I don't like Deer hunting.

[Texasjack]

Loved to hunt, wish I still could - but leases being what they are, it's just not worth it. Enjoyed the comradarie as much as anything else, and really enjoyed having the kids along - had some very special, memorable times over the years!

Exactly my situation.

Most people around here think snipe hunting requires a paper bag.

They do. We'll take you some time. I'll get you right where we always see the best ones, and even give you my own snipe bag

Some people do not get to experience deer hunting because they don't own property and the prices associated with a lease are beyond their budget; and yet here this guy is with free access to TWO separate places (one of them in Mountain Home, no less!), and he's complaining...


If deer hunting bores you, give feral hog hunting a try, using only catch dogs and a knife. MUCH more dynamic.

I've been deer hunting one time. When I was about 7. Wish I could go again. Or any kind of hunting for that matter.

And no I don't want to go snipe hunting.

Deer hunting in Texas is what you make of it. You can sit In a box 100 yards away watching a feeder or you can get out and rattle and spot and stalk. Nothing says you have to follow the sheep.

Are you referring to me? If so, where is my "other" place? And we do hunt hogs (but this thread is about deer hunting). I never complain, got nothing to complain about! To each his own.

Ahhh....I see. 'Scuze me for making that mistake. When I saw the "Mountain Home" reference, I just assumed (yeah, I know what it makes me!) you were talking about my post. Hog hunting at night in West Kerr County is great. Lights, red dots, lasers, suppressors, etc. .......... all the neat stuff. And there are a LOT more hogs than deer.

I love deer hunting. I don't do the game ranches. I like the old school hunts. Sitting under a big tree and waiting for the right one. I don't just shoot the first thing that walks in front of me. I like to find the "right" one. It's about patience and the peace and quiet of the outdoors. It gives me time to relax and clear my mind.

We have plenty of hogs that I can shoot left and right all year round. It's the deer that I get excited about. Beautiful, majestic creatures.

No baiting or feeding. Just the thrill of seeing one. I don't go out every hunt and expect to see something to shoot. In fact this past season I didn't see one worth my time to clean up so I chose not to shoot. But I still enjoyed sitting and watching.

I was sent on my first and only snipe hunt on a dirt road out near Bandera. Like I said, the first and only one....

BTW, Glockster, I was eight-years-old at the time, you smart ass....

It's boring. Clacking horns together? I'm out. Buying or building a stand, I'm out. Paying to hunt a half breed goat, Nope.

If i want horns on my wall, the flea markets full of them.

I want to hunt something that don't jump in front of cars, and eats the flowers out my yard.

 

[TrailDust]

Im a native Texan. Forth gen. I don't like deer hunting. It's boring.

Of course, it all depends on where you're going hunting, but the thing I hate the most when deer hunting are ticks. I hate ticks with a passion!!!

The bars up and down Washington Ave. are full of potential game, and you don't need a hunting permit to score a hit.

You have to watch out for ticks there too. or even worse...

Half breed goat? WTF....

I never hunted for the horns, they're tough as hell no matter how long you boil'em and taste terrible. And for clarification, they're antlers. Thats like calling a magazine a clip.

If I yelled, "look at the horns on that buck!". You'd still look.

And I call all my magazines, "Bullet Retaining Module Dispensing Device".


This isn't about hunting for meat or hunting for horns. I simply find the whole deer hunting thing BORING.

How sporting is it to clack horns together. At a raging horny animal. We all know he ain't using the right brain. Hes ass gets shot for it? Its funny when you think of it.
