Man........it's been a while since I posted on this board !!!! [8D]
But I got to say this is hillarious to me ...... after "all" of those posts about other people having great land.........and how crappy your land always was  ..........that when you finally get a descent place to hunt youkill a couple of young bucksand then step back and call it "too easy" !!LMAO :D:D:D:D:D:D:DWow .....that one has made me smile for the day.....thanks Atlas !!  But I'll admit that more challenging, when you score, is always more fun.........but I'll takeeasyif it comes my way !! ;) |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
I'll have to share in the laughs with you CBM. Land that is too easy to hunt. Hmmm, I guess I'venever hunted or heard of such a place. If it is that easy to shoot deer on that land, you may need to step up your standards a notch or two and go after something on it that's a little harder to kill. Mature deer maybe?
 lol |

When you watch the shows on TV with 40 deer and 25 huge bucks in the same food plot and see whoever is in the heated shed take a bruiser.......do you see that as a difficult or "hard" hunt that would give extra satisfaction to the hunter??........or do you roll your eyes at how "easy" it was to drop a monster simply by taking your pick of the litter?? |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
Atlas- I think I know how you feel. There is something a bit more gratifying after accomplishing something which is perceived as difficult.
The bad news is that you've messed the whole place up. Calling a spot "easy" is like saying the words "no hitter" during the ball game. You just don't say it even if you are thinking it. Anyway, aftera couple of years of not taking even a skipper off that farm you will finally have a very gratifying experience which will break the curse. Sorry |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
Within the realm of bowhunting there are usually options in terms of the degree of challenge. If an individual wants to increase the challenge, that is his choice. It is also his choice if he chooses to hunt in a situation where the challenge may be less than what someone else may incur.
Bowhunting is a challenge enough within itself. Limited range, limited kill zone, dealing with a deer's defensive system, etc. If conditions happen to present an increased opportunity for success, I accept it as a blessing and I hunt. |

"When did I ever say the land I hunted was "crappy"?? "
Ahh come on now Atlas........you know what I mean ! ;) Do I really have to waste half a day searching archived posts ?? Good luck this season.......and maybe one day you will just find satisfaction in hunting period and not haveso much internal conflictwithin it !! Take it easy - Brent |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
No . A meat hunter like me would drool over the place you described , besides once you limit out you would have plenty of time to hunt other things or enjoy other pursuits . If it's too easy for you then find somewhere harder to hunt .

RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
I've only done this one season. Was the actual hunt that got my 12 year old daughter her first deer hard? No. We sat on the edge of a field in a WMA and hoped to see a deer. But it wasn't the actual hunt that got us this deer.
It was the months reading about guns and balistics to learn what gun to buy. It was the months of reading and asking questionsabout hunting and safety. It was the months of nights at the range practicing with our new rifles. This was all a lot of time and effort (we loved it by the way). So when the deer walked out at 125 yardsin a spot we had scouted for weeks prior and my daughter made a perfect, one shot broadside kill maybe that act was easy but there was tonsof effort put in prior to that shot |

Oh God............here come all the quote/respond posts !! [8D]
Alright..........I give.........you may not have ever used the word "crappy"..........I probably just read between the lines of all your whiny posts about having inferior deer, overhunted public land, hikers coming through your area, and all of the others(and we know there's been plenty)!! :D But you seem to overcome.......youenjoy it the hard way............you never back down.....you never admit your wrong even if someone proves it ..........you deserve the High life (in my best Charlton Heston voice) !! ;) |

RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
ORIGINAL: atlasman You're missing the point.........I have no problems taking deer from there.........I have no problems taking deer from anywhere............I'm just saying that it is easier to kill a deer there..........and therefore my memories of deer killed under much tougher circumstances will always stand out above just plucking one off that farm. |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
That is a problem that i love having. I hunt various spots, and all of them are different. A few of the stands, i will only see 1 or 2 deer out of in a day, if at all, but if i do see a buck, its probably going to be a shooter. Other stands that i have, i can see upwards to 20-25 deer in a day out of. Out of those deer, most will be does and a couple of bucks, but there might not be a big one in that area. I personally like the more populated areas rather than the few and far between spots cause i love the action, even if your not going to shoot a deer, its still exciting to see them interact. Another great thing is that during the rut, those areas become big buck magnets.

RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
ORIGINAL: kevin1 I didn't miss the point , you're saying that since it's pretty much a slam dunk then it's just too easy for you . Fine , hunt somewhere more challenging like a crowded public or a place you know has very few deer . In the meantime , could I get some directions to that farm ? :) |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
ORIGINAL: njbuck22 That is a problem that i love having. The only bad part about that place is that only my friend and I have permission to go there..............and the owner is VERY uptight about it. Most of the time I go hunting I have at least one brother with me and usually both of them. My days at that farm were limited last year because I would rather hunt other places with my brothers then hunt there alone. |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
When you are used to not even seeing deer for days at a time and then you go to a place that has numerous deer trotting and offering more shot opportunities then you have tags for on a daily basis............What would you call that?? It doesn't take a whole lot of thinking to realize one is easier then the other. |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
"When did I ever refer to the deer I hunt as "inferior"?? "
When you posted some pictures of some screwy racked deer that your family had killed off your hunting land a while back !! As far as having you confused..............have you ever done a search on yourself and seen how many people say the same thing about you ??? I would think it would be enlightening for most folks.........for you......I doubt it !! I guess I'll stop by next year and catch up on how bad you got it (even when it's good) and how awesome it is for everyone else !! Good luck to you !! [blockquote] [/blockquote] |

RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
Whining about the hunting being too easy, and too many deer!
Do you know how many people hunt all day or even all weekend, and not see a deer, or at least not within range. What's next... "I make too much money, and my job is too easy, blah blah blah." Of all the things to bitch about, having too easy of a hunt, has got to be one of the lamest.. |

"Some rustling to my left got my attention and it was a buck moving through the scrubby brush from my left to right at about 40 yards. I squat down and rest my 870 on my Summit rail and wait for him to get in the clear..........his path is leading right into a perfect open lane. He only has about 3 more steps to take and I decide like a moron that I am not comfortable enough. I move just a smidge and my Summit seat scrapes my back or stand or something and makes a noise [:o] Of course the buck freezes and is staring a hole right through me now. I have my crosshairs on the base of his neck and the stare down continues. A good minute and a half later he decides I am nothing and takes a couple more steps......BANG!! He dropped in his tracks like a ton of bricks and didn't even kick. Cool. I aim double lung always so mydeer usually run a few yards and then pile up.......not him. I call my bros and dad and tell them he is down and I can see him 40 yards right in front of me so no point in getting down. We all get back to hunting and I am not even really paying attention when 20 minutes later I look to my left again and see 2 does coming up the hillside and heading right for the path the buck took. I get down again and ready for a shot when it appears they went left instead of right so I don't care cause my dad will get them. I guess they were just hanging out because they did walk out on the same path as the buck but only one gave me a shot. I shot her as she smelled the downed buck [&:] She mule kicked and ran about 50 yards and fell over. Cool. I misjudged the doe and she had some ground shrinkage when I went and got her :eek: Just a little less meat I guess ;) I said if I got 3deer this year I would grind a whole one up because I always run out of burger first and way too many people ask me for jerky these days. I will introduce that doe to my new LEM grinder later tonight :D An hour later my brother shot a big doe. Great day.......3deer in the truck. Only bad part is I am sitting here typing instead of hunting. " -Atlasman Yep.......it appears you were passin' them up left and right;)!! That was last year wasn't it ?

RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
I'm starting to think that this thread should be renamed "Atlasman Comedy Hour". Sit back, grab a cold one because it's a long drawn out afair....but GAURANTEED to give you some chuckles. I know I appreciate a good laugh. Seriously, quit hunting that land! You would save yourself a lot of heart ache of thinking it's too easy.
Too bad you couldn't buy a personality with that extra cash....... Joking of course ;) |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
It's pretty arragant for you to say (I'm) the one looking foolish ! ;)
But I wouldn't expect anything less from you !![8D] Maybe a few details not 100% ,but the meat and potatoes are there.........it's pretty easy to see what kind of hunter you are.....doesn't matter the "exact" location ! [:-] |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
Easier is fine with me. I would rather see 3 or 4 bucks each day than the 3 or 4 each season that I do now. I would gladly trade hunting spots with you.
|
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
Atlas....if you are going to cut and paste my comments, cut and paste all of them!
The rest of what I said is... But with that type of environment, guys seem to change their game plan from brown it's down to hunting specific animals because they like a challenge. You like the challenge of hunting that otherland because every deer you shoot is tough and it means more. Try to shoot nothing than 3 1/2 or older doe or 4 1/2 and older bucks. See how easy you find that. |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
ORIGINAL: Xtec Shooter Why are you so unwilling to make the "fish in the barell" hunt harder for yourself and shoot something that is mature? If you are up for such a challenge like you want us all to believe when your hunting that other parcel of land, then why not step up your game on this property and target harder animals to shoot? The reason for this post and many of his other posts is to start a big argument so that he can try to impress us all with his supposed logic and his ability to do multiple quotes in a single post. OK, I'm impressed. In fact, I am so impressed that this is the last thread of his that I'm going to read, much less post to. If all the rest of the members do the same, he can sit here and argue with himself. That could actually be rather entertaining, come to think of it.:eek: |
