2009 Road Hunting Buck
« on: January 26, 2011, 08:30:45 AM »
I wanted to share my deer I got a couple years ago while road hunting. I worked for a timber company at the time and a co worker and I had keys to all the gates. The company gave us permission to drive and hunt behind the gates. On Thursday of late buck, we seen 6 bucks before noon. 2 spikes, 2 2points, and 2 3points. We basically just drove around until I spotted this deer on a hillside with a couple does. I got out of the truck, got off the road,  and shot it. Then we put it in the truck and continued to drive around. I kind of felt bad when we drove past guys who had hiked in, because it was pouring down rain, and we were in the warm cab of the pickup. I hope you guys like the pics.

Hell with the naysayers, I'd say a good 80% of guys drive and glass when they hunt, especially on days like that!

Way to go man!

Road hunting is not my prefered meathod, but if I had keys to timber co's I'd be doing the same thing(road hunting) and wouldn't feel  too bad for the guys hiking in  :chuckle:  again another nice blacktail.

80% of hunters don't have the keys to locked gates!

Nice buck! Who really cares how you choose to hunt as long as It's legal. Driving around glassing clear cuts can be very affective. Nice job!  :tup:

Don’t be haters; it was a legal and ethical hunt.

Nice buck.

Could you drive the truck up to it or did you have to drag him to the road?

It’s a good story too.  He could have easily made a few changes:

I wanted to share my deer I got a couple years ago while road hunting. I worked for a timber company at the time and a co worker and I had keys to all the gates. The company gave us got permission to drive and   hunt behind the gates. On Thursday of late buck, we seen 6 bucks before noon. 2 spikes, 2 2points, and 2 3points. We basically just drove around until I spotted this deer on a hillside with a couple does. I got out of the truck, got off the road, stalked within range and shot it. Then we put it in the truck and continued to drive around. I kind of felt bad when we drove past guys who had hiked in, because it was packed it out in a pouring down rain, and we were in the warm cab of the pickup. I hope you guys like the pics.

Can't knock the guy for taking advantage of perk to his job. . . That's like bashing the pencil pushers from the Seattle area on here for getting free copies on the company copy machine, while I have to pay for them at Kinkos! lol

And that 80% is anywhere there's access to a gate, regardless of how they have it, by way of keys or the gate being opened already.

Personally I drive and glass every morning and every evening.  I hit the brush mid day.
