Road hunting at 45mph?
« on: October 22, 2011, 07:09:04 PM »
I just spent most of the day in the Snoqualmie Hancock tree farm and I didn't see anything but does. I am fairly new to deer hunting and was trying to figure out how going that fast is doing you or any other hunter any good. I am probably not going fast enough with my music loud and hooting out the window to see the bucks. Learn something new everyday.

Sounds like Vail!  They are either going 45-60 or 5-10 mph.  :chuckle:

45 is a little slow, you get a more human kill at 50 mph, just my opinion!  :chuckle:

Sunday mornings make the best hunting and grocery store trips! :chuckle:

I think only us preachers find it important to be in church during the season.  At least thats the way it seems where I live.  Good luck on the hunt though

Don't forget to leave your headlights on, it will startel the deer long enough that their timing is off and WHAMMM.  :IBCOOL:
