I let all kinds of deer walk. there's no telling how many doe. To tell you the truth if I had a penny everytime I let a doe walk in the past five years, I'd prolly have a million dollars
This year two times this guy (family member, they always are the dumbest) just gave me a case of the redass. I let a doe walk, I get up to leave and here he comes, late as usual screwing up everyones hunt. And sees her and shoots her. Hell, if I would have known that I would have shot her. I like to let the does stick around to bring in the bucks. Not too many but a few will do it. Well, on another occasion I let a little 4pt walk, guess what, pecker head shoots him too. This guy shoots anything. he's killed 6 doe this year, what in the world is he doing? I'll tell ya, he's killing them and giving them away, fine, nice and neighborly of him, but now guess what. I've been back a few times and haven't seen a doe or a buck or anything. the place I hunt, I figure in about five years or so of the infestation of idiots we have every year, I bet the land is just going ot be ruined. I am thinking of leasing some land next year that way I can do things the way I want them done and won't have to worry about anyone else.
I've just seen so many wounded deer from these guys, so many deer thats been shot and died somewhere. And I know its them, cuz I've seen them do it. They shoot, don't see the deer fall and then they leave and the deer is lying dead just a few yards into the woods. And you can't tell them anything, they are know-it-alls. Its their land (inlaws.........no one said they were smart though LOL) so thats why I haven't called the GW on their sorry butts but if I lease some land this year and see them doing that then I will call him. Then if they tell me to stop hunting out their, I will still have a place to hunt LOL. They also have other "friends" that come out and set salt blocks everywhere WTF!!!, this is very bad in TN, and the land owner (wife's pa) will get the ticket while these idiots walk away. I told one to take his ass on out of here and haven't seen him since but this has just gotten out of hand.
