And the 'deer not going more than a mile' is a crock.
I know what it takes to make me happy and that's all that matters. Yep.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Scott,
One way to understand hunting seasons (at least here), is that there's the legitimate season for 3 months called archery season and the illegitimate seasons, called the gun seasons. The legitimate season involves a true love of the animal. It coincides with a TV show with the wife, a DNR ass sniff to forego any regulatory violations and a seasonal goatee.
The longest illegitimate season is three weeks in late december/january. That's about as long as anyone can be trusted with a firearm...and they cant even be shotguns then. Too funny

One thing that I have not seen mentioned here (maybe I missed it) is that some of the exotics have been saved from extinction by Texas ranching.
Like it or not, it has its benefits.
I have never been that fond of Texas-style hunting, but I am going to hunt Axis does on a 5,000+ acre ranch that is essentially "high fence", although that is a lot of territory for critters to cover.
It will be the first for me, so I will pass judgement afterward!
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

sbhooper, when you say "Texas-style hunting", what exactly do you mean? I'd wager money Texas style hunting includes every style of hunting that everyone does in any state, except chasing them with dogs.
Spot and stalk hunting in wild, open mountainous country for elk, muleys, whitetails, sheep, etc?
Spot and stalk for antelope in wide open, flat country?
Sitting in a stand of some sort in the middle of a 30,000 low fenced property?
High Fence?
Best of luck on your hunt. I've never shot an axis but it's on my bucket list.

I don't see tracking, still hunting or deer drives on the list. All of those are quite popular in the Northeast. Of course snow is a good thing to have for tracking.

I don't think I have EVER seen a deer in the daylight on the Northern Cheyenne or Crow Res...though I admittedly avoid the area if possible.
I try even harder to avoid the Blackfoot Res.

I try even harder to avoid the Blackfoot Res. Why would that be ? I saw whitetails every day on the Flathead rez when I was there. They were all over.

The problem here is everyone wants to shoot bucks and no does.
We have all kinds of deer out chewing up alfalfa fields and let pretty much anyone walk around and hunt but the locals won't help out and kill does. Some kind of macho thing.

That should be pretty easy to do because New Yorker's are runner up for most stupidest in the country.

What the hell good is a self made trophy ? If you have to make your own by intentionally protecting it, feeding it, making sure it gets to breed, etc. until it's just right for harvest it ain't worth a shyt and has NO TROPHY VALUE at all. Might as well just be shooting a prized, hand raised, holstein bull. Fuggin' people have completely bastardized hunting to the point you don't even recognize the difference between a wild animal who has survived the gauntlet of natures perils completely on it's own and some bogus hand made/raised/managed livestock trophy. Your "managed" trophies are akin to the "participation trophies" handed out to the losers in the special olympics. Damn buncha mad scientists out there fuggin' with nature just to produce the biggest antlers possible. Did God or mother nature decree that the biggest antlered bucks were the fittest to survive disease, famine, predation, freezing temperatures and automobiles ? What nonsense. Those huge antlered bucks are only the fittest in your antler crazed imaginations. And a buck, any buck passes on the same damn genes at 1.5 years of age as he does at 8.5. If you sick f*cks could figure a way to cross a whitetail with a prehistoric caribou I'm sure you'd do it and consider the resulting mutant the greatest trophy of all time. Sickening. +1
