Shot 75 yards off a road, last day last year and I could not walk (ankle)

I should of let him go cause he was next to a road?  Hell No.

Nice post RT. :tup:

I did my fair share of burning boot leather this year to no avail, the last Monday of the season Mr Buck decided to commit suicide by road. I still ended up packing him up a steep ridge almost a mile on our backs because he went down hill before I caught him for the kill shot.

I actually like packing them out on my back, it kinda feels good in a wired way. But I won't pass on a road buck either.    :chuckle:


Dang! a 30" from the road! lets see though, Deduct 4" spread for road hunting, add back 2.75" for the steep climb out (if greater than a 2 to 1 slope) add in a bonus 1.33" of spread for admitting you road hunt, CONGRATS on the 30" buck!! :tup: :tup:

I honistly  can't even believe  this is a point of discussion  amongst  hunters ........
:yeah: Unfortunately I can believe it, this is the what this site has gone to, 8 years ago this would not be a discussion.
If its's legal then it's ok in my book. It may not be very sporting but it's food on the table.

It would have been a great topic to use the search function on to find older posts/rants on the same topic.

Since we're on this topic, roadhunting kill. Drove the truck up and loaded him whole. Took him to the barn and broke him down there.

If you are not killing them bare handed while naked and living off the land and huddling under a bush at night in the cold you are just quibbling about how much technology is "ethical".  Driving vs hiking, cartridge vs muzzle loader, rifle vs bow, pulleys vs sticks, thinsulate vs wool, electronic calls vs mouth calls, baiting vs stalking, spotting scopes vs eyes, it is all just picking the level of technology that works for you.  Stay legal and get out there.

I prefer to get out into the woods and hike, but I also need to have more people hunting and supporting the hunting cause.  When it comes time to lobby for hunting, vote for hunting, or open our pockets to support conservation we need as many hunters as we can get.

PS, when I go bow hunting it is with a wooden bow made by my wife and wooden arrows.  If I ever shoot anything I will lord it over all you guys using training wheels.  Really.  :)

Road hunting truly is hunting if you ask the Native Americans as that's what they seem to do best

We passed a bunch of them up there those days were hunting.

That is NOT road hunting kill, that is a deer hunting kill.  :sry:

I know,  I am very proficient in road hunting. In fact  I have achieved the road hunting Slam in WA, ID, and Montana. Yep that's right, a slam, one of each species in all three states, 2 track, dirt, gravel, and asphalt. The last one was a little chewy though. I also believe I may hold the state record, it was a whopping 38 miles long. I normally don't post pictures of my trophy roads but I will make an exception this time...and NO, I am not long arming in the pic, it really was 38 miles (the pic just doesn't do it justice) and for reference in size, check out that huge bush on the side.

PLEASE don't try and decipher where this harvest happened, For this is my pot hole area (same as a honey hole for deer hunting.)
I am positive that this road has come to a intersection with another road, spread its gravel, and we will continue to see it's genetics in many more trophy roads yet to be made.  :4w:

Hunting is the process of looking for, or seeking to find your prey.
Truck, car, atv, motorbike, bicycle, horse, boots, etc, these are forms of transportation.
So if you are out and about looking for deer, YOU ARE HUNTING. Really does not matter what type of transportation you are using, if your looking your hunting.

Road hunting does not mean shooting from a vehicle. I, personally, find hunting from a high horse pathetic as well.

Is trolling from a high horse pathetic as well ?  :chuckle:  I do like to troll at times but not sure if using a high horse is acceptable.

As long as they don't block roads and let others by I have no issues with road hunting.  :twocents:
In God we trust, all others bring cash.
