RE: What is your biggest fault while deer hunting?
 

Thought provoking post. A man must dig deep into his memory bank and consider all the mistakes made while in the deer woods. Seasons past, hopefully enjoyed with close family or friends, dug up from beneath the surface and uncovered with the hesitation of someone exuming a body from the graveburied ages ago. Inspection time. Disection. Fine tooth comb. tim Tebow.

I have hunted the woods of middle Ga and North Florida my entire life. Gone out by myself more than a few times and once stayed 3 weeks in a tent during the month of October when it was so warm I literally prayed for a lung failure one late night. Panic.

My biggest struggle with that life-long pursuit of the elusive whitetail deer is probably more to do with danger. Probably take too many risks while chasing mossy horns about the woods. Cause for concern. Whether it is not drinking enough water or harrassing alligators, I would say risk taking is my main fault.

Salty tooth hanging in the branches at neck level? Probably spit tobacco juice on him and have an old fashioned stare down. Come accross an underhanded raccoon or armedillo with an appetite for caucasion blood? It is likely that I will throw dirt clods at him, or maybe sharp sticks.

But to me, danger is part of the experience. Do I flirt with danger? yes. To a fault? More than likely. But again, guys, when yoou GREW UP HUNTING THESE VERY WOODS THAT YOU STILL HUNT TODAY as a grown man, you have to demand respect. And I get it.

i dont think i do anything wrong, but thenagain i dont hunt deer yet! My brother on the other hand, calls his wife when we are out in the woods, sprays scented deoderant on in the morning, talks loud, walks loud, doesnt sit and wait, doesnt scout, wears very poor traction boots (sliped on top of his rifle 6 time this fall, ironically.) Basically he walks through the woods with a gun, he doesnt hunt.

Yup - tell my kids to keep calling to wake me up. One time I woke up and a small martin was standing in front of me with a hand on my knee looking up and wondering what I was. I opened my eyes - we lookd at each other and he hissed and took off.

LOL........apparently my biggest fault is not hunting in North Florida with the snakes, alligators andsmall bodied deer

TDWW........best post yet.........LMAO:D:D:D:D:D:D

you should try a bear hunt, or big cat. im sure they would love for you to throw dirt and sharp sticks at them. Dont forget the video camera, we would all like to see the outcome, oh and dont forget to tell someone where your hunting so we can go find the camera.

Learned this one this past year. Had2 guys I thought were good friends, called all season, seasons over no calls. I feel so used, cheap and dirty. They actually took friends with them, totaling 5 people and all 5 killed bucks off my properties. And then when turkey season rolls around they call and TELL me they are going to hunt there. WRONG! And they got mad about it. I have hunted these places for 7 years. Boy was I pissed! I even mounted their deer for them at a discount. Once they had their deer they forgot all about it. Big surprise coming for them this year. I got 2 new friends that really appreciate me taking them hunting and once the oldest can draw a bow look out, the youngest just started taking an interest this turkey season:D. 2 of the best partners I could ask for, they still think I know everything.
