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 so frackin cool!!!  Daisy Duke, ahhhhhhh.

I shot my first deer within 10 yards of my car after tracking it in circles for miles all day long. Big whitetail doe dressed out at 135. I backed the '74 or so Oldsmobile Omega up to the bank where she dropped and slid her down the hill right onto the roof. Dad wasn't pleased about the roof dents.

I took a Sika deer in New Zealand on the north island.  Shot a Red Stag that trip too.

The Sika was the best hunt though.  I was eating lunch sitting above a valley and I was watching a couple of stags on the far side of the valley.  Watched them for some time when a Sika 4 point stepped out right by them.  None of them paid any attention to the other it seemed.

Sipping my soda and watching for 15 minutes or so, they were a long way off.  Figured I couldn't screw up too badly if I tried to put a sneak on them, worst I could do is not get across to them and it was in the general direction of camp.  It took about 20 minutes to get over where they were, problem became there wasn't much if any cover once I got to about 500 yards.  I ranged a tree that was about 300 yards from me in some failry tall grass with some clumps of bushes between me and the tree.

Decided to take a chance and get to the tree.  Worked across between the clumps of bushes and got to the last clump without spooking the Sika, the stage had wandered off into the woods nearby.  No good shot unless I could make it to the tree so I finally just waited until it was feeding away from me with it's head down.  Made a run for the tree and got there.

It wasn't too long before the Sika started to feed down the rise it was on and I got a good rest for the shot.

When I got to NZ I hadn't planned on a Sika but as things turned out I ended up with a nice one.  Here are pics of both the Sika and the Red Stag.

Hopefully not my last one down there but if it was it was worth it.  I'd love to get back down there, most friendly folks you could imagine. South Island is amazing too and totally different than the north, I got a Chamois and a Thar on the south island.

Well it's not exotic or very exciting, but I have killed two deer on hwy. 395  that had their backs broken by vehicles......?..didn't have my pistol, so I used my hands and choked them out. :'(

"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

Most interesting spot i killed a deer.

How about the first placed I looked. I got out of the truck, looked left and seen a Buck, and shot said buck. Usually we hunt all year and kill our deer in the last spot we look  :chuckle:

I did the same thing once but used the tire iron for the jack in my buddies car.  He about puked watching me do it(he is a west side tree hugger type of guy though).

I drew a special permit in MO for an arboretum just outside the St. Louis area.  It was a muzzleloader antlerless only hunt in January 1993.  The whole area was fenced.  Killed a nice big doe the first morning of a 2 day hunt.  Never to this day have I been anywhere where I seen that many whitetail deer in such a small area.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice
