My first whitetail hunt

[Wanttohuntmore]

If you are lucky enough to get one during the day, don't get close to it for pictures until well after sunset. :-)

babahha

someone been watching too much hunting shows 


I'm currently paying that extra 4 dollars/month to get myself educated on how to get er done.  This thread will help a ton

You also forgot the 2 Go-pro cameras one bolted to your chest to see what you see and the one on the weapon to catch facial expressions. All the latest state of the art scent blocker clothes with Hang tags!! A scope able to make a shot into the next county.

[KFhunter]

oh yup yup

go pro on a stick, even better

  The Butt out tool just seems so WRONG!!!

I was like WTF when I started reading this this morning before I had any coffee. After about the third line I caught on and cracked up. Soooo true for tv standards!!

.......................and most importantly, your cell phone, so you can call your buddies and tell them how hard it was to kill a " 10 pointer " on the
Scrub Brush Ranch in Texass and then call the guide to come and getcha............

your going to want to make sure your "stand" has double pane vinyl windows.  It can get cold in your studio apartment, excuse me, your stand with a cheap window.  Also don't be affraid to help all us other hunters out  take a cull buck.  Nothing I hate more than seeing bucks that will never grow bigger than 150 class out there ruining the gene pool.

You have all made this much to difficult...everyone knows you just drive around all day and fling arrows at deer

[Redbeard]

Did you practice your 30 second fist pump followed by a quick mention of religion?  Also after you gutshoot the deer,  keep the camera angles just short of the bad shot.

What about the camo recliner for the tree house blind...got to be comfy

And a good set of ear plugs, because your smoking hot wife's voice is almost as annoying as  preset #7 on your fox pro

Did I just miss it or did he forget his 800 lbs of Come ere deer for his 1/4 acre bait pile!

Also make sure you have no brand loyalty on anything.  Whomever pays you money makes the best product on the planet - no discussion!  You may have to chose between Hoyt, Mathews and CVA as often they don't like you cashing too many checks on one hunt.  And remember...no matter whether the camera shows a bullet hitting your deer in the head at long range or your arrow hitting the hams it doesn't matter.  It was a perfect shot through the boiler room with your sponsors product.  Video cameras can be misleading about that.  It looked like a head shot, but it really was a perfect Powerbelt/Rage/Berger placement from your CVA/Hoyt/Mathews/Thompson.  Just ask the good looking blonde how awesome the shot was and everyone will forget you gut shot it.

Oh and don't forget nobody wants to see you enjoy yourself always.  You will need to make up some sort of confrontation with someone.  A son or daughter would be best, but spouses and land owners will do in a pinch.  The more stupid the disagreement the better. Leave the common sense at home. No one wants to watch that.  And if you can be a complete dumb arse and take some time off from hunting to look for gold...you've got a prime time spot ahead of you.

We had quite a bit of progress in the past week. Invested in some deer bait, hung cameras, put out bait piles and got my first sponsorship (had to buy the batteries and I think they were giving away free hats that day anyway). I felt awkward carrying those 50# bags o' deer bait uphill...pretty sure that I was supposed to be using my gator, electric UTV, "side by side utility vehicle" or my new 2014 Ford F-whatever 10-buck killin edition to carry em but I used a pack frame like the rookie I am. Also I was supposed to have automatic feeders, didn't get them (couldn't find sponsorship) and I think there were too many trees for my wireless trailcamera system to transmit pictures 150 miles, could be that I didn't hook up the transmitters or that I don't have any wireless capable cameras. At the end of the weekend I got 4 cameras out and 3 bait piles I've been told by the landowner that in two of the spots I'll "kill a trophy for sure". Now I just have to practice my shooting at ranges of 30-40' because it appears that's about as long a shot as I'll have in the moose jungle that is unit 121!!
