take a look what i woke up to this morning






let me know what you think

 

Loeks like the :"Deer's eyes caught in the headlights look " to me

 

ever happen to you , as i never had a deer look at me from the front while driving.

i am happy where i live as i see deer everyday, this one caught my attention when it moved in the bush just off my living room.

 

Perfect quartering away shot too. I just can bring myself to take the deer in my own back yard.

 

Hey Mike forgot to mention that this morning when I ran to the store when I got back I scared it and it disappeared into the woods and then a doe and fawn showed up out of know where. I ran up to the house to get the camera to take pictures but Mike was already out on the porch, in his tighty-whities and shaking like a leaf lol out there with his camera already he scared me out there lol.

 

Exactly FTE Herman! My first thought... What a beautiful animal!.... then.... put the crosshairs just behind that right shoulder....

I agree about the backyard issue, that's not hunting.

 

Now Russ, lets not be hasty. We don't know how big the mans back yard is!

 

OK Steve, ya got me there.... but he IS standing on his porch taking the picture! BTW, didn't you harvest a buck this year?

 

I say backstrap should have been sauteed in butter less than 20 minutes after thinning the herd.Mouth is watering just thinking about it.Guns don't kill people ,people do,guns kill dinner

 

I thought maybe he had one of those fancy "downtown" lenses.

No, no buck this year. I didn't put in for a tag. Hunting partner moved away, and it just didn't seem it would be quite the same. I thougt I'd wait a year or two, save some dough and maybe go to Colorado for an Elk.

 

well to answer some of you guys question is that Mike was on the porch of our house when he took the pictures we have woods in our back yard so we have deer all the time but this morning they scared the living beegeebies out of us lol

 

Nice buck wish I could see something that big. WI DNR underestimated the wolf population and now there are no dear where we hunt.

 

[QUOTE=Kepler4]Exactly FTE Herman! My first thought... What a beautiful animal!.... then.... put the crosshairs just behind that right shoulder....

personally I would go for the #1 vertebra on anything under 200 yards as I would much rather loose a neck roast than a shoulder

 

I have deer coming through my yard all the time and I live in a residential area.

They usually forage for the apples on the ground in the backyard and it really sets the dogs off.

The one time is snowed here (week ago or so) hoofprints from 4 of them were around the yard.

One night last winter there were about 17 of them walking then trotting down the street about 1 am.

I'm only about 300 ft from the entrance to the woods.

 

More weed killer? More water? A landscape gardener?
