Modern guys not hunting RIGHT NOW are really missing out
« on: October 13, 2012, 04:48:58 PM »
It's a deer highway around here right now.  This all day rain has got them really moving.  I've counted 17 deer today between those in my yard and those that are wandering around the roads

Well we are hunting but haven't seen a deer all day. Maybe we need to be hunting in your backyard.

we've been in the woods for a week and haven't been on deer but one day. Trying to get a kid a doe for his first deer with the special draw tag.
hopefully luck will change
haven't seen it this bad ever

I talked with my buddy in Republic an hour or so ago and he had 17 whitetails in his pasture this evening.  5 were bucks and one a bruiser.  Now he just has to keep the yayhoos from shooting at them from the highway.

How do you know they didn't see them and just pass on by because they knew it was private property?

Not saying this is the case, but from what I've seen, when guys see legal animals on private property they usually stop and at least look.  Some may just slow down, some a quick stop, some guys get out binoculars, some will even start doing U-turns and then looking for the property owners gate/house for a phone number or see if someone is home.  I know it's possible, but rarely see hunters just cruise on past legal animals during the season, even on private property.

If I was driving by your land and saw a legal deer bedded I wouldn't trespass to shoot it. I guess it's easier or makes you feel better to just assume the worst of everyone and toss around insults. :dunno:

Funny a number of trucks stopped
 and hunters bailed out their trucks and pointed rifles at does on my land. Most were fawns

In addition, Chased 4 hunters off posted property on opener


Bucks were bedded on public property
