Re: Deer Hunting Thread #2

[Jake from State Farm]

I 100% support deer hunting but I do wonder why do they have to turn the front yard into a deer butcher shop? Can we use a little discretion and maybe do it in the backyard?

Do you live in Harrison?

I support deer hunting and hunters...even the ones in Harrison.

I hang my kill in the front yard for two reasons:
1) Allows my neighbors to come slice off what they need for that nights dinner; and
2) Sends a pretty damn strong message to other deer to stop eating my flowers.

counted 9 deer in the road this morning near Harrison and Lake Lansing.

thought about shooting them, but I had an armload of beef jerky.

There were three deer in Shaw Park a few nights ago.

based on my consistent habit of pre-dawn hijinx (running), Abbot Road up near the fire station is overrun with deer, along with the Lake Lansing area. With all of the construction between Coleman and Lake Lansing Road (Hawks Nest, all of the apartments, etc) it seems to have pushed them all south.

it's a little cumbersome, but that's why I take my assault rifle with me on early AM jogs around the block.

There were more than nine deer, but Bob lost a finger in the 1987 Tour de Ingham County and can no longer count past nine.

that's the last time I've reached into my bike spokes to retrieve a rogue Power Bar wrapper.

I used to work in the building(s) next to Renos... Took lunch "walks" through those trails. That was nice as I recall... And more secluded then people would think. (its been a decade)

it is nice over in that area. Connects various neighborhoods, etc. Fairly high foot/bike traffic depending on time of the year/time of day.

Like Joe said, that area is swimming with deer, including at least one buck. I walk my dog over there often and they rarely even GAS if the dog starts acting like she wants to chase them. They just keep eating.

Watching one of the shooters right now wish it was Nov 15

I know it's a long wait, but buck up.

Might have to sit in the lawn chair by the garage tomorrow afternoon and hope I don't blow over

A few have made the driveway

Just remember to compensate for the wind when you aim.

I like that shed.

That shed is probably older than you and me put together and showing its age

I shot 7 deer this morning before church.

Good job Bob. Venison stew at your house later?

Gun hunting neighbors unhappy.  Their 120 acre hunting spot is about a half hour away but constant 20 mph winds at sunrise gave way to 20 mph winds with gusts to 40 mph making hunting impossible.

Any deer are hunkering down.

[kingstonlake]

Very high winds. Rain all day.

[aualum06]

Very high winds. Rain all day.

Damn crap day. Didn't see anything.

[Jake from State Farm]

That's what I'm blaming my miss on. I forgot to correct for the wind when I shot at that 8 point at about 200 yards.

I counted 18 deer this morning on my run.

I didn't shoot any of them.

On the trail or in the ‘hood? I haven’t seen any deer in the hood in almost two weeks.

it was up Harrison and on the Northern Tier Trail. As you know, they're practically domesticated up there.

But did you wrestle with them?

I did not. I like my cat a lot but, other than that, wildlife kind of freaks me out.

Thought about having stew for the week. This dude was freaked out when he found out his deer blind home was occupied. Saw 10 this morning that's 10 more than the rest of the week combined.

That’s not a deer, bro.

Carrot the deer found in Ontario with arrow sticking out of his head

I wonder how the deer got rid of the broadhead that was probably on the arrow?

Big 6 point, out of my phone camera range though

[AvgMSUJoe]

Ok, I live at the edge of a city. Backyard property line is with a township. Deer are like rats... everyday see 5-6... thinking of getting a crossbow shooting in the township. Once I kill it I wouldn't know what to do with it... cleaned fish when I was a kid.... talk me into or out of hunting this year.
