Any Deer Hunters Out There?

[cbass1976]

what did you get?????

[maddy]

Not a hunter, but was raised in a hunting family... did all the hunters hear of the tragedy in Northern Wisconsin?

[rabbit]

Well, I allow deer hunters by permission only.

Thus far, two does and a near miss at an 8-pointer (or so the guys says).

It's deer season, not wabbit season."

I used to hunt deer with a bow, felt it was more of a challenge, but haven't been able to for a few years, want to do it again.

[WildIrish]

I hunt with my bare hands. That's why I'm so thin. :D

[PantyFanatic]

I hunt with my bare hands. ..... :D

Another vegetarian? :rolleyes:

[Sharni]

We Aussies arent real big on the hunting deer thing (thank gawd...poor Bambi)

Headlines: Six dead deerhunters in Wisconsin - arguing over tree.

My first thought, gun toting republicans. Glad they all had guns this time.

T'aint deer season here yet (day after Thanksgiving the big guns come out), but my boss and sons are hunting bare...um...bear...up in their mountain cabin at the moment. I wished him a fun time but told him I wouldn't wish him good luck cause I don't want him to shoot a thing! I've gotta admit though, I like deer season for one reason only...it's so peaceful at work round this time of year (with all the big bosses gone)!

NOTE TO HUNTERS: Take Lixy hunting with ya. I'll be spot peeing everwhere and I'll suddenly take up yodeling...*yodeleigheeeewhoooooo* I hear deer are drawn to that stuff! TeeHee!

[Cheyanne]

LOL ^^^^^^^^ spot peeing!!!

Gone are the days, I think, where hunters only hunted for food. Now it is more of a sport. We live in the country and are surrounded by excellent hunting land. We oftentimes see deer hunters trolling for deer in the pickups with cell phones.. (sick and illegal if they are caught). I am not into mounting a deer head on my wall!

It does't bother me that animals are hunted - especially if hunted for food and not sport. I wouldn't mind having a freezer full of venison, phesants, wild turkey. It would be that much less spent at the grocery store!!!

My feelings exactly, Chey. When my dad was still alive, venison kept us fed during the winter....and far be it from me to stop someone from hunting for food.

Also ~ been shocked by the over-population of deer these past few years. We get them inthe CITY -- lost and confused. it's sad....

True, true!!! The conbination of venison and wild game + garden stuff can keep a family fed during hard times! Cobalt and I sometimes wonder if we are living in the wrong century...

Sometimes I wonder if we really have an overpopulation of deer, thus them roaming into our cities osuche...there is so much construction going on - I think we an encroaching on their territory with new housing developments and road construction, and because of that the deer are confused... it is sad.

I know in Wisconsin, deer hunting is nearly a year-round season now with special chronic wasting hunts (yup, it's a disease, and I wouldn't eat the meat - they allow the hunters to go out and shoot them for the sport of it... or the DNR has to go out and snipe them), t-zone hunts (over populated areas), bow, and gun seasons. It seems that all I hear from home is about hunting. Course, here in TX the deer don't get quite as well nourished and I know many a hunter who make a sport of it with providing feeders and such on private land, they set up cameras and what-not to monitor them through the year... hunt 'em and eat 'em up. It's almost as though they raise them corn fed as you would a cow or pig, just at a slight distance.

[Lilith]

Maddy that is how they hunt here too....

[wyndhy]

where i grew up the kids get the first day of deer season off from school.

[cherrypie7788]

I come from a deer hunting family, my fiance hunts, and yes, I hunt too. Nothing like the excitement you get when you see the deer in your sights on a frosty southern mornin' :D heehee

Nah, but seriously, even my mom hunted while she was pregnant. I remember she told me a story about being up in a tree stand once waiting for a deer and these [insert derogatory names here] came walking under her and she shot up in the air and scared the crap out of 'em because they scared all the deer away. Nothing pisses a hunter off worse.

Hunting is a big part of our culture here, and besides....Deer are really just oversized rats.

[Sharni]

....Deer are really just oversized rats.

Yep....just like kangaroos are REALLY big native rabbits

[Studmuffin69]

I am not a hunter but I do believe in my right to own guns. Oh and I am a Republican. :D

[kathy1]

Hunting is one sport I've just never gotten into (well, not the kind of huntin' you mean anyway)....besides, for a redneck, I aaaammmmm an awful shot.... and that's one reason why i'm a neo-redneck (no dog box in the truck....no gunrack in the truck...hell,no truck).....wouldn't mind trying my luck at bow hunting someday though.....one interesting note ....the daughter of one of the nurses i work with, went hunting for the very first time today and got an 8-pointer....i don't know who was more excited, her or her mom.....


For the venison eater's at pixies, how do you like to fix it up? Me, I love it fried up and simmered in a lil onion gravy.

[cherrypie7788]

Cook it like a roast with vegetables

[Bardog]

I got a six point buck last Fri.

But I used the front of my truck to shoot him with :(


About $450 in damages

Yikes! You ok?

[BIBI]

Years ago I got one... I fully comprehend the statement "Caught like a deer in headlights". It applied to both the deer and myself.

I got it and it got my '83 Thunderbird! They were both total write offs :) Luckily I wasn't!

[Oldfart]

We lost one of our early Pixies to a collision with a deer.

He seemed a nice bloke.

[cherrypie7788]

That really worries me where I live--lots of those vermin around. I drive a sedan so I'm sure it'd total the car.

I hate leaving out early (before daylight) and coming in late since that's the time of day you have the most chance of hitting one.

[JustSomeGuy]

A PROUD hunter and angler here. 'Course living in Alaska...well...I gotta be one! :)

I bowhunt, rifle hunt, and muzzleload...for deer, elk, moose, bear, mountain goat...you name it. If I can eat it, I'm more than happy to kill it myself!

Nothing like providing - hands on, one to one with nature - for my family.

One more thing - Bambi doesn't exist!!! ;)

[darogle]

I can't call myself much of a hunter by any stretch of the imagination...but I did shoot me 3 possums tonight. :) I know, I know.... you were asking about deer... but that was all I had to offer. LOL

[Oldfart]

Darogle,

Possum . . . .deer.

I can see the connection.

[darogle]

So it's not weird that I mounted their heads above the fireplace???

:p
