Deer,shotgun, what to expect?
OK, I finally got my first shotgun deer permit.
It' s for Starved Rock State Park in IL.
I' ve heard it can get a bit nuts out there, and I' ve heard of several stories on this board of people getting shot, including Crowpecker. Do you think it' s too dangerous to be in a stand on land that has rolling hills and canyons because of careless shots from over the next rise? Should I be hunting on the ground instead?
...and do the deer just keep running all day trying to get away from all the gunfire?
