zeke83 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Today it seems that all the tv shows, hunting products, magazines, and forums are always trying to make it easier to kill a deer. I want to know what is the most challenging way to kill a whitetail here in NY...With what weapon and what method. For example, spot and stalk with a handgun or long bow from a tree stand.

Deerthug Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Jumping on them with a hunting knife in your teeth Rambo style. Just kidding. No seriously I think the hardest way is with a recurve or longbow on spot and stalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Without coffee in the morning. Seriously I'm fine with the Bow as a challenge. I know it works and it works well. Why would I want to trip myself up with something else? I don;t even use mech heads. Edited December 27, 2011 by Fantail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Spears are not legal here, yet If it became legal, do you think there should be a BO requirement for spear season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four Season Whitetail's Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The most challenging way to kill a whitetail in ny would be to let him grow to atleast 3years of age and then harvest him with any legal means you would like!!!!

DTG3k Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Dress up as a doe. Wait for buck to take the bait. And stab him with a sharpened pencil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Simple question, Bare hands. Sit as quiet as possible on a known trail or near a food source. When the deer comes within arms reach (I've had this happen numerous times), grab the deer and the let the battle begin. No knives or any sharp tools. Just bare heads, choke the deer out cold or snap the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizCT Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Antlered Deer harvest #'s would drop, and fawn harvest #'s would increase. Remember when the NYS tags asked you to check off Adult or Fawn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Here's what I always thought would be one heck of a challenging way to get a deer: Make my own primitive longbow from a self procured native wood, with a sinew string. Make my own arrows from local wood, with turkey feathers, and knapped flint broadheads. In other words everything gathered and made as authentically primitive as possible. Absolutely nothing purchased, including scents, ground or tree stands, camo, etc., etc. And then go out and take a deer (any deer) with only the gear that I made. There's a case where even a spike or doe would deserve center attention on my wall and I would probably incorporate a bow and arrow rack into the mount to hi-lite the equipment. Now there is a challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFA-ADK Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hunt Moose River Plains, does not matter what you use, It's a challenge. Since 1991 I think my camp of about 2-8 guys(depending on year) have seen about 30-40 deer and only 6 of them were bucks... Not the greatest stats but thats forever wild... Try still hunting in the early season with any bow, I found it very hard with all the ground cover catching onto everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyantler Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Two I have on my bucket list 1) Flintlock on a snowy day... 100" buck or better... Adirondack Mts...Tracking ... hard just keeping powder dry. 2) Recurve... cedar arrow... P&Y Buck.. from the ground.. inside 20 yards.. this one I have had all the elements a few times but without a clear shot... pretty exciting watching a 125 class buck walk by inside 20 yards without a shot.. be even more exciting when I do get a shot.

Pygmy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Lasso deer..... Tie deer to tree..... Force deer to watch re-runs of "Leave it to Beaver" until it dies of boredom, WITHOUT falling asleep yourself.
