I won't start bragging when I fetch deer from the supermarket and probably neither should you when you shoot them with a rifle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why wouldn't you want to brag about shooting a deer if thats what you're into (I'm not fwiw)? It takes a lot of time and effort along with good stalking/tracking skills to shoot a deer.

I shot a pheasant (dunno if you have these - big flying turkey-like things) once. It took me skill (good chance it was pure luck actually tbh) and patience to shoot this bird, and I made an awesome stew out of it - why can't I be proud of shooting it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I can see that I probably would be proud too. As I was proud catching a trout once while my friend who introduced me to fishing didn't catch any. There is something archaic in hunting after all. But who needs to kill 3 deers in a short time and brag about it? I dunno.

So its ok to kill a creature for eating the plants in your garden, but its not ok to kill an animal for causing traffic accidents which kill a significant number of human beings? Good logic.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's called a strawman bro. Where's this stuff about the garden coming from? I'm not killing rats either. Live and let live. I can't recall the last time a rat came into my house and threatened my quality of life.

Deer hunters,

How common is it for the deer to not be consumed after the hunt? I think that's what people are up in arms about, not distinguishing bewteen the two.

[/ QUOTE ]

I hunt with my dad (he's killed over 55 in his 10 years of hunting, my number is noticably smaller) and we eat everything we kill. We keep the racks off the bucks but we don't "trophy hunt".

If we have more meat then we, or our family and friends can use, then we give the meat to designated homeless shelters that will put the meat to good use.

So, most hunters would be just as shocked and outraged, if not more, at the idea of killing a deer and not using the carcass for food/clothing etc?

How about rats to deer? Why is it acceptable to kill a rat but not a deer?

[/ QUOTE ]

Contrary to popular belief it is not acceptable to kill a rat per se. Also, a rat is not more evil, mean and desease carrying than the average other animal.

Once the rat enters your house it becomes a pest because it destroys things /is a food competitor and it is ok to catch it. I guess if you are not good enough at catching it, it is also ok to kill it.

Obviously, I like rats. I had a pet rat once which was well domesticated. Cute fellers.

[/ QUOTE ]

CC - my points are mainly about hypocracies by an awful lot of animal rights/anti-hunting type people. If people were hunting animals like wolves, weasels and the like I can almost garuantee than a very big proportion of these protestors couldn't care less because wolves and weasels are not cute or nice animals.

Also whoever said deer are closer to humans than slugs are to deer needs a reality check. That was [censored] hilarious.

Re: Brag: I shot 3 deer in the last 2 weeks.
 

Ya rly. Apparently there's this whole raticide subculture I was unaware of.

Actually i'd say it's "worse" to kill a rat than a deer, considering the meat is not going to be used for a delectable rat stew and the body is not going to be used to make cute little rat fur moccasins. (most likely not)

Let's the rats hang out in the alleys and do their rat business, I say.

CC - I used to do a lot of carp fishing which involves catching the fish and just putting them back. So basically dragging them out of the water for a laugh. Oh, sometimes I'd put a whole load of them in a keepnut for 4-5 hours just so I could get a photo with all my fish for the day at the end of the session. On a scale of 1-10 how cruel do you think am I for this?

i don't understand why this is a brag, is shooting an animal the size of a deer while it's standing still grazing or drinking, completely oblivious to your presence, really that much of an accomplishment? i've never hunted myself, but i don't think you really have to be an expert marksman to kill a deer

i mean if you killed a deer in hand to hand combat, or even with a knife, i'd probably be pretty impressed, but i don't see how shooting a dumb animal that doesn't know you are lurking in the distance about to fire a rifle at it, is the slightest bit sporting or bragworthy

[/ QUOTE ]

Hell ya this is a brag, you have nothing to say until you have tried it yourself. Deer are alot smarter than you may realize.

Hi I'm here on behalf of the west coast liberal elite to saw that op is horrible for shooting a poor defenseless deer. Why don't you make some use of yourself and kill a bear?

[/ QUOTE ]

Bears don't need to be killed, some people hunt them, but it is the deer hunting that I like and their is a greater purpose in killing them. Also venison is great. And you can bait bear in MN, which takes away alot of the hunting part.

Thank you, and yes back straps are mighty tasty especially grilled the same day as the kill.

my friend is trying to arrange a hunting trip for january. apparently the guy who's property it is (backwoods Va.) was given a slaughter permit. I'm really looking forward to it, as it'll be my first time. Venison is very money

Getting a 9 pt is impressive, although deer hunting is not done for its difuculty or trophy hunting. its done more for family and friend bondig and a once a year get together. other game animals are for trophy hunting. if thousands of deer werent killed each year in Minnesota the number of traffic deaths would be much higher. With the mild winters they are too abundant and in the city i live in (pop. >90K) u can get an intown deer hunting license. this is not the politics forum

[/ QUOTE ]

i wasn't making a political statement about whether i feel it is moral or not to kill deer, i just think something done mainly "for family and friend bondig," isn't much to brag about; it sounds like it'd be comparable to making a brag post about hitting a double in softball game

[/ QUOTE ]

fair enough but shooting three bucks >>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>hi tting three doubles>>>>>>>>> one double. Its a lot more strenous and a lot more disciplined than most people who never go hunting know. "bonding" better. Its more of a social bonding event getting the family together and i dont think thats bad IMO. Ask someone up here if they know someone who has hit one with a car. It would be 100%. Ship me some venison OP.

Also, I have enough for a 2+2 MN venison roast. Our crew shot 8 total. 6 bucks and 2 does.

We have a small plastic tilting trailer that hooks up to the back of the fourwheeler. We bring it back and then we hang in in our morton building. Skin it and let it hang for a day. Then cut it up and put it in a cooler, then the cooler goes in the car to go home.

B.) Two special concurrent experimental deer bow seasons will be held in portions of the city of Fargo and adjacent areas, including privately owned land. A maximum of 45 antlerless deer bow permits (available from the Department) will be issued for hunting in the city of Fargo and adjacent areas. The bag limit shall be two antlerless white-tailed deer for each Fargo City Deer Management Permit. Specific details, including season dates and areas open to hunting, will be determined by the city of Fargo. Hunters who desire to hunt within the city limits of Fargo must receive a Deer Management Permit from the city of Fargo prior to being issued licenses from the Game and Fish Department. Hunters must submit applications to the Department’s Bismarck office along with a copy of their Fargo City Deer Management Permit and $20 for each license. Any unissued permits remaining after Nov. 1, 2007, can be purchased by FCDMP holders on a first come, first served basis.

There is also bow hunting permits given for inside the city limits of Duluth.

OP, what kinds of plans do you have for the meat--I mean, after you and your family is done chomping down the fresh stuff (you lucky bastards)? Do you have freezer room or have you got some preservation ideas in mind?

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course we have had alot of fresh venison lately. Actually what works real well for preservation is vacuum sealers. We got a nice one from Sam's Club. For wild game, they are the best thing out there. Then my parents have a 5x4x4 freezer in their basement and I always keep some in my freezer at my house. Packaged well, the meat stays fresh tasting for a long time.

Actually for hunters that don't need alot of venison, but still want to shoot alot. MN and WI( i think) have programs where you can drop off deer you shot at designated butchers and they cut them up and use them at foodshelves.

solid brag, OP.

CC, most hunters consume their meat and mount the bucs. Most of the deer is used.

What are you using, OP? Real men bow hunt.

[/ QUOTE ]

For rifle season, I shoot a .280 Remington A-bolt with a 3.5x10 Leupold scope.

I've always wanted to take up bow hunting, but have never found the time in the fall with all the duck, goose, and grouse hunting I do that time of year.
I've been considering getting a bow and possibly trying next year.
