13 days to Deermageddon

[Crossless2.0]

I do what I can to help the area deer. I find out where two of my colleagues plan to hunt and leak the details to the head buck, so the deer can congregate near those places. These guys couldn't hit a deer at ten paces with shotguns. Rifles at a distance? Forget it.

What?  I'm not sure what state you are from, but in Wyoming, hunters like a little suffering with their hunting. It makes the meat taste better. I definitely don't know anyone with a carpeted deer blind!

Michigan.

I hunt in a parking lot. That is - I have my blind in the center of 80 acres of open field. I have sat there for an entire week without seeing a deer. That' s from sun- up to sunset. I originally built the blind with a fold down bed - and would sleep out there too. And yes - there' s a chemical toilet too. Plus a sink for washing dishes. And a stove. All inside 8 foot x 8 foot walls. 25 feet above ground level.

Lots of books get read. Lots of radio gets listened to. ( headphones) a fair bit of TV gets watched was well...

If I had to sit outside that many hours, it'd probably kill me.

Michigan! Brrrrrr. Makes Wyoming seem warm.

If you were out here you wouldn't be waiting for days to see a deer. There are huge bucks that wander through town.

The shot I made 2 years ago made me proud. Offhand, drawing off the bench, and dropping an 8 point at 25 yards with a revolver - all in under 2 seconds.

He never got up.

My ears rang more than usual. A 480 Ruger in a small room is LOUD!!

Back in the '90s I was conducting a range officer training course and three mule deer walked through the range. It was at a BSA camp, where the Scouts shoot targets at 50 feet. Those deer were less than 30 feet away. I could have dropped one easily with my pistol (.357), but I called a "cease fire" and let them walk through the range.

Did the scouts help that poor old deer across the range?

No, these were all adults who would run the ranges for their units.

The guys from our office borrowed the range at Elmendorf AFB, and were merrily blazing away at the shotgun pop-ups in full auto (the zoomies were pissed) when a moose casually walked out onto the range.

There was a lull in gunfire - and our executive officer bellowed - "Don't even THINK about it!!!!!"


Heh...

Those were the days...

A "lull" in gunfire? That's not American!!!!

I turned a whole herd of deer into a fine red mist with 25mm HE, on a live fire range, once upon a time.  Expensive hunting party, national park. The deer were protected, lol.
(calm down animal lovers..I felt super bad about it - I had to bum smokes and cop drinks for three months )

We had to protect ourselves from a highly belligerent water buffalo with a LAAW once. Tenderized nicely.
