Official deer hunting thread

I did for a couple of seasons in a row....Cull bucks I would shoot neck and does would be head shots. This left all the meat unharmed and made for a much easier clean. All these shots would be done within 50 yards or so at the most. Of corse it took them staright down which kind of took away from following a nice blood trail...Nothing like a nice blood trail to follow that leads to your kill.....

Fuck tracking deer if you don't have to. If it goes very far, you didn't kill it clean.

So being a 1st timer, do I aim at neck or at shoulder? I see you all talking about damaged meat. I've read that it's best to shoot at shoulder.

you are "supposed to" shoot right behind the shoulder (basically hoping to hit the heart)

I would not consider following a blood trail thru the woods for 40-50 yards tracking.......

Damn I feel like shit, but I'm here at the lease. Headed to the blind. Heart shot only for me.

I wouldn't either. I just like making 'em lay down where they're at.

34 degrees in town, 27 at camp and a flat 20 here at my blind. Note to self... Wear gloves.

Damn that's cold. Hope you have a heater haha

[Sleeper]

Atleast you guys have a blind. I'll be laying prone on a hill. Good luck everyone.

Nice and cozy with my Dearborn heater. Dang fingers were hurtin after my .7 mile walk. So far I have seen a small doe and a barely legal 8 point. Rut might still be on. Not too sure, but the buck sure was playful, running up and down the field, then he'd pause and take off again.

A smaller 6 running around sniffing too. I say we are still in active rut. They are not interested in corn. Which is even better now that I hear the oil field guys on the workover rig about a mile frommme

[2165 Turbo Rail]

ours went touching the corn either this weekend.

[Sleeper]

Got my bail blinds set up and corn pile out. Going to sleep early.

Good luck everyone. I hope to shoot my deer before all the job residents come and start blasting.

Whats a good price to charge for a deer lease on a 28 acre plot? Also about how many people would be able to be in there at once?

[2165 Turbo Rail]

1 hunter maybe 2 depending on how thick the woods are.
Where is the lot and how many deer are seen regularly?

28 acre isn't really much land for rifle hunting
