So I have 2 questions.....the first is if you were to jump out of a tree onto a deers back how would you go about the process of setting up the jump and how would you dispatch the deer? I want thoughts, ideas, warnings, I seriously have no idea how. The deer would be a doe during legal doe season
Mg second question is, is it even legal in Washington?
Thanks guys! I am not going to attempt it just wondering.

1st off make sure you have someone videoing this one. I want to watch it after...LOL
here is a link to a story about roping a deer you may want to read b4 jumping on one. I don't think you can do that here in WA...LOL
Good Luck in what ever you decide. Ed

That story is funny Ed. I want to see the video. Make sure to strap the go pro on tight. dp

You be sure to video tape that one. I don't care what the outcome is, or how short the video is, or about the production values. I will PAY to see that one.
I, personally, have worked on a plan for catching an adult gobbler by the leg and dispatching by hand. I have even gone so far as to talk with the regional supervisor of the South Dakota Game Fish & Parks law enforcement. Now, Mike has known me a while and knows I am prone to saying things for a reaction...but eventually he realized I was serious about it and he pulled out the official law books to read the details. For one thing, it is not expressly forbidden, nor does it use any weapons that are considered illegal. And as such, I was advised if I was dumb enough to try.... >:D
Now, we just need someone to go noodling for alligator snapping turtles and we have a Trilogy Video that will make enough money to cover most of our collective medical bills! Plus, we'll be so famous we'll never have to buy another drink in the bar again!

Ralph Conrad told me he di it once with a knife. don't know the details.

There was a kiwi guy who jumped out of a helicopter onto a striped marlin, you might find it on YouTube.
-
AAAaaaaaHaaaaaa! I knew I wasn't the only one that would get the urge to jump on the back of a large animal. I often thought Moose would be a good ride ;) Never thought of dispatching them in this fashion, however. Age has quelled most of those thoughts ,but the odd one sometimes creeps in. I think the deer would "jump the string" so to speak ,and leave you sitting on your arse(too fast and jittery). Do have a witness to the event , For good story telling ,and insurance purposes.

Go for it, just be sure your loved ones know where you are so they can find you a day later.
-
I'm pretty sure that's why Neanderthals/ cavemen had messed up looking faces..after a few sessions of that they invented primitive weapons...Aka spears...lol
-
I feel like Tom Brown said he did that in his book when he was a teenager. Just need a big enough knife to reach the vitals I would think
-
yes Tom Brown did say that. Since some of his other claims are questionable I've got my doubts about this one too.
-
My old man used to tell me a story of a guy that broke both his arms doing that. No kiddin. :o Good luck!
-
Well buddy get ready to have the $h!t kicked out of yah, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal lol
-
Funny story, Ed. I needed a good laugh on Mon. morning!! After reading that, not sure about the jumping on a deer's back thingy!! ???
-
IF I WAS TO TRY IT.....I would put a tree stand directly above a pile of corn. Once a deer came into the corn pile and bent down to eat, that's when I would drop down onto its' back. I would have a short spear that would be used to drive down into its back. Wouldn't try to hang on.... ??? :o :'(
JW, I actually went with a guy that used a golf club with the club removed. He would go along the creek bank poking the rod into holes until he felt a dull thump. He would then get down and reach into the hole and drag the snapping turtle out by its' tail...after he caught 3 good sized turtles he said it was my turn. Another thump and I was up for the grab. Told him I wouldn't do it, so he got down and felt around for a minute, then said it's okay go ahead. I had to then, so I reached into the black hole and felt its' back, sliding my hand down and located the tail. A quick grab and out came a snapping turtle. I suppose that would be "turtle noodling". Never have tried it again, but it was exciting.

My dad knows someone that tried to kill a deer by jumping off a tree stand onto one with a knife in his hand. I guess his plan was to cut its throat but somewhere between jumping on the deer and the deer getting away he nearly cut one of his fingers off.
With enough practice, I would rather chuck a spear at one from a tree than try to tackle one with a knife. I killed a deer from a tree with a rifle last season at less than 3 yards, close enough that I could have jumped and landed on it. The whole thing was part of why I am getting into traditional archery. One thing for sure is that a .30-30 at point blank range, quartering away and shot in such a way that the bullet went in behind the shoulder and exited at the lower jaw is a shot that didn't require any tracking. It's a little too easy to gun a deer down at such a close range, not even an uncommon occurrence for them to get that close. About half the deer i've taken have been within 20 yards.
I've also heard that you can find a well worn deer trail. Cover your scent as well as you can and dig a hole for yourself across the track. Lay down in the hole, cover yourself with brush, and wait with a large knife. When the deer steps over you, plunge the knife into it with the same orientation as the ribs, hopefully into enough vital organs that the deer goes down quickly.

:D :D :D :D :D ;)

That cowboy looks like he's wrestling a cow with a deer head.
-
That is one messed up looking animal the cowboy is wrestling. I've never seen a deercow.
-
Yep, good Ole photo shop, for the cow deer. If I had no weapons, and had a deer feeding below me, while I was in a tree, and had a good limb to jump from, I would try to ease off the limb, and bend my knees, and then extend them, in a kick, to break the deers back. Other than that, I don't know that I would care to be stomped by a deer. ;)

This guy is legit. He is bad to the bone. Go to his YouTube page and check out his other stuff.

Doesn't everyone know not to jump out of trees with a knife? Should have just tore into the throat with his teeth like every one else.
This is what I would do.

That and catching the eagle are his most impressive catches in my opinion. He's got his own show in Germany and was over here in the US with his American girlfriend for a little while. I think they're doing some kind of show.

I'd watch his show

Looks more fake than the photoshopped cow himo

Watch his other videos. He isn't fake.
-
I'm a little worried I couldnt be able to express well what i think and offend someone as english is not my primary language.
In my opinion that video is a fake (like many of the others of that guy).
It's a reconstruction probably made in a very small fence and/or with domestic animal.
All i can see is highly improbable and is screaming "TV Show".
I'm not stating it's impossible to chase a deer barehands. I say that guy didnt for real. Just my opinion anyway.
-
I'm with Glisglis on this one. Very entertaining. Not convinced however. I have my doubts that he can walk barefoot on the Deertrails and they will still come into see him. I'm also quite sure that he would've been shredded to pieces and have the snot kicked out of him by that deer had he tried to capture it barehanded.
-
There is a fellow I know from here who has made a living all over the country jumping out of helicopters on deer, elk, wolves, and antelope for the Federal Game and Fish. They use nets to capture the animal for replanting, and putting collars for tracking purposes. He has some very good stories, but is reluctant to tell about them. I can give you his name if you email me! Joe

I tie one end of the lasso rope to the branch I am on.
No blood. Technically it's not snareing.

When I worked corrections I had an inmate brag to me that he hunted with just an apple and a knife. He told me that he'd stab the apple to get the juices flowing and then hang it from the tree he was hanging out in. He claimed that when the deer would look up to start eating the apple is when he would ponce on the back and plunge the knife in the side of the deer. He was just a drunk so he might be showboating but you never know.
