Never happens during hunting season......






I got within 6 yards before they bolted. They actually started to come back to me before my camera's memory ran out. Had to delete a crap load of pictures. Also got a movie clip of them, i'll post that later.

Yeah, seems like they are a different animal this time of year

RE: Mulies
 

I think that there must be a few deer that have learned how to read - and they let all the other's know when it's safe to wander around in plain sight of humans. First day of hunting season - fat chance of seeing them like that.

I've always said, one of these times walking in the woods I am going to come across their calendar which has all the hunting seasons marked on it. How they can wander up to you in the off season, and disappear during the hunting season is amazing. I had deer one year, the day before opening day, walking around the yard. Never saw them after that.

We all play our radio's and TV's to loud and ther here it and know when the season starts. Than mark it on there calendars. Thats how it works Dave

You guys just haven't properly thought this through. Let me ed-u-ma-kate you. ;)

Opening day is the day guys start to (attempt to) quietly creep around in the woods. Now, you can bet that every animal out there knows that any critterthat's trying to be quiet is likely to be dangerous, and will avoid it like the plague.

Gander was able to get those pictures becausehe was clomping along not worrying about noise, probably smelling like a McDonalds' cheeseburger, smoking a cigarette, whistling and farting. Those ladies knew they had nothing to fear from such a critter. That's why on opening day I sit out in the open on a shiny aluminum lawn chair and bring along my ancient transistor radio and a small ice chest. As I sit there smoking my pipe and listening to a ball game while sipping a beer, I usually get my first deer of the season (don't even think about wearing camo - it'll ruin your hunt). :D

That radio thing actually works a person told me. I knew a person that used to take a portable radio out in the woods, tune into the ball game or what ever, set that on a stump and then go off about 50 yards or so, and watch the area. He CLAIMS he always saw deer sneaking around the outskirts of the perimeter of that radio trying to see what was there. Of course they walked right by him in doing so.

Holy crap he's good!

Double 1/4 pounder, fries, dr pepper and a slim jim to be exact!

RE: Mulies
 

great picks man.

As crazy as it sounds, it does work. My dad's best friend killed deer every year by doing that. Only difference was he sat the radio right beside him. Deer are very curious creatures.
