pt around. But by then i usually have 2-3 deer in the freezer and a whole LOT of hours in the field. Also the places i hunt are just setup for being on stand and really not big enough for a walk around day . Plus its just damn cold out ... I dont really even hunt gun season as much either cause i love the bow season. But all hunting is good and i have always looked at it as a safety net in case i havent gotten a deer it gives me an extra few days. I always thought a late season mule deer muzzleloader hunt would be pretty neat to go out on. Just with a general tag on public land but never put it together to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jperch Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I have harvested deer with recurve, compound, shotgun with slugs, muzzleloader and crossbow. The question did say "kill", not "harvested" so I'll add a knife and splitting maul. I live off of a highway and there is usually one to two deer hit per year in front of my house. Luckily so far none of the vehicles have been motorcycles. By the way, the knife incident was definitely not a good idea but was the only tool available. I found a 3 legged deer that had fallen into a sharp ravine and she could barely move. I was a kid, did not want to see it suffer anymore. But in retrospect it was unwise.

Just Lucky Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 With a knofe it isnt bad when done the way I was shown. Stick it in the throat then cut out, don't try to cut from outside in, doesn't work so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I've done is six in one day more doubles and triples then I can remember.I also hunted a few nuisance property's which gave me two extra months to hunt and where loaded with deer.The main goal was to fill the freezer with choose cuts. I know my location says Stratford,ny but I live on long island over populated with deer.To shoot two deer in the morning then two in the afternoon was no big accomplishment.The picture with the two bucks on the lawn.I shot both within minutes of each other and let a smaller spike walk.

Stick it in the throat then cut out, don't try to cut from outside in, doesn't work so good It was a long time ago but my recollection is that she had use of at least one hoof. We all know those are dangerous. I can't use a gun to dispatch a deer at my house because of nearby homes. The last one was still in the road and still could use its hooves. A humane way to dispatch a deer is to hit it in the neck just behind the head with a sledge or whatever heavy object is handy. Don't hit the head itself, my experience is that does not work well. I sure don't like any of this but it's safe and quick for the deer. I can't see waiting for who knows how long while a deer suffers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot 327 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Recurve, compound, car, truck and shotgun. One time while hunting I heard a commotion in a creek bottom and walked over to investigate. A young lad had wounded a small buck and run out of ammo. He was trying to finish off the hapless criiter by throwing small boulders at it. Fellow would not let me shoot "his deer". After several minutes I was able to talk him into using one of my slugs. I didn't realize until today that he was after the coveted "took deer by boulder" designation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I won't breakdown the different rifle chamberings, just "implements" the way I classify them......... Longbow, recurve and compound Shotgun Centerfire rifle Bolt action pistol Blackpowder (real blackpowder) muzzleloader, inline ML'r with pellets and inline ML'r with smokeless powder. Never killed one with a vehicle; knocked a few down but AFAIK they all survived. Never killed one with a knife, hammer, ax, combine etc. Don't want to either.

Pygmy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Come on, Larry...You probably just can't remember all the chamberings....
