road hunting is something that is part of SK hunting....its needed to locate rutting bucks....all SK hunters do it...unless you are outfitted in the forest way up north.
Road hunting is not part of hunting in Saskatchewan. Is it legal yes? Is it ethical in my mind no? Everyone in Saskatchewan does NOTroad hunt so please do not speak for me in this post or anytime in the future. Road hunting is for the people who cannot actually pattern a deer so they drive around until they see a gagger, get out and shoot. You can kill rutting bucks without roadhunting just some people have not figured that out yet or else are not prepared to put in the work/smarts. In my mind by doing this people are not good hunters rather good drivers. In my area road hunting leads to nothing but trouble for people chasing down game, shooting off of or towards roads/houses/cattle and hunting on land without permission. I find it amazing the people who drive by my farm everyday of hunting season that have absouletly no business being there because all of the land is posted however they chocolate bar by in hopes of shooting quick/loading it up and screwing off. Can't stoppem cause its a public road of course. I cannot count on my hands and feet the amount of times road hunters have screwed over my hunts while i am walking, blind, or stand hunting. Sorry to be harsh but road hunting here really burns my pee hole and you will find that I am not the only one. The fact that in the video it is said "get in lets cut him off" should be enough reason why it is not an ethical form of hunting. And i'll bet my left one the hunter did not unload his firearm when getting back into the vehicle to cut off the buck. Nuff said.
I don't believe for one second you have never slob hunted...

To bad to hear about your misfortunes with slobbers....everyone has the right to use that 66 feet of road allowance...

I think its very unfair for you to ASSUME a gun was loaded in the truck.

I think you arejust mad because you tried to put an amazing kill on the internet and got a bad response. just becuase not everyone sees things the way you do doesnt mean they are wrong. no matter how much we try to encourage ethical hunting it will never be a one hundred percent garuntee that all the deer are taken ethically. the only thing we can do is try to prevent the people who are the worst and make it a little better. Also everyone has a different prespective on this issure as they do many issues with hunting. but one thing i believe we should all agree on is that when something is on the internet, you should be careful because everything that us hunters see and think is good or bad, so can the PETA and other anti-hunting groups. i dont mean to make anyone mad i just think we should all own up to our mistakes and instead of getting mad at people who make them, try to give them advice on how to change their ways and become a better more ethical hunter.
