Most interesting place you have killed a deer
« on: December 03, 2012, 11:50:15 PM »
 Ever see the movie "Sling Blade"?  Remember when Carl goes to visit his father Robert Duval? That old house is right next to my folks' property in Avilla, Arkansas. I've killed several smoker white tails in that backyard and on the rest of that property. The movie was filmed in my hometown.

Funny you mentioned this subject.
Back in 1991 or 92 I was working movie security for Warner Brother's in Southern California.  A friend of my Dad's was in charge of a big ranch out in Santa Clarita where they filmed a bunch of tv shows and movies, one show was the Duke's of Hazzard.  My buddy and I lived in a little house on a hill just above the Boar's Nest and Uncle Jessie's place.  In the evenings we kept seeing deer come down to a moat that was built for the Movie "Nothing But Trouble" to get water.  There were a couple of nice bucks in the group.  The guy that was in charge of the place bought me a non-resident deer tag and I shot a decent 3 point Cali blackie in an oak grove about 200 yards behind Uncle Jessie's house.  That was such a cool ranch to be on.  It was several hundred acres and we drove our trucks like mad men up and down the same roads that they filmed the General Lee burning down.

That IS an interesting place to kill a deer.

I had no idea the Dukes were filmed in California, but i did always think that the vegetation and such looked wrong for Georgia. Cool story!

Hunt all year and see nothing and hear nothing.  Put a lot of miles on my boots and miles on my truck in pursuit of the elusive deer...nothing.  No track, no deer do, nothing.  I was beginning to wonder if I was out hunting deer or just 'armed hiking'... :bash:

Then the last day of hunting season I come home and there is a buck in my garden eating my raspberries.  I say exsqueese me? 
I grabbed my smoke pole from my truck, loaded it and walked over to the garden...shot a raspberry eating deer.
It had a slight raspberry taste to the steaks.... :chuckle:

I don't know if this fits the qualifications of being interesting, but it kind of blew me away to hunt all year and then tag this one in own back yard.
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

Quite a few years ago last day of modern eastside deer... Had school the next day and how my schedule was at the time with work, school, girls, and more girls... I wasn't going to be able to make maybe a day of late season if that... Maybe an evening or two..

I left my perch about 930 seeing nothing... Dad wanted to meet back at camp by 11 to pack up ...  Almost back to camp and a doe runs across the logging skid with a legal buck in tow...  :bash:  Now I'm kicking myself for not being ready... I follow their tracks as best I can before I lose them... I am way above camp now and gonna be late... Start heading down toward camp dejected and kicking rocks.... Turn my radio on @ 11 am... Knew I was close to camp because how steep the ridge was getting... Slipped, fell, tumbled... First I did was jump up and make sure nobody saw... Check my rifle out... Then body.... Look around one more time... A little flat spot almost 400 yards away with massive elevation drop between us.. A deer standing there staring at me.. Throw binocs up... Legal buck... Rifle goes boom... I see deer is hit... Fall again... Dad is on the radio before I can get up... He watched me fall both times through the trees and thought my rifle went off...  :chuckle:  I get down there and show him the dead deer not 50 yards from the trailer... He'd been there for 40 minutes within 100 yards of that buck... Which turned out to be a small 4x benchleg.... Easiest pack out ever... I got it mounted just to remind him everytime he comes over...

 :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:  Had that happen this year as well for a cousin of mine.  went up a couple of times walked for miles and then re-located the following weekend and met up with some good guys and didn't make it more than 3/4 of a mile from the vehicle and what do you know he gets a buck.  I was familiar with the area from hunting there for quite a while but it was his first year there and he nabbed a buck right at shooting light after many years of a dry spell.  good day for him. :tup:
