Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting PA doe (a little graphic)

Let's see here:

1. Kid had a desire to hunt..... Check
2. Kid had adequate equipment (not my choice of bullet but adequate) to harvest a deer..... Check
3. Kid had a license/tag to hunt legally..... Check
4. Kid had a mentor who took the time to take him..... Check
5. Kid was hunting on land he had permission on..... Check
6. It's was deer season..... Check
7. Kid saw a legal deer HE wanted as a first deer..... Check
8. Kid had permission to harvest that deer..... Check
9. It was a legal deer to harvest at that time and place..... Check
10. Kid made a good shot..... Check
11. Kids happy with his deer...... Check

Seems everything was on the up and up and the kid and his dad should be congratulated on the tasty vittles and teaching another generation to be ethical stewards of the resources.

Oops forgot one:
12. Douchebeer is a loud mouthed, egotistical, unapologetic, [bleep]..... Check

"The doe the little kid shot was on the very first day of the season. Even with the lack of deer as a whole in the State of Pennsylvania - there is no reason for someone to have to fill their tags 7:15 Am on the first day."


The biggest deer I ever took was on opening day, at 7:20 AM
One mile from the Village of Chardon Ohio
The game warden accused me of having the biggest doe in the county tied to a tree! LOL

I was home and skinning before 10 AM.


Please tell the young man, Congratulations from Ohio

Thanks everybody. The young man who shot this doe also bagged a nice 11pt yesterday. They suspect that the deer should go 130-135. I am trying to get some pics emailed to me, when I do I will post them up. From what I am being told, it is the biggest deer ever taken on their farm, and they have some nice ones hanging on walls.

I do believe that Karma is at play here. The off-base attack by Duck-Beer seems to have brought the young lad such great luck that he has now proudly attained the largest buck ever taken on the farm!

I wonder what fate Karma has in store for the Duck?

This is great news. Can't wait to see the pics.

Pics, yo, PICS!

It's impossible he shot a doe the 1st morning....you can't possibly kill a buck after doing that.....GREAT for the kid!!!

No schit! I thought everyone knew that once you killed a doe on the first day, the rest of the deer in the woods magically vanished for the rest of the season.

This made it all clear. He is one more USP weanie who is upset that Pennsylvania balanced their deer herd. That means he can no longer so 40 plus does a day that are unshootable in regular season and for the first time in years 95% or all bucks are no longer shot by their second winter (a year and a half).

These fellows are not worried about balancing the herds or the negative impact that overpopulation may have on other animals such as grouse or other game and non game species. They are like the three year old who only knows what he wants and is not concerned for others or the consequences of their actions.

His beef is not really the kid, it is the PGC and he is taking his frustration out on something he can reach.

Big +1!

This statement is pretty much spot on in regards to the mindsets of many Pennsylvania hunters.

You tell your boy good job from team chickenbuck in MN.

For my 2010 season I personally am still waiting for the "first deer" to cross my path or to simply lay eyes on.

If I do see that "first deer" for my season which is pretty much at it's end now.. I will shoot.

Spazzoni, thanks for posting & welcome to the campfire. We as a group, (the regular campfire sort) love seeing posts about young and or first time hunters of any age. We always commend and congratulate with great ambition.

douche is definately not "one of us"

Well said, Dave, and may the first deer you see this year be "da turty point buck"...

Congrats to the young man!...the other guy is just a turd

Congrats to the kid ! Get them interested. Shame on the grown- ups ! The PGC is out of control on doe tags. I think it is for us the older hunters to manage their (PGC) problem. Yep, I like to see deer, lot's of them. I have, and still will, let a buck walk into a kid for opportunity. It is so cool to year a kid tell and relive his account for days. What I am seeing is little pony face does hanging at camps by noon the first day shot by grown adults. It is up to us because numbers have declined significantly in areas. Better allocation of tags should be conidered. I feel better that I have vented my 2 cents.

I have no problems shooting does..I will let every buck walk unless its a shooter, but it has to be a definite shooter. The area I hunt in we can take 3 does a day everyday of the season. Our season runs from mid Nov thru Jan 9....so I usually get my does out of the way early, that way I don't feel that I maybe shooting a pregnant doe
