RE: Bowhunting Fallacies.
 

Scott,
I recently was looking for a particular goretex hat for hunting out in Idaho where it always seems to be snowing ,sleeting or having freezing rain.They had the hat I was looking for (oregon research seattle sombrero)but the only color they had is where main part of the hat was blue.I wouldn't buy it because of the knowledge about deers vision you just mentioned.The sales woman thought I was nut's!:DI did order it in green and black.
Doofiest looking hat I have ever seen but it keeps your head dry and the elements from going down your back.

I sent an arrow over the lungs but under the spine, no mans land, the void. HOGGWASH!

You just mentioned one of my all time favorites Rob.

"All 4 hooves on a buck are the same size".

Front hooves are always larger on a buck.

You can tell the sex of a deer by it's droppings.:eek:

Brand X buck/doe pee is better than all the rest.

Brand X deer lure is better than all the rest.

BS.

I wish someone would prove me wrong on this.

Only if you taste them. Doe droppings are much sweeter. Try some.

Rob,
Dr Ken Nordberg thinks you can.Specifically not gender but body weight.By the length of the droppings.He actually carries a small tape measure with him all the time in the woods.
I find him a bit eccentric but he has written some very good deer hunting books and a bear hunting book and he has been quite successful in his hunting efforts.If you would like to read the pages he has devoted to droppings let me know,I will scan and email them to you.He has also written in regard to hoof length and width.
He is from Michigan so you have to take his information with a grain of salt.:D

Idk if you guys here it but Ive always been told never to hunt a full moon. Why? Its so bright I sometimes dont even need my spotli....ahem Flash light.

a deer needs to use 2 of its senses (sight, sound, smell) to detect you before it will run.........junk

always loved deer dont move in the rain, wind, or middle of the day.
