Sorry to you guys who don't enjoy it, but I've shot the majority of my deer with double shotguns, close up. Bird hunting is fun, but deer hunting is life. And I don't mean sitting in a tree all day. I mean sneaking around the woods HUNTING. Standing still in BLAZE ORANGE and watching the idiot flatlanders walk up within 20 yards without seeing you. AND of course, sneaking up on that deer in it's bed. And where I come from, no guarantees of anything even if you are a great hunter, unlike the magazines. Here, you used to be a hero just to get one, lucky or not. Real hunting. Besides guns,deer hunting is just about the only thing worth all the trouble to me (excluding family of course, and the lucky moose tag I pulled this year!) Just my take on things. My passions. Deer hunt or not, isn't the fall fun? From playing in the woods , to going into the college boy rut in the fall, it's what life is all about. Enjoy!
