Re: DEER HUNTERS! Lets see the pics, hear the stories!
The old Stillhunter got one wednesday, just a 2yr. old slickhead, but a trophy to me. I shot her w a muzzleloader while sitting on a folding stool, No scent,or bait, plenty of White Oak acorns though still falling here. She snuck up over a rise as I was studying some quiet noise in the leaves In a thicket maybe 40 yrds from me trying to tell if it was a deer or squirrel. When I heard HER and turned to look, she was 16 yrds from me! walking slowly. A neck shot dropped her w an hour of daylight, so I reloaded and sat till dark, waiting for another one! I prefer to hunt on the ground and feel more satisfaction taking them this way, more so when they come in close. Most of the Hunters I know hunt from portable or permanent stands to keep their scent away from the deers nose. I like to use the wind and terrain as well as sign and trails to set up in places I think can be succesfull. I seem to be getting better at it each year. I do occasionally hunt from stands esp. when bowhunting.
