ROAD HUNTERS!!!

[Tman]

wow. completely shocked at how many think this behavior is ok.

Huntnw posts nailed it on the head....

[PolarBear]

 
I say leave the road hunting to the elderly, disabled and kids, otherwise if you are able bodied you are just being lazy.    

[Blacktail Sniper]

Just more examples of why hunters as group are our own worst enemy.  If it is legal and safe, why should anyone care, judge, or degrade someone else's choice or style?

That's the one thing the anti's have right...they stick together!

PolarBear you crack me up with your constant need to let everyone know that your hunting methods reign supreme as compared to the lazy masses.

One day everyone here can at least hope to achieve your elite status so that we can look down on others with constant judgement.

Until then, from one fellow hunter to another - Happy Thanksgiving

Ummmmmm.   Just you then???

Not sure what you even mean by that., but I guess you caught me.

If you mean look at deer in someones big field without the intent to kill then yes.

If you mean road hunt on public land and kill big deer yearly, then yes.

I do my fair share of walking, but I always get a kick out of guys walking 5-10 miles a day and must of them never seeing a deer. If you know the deer is there then cool, go after it. If you are out of your area with no scouting, you would have to be out of your mind to start charging over hills blind.

You can call it what you want, but no one can tell me road hunting isnt the best during the rut. Ive killed too many big deer to be told otherwise. Just some advice from an old timer.

Ya know I have more respect for the guys that hike those 5-10 miles a day and spend 2-3 yrs between getting an animal. And even when they arrow or shoot  a Doe or a Cow 3 miles down in some hell hole and it takes ya 8hours to drag it out to the nearest road, only to have another 2 miles back to the truck.  And on that walk you run into the Game Warden who asked you where ya got your critter? And you can look him in the eyes and tell him your story, and he doesn't even question it, because he can see the tired truth of a real hunter.
 As apposed to others that blast something from a logging road and quickly load it in there truck or stuff it in the back seat or wait till the cover of darkness.  And every once in a to few while, one of you gets pinched.  Then ya come on  these forums and BITCH about that Mean oll' Gamie who just had it out for you' or it's a "technicality"

If road hunting isn't your thing then fine. It's an extremely effective way to hunt, and no one can tell me otherwise. As long as you shoot it on public land then I don't see the problem.

Ive killed my biggest blacktail by scouting and walking in on him. Ive killed my biggest whitetail and mule deer by road hunting in the rut. I dont have the time or money to scout out of state and to me it's down right stupid to walk into some place ten miles without knowing whats in there. If thats your thing and you just want to be outdoors. Ok cool, but dont look down on someone who road hunts. The deer are moving a lot during the rut. Covering as much ground as possible is best in my eyes and has worked to great success. You still have to spot it, which I have found most can't, and you still have to get out and put the stalk in on it.

And like I have said before, I have killed deer sitting, walking, and driving for many, many years. Nothing beats road hunting in the rut if you dont know the area. Ive seen it all and don't need any convincing. People have to understand that 90% of the hunters out there road hunt. It truly is that high. You may think you are special by jumping in the woods, but you are not. You are just another hunter. The best you can hope for is the satisfaction of knowing you worked ten times harder, and that is cool with me. I can respect that.

I will say one more thing. I love hunting out of state, and one of the main reasons I choice to road hunt when out of state, besides finding it stupid to walk in blind, or the fact the deer are moving a lot in the rut and its best to cover ground. I LOVE to see all the country. Love driving around and seeing as much land as possible, and YES, LOVE to stop and look at deer in someones farm. Will I stop doing that? No. It's never even crossed my mind to shoot into someones field. Don't let the 1% of illegal hunters out there make you disrespect guys like me.

Fine, you've said your piece and I mine.
Have a happy Thanksgiving

Whatever, I am superior to nobody!  I don't really care how others hunt as long as it is legal.  I just have my own standards and they are jut that, my own.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes here in the PNW everybody has adopted a behavior of entitlement! 
Seems instead of doing your own homework and putting in the hard work or scouting and planning need not apply. It's a liberal belief that's what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine own.
Guessing you voted for Obama...

That's one of the silliest things I've read.  Today, I went scouting so I could be supercool and put in my hard work just like all of the really cool superhunters.  On the way home I had the AUDACITY to slow down and glass some deer in an area that I couldn't even hunt.  I'm sure I violated somebody, somewhere....

geeze! your just a worthless road hunter! how dare you even think you have the right to look at wildlife from a road! who do you think you are GOD? i even walk the highway from wenatchee to quincy to my hunting spot because im so much better than you!  lol i hunt a ton of private property...and you wanna know why? because i stopped and glassed it first and then i went and asked for permission and normally get it and shortly after i normally call in a coyote!  what a concept! according to some of you on here that pretty much makes me a poaching road hunter some how....how do i live with myself! guess im just a lowlife criminal who needs put in prison for life according to the thought process of some of the people on here

[predatorpro]

oh and that also makes me a potential IDIOT according to someone on here

[furiouzgeorge]

Looks like I stirred up the hornets nest! I was really just trying to break the back patting marathon and bring a few more guys like Tman out of the woodwork. Guess it worked ;-) I hope I made it pretty clear in my last post that my biggest problem with road hunting or loitering around other folks property is the logistical problem. Quite frankly I think it's unsafe to operate a motor vehicle while scanning the fields and thickets for deer. You might find it perfectly safe but I call it distracted driving. As far as the comment that I made about the invasion of privacy...If someone was scoping out my yard my first assumption would be that they were up to no good...hunter orange or not. Maybe after I realized they were 'hunters' or folks with a legitimate interest in wildlife instead of tweakers scoping out my place, I would feel less suspicious, but not much more respectful. If your hunting, get to it, if you wanna look at animals be polite about it. I'm sure most of you on here are polite about it...or at least I was sure until I read some of your posts. Most people out there are pretty well behaved but there are some bad apples that REALLY muck up the reputation of hunters. Remember folks that it's not the uber-hunter out in the woods who makes the impression on the public, he's out of sight and out of mind...instead it's the guy idling outside of the public's driveway. If that's the only thing the public has to judge us on we're all in pretty sore shape.

I've killed a few deer while road hunting.... (it wasn't intended just an oppotunity that happened) Driving from one spot to another... In public or timberland... All legal.... We were driving.... Saw the legal animal.... Jumped out as fast as possible and the luckiest person gets a shot... Usually the passenger... Which I was all 3 times.... Oh two spike bulls I've shot while bailing out of the rig and putting a cap on the ml... Now that's tough shooting... Again all legal on timberland... Legal roads to drive... Was just going to point b from a and out they came..... I wouldn't say no to that and who would?? But I guess some will think I'm just some lazy road hunter....

On a funny note a fellow road hunter pulled up while I was boning out a spike on the side of the road.... He asked wth I was doing.... I explained how easy it was to bone out now then load and move all the quarters.... He chuckled and went on to tell me how to load them whole and get them to the butcher!!!

I suposed to care or follow this why?
I'ts not illegal at least not yet and glassing deer just because its on posted land is some how imoral?
Looks like someone want us/me to follow what they think is right an only them.
Did I somehow wake up in Russia or something or China ya they own us but did I?
Me and a friend this year on opening say spoted some deer out behind a fence and still stoped and glassed OMFG.
One was a pretty nice 3pt wanted to shoot but didn't we looked moved on then went somewhere else. Tell me how this is wrong or imoral somehow?
As for the anti roadhunting on here how dare you judge others. Last I looked were all hunters leave the you have to act like me crap alone and stand together. Don't nit pick each other GEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!
You people that do this kind of crap pee me off. Your entitled to your opinion, but what your not entitled to is tell me or others how to act.
Road hunters don't bother me never have I never understand why it does so many others. What that going to be ilegal now? Or glassing deer even if it's on posted land Comon isn't there other issues you can whine about rather than this?
How about writing your legislater about hound hunting and try to get that back. Or if you want to whine and bitch lets talk about the tree hugers on here or stand hunters lets pick on them. Or baiters I bet I can name a whole lot of practisees out there that some people don't like. You pick on others they also have the right to pick back. Hell lets all sign a petition to end bow hunting, or muzle loading. Hell lets go all the way lets all back anti hunting groups and end the whole fricking thing all together. Seems like that is the only way you guys are going to be happy anyhows.
Nit pick the whole thing down to what you guys like and we all lose. Up to you though.

[csaaphill]

I could be wrong and please correct me if I am. I thought somehow that if the property is posted " no hunting" even the land owner by law could not hunt that land either... Some guy from the local NRA was talking to me about that... Just hear say, speculation... 

yeah that use to be the law atleast. i think it still is.

actually ya that lets do that lets make it law saying if you post land no huntign then you can't hunt neither.
Let me say I bet all you people say that glassing at deer on county or public road is somehow wrong would shut up huh?

i agree! all these anti road hunters on here i gurantee have shot an animal while driving to a spot, even tho they act like they never have! they are full of crap! im really gettin sick of this site and all the arrogant narcistic people on it that all they do is bitch about EVERYTHING! everyone is entitled to a rant here and there....but bitching cuz someone drove down a public road and stopped is getting stupid....i seriously doubt every person you see stop on YOUR public road is some tweaker staking out your house! or some poacher! have you had anything stolen lately that would have anything to do with the people stopping on the road? have you had any recent poachers that you have seen poach anything on your property?  you live in a world full of other people incase you didnt know so get use to seeing them! cuz people will be driving down YOUR road tell the end of time, im thinkin i might just go drive down your road and stop every 200 yards and look for deer!
