  1. Dumb question

    Exactly my experience as well...had a deer 8 foot from me, and until I moved he acted like I wasn't even there. But as Biker said...they can pick up the tiniest movement, and I swear they can hear a gnat fart at 300 yards...

  2. Son's First Deer, Shows Dad How It's Done

    Congrats to the young man...and good for you Dad! It was years before I could one up my dad...but I did it about 3 years ago. Opening morning...10-15 minutes after I got in my blind I dropped a small buck (hey...needed the meat). My one up was that I did it with a handgun...and I was giddy as...

  3. What do you do in the woods.

    ^^This.^^ Relax...clear my head...watch the squirrels play.

  4. Who's hitting the woods this Saturday?

    I'll be hitting the woods in Cullowhee, NC this weekend. NOT...I'll be working with my daughter's marching band. Perhaps next weekend...

    Deer shot placement for beginners

    At the distances I can see deer on my hunting land...I can usually wait it out for a TBS shot. When I am handgun hunting...I definitely wait for the TBS due to the lesser penetration of a handgun round. But good information nonetheless.

    Are these what I think they are?

    Satyr...

  8. Backup handgun for hogs

    10mm > 45ACP in this case. What you need for hogs is penetration through hide/bone. 45ACP is a great personnel stopper, but I'd rather have something that hits hard and gets deeper into the chest cavity. But for me...I carry a .357mag as a BUG when I hunt hogs. With nasty Buffalo Bore hot...

  9. Best Deer Caliber?

    .357 magnum...quite effective for brush hunting...:thumb:

  10. Am I the only one terrible at hunting?

    This ^^^ There are a number of reasons I confine my hunting to the ground...this is only one of them.

    A first for me!

    Nice!

  12. Am I the only one terrible at hunting?

    My favorite place to hunt is uphill from the stream on my dad's property. There's a well-worn path where the deer move through the area...so I camp out at the head of the trail coming up from the bottom. It works well because they water on my dad's property...then move up the hill to get to...

  13. Best Deer Caliber?

    Love that round. Almost went with it...but decided to stick to the 30-06 due to the wider availability of ammo. Of course, I order my hunting ammo from Midway since unless you want Remington Cor-Lokt you can't have it shopping my local stores. And yes...that is in Marietta. I know there is...

  14. Am I the only one terrible at hunting?

    Don't feel bad...and don't give up. I've missed a whole lot more deer than I have killed, and I hunted for close to 5 years without seeing anything I could shoot (non-doe days). Finally got one...and believe me, it will send you over the mountain when it happens. Hunting is about patience and...

  15. Best Deer Caliber?

    Seriously, can't go wrong with the .30-06. Most common caliber in the country, so you can find ammo just about anywhere. And the loadings for it are very diverse...

  16. Best Deer Caliber?

    Whatever you can shoot well enough to consistently put them on the ground...

    My boy got his first!

    Congrats to you and the young man for the harvest!

  18. Safety harness in tree stands, saved my son this morning

    No longer hunt in treestands...so no, I don't wear one. If I fall out of the chair in my blind...I think I will be OK. ;)

  19. deer rifle?

    Sounds like my weapon choices, almost to a tee. If I am in open land, .25-06. If I am in the woods, my trusty .30-06. If I am in the thicket on my dad's property, .357Mag with an 8-3/8" barrel.

  20. How do YOU handle a deer?

    Field dress and drive 5 miles down the road to the processing cooler. Although the last one I shot...by the time I dragged the 165-lb. carcass out of the woods with a bad knee, I was way too tired to dress the beast, so I just paid the cooler to do it for me.
