Sounds more like shooting than hunting. Similar to Doves, which is a shoot more than a hunt.


anymore, i only shoot 3 deer (150lbs per deer and that equals to 65-70lbs of meat) to feed me. one buck tag and 2 doe tags. i don't shoot the little ones, just average to oh my God, thats a big deer!!!

"back in the day" wink my friend had farm depredation tags, so he and i shot many, many deer.

we hunt for doves, we would go 1 bird/15 shotgun shells to 1 bird/2-4 shotgun shells. my God, were those things quick!!! dove season opened to pheasant season and it was shooting balloons out of the sky. 1 bird/1 shotgun shell.
