At least he tries. If it was not for auto correct on my phone, beginning of a sentences would not be capped.

Your choice to look like a .................Oh wait........I can't call you names............the mod will hear about it.

I flunked grammer anyway so capping when it is supposed to be, is the least of my worries. Don't really care what other people thinks, never have.

Muley Hunter

If you really didn't care. You wouldn't be on forums.

So, no cigar for you.

EndeavorShooter

Yep to BS, not care or make friends. With my record, do you really think otherwise?

Muley Hunter

If that's the case. Please stop sending me flowers. It's embarrassing.

I was told there were no stalking laws in CO.

Maybe they meant just on elk.

This year we had deer hang around our building site spring, summer, and fall. In particular there have been a doe and her two fawns (now pretty mature). As mad as I got at them when they raised cain with my garden I could not pull the trigger on them this fall. I guess they became almost like part of the family, sometimes going out to the shop in the morning I would walk within 20 yards of them, Once I could almost touch one of the fawns.
So, you can call me a girly man too I guess. There just didn't seem to be any sport in shooting them. We are going without venison this year. To me its no biggie.

Strange response to the post you quoted.

Stalking laws? You need to explain?

LOVE IT!!!! Maybe that explains it!!!!

Here is my opinion

I have hunted many years also, I don't believe deer are smart, nor are they going to get smart, deer are creatures of habit, & these habits are controlled in part to weather, feeding areas, bedding areas, landscape change, & the rut. & last but not least Hunting pressure. All but the last can be an advantage to the hunter. remember, deer don't do much, they eat, sleep, and well you know the other///, Hunting pressure is your enemy, if you want to improve your odds try and hunt where others are not, even if it means across the road, I don't know if I would call it smart or not but deer become very alert when under pressure. if you hunt in areas where there is a high degree of pressure, the hunter has to get smart!! get out early, stay out late, Scents should become your friend. spend time in the woods, get to know their habits.
I do understand we all live in different parts of the country, I hunt some areas where I won't see another hunter (or very few) all season, Most of my hunting today has low to medium pressure area. I don't think deer are getting any smarter, I think sometimes people take the "Hunt" out of "hunting" JMOP Doc
