Nah, i prefer to buy the deer meat already done and smoked etc. Id hunt but then that would take away time from my winter car projects. Plus too many rules and zones to follow when hunting, id like to shoot a deer where i see it and not have to worry bout if someone else has their eye on it.
With the sheer numbers of goofy people walking around the woods this time of year caryying guns, it is not safe to be outside unless you want to take a chance on being shot. Heres an example – my daughter and I volunteer on weekends at the Dane County Humane Society. We are called Canine Companions and our job is to take dogs awaiting adoption out for walks, for play time, and for exercise. We leave the building and walk the surrounding woods and fields, and it is absolutely necessary to wear red or orange and hope that some dummy doesn’t mistake a larger dog for a deer and start shooting at ya!

Cut the meat up, grind some up for kielbasa (polish pork sausage, we add about 30% deer to the pork), smoke the sausage,…….

Yeah there are a lot of idiots out there, and public hunting grounds are the worst
I hunt my meat at Albertson’s. That’s risky enough 😯
If I had to hunt for food, then yeah i suppose I would hunt. But hunting for sport is horrible. How would you like to be chased around your home with a gun?
Quote:I hunt my meat at Albertson’s. That’s risky enough 😯Its deadly, all those shevles, knives, and slicers 😯
Zippy as far as hunting I agree, but in Wisconsin here there is a massive overpopulation of deer. Recently it has gotten so bad that the deer were all becoming infected with chronic wasting disease and suffering. Hunting helps to thin the hurd a bit, which although seems cruel actually helps the rest of the deer population because there are no longer many natural predators here

Deer population is actually down from like 70,000 to 55,000 in Ohio this year.
Yup… hunter here.
Moose, Ducks/Geese, Upland Birds.
Haven’t gotten into deer hunting here tto much, theres a lottery for tags in this area, and lots of hunting pressure.

There’s no chasing involved, deer hunting requires a lot of time and patience. You first have to scout out where they are before the season starts and find a desirable spot. On opening day you go to your spot ans sit and wait, lot’s of patience involved… A deer in the woods will take off at the slightest hint of a human, even avoid an area where humans are if it smells you. If you wear cologne your chances of getting a deer are nil…. Most hunters even store there hunting clothes in plastic bags with pine boughs. Hunters will occasionally put a “drive” on, where a few hunters will sit within a area and other hunters will walk through the woods towards them to drive the deer towards their hunting partners, that’s about as far as any chasing goes.
Quote:Deer population is actually down from like 70,000 to 55,000 in Ohio this year.That’s odd because Ohio is right next to Pennsylvania, the estimated deer population here is 1.5 million +, last year hunters harvested over 400,000 deer. Nearly 500,000 the year before.

Your exactly right about the patience involved. This year I bow and gun hunted. I enjoy just being outside, with my luck its a bonus if I actually see something. We have built some nice stands in the last couple of years, makes it alot easier to sit for hours on end.

Yeah my numbers should have an extra zero on them. My mistake.

The new stands really do make all the difference, its worth it to be comfortable and be able to see everything, otherwise its just not as fun. You really have a good position now – being able to see through the pines, across the field, and into the woods

How would you like to be chased around your home with a gun?My house is smaller and i know the hiding places plus i shoot back so it would be kinda fun, almost like being in a james bond game tho it would suck having to clean up the blood and bullet holes in the drywall the next day icon_scratch.gif
