    SHARON MUZZLE LOADER

    I have to still hunt. I am not good enough to move silently etc. through the woods. I have "ambushed" my deer too, becasue everyone I shot came from behind me, and di not realize I was there. Though I sit in a natural cover from a large blow down etc, The deer obviously did not know I was there...

    That's a shame that there is added expense to hunting on private land. There is enough cost involved without that. IMHO

    Yes, unless you are still hunting on the ground (without a commercial blind), or still walking ie., very slow walking through the woods, there is no other forms of real traditional "hunting" IMHO. The rest is setting up an ambush. Using tree stands and feeders etc is not quite "kosher" in my...

    agree, but back in prehistoric times up through toady, peoples used traps, pits, driving herds over cliffs, nets, dogs etc etc. That was a matter of life n death survival in many instances. We have very few if any instance of that today. Certainly no need for any of those hunting techniques...

    I didn't know I was trying to prove anything. But just to clarify, If you shoot at anything that you can not identify 110% , you are an idiot. DO you disagree with that statement? You indicated that if a person was walking and someone was in a blind, that the person walking could come up on the...

    SO, that would seem to me to be a clear indication of the person in the blind being an idiot, failing to identify their target properly. That is a first class idiot to me? What am I missing? :dunno:

    In Pa. the normal season was two weeks. After the first two or three days the losers & wannabees left and then only the real hunters remained.

    SHARON MUZZLE LOADER

    Well, since I stopped hunting years ago I can't really say now. But, when I did hunt in Penna. I always sat with my back against a large tree or "blow down" and put Orange tape around the tree and my area, because on opening day, at dawn, it sounded like the Normandy Invasion! Every yahoo...

    So you are saying the woods are full of ignoring idiots with firearms? People that do not identify their target 100% and what is behind it, people who ignore the rules of safe firearm handling and hunting?

    Exit wound on deer.

    Wheel weights used to balance the wheels on the car. The weights used to be a mixture of lead. It was easy to come by in the old days and popular for making RB's

    Hanging deer with hide on.

    When any of us (hunting party) took a deer , of course it was gutted etc immediately, then we would start the drag back to the vehicles, usually a mile or two. We would have to cross a few decent streams. We would let the deer lay in the stream for a while, and the ice cold water did a great job...
