Just wondering how many would shoot a deer from their ATV, side x side, tractor or truck on your hunting land. I was driving out On the golf cart a couple weeks ago and slipped up on a nice 8 that was bedded down with a doe. I stopped and scoped the buck for a couple of minutes but had no interest in killing him that way. In one way I guess it’s not much different than a slow stalk thru the woods but it feels a little unfair to me, Not starting this thread to judge Just wondering.

As soon as I pull into our gate I’m looking for an easy kill. We’ve got a couple of long fields that We’ve been known to, on a cold wet day, to park at a field and watch from the truck.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

I've killed deer on my 4 wheeler with a bow-years ago when i was a good archer. just stand on the seat to see over the underbrush and they think they are hid.
I can't stand a thief.

Killed one from my mountain bike. Made my way up a a fairly steep grade about a quarter of a mile. Got to where I was going to leave my bike and looked over and there stood a nice six point staring at me. I swung my rifle around and fired and he went down like a rock! I got off and drug him over to the bike, laid it down and got him straddled the center bar of the bike, tied his front hooves to each handlebar and raised the whole thing upright . I cautiously began the trip back down the grade with my feet on the brakes. I noticed the small rack had a large nock taken out of it at the base; then......the deers head moved a bit. I suddenly realized the deer was NOT dead and was slowly waking up! Things were going ok, however, until....he got his dangling hind feet on the pedals... I’m trying to hold back and he is pedaling forward...almost ran over two other hunters with funny looks on their faces. We hit the parking lot pretty hard with him flipping over the handlebars and landing on all four feet and bounding off into the woods...and if you believe THAT story u need to hear the one about the turkey in my backseat....

A SXS is a shooting house on wheels. Is it ok if it's in P? How long in P until ok?

I have shot does that way but won't shoot a buck from the truck seat. I killed a 135" heavy heavy eight point several years ago with my ex brother in law. He was bedded with a hot doe in one of those odd spots. I had my wife with me the next mid day and was trying to show her where the buck was bedded. I pulled on past the spot and turned around. We were on a dim field trail/road. I stopped and pointed to where the buck was bedded. I glanced to my left and a huge 147" eleven point buck was bedded 20 yards to my left side with the same split ear doe. I never took my eyes off his eyes...asked my wife to hand me my 270...and a shell from the box. I quietly load one cartridge, opened the door, stepped clear and shot him in the bed. He bolted and ran 50 yards straight down into a steep draw. I had to drag him with the truck..he weighed 251 pounds. The buck the day before weighed 242 pounds. I named the split ear doe Ethyl and put her on the nevershootlist.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
