What y'all think?

This is a real thing and not photoshopped. There was a character on a TV show years ago that did this. He was supposed to be a hunter that got tired of killing deer but still enjoyed the "hunt". He did exactly what you are describing and used one of these cameras to get the "feel" of hunting.

Know a guy that got tired of killing them and started hunting them with a high dollar paintball gun. He’d get a kick out using different colored paintballs to keep up with when he shot them. He eventually went back to killing them and then quit altogether

I’ve noticed it too

Some properties with real good habitat have less than ideal populations and buck quality is not good either. I attribute that more to high grading by neighbors than a habitat issue though.





it's why Colorado had to go draw only statewide. massive amount of hunters and not enough resources. this 3 month rifle season in alabama has to go no need to rifle hunt for 3 straight months.


Oh lord, I wouldn't want that. I would actually like to be able to go hunting every year after buying a license

My dad had a buddy like that years ago. That's actually not a bad idea.

Family , 4-6 guys ; brothers/ cousins/ sons ; 5-6 years back I overheard one of them say they needed like 2 more to get to 100 deer killed for the season. Don’t know if the new regs, old age or what has slowed them up . Think maybe one even died. We can’t go back to this .

Or bow hunt
[/quote]



why don't any of the states like illinois and kansas gun hunt the rut? bow hunting is not like rifle hunting. I had a mid 160 class 13 point at 90 a high 160 class 12 point at 75 and a mid 150 class 10 point at 60 yards in illinois this year. with a rifle I could have killed all 3 but I had a bow and they are still alive. with a rifle that's all you do is kill them. but when you kill one with a bow you beat him and the energy it took to kill him come from your muscles pulling that string back storing the energy in the limbs and transferring that energy into the arrow and into the animal. everything about a bow kill is all about you and what you did to make that happen. when you kill him with a gun that's all you did was kill. it is 100 percent easier to kill one with a gun and that is why the best states to hunt have very limited gun hunting.there is NO REASON to gun hunt 3 straight months. if u need that much time to kill a deer with a gun I reccomend you take up golf.
