SHOOTING DEER

[NorthernWinos]

Jim went out this morning and froze his hinney off....saw 3 does and 2 young bucks.

This PM he went to a different deer stand and said he never saw so many deer frolicking....

He did watch a large deer with an awesome rack and then put away the camera and held onto his gun for awhile...

Thought I'd share a few shots of the deer.

No meat today....But Jim had fun....

Why don't you go out there and film for him NW. You can have one of your own TV shows filming and shooting deer! No shortage of them there for you.

Majestic animals they are, tasty too!

 

[NorthernWinos]

Shooting the 'Bull' with the 'boys'....

They ate all my soup and drank all our wine we brought....I had my share too....

Got to look at their nice bucks...

They always get the big deer across the road....

Great deer NW. You guys know how to grow them over there. The last one is a real trophy. Good luck to one and all.

Go on NW! Stand out in the cold and wind waiting for the opportunity to shoot some film. But don't move because you know what will happen then!

I like staying inside where it's warm and quiet.

I like sitting in my deer stand....which is infront of the computer and I have another infront of the TV.

The old deer in the bottom photo ran across the guys yard...he grabbed his gun with 3 bullets in it...put on his slippers...ran outside and grabbed a stray bullet off his dash of his truck...and ran after it....He shot twice, the 3rd one brought it down...he loaded his extra bullet ....and the harvest was over....

Moral of the story....stay inside and look out.

And there is no chance of catching a bullet!

Being as I get woken up at 5 AM by the 'Resident Deer Hunter' every morning, I figured I could run into town for supplies and be home about the time he rolls in....

When I got home I could hear the tractor in the woods and the hunting clothes and gun were home....So, I rode off looking for him....

Jim had gotten lucky this morning...He took this photo of his catch of the day at the scene...

I found him 'field dressing' his buck along a field....

Not a trophy, but a nice buck....

Maybe now he can shave and bathe...Guess it's a 'Guy Thing'...
He likes being 'At One With Nature' out in the woods....
But this deal about not shaving or bathing till they get a buck kind of sucks....
Some of the guys at the 'Deer Camp' across the road say they squat to pee till they get a buck....Guess not bathing or shaving isn't all that bad....

It looks like a trophy to me. Tell him good job!


I like the Deer next to the Deere sign- appropriate.


I moved one of my stands today. I hadn't sat in it all year as the deer weren't going near it all year. I brought it down to near an intersection of three runways that have been well used. A squatter came by on a three wheeler and said I was stupid for moving it during season. I asked him what business was it of his he wasn't even supposed to be there. I told him the land was posted and to leave.

You called the guy a 'squatter'...must mean he hadn't got a deer yet....

Or he must have been trespassing...

A friend saw a guy dragging a deer off our land on opener morning...He had to have shot it from the road....Illegal around here to shoot from the road...either that or he shot it while in our land....It was a doe....He had climbed through the fence dragging it. We don't Post our land because it is either fenced or plowed, Agricultural Land doesn't have to be Posted....But some people can't read the rule books...they probably couldn't read the signs either.

ROFLMAO!

It means he has a blind about 75 feet from where my stand is - and he ain't sposed ta be there! Then he had the brass ones to come over and chew me out for disturbing him!

First deer i ever killed I was about 12 and it was with a rock. I was actually squirrel hunting ( I could knock a squirrel out of a tree from 60 yds with a rock) It was a 7 point buck and I snuck on him eating acorns down in the bottoms. Momma told me if I was going to start deer hunting I was going to have to throw left handed as I had tore up too much of the meat throwng rght handedEdited by: Waldo

 

[NorthernWinos]

WOW!!!!!...Waldo....That's quite and accomplishment.....
Thanks for sharing....

I once killed a red squirrel with a .22 rifle without ever touching it! There was an old red squirrel so old he was gray in the face. He was sitting on a branch of an apple tree two hundred years away. I said to myself "Self" Let's make that squirrel dance so I popped one off towards the squirrel. It fell out of the tree dead! I was mortified! I hadn't meant to hit the squirrel, only make it dance. I went up to check it out and looked it over thoroughly. Not a mark on the dang squirrel! I must have scared it to death!

Waldo.
I bet that squirrel was glad that the Buck came along!!!!!
He escaped Fried Squirrel and Squirrel Brain Gravy that night.....LOL

Nice buck, good thing you can all your fruit or youd have to making a lot of wine in the next few days to make room.

 

[rgecaprock]

NW.......Have you ever canned the deer meat?

My grandmother did and it was so tender and had a nice broth to it in the jars and became a great gravy when you thickened it.

I was squirrel hunting with my exhusbandin Oklahomawhen we were first married. He saw a squirrel in the fork of a tree and shot it with a 22. It didn't fall so he had his cousin climb up the tree and get it. Here.....someone else had shot it earlier but must not have had a dumb cousin to climb up there and get it.


He wasn't so proud of his trophy and was a big Butt of the jokes for a while.

I love to remind him of that day!!!!!
