RE: Head shot on does
ORIGINAL: ipscshooter Frankly, if you can't consistently make a headshot at that range, then you're either incompetent or too lazy to practice your shooting skills, and you probably shouldn't be out there anyway... With a scope on 9X at 40 yards, you can pretty much pick out which strand of hair you want to hit... |
RE: Head shot on does
ORIGINAL: Otsdawa_Game_Hunter Last season we had a doe running around with a lower jaw missing and it took us 2 days to finally get her down. Some NYC "Vinny" from down state in the land next to ours was the culprit because a shot was heard on their side and a few minutes later she came running over to our side, ran under my buddy's stand with her jaw missing and blood going everywhere. This doe ran around for days in pain and for what? We took the deer and dumped it at the bottom of their road with a cardboard sign around it's neck. It read "Hey A$$*&#@ if we see this again around here there will be phone calls made to the NYSDEC" So hell no to head shots! A round into the engine room works every time. If you need a head shot to down a deer because either you are too lazy/incompetent to track if necessary then you probably shouldn't be out there anyway. Mack |
RE: Head shot on does
I'm pretty sure that when you double lung a deerit goes down:eek: Something about not having lungs, it would appear that anything breathing oxygen wouldn't run too far, maybe? You are an idiot. Secondly we didn't waste the deer, we brought it to the guy who blasted her damn jaw off in the first place playing sniper and put it at his truck because we had no doe tag. And he did take it. Learninghow to readis highly encouraged!!! As far as us taking two days to kill the doe....I would love to see you come to 800 acres in the Adirondack Mountainsand hunt down one deer in 2 days. The fact is that we gave a $hit enough to look for her and hunt her down which wouldnt have even been necessary if this neighbor wouldn't have been playing scout sniper. This idiot didn't even bother to go and look for her and it was his deer! So GFY!!!!

RE: Head shot on does
zrexpilot...The problem is too many guys on here didn't grow up hunting squirrels...I've killed a barn full of squirrels with head shots, killed many hogs that I shot in the head to butcher with a .22 pistol...We used to butcher 20 hogs a year, all were dispatched with a .22 to the brain...
A .22 inside of 50 yards into the brain of a deer will drop it in it's tracks...If you don't like the shot, don't take it... You can tell by many of the responses that some of these guys haven't killed many deer...I've killed about 15 with a .22 while squirrel hunting, never lost a one...NC has no stipulations on the books as to minimum cartridge size when hunting deer, guess we believe in less government intervention down here...:D |

RE: Head shot on does
i also meant to ask you about that incredible, almost impossible deer hunting adventure in the adirondacks.......you probably were driving a jeep w/ three tires, up hill in reverse too huh

RE: Head shot on does
Ask your mom... she was the camp morale that week!

RE: Head shot on does
hahaha i feel bad for you then
|
RE: Head shot on does
ok..ok enough is enough. Sky...I was just simply stating my opinion earlier this week. If you shoot Deer that way it's fine, I just choose not to do that. To each his own I guess. I think everyone, myself included needs to cease fire before we all get punted out of this site. White flag here on this end.

RE: Head shot on does
Everyone should take a chill pill! Everyone grew up in a little different enviroment, and we all do things a little different. I bet if we were FTF we would all treat each other with more respect. In fact, I'd bet we would have quite the good time together. We should all remember, to each his own, as long as it's legal.
 |
RE: Head shot on does
^^^ exactly. If it is legal, then it is not up to anyone else to decide which shots I am comfortable with. Let's all play nice now.

RE: Head shot on does
its legal to shoot them in the a$$ too, is that ok? |
RE: Head shot on does
ORIGINAL: vabyrd its legal to shoot them in the a$$ too, is that ok? |
RE: Head shot on does
Actually, If you shoot them right below the tail, it is one of the most lethal shots there is. there is no heavy meat or bone to hit. Bullet usually go the whole way through the front chest bone. Making a mess of everthing inside. I've never done it, but I know an old guy in the area we hunt that has gotten three that way in the eight years I have been hunting. they never go far. I wouldn't take that shot, because it seems like a lot of risk, but he swears by it. and it is legal, so I don't tell him to stop.

RE: Head shot on does
Yeah, I've heard it referred to as a "Texas Heart Shot," though, I don't know anyone in Texas who would actually do that. Who wants to clean a deer after doing that??? [:'(][:'(][:'(] Probably some Okie coined the phrase...:D
As far as the parsing of the prior post... the shot you describe would pretty much need to have the word "hole" added to the description. Shooting in the @$$, to me, refers to the fleshy areas surrounding that particular "target"... |
RE: Head shot on does
funny you sjhould say that. yes, square up the a$$ is a fine shot. broad side in the azz i wouldnt ever try nor would i want to. those are two totally different impacts. ive shot several deer running away from me right up the a hole. ive also caught them in the back of the head ruinnin away too.
vabyrd, you obviously dont get the concept of a bullet deflecting. you could be aiming at the shoulder and hit a branch and end up hitting them in the head. that was what i was getting at. and if you say that isnt likl;ey to happen i wouldnt ever talk to a "real" hunter about it if i were you |

haha. Lets not get started on shooting running deer. Some of us dont have nice food plots to sit over, and a lot of the deer we shoot are running

I can tell your not passionate about whitetails and deer hunting... idiot...I would never shoot a deer in the head no matter what class.... |

RE: Head shot on does
ORIGINAL: stabnslab_WI How many people try for head shots on does so they can get the most meat out of their animal? I think it is a clean and ethical shot. |
RE: Head shot on does
Good Lord, where do you start the response? I love the analogy about "the bullet could deflect because there is a branch in the way". Something tells me that's when you DONT shoot and wait for the right shot. And shooting running away? Are you kidding? Why do you even bother to get out of the truck? Thank goodness I don't have a clown like you in my hunting group. And no, I am not at your level. I refuse to lower my standards. So stay tuned in to all your little hunting shows and believe all the crap they tell you and go on with your stupid reasoning, while you're at it, learn a little grammar so people can understand your posts....
