RE: Best post EVER.
Is .... enough draw weight to kill a deer?
Using a sharp, cut on contact broadhead, a shot limited to under 20 yards and perfectly broadside, yes.
I didn't see a deer in the woods today, should I give up hunting?
Move your stand to a more productive location.
Better yet, stop hanging your stands in places that show little to no activity pre-season.
Even better yet, try scouting before the season opens.
Does stalking work?
Yes.
I took a 40 yard shot and killed a deer, am I a bad person?
You obviously practiced religiously before season, knew your limits, and executed an excellent shot - more power to you!
I shot a doe, am I a bad person?
No. You killed a deer with a bow. Congratulations!
I killed a button buck with a bow, am I a bad person?
No. You killed a deer with a bow. Congratulations.
I thought what I was shooting was a buck, but it turned out to be a doe, am I a bad person?
Depends on who here at HuntingNet you're asking,I think.
Why should I bother using a safety harness, I've never fallen before.
Chances are you have a family and friends who would miss you if you were to be killed from a fall from your tree. You owe it to them to return home safely.
Do scent products work?
Yes.
Someone told me to use my wife's tampons as an attractant, amI a horrible person if I do this?
No. That's a little gross, but no.
