"I can hunt my Kimber 22lr rifle thru out the season, and what I do with it is my own business - after all, I'm not building homes on small lots like most - the animals have an un-hurried life for all but a couple of days a year.
What do you do, other than use a deer rifle?"
I will agree in principle on one point here. An unstressed animal is a lot easier to kill than a stressed one. After the first hour or so of opening day in public hunting areas you've had many hunters tramping into the woods and untold shots fired.
The deer are now stressed and the andrelin is flowing. IMO; It takes a lot more to put a deer down in this condition. From what fish & game people have told me it takes several days to over a week for the deer to settle down after hunting season depending upon the pressure they've been exposed to.
