RE: You aren't getting it if...
it now seems pretty clear to me that the person who started this thread was mearly looking to start something (or we scared him away??) He hasn't rebutted any of our comments. It's nice to see that many of us are on the same page about this, rather foolish question/statement.

RE: You aren't getting it if...
No you all haven't scared me away. Just have been real busy this week. For those who care, Mardi Gras is a live and well. The was plenty of the hardest game to hunt running around (The Bearded Clam).
Some people did get the point while most just didn't. I wrote this in response to people who don't have resources to travel and maybe can't afford a hunting lease. I wrote in response for those who want to see big deer and get a shot. I wrote for those who are getting frustrated because they aren't seeing deer. I get very bored if I don't see a deer when I go out hunting. It happen once this past year if you don't count the six I scared off on the way into the woods. There are many ways to gain access to good deer. If you want to kill a P&Y you have to hunt where they are. I do travel all over the country and get to scout a lot of areas that I would hunt if I lived there. If your happy where your hunting then great. If your not then look for a new area. You would be surprised at where you can fine a good area. First, look for the deer you want to kill. Then figure out how you can get access to hunt it. It's possible when you put your mind to it. I personally like to hunt residential neighborhoods and do most of my scouting there. I have hunted public lands with some success but only do that during bow season. Even those hunts can't beat a nice neighborhood. |

RE: You aren't getting it if...
I have shot some 130's but don't waste time with the pics or racks. We won't even shoot them until late in the season because we see huge on a regular basis. If you have read some of my other post, I have only had really three with in bow range but didn't take the shot because it wasn't there. I've had more then I can count with in gun range but I don't hunt deer with a gun eventhough a few areas I hunt I could hunt with a gun.
I only mounted one deer and wouldn't do it again, then again I probably would. I shot a pie ball and got a full mount because it was a pretty deer. Dam it was an expensive shot. |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
FM,
You're missing the whole point--HAVE FUN AND THE REST IS JUST A BONUS!!Why do i feel like i just wasted my time typing this? |
RE: You aren't getting it if...

RE: You aren't getting it if...
If at all possible, those who don't see P&Y class bucks every time out should try to go on a western late muley hunt. The bucks are in the rut and if the weather co-operates they will be migrating. On a typical bowhunt outside of this late hunt. No, I don't see these kind of deer on a regular basis. But on this hunt I do. What a treat. I look foward to it the whole year. The weather is usually cold and the hills are silent. The silence is broken by bucks grunting all over the hillsides. I love to watch the bucks run the hills like a bunch of hound-dogs. Noses to the ground and totally clueless to anything other than their hormones. Last year I hunted in the fog and could hear them crunching rocks and grunting all around me. I passed up several bucks in the 20-25 inch range. I was after the big guy. A 30 in non-typical, which I had at 10yrds at one time. He kept his vitals hidden. He stayed for about 5 min. At 20 yrds and less. Tearing into trees and grunting. I never did get a shot but feel like I was more than successful. Oh beleive me. I get it, got it, and have it bad.........

RE: You aren't getting it if...
but don't waste time with the pics or racks. you don't see a P&Y 80% of the time then... you don't expect to see a HUGE (fill in your Size Goal)% of the time.... You aren't getting it! We won't even shoot them until late in the season because we see huge on a regular basis I have only had really three with in bow range but didn't take the shot because it wasn't there |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
Come on rack why would you want to waste a picture on a great animal you've been putting time into hunting since the season let out the previous year.
Your so silly. Aren't you getting it. If I shot a few 130's I'd know excactly how many a few is wouldn't you. |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
No, why waste time with the picture if that size is common where I hunt? The last one I shot in the end of December, I left the rack at a buddies house where I pulled the meat. He insisted on capping it. I was going to discard on the side of the road with the rest of the deer. What else do you do with a rack. I found they lie around forever. Thats all I need is more of them. I have fed them to my dog but he has all the bones he needs. I'm sure you all have some other uses but I don't need another rattling set.
Don't tell me I don't get it. You can't kill a huge deer unless you hunt where they hang out. By the looks of the big bucks in one of the last post, there are people out there hunting where big boys hang out. I can also say that the many states I have traveled in and scouted there are big deer in them. If you don't see them where your hunting, find where they are and get it. |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
FM
Your right about the deer (big bucks ) being in the suburbs some citys dont let you hunt these areas. Could you post a picture of yourself? I want to see what a deer hunting GOD looks like[&:] |

ORIGINAL: Fieldmouse No, why waste time with the picture if that size is common where I hunt? Don't tell me I don't get it. You can't kill a huge deer unless you hunt where they hang out. I think this guy could be an alias of messageman. |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
I was going to discard on the side of the road with the rest of the deer You are unique for sure. I have never talked to anybody before who was so obssessed with putting the time in to find big bucks, then could not remember how many they had killed. Or did not take pictures of them. Or get at least some of them mounted. Out of curiousity fieldmouse, just where do you find these 160" bucks on a regular basis? I promise not to invade your area.....just tell us a state even. |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
Don't tell me I don't get it. You can't kill a huge deer unless you hunt where they hang out. Its a little harder than just hunting where they are.........isn't it??? You got em running around you almost every hunt. And still can't shoot one big enough to waste a picture on. Big Country is 100% correct. when you put the time and effort into chasing big bucks as you say you do. When you become the trohy hunter that you say you are - It is all about the hunt, the animal and the bone. And the day one of my bones finds a home in a roadside ditch is the day I hang up the bow. and you still don't get it;) |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
You aren't getting it!
What I'm trying to point out is you have to see what you plan to kill if you want to kill it! Don't except the fact you if don't have conections or don't own property find the way on Look around and scout your county and/or state. I did this for the first few years in. I saw deer and the ocasional P&Y but it didn't satisfy me. I talked and connected. I can shoot a deer every time out. I don't get a chance to see a 160 class everytime but I expect to. I don't have a huge deer to my credit yet but I will. When I do you bet I will post it. I have pass on one shot because I wanted to recover that creature. I didn't take the shot on the others because it wasn't there. I have seen many many huge deer but out of bow range. They run in the areas I hunt and they are there regularly runing around 30% of the time. If the finacial responsibility didn't get in the way or the wife, I would have one hanging now. You have to hunt where the are and get it. You can believe this or think I'm full of BS. I don't you all and you don't know me. I don't have a dog in this race other than to let you know that such areas exsist in your areas. LOOK AROUND. When I travel in the states that I do I'm always looking for signs. Mostly around the resisdential areas. I have seen a lot. More then you would believe. I personally believe the next record in the states I have hunted and the ones I have scouted will come from resisdential areas. I will admit the area I hunt is so over run with deer it's not funny. Some of the other areas are as well. Any one hunt in Ohio? Worthington is a prime place. I haven't seen many deer in the country but, the residential area hold some biggins. If you think I might be telling the truth check it out. Robinhood36 understands but I don't want to put words in his mouth. You first find your deer and then fiqure out how to hunt them. I won't spell out how to gain access but that is part of the hunt in it's self. You would be surprise to know how many home owners are fed up with the deer. They are a nuisance and health hazard. |

Hate to burst your bubble guys but you must be doing something wrong! I've been married over 30 years and I'm still getting it:):D;)

RE: You aren't getting it if...
No, why waste time with the picture if that size is common where I hunt? BTW, I just want to know where the heck you live that you see P&Y class bucks on a regular basis. I'd think about moving there myself. I was going to discard on the side of the road with the rest of the deer. You can't kill a huge deer unless you hunt where they hang out.

BTW, I don't get it. I had a blast this archery season and didn't even shoot a buck! Go Figure! [:@][:@][:@] |

RE: You aren't getting it if...
I smell something and it isn't sauting garlic. You haven't shot a monster and don't bother to even take a picture of the 130 class deer you've shot? Come on.
Why shoot these 130's then why not let them get more mature? They were proably only 3.5 yrs old. Not even close to their full potential. You robbed yourself of a future monster. Just shoot does for meat. Every deer I take is special to me. Especially this year. My back was screwed up and only got to hunt a couple weeks of bow. Best part is I had to sit on the ground, that made it alot easier to go with my son. |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
You don't understand until you have been there. I will attempt to bring the camera next year. You know what will happen, I will get that big one with in bow range to only screw up my chance. Thats why I haven't done it before. As far as the 130 class I will take the time to get a picture of the few I have saved. One is for my rattling. Though I don't do this because there are too many deer. Who knows I may hunt in Texas next year. One I saved in cap for only because it's an non-typical 13 point. It has 6 brow tines on one side. It's not that big though. The 8 pointers were bigger and a little wider. I think it was drinking at the nuke plant. The other my freind insisted on capping it. I don't know when I will have the chance. I ask you, what good is the rack ontherthan a dust collector?
As far as the deer being only 3-4yrs why not let them grow? Do they have the genes to get that big? My buddies deer took first in big contest the year he shot it and his was only estimated to being 4 years old. Places to move to: NJ suburbs. Baltimore County Md. DC Suburbs Fairfax, Va Worthington, Ohio. I have been told Pittsburg suburbs are good. I have access to some property but never had time to hunt. Remember the point was to get you all to think were else you could hunt for the big deer. You would be suprised. |
RE: You aren't getting it if...
I was talking about taking pictures of the 130's you shot. Their the biggest thing you ever shot and you didn't bother to take a picture. Don't make sense to me.
Whatever floats your boat I guess. My buddies deer took first in big contest the year he shot it and his was only estimated to being 4 years old Remember the point was to get you all to think were else you could hunt for the big deer. You would be suprised Thanks for trying to help everyone out. [8D] |
