Re: type of deer hunter you are?
I'm an occasional deer hunter. If I have a good'un on camera I might go a time or two and target him, so I guess I'd be a trophy hnuter both archery and firearm. How ever if I need venison I will go kill a doe. That happens about every other year.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
Shoot as many as i have tags for as fast as possible to go back goose hunting with a firearm.. Albeit I do like hunting with a smoke pole, because of the snow and cold.
Right now our county is in a 12 county area for a QDM proposal.. I am against it, not because I do not believe it will work, or want to see better deer, but I do not believe they should tell us what we should shoot.. IF it passes I fill my antlerless tags with button bucks instead of does.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
If they're legal I shoot. Drive dogs. I might bow hunt a time or two this year???
Re: type of deer hunter you are?
Meat first, hopefully it's a doe but I'll shoot anything with my bow, spikes I'll let walk when gun hunting...... I'm out there during archery, muzzleloader, rifle, shotgun...everyday that goes by is one more day closer to turkey season....Come on March, please hurry.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
Run em with dogs. If I need meat I can shoot them in the yard. I love to hear the dogs run.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
mainly archery hunt, some handgun. Meat 1st......Sally & I live on wild game all year round. So we like to fill both freezers up with deer, hog, turkey & fish. Her being a cancer survivor, I sure dont trust what they have in the commercial grown meats now days.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
Try to get some does for meat with crossbow then look for a big buck with muzzleloader/rifle
Re: type of deer hunter you are?
I'm a reluctant deer hunter. If I'm deer hunting, I'd usually rather be hunting something else. Game that is higher on my list of druthers: coon, rabbit, squirrel, swan, goose, duck, dove, quail, grouse, turkey.

You should not be allowed to have a hunting licence, it's because of people like you that they have QDM.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
So the man follows the game laws and bag limits that the state/county set, and he shouldn't be allowed to have a hunting license? I don't get it.stone rd calls wrote:ICDEDTURKES wrote:Shoot as many as i have tags for as fast as possible to go back goose hunting with a firearm..

If it's legal, what's the problem? I will shoot a button buck and eat it if I want one. I don't get it either????
I am archery with a little ML. Mostly trophy with bucks, but fill my doe tags.

I just pick up a fresh morning roadkill, the little spotted ones are the best, you can cut them with a spoon.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
Button bucks always get run off their home turf by the does to keep interbreeding at a minimum.
We try not to shoot button bucks but if Does are legal and/or doe tags are available they are always brought into camp.
GobblerD's rules for not shooting a Button buck.
1) NEVER I MEAN NEVER shoot a lone doe over 50 yards away.
2) NEVER shoot a long legged DOE EVER!.
3) Only shoot Does in groups of three or more.( to compare size)
4) Never shoot a late season Doe to fill a tag. Unless it passes the above tests.
I kill plenty of does and haven't killed a nub since 1989.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
All the above. I put half dozen in the freezer most years - we eat a lot of venison. I don't shoot yearling bucks. I try not to shoot 2&1/2 y.o.s. I usually kill several does with crossbow and ML, and then hunt for a big one with a rifle. Consequently, some years I don't kill a buck, and that's o.k. with me.
Re: type of deer hunter you are?
Does with bow, shotgun and Muzzleloader, unless bullwinkle walks by. No small bucks get shot, I let 'em grow.

Re: type of deer hunter you are?
I have two spots. One is mainly apple orchards and I try to shoot my does there. The other place has the potential to grow nice bucks.........until the yeahoos come in and "if it's brown it's down" and shoot em all. I usually don't shoot anything under an 8 pointer, but mistakes have happened. I am good with only 1 to 1.5 deer in my freezer since it' just me and the wife and she is a vegatarian. I do harvest a few extra does for friends and family members who like vension.
Oh yea, only ML & Rifle.
