I used to love deer hunting. Thats how I was introduced to the great outdoors: in a ground blind with my dad, a .270, and a 9 point hitting the dirt. However, in South Carolina, deer hunting isn't much of a challenge. The deer are so abundant here, and because of this overpopulation, the biggest of the biggest deer are about 140"/ 225 lbs. I know a guy who last season harvested 57 deer; around 2/3 bucks. The daily bag limit for my gamezone: Unlimited antlered deer, 2 antlerless deer per day. Aug.15 - Jan.1. I could make that if I really REALLY tried, but I have a little more patience... I've shot 4 deer over 6 years of hunting.

Waterfowling... now THATS a challenge. By the time the ducks get south, they're extremely decoy/call shy from all of the other times they've been shot at in the north. It just takes a lot more skill and more input time. And, I've never had a bigger rush than watching greenheads juke right into your spread!

Lets be mature here. I know that this is the "Youth Forums," but if your old enough to be on the internet unsupervised, then you're old enough to not act like you're in elementary school.

Thats youropinion. I don't know anyone that hunts elk with dogs, but they still work their arses off to fill their tag.

Waterfowl, deer, and turkey are the top of my list.

why would you think that. whatever kind of hunting you do its all the same.

illegal to hunt any big game with dogs here....

by the way i like to hunt deer and squirrel, am eating my squirrel tommorow

1)duck/goose
2)turkey

1. Deer w/a bow
2. Quail
3. Turkey

Hogs will probably be on that list as soon as I get out and hunt them

i love deer hunting and varmit hunting out west

It doesn't look like people look my coment about deer hunting very well...It's just an opinion and you can even ingore it if you want. I don't really care. But if you really want to prove me wrong you can send me a message saying what makes deer hunting so special. Or you can e-mail me at [email protected]

How 'bout this big guy; You tell us what else you hunt and why you love it. You know, like this thread was intended to do

hahahha good point rory. you know i know a kid who hates deer hunting. he happens to be my oldest brother. he also really sucks at shooting for some unknown reason (i think hes the mail mans son) and hes only killed 1 deer!!!! thats flippin unheard of in my family. so from my experiances ppl who hate deer hunting cant do it well

I like deer hunting but not nearly as much as I like other kinds of hunting. I swear the Game Commision gives the deer the book with the seasons in it. And the deer have cell phones and call each other when I walk into the woods...I'm unluck deer hunting...It's not the only hunting I'm unlucky at but the unluckest. I never got a turkey but I still like it better than deer hunting. Deer hunting is just way to popular and boring. I can see buck in doe season and doe in buck season. I just can't time it right or something. I'd rather have my hunting time be exciting...just some of the reason why deer hunting just isn't the best.
