Deer hunting update.
cowboy:
Sounds like I need to come huntin with ya Eddie - crawlin around in tha mud, searchin fer tha animals. Right up my alley ;D.
I'm with ya Bob - don't kill unless your gonna eat it, or it's a pest on the farm (so's ta speak). I saw a show one time on these guys in Africa (native people's) that used little bitty poision arras - they'd stick a big ole Kudu or something and trail it fer days (till it died) then take home the rewards. Wish I could track like that!
Ryano:
I saw a small doe tonight couldnt get a shot at her, and not sure I would have anyways she was pretty small. Another hunter(compounder) who hunts the same farm as me hit a big 8 pointer tonight and couldnt find it. :-\ I helped him look for several hours and it only bled for like 30 yards after he shot it and we lost the blood in the hemlock needles. :P He was going to go back in the morning to look some more, I dont think it was a very good hit, the deer will probally survive it I hope. :(
Ryano:
Turns out he did have a descent hit on that deer. He went back this morning and found it near the creek a couple hundred yards away. He hit it kinda high just barely caught the top of the lungs and had no exit hole, the arrow stayed in the deer the whole time. It didnt bleed hardley at all with the high enterance wound. I went over to the property where he shot him this afternoon to move my stand and decided to look to see where he found him.(the gut pile) To my suprize I walked up on a large (4 or 500 pound) black bear feeding on the fresh gut pile. Good thing he found that deer when he did or the bear would have eatin it all up! :o
cowboy:
Good deal!! Man I wish we had bears around here, can you hunt em where your at? That'd be a rush, specially if he ran toward you rather than away. Hmm, maybe I'm glad we don't have bears ;D.
Ryano:
Yes and no. Legally, yes I can hunt them here, but bear season is only three days long here,and the land owner were I've been seeing them won't let me shoot them. He thinks there his pets, they come eat out of his bird feeders all the time. Two years ago on the same piece of land I had one try to crawl up the tree with me.....lol. I had to tell him Get! :o
