7 years old! wow.
-
pretty stinkin awesome! :)
-
That's way to cool
Thanks Leroy
-
Did the deer have a collar and name tag? I'm a bit suspicious that a regular deer would let somebody walk right up to it with no cover in sight.
-
ya seems to me that deer was a little to,well lets just say it seemed a little timid
well ok it seemed awful damn tame to me
i could hear the kids footsteps in the leaves on the audio,cant tell me a truly wild deer didnt
or are the deer in Pa. naturaly deaf ad timid.
we have petting zoos here that have deer that seem alot more wild than that one did
-
That is BAD!. ;D
-
Given that this was basically an advertisement for a a hunting trip, he has an incentive to make the video memorable. Not sure if I believe it to be true, but cool nonetheless.
-
Doesn't matter to me if the deer was wild or not.
Fact that a 7 year old has the accuracy to confidently hunt with in atlatl is amazing...a true feat to me. I practice a lot with my bow and I still can't take a deer yet.
-
i wouldnt call what they did "hunting"
that was just glorified target practice
hell i am more than confident in my abilities with my bows
i use them for everything from small game to ground buzzards
what i hunt are truly "wild" animals and not so timid you can walk up to them with the leaves crackling like that and they dont even flinch
sorry but that aint hunting by no definition of the word
-
I was going to stay out of this...but I am with Tim on this ...the Doe was too used to people...to calm...too Placid...and the Shot was anything besides an accurate Kill Shot....it was a Gut Shot...whether a Child or an Adult....not a good shot...not in my book anyways
-
But yoou have to give it to him a little credit... he is only 7... and the meat is on the table.

I always felt the age restrictions on big game hunting were a good thing. Under a certain age, it's proven that people can't empathize. I really don't think little kids should be out there like some are.
But the video isn't loading for me :-\

no credit given by me,and the only reason the meats on the table is cause grandpa did the actual kill
he even said so in the video.
to me what they did isnt any differant than what i did on my granparents farm as a kid
grandpa would walk us thru the barn and point at which hog/cow/chickens he wanted killed for butchering
and he would let us young uns shoot them in the head with a .22 pistol
pretty much the same thing they did in the video,except they used and atlatl
and i guarantee them chickens were alot more wild than that deer was ;D

I've got to agree with Sailordad here. They could have saved a lot of time and effort by taking a spear down to the supermarket, skewering a big roast with it, and walking that up to the checkout counter. Granted, the other people in the store might be a little weirded out by the whole thing, especially if they went the whole nine yeards and did that with buckskin loincloths on. But it's the same thing.

I've only been a member on this site for a short time, but does Sailordad ever shut his mouth?

-
Long enough
-
gil in my opinion ya just need to shut the hell up
and i think youve been here to long already jmho ;)
and if ya dont like what i post dont read them
i do shut up but not when some ignorant arrogant ass like you tells me too
so ifn ya got a problem with me or my opinions just come on up and knock on my door and we can settle it like gentlemen of the past did
bows and arrows at 20 paces,or stone knives or hawks
or in this case would an atlatl be more the appropriate tool ;D
-
OK guys! I'm telling you both to shut up!!! ;D If you can't then keep it among yourselves. The rest of us don't want to hear it! >:(
-
Pat, no problems from me after this
im done with him.he no longer exists in my world ;)
and i still stick with my opinion on the subject topic ;D
-
Good on ya Tim...not sure where that came from though ???
