Saw several awfull displays of deer hunting this week, Saw one run down with a 4 wheeler and a pickup and shot after being run for who knows how long. Saw another poor buck being shot from a pickup....one standing on the running board shooting across the cab of a pickup and the other shooting from inside. Neither on got a good shot to any vitals, just sad how some people hunt. On a bright side I did have a young man actually call me for permission to hunt on my ground, I told him no as my boys hunt but thanked him for asking.
 
Years ago I thought they should have open season on the deer hunters,, no bag limit.But they seem to have cleaned up there act in the last several years. Now they want to rent land for hunting.Here in my area then the game warden does catch someone hunting illegally,they can levy some really big time fines.I heard of a couple of guy's got caught, lost their guns & fined I heard $7,000.
They might of got off easier if they had shot the game warden.
 
In Kansas we have walk in hunting. Get paid by the state. Works good for me, just got a four figure check today in the mail.

WOAH there!!! These people were not DEAR HUNTERS!!!!! They were POACHERS!!!!! There is a LOT of difference. What you saw was POACHING and that is ILLEGAL. Please do NOT group HUNTERS with these low life's.

poach 2 (pch)
v. poached, poach·ing, poach·es

v.intr.
1. To trespass on another's property in order to take fish or game.

2. To take fish or game in a forbidden area.

3. To become muddy or broken up from being trampled. Used of land.

4. To sink into soft earth when walking.

5.
a. To take or appropriate something unfairly or illegally.

b. Sports To play a ball out of turn or in another's territory, as in doubles tennis.
 
Neighbor called me and asked if he could drive deer through my timber. I hated to tell him no, but I do not consider that hunting. Told him he could sit in there and wait, but no driving.
 
Those are extreme cases and are illegal. I haven't seen any real hunters in many years. Now days they put up a feeder and position their blind or stand within rifle range, they may as well be shooting a calf out of a creep feeder. Most of the deer around here are more gentle as my wildest cow. It's no longer hunting it's just shooting. Personally I have no problem with that, the deer tear down fences and eat crops and gardens. I wouldn't care to see them become scarce, then I wouldn't have to deal with the citiots that think they are Danial Boone.
 
I agree with Pair a dice. That's not hunting an those are the people we either called slob hunters or poachers where I grew up. Same for the guys with the super duper whiz bang magnums and 25x scopes that take impossibly long shots across fields and won't go check to see if they cut a hair if they don't see the deer flop over right there.

Hunters and shooters are their own worst enemies. Some day when we have no guns and no hunting, the finger should be pointed directly at the idiots that commit the stupid acts we see around us.
 
Been deer hunting 35 years and proud of it. Never missed an opening day. Been hunting with same 2 buddies. And now our sons hunt with us. We have never driven deer. I don't consider that modern day hunting. We stand hunt and on very cold mornings that reach below 20 degrees we still hunt.

If I depended on the meat for my families existence than I would probably drive deer but never had anyone prove to me yet that there was any need for it.

Cant stand poachers and have turn a few in over the years. What I read above is pure poaching. Just turns my stomach.

There is good reason that you see "No Hunting" signs almost everywhere. It's not because all the rural folk have become bambi lovers. Property damage, trespassing, and littering are common complaints. And who wants people you don't know running around their property ? And if you let one in, his relatives and friends WILL show up. And if tell one of them no, they whine "you let bubba hunt! Why not me?"

Basically, you guys are a PIA.

Have a nice day.
 
I know one of our game wardens. This season he responded to a trespassing complaint. While talking to the land owner both the wardens and land owners trucks in plain view of the road. A couple of guys driving by, slammed on the brakes and they shot a deer on an adjacent property. Game warden says it was his easiest bust he's ever had for folks road hunting.

I have no problem with legal hunters to include those who drive. I learned about driving deer in 72 from an old farmer who'd been doing it for years.

That may be part of what Bryce was referring to, bashing ALL
hunters. Not ALL hunters care to be on YOUR land.
Its your land, your choice if you don't allow hunting.
I can't see any argument there.
But if I want to hunt on my land, I'm not being a PITA to you
and there's no reason to bash all deer hunters as a group.

I have been hunting for 52 years here in Pa and I never once witnessed an episode as described. That plain and simple should have been their last episode of hunting like that. There are bums everywhere, but not all hunters are that way. I would bet no took action either. The old I don't want to get involved attitude.
 
Ahem just so you know I AM rural folk,born and raised in the country,a veteran,a full time pipeline welder and a deer hunter.Sorry you have had problems but the owner of the timber I hunt appreciates the way fellow hunters and myself care for his land.you want to talk PIA,JUDGEMENTAL people,now there is the PIA.Good day
 
Every crowd has many idiots and its those idiots who give a bad rap to the rest in the crowd.

Unfortunately, HUNTING starts as a bad rap from the very beginning and t only takes 1 idiot in our crowd to make it bad for the rest of us.
I make sure that myself and or anyone else I am with is not one of those idiots.
