Maybe I should be hunting blacktails in my driveway

Or down at the end of our block.  5x6 if you count the long brow tines.  He runs with some real big ones and he is no slouch in his own right.  He's old now, he was a real Jim Dandy in his prime. 

You might want to ask him if the rut has started?   

#$%^&^%$%^??!!!!! That's a cow with antlers!!!

I wouldn't call him that to his face.  I saw him turn a full grown Saint Bernard into a bathmat in less than 30 seconds.  Broke damn hear every bone in his body.

Stick it. My only unethical hunting shortfall is I believe if I own property (one day) & there is game on it and I need meat to feed my family they will be a living target for bow practice. Most call it poaching, I call filling my tag/ kids tummies out of season.

I'm a little late but I'll back this. When my mom was growing up on the farm in Montana they had some leannnnn years where they could only afford what they could  grow as spare in the garden and what they could kill. They dropped 5 deer one night to have as meat to get through the winter. If you really need it, do it imo.

If you "really" need it, does anybody really "need" it? If so, kill a big fat doe before the rut. Let those pet bucks spread their seed far and wide.

Notice:  To all hunters with unfilled tag - There is a hot doe somewhere in the vicinity of Gobble Doc's yard.
