deer from my treestand

That is flat out bullshit right there. We just outlawed idiots not the guns.

well, you can gun hunt but not rifle hunt. Shotguns and muzzle loaders basically. You can use a pistol which is why my buddy bought a .45 colt last summer. Either way, if you read the hunting accidents here you'd understand why they don't allow rifle hunting. I've seen some ignorant shit done that was uncalled for. One year a guy was shooting across a highway at a deer and killed someone passing by in a car....just no sense in that.

I got a friend he hunts with a Thompson contender and that things got a bang to it, nice pistol.

I dunno 30-06 is just the commonly used rifle for deer here in PA. Lots of guys use the 30-30 too..

I have both....hell my lil ol Marlin 30-30 w/ 160 grain knock a deer on his ass....blew me up 4 hogs Saturday from 100 yards +/-....that new 30-30 Hornady stuff just blows a hogs head up....but yeah....06 out past 250 I agree...

I use a traditions muzzle loader a lot of times during gun season. Just depends on my mood and if I'm sitting or traveling. If I'm going to move a lot I'll carry the shotgun but if I plan on sitting I'll use the muzzle loader. It's a cheaper muzzle loader that my buddy bought me for x-mas one year but it's damn accurate once I figured out the powder situation. I wouldn't think twice about a 125-150 yard shot with that thing but the woods I hunt in 99% of my shots will be at 70 or less.

I guess.... I read some pretty idiotic shit that people do here. Senseless deaths. Last year or year before last a guy shot a deer just before it got light....only it wasn't a deer. It was a guy taking his 10 year old son bow hunting. Kid watched his dad die. No sense in that kinda shit. If it's dark then you don't shoot....just that simple. Your eyes play tricks on you in the woods so you damn well better be aware of what you're shooting at.

I guess that explains the Ohio 51st in the Civil War Part I...most died from gunshot wounds to the back.

Their relatives must still be around these parts. They do a lot of deer drives here too which I'd never even heard of until I moved up here. Most dangerous way of hunting there is. There will be 30 or more guys come through a ridgeline and start driving and it sounds like world war 3. Scares the hell out of me. You'll be sitting there and people will come walking by you on all sides. They had no idea I was there so if a deer ran between me and them they'd be shooting right at me and not even know it.
I also don't walk into and out of the woods unless it's full light or full dark during gun season. I will usually go in an hour before most people are even out of their beds and get set up and then I'll come out long after the last jackass has went home. That dawn and dusk time is dangerous to be moving around.

Not know you were there? Do'nt you guys in Ohio have to were orange when hunting?

Yeah but when I'm sitting against a tree or in a thicket that makes no difference.

I can't believe there's people that stupid

I dunno that orange is pretty brite, hard to miss. For some reason I'm picturing you poping up like a jack in the box when a deer goes by..

[Sarge]

Hell you can hear him vacuuming from 2 miles away.

what do you do? Put on orange and stand in the middle of an open field or parking lot??? If the people can see you so can the deer.

Everyone I know that goes hunting out this way says the same thing about the orange. Doesn't really stand out and like Orion says distinguishing things at dawn and dusk is tough

Touchy are'nt we?

















Deer are color blind........

but they're not stupid. No matter what color it is they know when it's not supposed to be there or if it's moving.

[Smittro]

I'll tell ya what I do! I let some other sum bitch get up @ the crack of dawn and run around in the woods. I only mess with deer after it comes off the grill...lol
