My dad used to get into a tree to hunt. Then he said he was getting too old to climb. Next he would sit on the ground to hunt...got too cold for him. Next he would climb up into his barn that overlooked a 300yd x 150yd open field deer come out to feed in. He had his propane heater, coffee, etc. Even that was too much for him. Now he sits in his basement in front of the sliding door that looks out onto the same field. He drinks his coffee, smokes his cigs, and eats snacks until the deer walk out into the field.

I think it' s a bit unsporting, but he' s not a trophy hunter. He hunts strickly for the meat. He shoots does almost exclusively and eats every bit of meat he gets.

I will say that his wife (who works nights and sleeps during the day) gets quite a wake-up since the sliding door is directly below the master bedroom!!! When that 7mm-08 goes off, she shoots 4 feet straight up in the air!!!!
