I couldn't find the old thread on this, so i'm starting a new one.
Who got to go this year, and did you get anything?

Me, I only saw one deer opening day. A HUGE doe.....and i got her! It was about a 50 yard shot. From the time i got a glimpse of her till i got the shot off was less then 10 seconds. She ran about 150 yards, and i lost sight. I KNEW i made a good shot (she kicked up her back legs on impact, almost always a sign of a good hit) and i was shocked that she ran off like that. I couldn't find any blood, and walked to the area where i last saw her. After about 5 agonizing minutes while repeating "I KNOW i made a good shot!" over and over, i found her. It was a shot right in the vitals, taking out both lungs.
I tagged her ear (and in doing so sliced into my right index finger) and field dressed her.
I had to drag it about 250 yards, and it took me a half hour to do so.
When i got to my car, there was another hunter there, and he offered to help me lift it into my trunk. But we couldn't do it! We had to wait for his son, and it took the 3 of us to get it done.
I hunted all day today (missing the Packer game) and didn't see anything.

You leave those poor deeries alone. They got little kids running around.

I watch "my" momma doe raising her 3 fawns for the last year... I'm committed, lol (through my back yard every morning) Save it, I'm no liberal, shot plenty of deer, just sayin' 🤣

No, she didn't....cause if she did, i'd have shot them too![grin1]
The DNR aged it for me, and they said she was 4 and a half years old. That's pretty old for a deer around here. They usually don't live that long.

good for you Alan. Hope she fills your freezer.

"My" mom would probably dress out at about 120. That's a lot of venison jerky, which is my favorite... But I see 'em every day, and have done so since the little guys/gals could walk. I can't imagine taking out mom, even though I think the 3 little ones might be ok at this point...

This gets an applause point, because I almost spit up my beer reading it. =d>

When deer hunting cuts into packers games you're doing it wrong

Congrats Alan.

Don't listen to Foster, he's a complete and total dumbass.

I told you quite a while ago I'M OUT of the killin' anything business, I can't even do these groundhogs... it is so way out of me, profoundly so, all others can do as they see fit...

I would tell you to leave the deeries alone as well, but I have absolutely no concerns as regards to your ability to actually kill one. Notwithstanding you personally being majorly-funded by the friggin' Navy to mindlessly pump that trigger on that Ma Duece outside your air-dale tourist UH-1, I suspect in your geezer-hood that you couldn't hit a friggin' lake if you fell out of the side of a jon boat.

Alan can kill all the deer he can kill, legally, as far as I'm concerned, so don't infuse your commie gay confusing shit in here, squid.

I'm happy for him, and congratulate him, I know that good feeling.

Edit- Not that there is anything wrong with that, ( the whole Vikes spraying all in sight thing) lol (Love ya Nick, you know I do, though I'm thinkin' about re-naming your ass Vladamir, lol)





🤣

Vladamir's ass! perfect! but since he is vr maybe Vladamir's rump would be more technically correct.
