In some states It is legal for Disabled Hunters.

RIGHT! Shooting a deer from your house is simply not hunting... That is absurd... As I stated before, hunting is typically conducted in a forest or in a field but not your house. What is ethical about taking a monster buck from your home and then putting it on your wall? Your other points seem irrational in comparison to shooting a deer from your home. One point, oil and hunting are totally different and your point was you are actually hunting somewhere besides under the roof of your home. Bobcats are a threat to the deer population, so why not take it.

This guy, who calls himself a hunter was not disabled. So that is out of the question.

I like to put a little corn leading into the garage and bust 'em when they're standing under the skinning hoist. Makes things a lot simpler. I do not, however, recommend a firearm in this situation. :D

Ryan,
You'de shoot a buck out of the window of your house and be proud of the accomplishment?

RE: Buckmasters Article, titled "Window of Oppurtunity"
 

When I hunt deer I never use a tree stand or permanent blind. I go sit under a tree, stand in the shade of a tree trunk, nestle down among brush and wait for a deer to pass by. Now that there's huntin', boys, an anyone who don't do it thataway, they ain't huntin'!

Pretty preposterous, don't you think, to impose one's own manner of hunting on others? Sure, shooting a deer from your house window is not as . . . as what? difficult, physically arduous, pure? I don't know.

The only comment I would say is that it is pretty irrelevant. It was a parlour trick and unrelated to 90% of hunting (95%? 99%?). Sure, I suppose we might see a deer while pulling on our hunter orange at the pick-up truck, after loading our rifles, step 10 feet off the highway -- or whatever is legal -- and bingo, there is Mr Buck and we take him, but this is not the usual hunting. At the same time, what would you do, say "Happy trails, Mr Buck!, but it would be unsporting of me to shoot you when I have not had to suffer and work for you!" We would probably take him.

I dont even know what to think of this article. I mean it doesn't seem like real hunting. I just cant believe a magazine would publish it!

RE: Buckmasters Article, titled "Window of Oppurtunity"
 

That's the point, I'm with you. It's not hunting and lousy for a magazine. But it isn't unethical.

I have not read the article and am not a fan of Buckmaster, Realtree, or any of the other "canned" hunting shows. As for hunting ethics, I see shooting a deer at night by blinding him with a spot light as definitely unethical, however capitalizing on an opportunity to shoot a deer out the window of ones house; I don't see that this has anything to do with ethics. Several years ago, I was going to my parents to hunt and running late. When I pulled up to their house, there was a NICE buck about 150 yards from their driveway. So being the "purist" hunter that I am, I watch him as he browses his way out of the pasture. Well, that would have been the buck's dream; instead, I got my gun and laid across the hood of my truck and dropped the 125" 11 point in his tracks. The buck was actually closer to my deer stand in the edge of the pasture than it was to me. Would the kill have been more ethical had I made it to my stand within 25 yards of the buck? Ethical or not, he would still be just as dead. I have a friend whose wife killed a nice buck out of their living room window using the couch for a rest. In rural America, opportunities will present themselves and hunters must choose what is right for them. I do think that killing a deer out of ones house is a poor topic for a hunting magazine, but not unethical.
