Then the spotlight comes on and....BANG!!!!

j/k, of course...I don't advocate poaching.

Nice little buck! When I lived in northern NY, I'd come home and find a herd (?) of them grazing out in the field behind my apartment. One evening I counted 12 of them out there, all within 100 yards! Really cool.

UC hurry and tie him up, he'll be in season in a month or two j/k

that is a nice buck, I'd leave him a few years if possible.

Aww that's pretty awesome, I haven't seen a wild deer in a couple of years.

I don't know how ppl can kill those beautiful animals just for sport .. ;( just makes me wanna cry.

Hey he's come for the Labor Day Cook-out!


socal, I think they eat the tough funny tasting meat and say it's good,,,, because they spent 600.00 on the trip and equipment.
It works out to about 150.00 per pound for a steak.

Actually there is so much game here, you see the negative effects of herds not being thinned out by hunting.. They all starve in times when food is scarce.

Gotta love wildlife, and seeing how fall's approaching it kinda makes me wanna get out and start scouting. Thanks UC

Damb, my nonitor is too dark, I can barely see a thing, took me a wee while to work out what it was

Venison is pretty good if you like tough/fibrous meat. Unless its a young animal. Pretty good BBQed.

i existed on venison for a whole winter back when getting mind altered was more important than food(you know,your twentys..)

i cant even stand the smell of it cooking now,and here in da UP of MICH white tails run rampant,some farmers getting permits to let people come on their land and eliminate a few to save the crops.(usually corn farmers)

whitetail rifle season begins nov 15. most school districts in da UP close school for that day,so the kids can go out.

i ve got the little darlings eating apples in the yard every nite now.

i bagged one deer when i was 15. (a mere 35 yrs ago) had to shoot it twice. that was enough hunting for me.

now,i ,like socal,just shoot em with a camera when possible.

but i gotta agree with surreal. if the herd didnt get thinned,especially when we get a real rough winter(250 inches of snow and up) , the whitetails have a rough go of it. some areas even pool resourses during especially bad winters and haul in bales of hay for them.

as for what its like during hunting season at"deer camp" do a search for a song titled" da second week of deer camp" by Da Yoopers. the song is strangly accurate

If cows were considered "cute", everyone would be saying the same thing
