RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
ORIGINAL: Xtec Shooter 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. That is the scenerio.........and it's pretty self explanatory. I am just being honest. |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
ORIGINAL: CBM SC "Didn't whine........never said there were too many deer.........too easy?? With a gun there IMO yes it is and I passed on it........is that a crime? " -Atlasman "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 ? Last time I remember a 870 didn't shoot arrows.........but maybe I am wrong !! :D  You might want to know what you are talking about first though ;) Obviously you aren't reading the thread because I told you my friend and I are the only ones with permission for the farm.........I can't take my brothers or anyone else for that matter........notice my brothers are with me in the above story. I also said that I didn't hunt the farm with a gun..........you even quoted me on that so I guess you are trying to say I am lying by showing this story?? You couldn't be more wrong. This was 2 hours east of where the farm is located. Do you think I only have one place to hunt??  The only thing you did get right is that it was last year ;) I killed another doe with my gun in yet another area in case you need more fridge material ;) How very interesting this will be to see how you respond to being proven wrong........since you were critical of me about that earlier. |
RE: Do you care how "easy" your hunting is?
Not interested. All the neighbors slaughter everything in the woods come gun season. I am not passing on bucks all year just to let someone else shoot them. The 6 point I saw was the first buck I saw there and I killed it............I saw nothing any bigger, older or better the rest of the year. No sense waiting on something that isn't there. They are there, always have been there and always will be there. |

"Oh........my bad Atlas ol'buddy !!! I guess this was the "hard" place ya'll were blasting up !! ;) |

I guess this was the "hard" place ya'll were blasting up !! ;) Yea...........it helps if you actually know what you are talking about before you call someone a liar........do a little homework next time and you won't look so foolish ;) Actually it was an area we had never hunted before............tough to say if that is the norm or not........I was tagged out in an hour and we had 3 in the truck but the rest of my family hunted the remainder of the day and we went back a few times but never saw another deer there. Maybe it was luck, maybe it was good timing, maybe the neighbors pushed them over, maybe the place sucks, maybe anything........I don't know and I don't care. It was a good morning for the freezer. |
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: |
