Just had a good Chuckle. Someone on FB asked how they might hunt without a treestand on public land. I've not done it on public ground, but I have slain a few deer from close quarters before so I offered a few tips on hunting on the ground sans blind. Others offered helpful tips as well. Then this one guy ( I swear, it's a celestial rule that there is one in every internet discussion) says, "You could try hunting. No sport in ambushing." lol So, I'm going to show you snowflake mambie-pambies how it's done. No treestands or ground ambushes for me. I shall don a loin cloth ( can't wait for those pics,  ?) clamp a flint knife between my teeth, and settle for nothing less than than running my blade across the throat of the wary whitetail. ( I might settle for a rear naked choke if I can get it locked on). |

I just can't help thinking of "waiting for those easy ambushes" when one of those old does pops out of the brush.. you know the type, looks so big she should have antlers, nose about two feet long, looking all jittery even though your wind is good, ears swiveling. The most paranoid creature on earth. Yep, no sport in ambushing HER. What an idiot!

An OLD doe is one of the smartest, most observant, (and yes) most paranoid animals in the woods...that's for sure. |

The most paranoid creature on earth. Yep, no sport in ambushing HER. What an idiot! I couldn't agree more. Every time I go hunting even if I have a buck in front of me and I see the old hag hanging back I will try to harvest her first. About 10 years ago I had a doe, the CO aged her around 8 years old, walk right in front of me one shot took her down and almost with her dying breath she bleated as to say "don't ever come thru here again". And since that day I hunt that spot from time to time and have yet to see another deer pass thru there. |

We once had an unkillable matriarch doe we named “Horse Head”. That name is self explanatory,
She always was able to smell and/or pick us out in the stand. She then proceeded to circle the stand out of range and blow and blow and blow some more. If she wasn’t blowing she was stamping her foot.
She no doubt educated a lot of other deer..
BTW .. we vowed to kill her with archery equipment or not all. Not at all won out.

Sounds like something Uncle Ted would profess to have done.
