What do you want to bet that the rifle was bore sighted for this hunt and never fired at a target. Sad to consider these guys as hunters or sportsmen.
if only they would have bore sighted in that rifle for long range shooting

Like the clown I saw launch an arrow at a buck that was over 100 yards away and walking :bdid: for the record I don't consider shooting 400 yards unethical but obviously this guy shouldn't have been shooting that far.

Bigger WOW. Pretty surprised to hear that. They sure don't let the "free permit" hunters get away with anything like that. Guess if you pay $5 grand you can do whatever :dunno: Poor reflection on the whole operation.
So is the "guide" one of the Stevens'?

It was not guided by Stevens, it was a raffle hunt. Pretty pathetic shooting
Thought they would guide the raffle winners, or at least keep an eye on them better than that :dunno:
Hope they at least gave him a serious a** chewing and invited him to never come back.

Are you talking about the buck run raffle, or the east side deer raffle?
Either way it's certainly nothing to be proud of. Seriously, when you have a guy spotting for you saying; "that one hit him high in the spine, that one hit him in the neck, that one hit him in the rear end".....ridiculous!

The guy doesnt even have the skill to cycle his bolt without picking his gun up and moving it 3 feet and holding it vertical, how does he think hes going to make a 400 yard shot?I was thinking the same thing. I'm not an expert at rifle shooting techniques, but unless you have just a single shot, I know enough to know you should try not to remove the rifle out of position each time you want to cycle a round for launching, oops I meant shooting. I wonder where the rest of the lead ended up that didn't hit the target?

:stirthepot:
Shot my first deer at 40' with a 30-30. While I was learning to hunt, I learned to shoot. Pop cans with iron sights off hand at 100yds. I hope everyone learns that way. While I've been successful many times, I'm still learning to hunt! And I still practice my shooting. Hope everyone practices. I hope everyone knows their limits. Obviously some don't. But yes, as one other post said... Dead is dead.

I hunted Buckrun with my nephew who is in a wheel chair. Our family all chipped in and bought raffle tickets and he was lucky enough to draw a tag. Here is how it works. Raffle winners get ONE day to hunt. If you don't shoot a buck you are done. Landowner/Manager Derek Stevens assigns you to an area to hunt. He is NOT with you during your hunt. During our hunt the area we were assigned did not have many deer, we spotted a big buck on Dereks land but not in our designated area. I called Derek and he eventually allowed us to move to the area with the big buck. At the time I got the feeling that the only reason we were allowed to move was that we had a kid in a chair.
Derek is not in this video. Derek also gets a few landowner tags that he sells for around $6,000 each. He guides these hunters and they get to hunt until they fill their tag which usually only takes a day or two. He also sells some management hunts for around $ 1,500. These hunts are for old bucks with bad genetics, big two and three points. He also guides these hunters and they are one day hunts.
In my opinion this video should have no connection or reflection on the Stevens Family and Buckrun. Just hunters that made some bad choices, shooting outside their effective range, no orange, videoing and posting on Utube etc
Post by: Bullkllr on December 03, 2014, 08:07:16 AM
Anyone on here ever hunt Buck Run? I was under the impression that you show up and are assigned a section of the property to hunt, each person getting a different section. Wondering if this is true, and if so, why someone being told what section to hunt would also need a "guide". :dunno:
My son had the tag twice when he was younger; they had some pretty good draw tags in there for a couple years. Killed a management buck and a doe (first two deer, one shot each by the way). They took us to an area and left us to hunt. I was under the impression that some of their trophy hunts were guided. Sounds like Groundhog knows the score.

GH, I was not suggesting Buck Run or Mr Stevens were involved/to blame, only wondering why someone would even require a "guide" if assigned one small section to stay in? Did this guy really need a "guide" to point out which stack of hay to sit in?

To me, they really show a blanket disregard for the ethics and laws that pertain to hunting. The amount of rounds fired and apparent lack of concern, the attempt to put the orange on after the fact to "make it legal", and overall attitude make me wonder hmmm....what other laws do they break?
Clearly I wasn't there and can only assume but these guys really sum up ( to me ) those that glorify the killing, probably don't eat the meat, and put most hunters in a bad light.

at 40ft with my 30-30 at the age of 12. My dad would make me target practice with the 30-30 open sights at 100 yds with a pop can laying down facing me. That took practice but it paid off...

Must have been an ex girlfriend or wife who posted that on YouTube! Certainly the hunter wouldn't want that on the Internet for everyone to see. I noticed he wasn't very experienced shooting that rifle, every time he chambered another round he had to take it down off the hay bale it was rested on, to work the bolt. Why not just leave the rifle where it was and continue looking through the scope until you're done shooting?
Nope the dates on you tube they were put up over 1 yr ago so that would be right after the hunt ... After reading the comments on you tube I don't see why they left it up :dunno: there isn't one positive remark yet they have let it run and those comments are old too in fact one of the very first comments asks him to please take it down!!! :bash: I can see someone getting excited but then when you get blasted on your own video link, don't you think about it a little and come to your senses???
Look he is just not a very smart person, And everyone is expecting this not so smart of a person to have practiced, and become ethical? You know the saying??? "You cant fix stupid" and unfortunately there are stupid people that hunt and so like everything else a few bad apples will ruin it for the whole bunch. This is the type of stuff that the anti's drool over cause you know all of us hunters are just like this :rolleyes:
