Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

Been hunting in the slug zone for thirty three years. We rarely, if ever, get out of our stands and if we do, it is for a super slow 1 man stalk and nudge with one exception. That is a 2 man gentle nudge cuz it is two sides of a creek. I would love to be able to hunt with rifles. I would agree with TJay, it is the hunter not the gun. Modern slug guns are just about as accurate as the average guys rifle too out to 150 yards. Our party shoots 2 MOA. I have seen a lot of targets at the range that were rifle hunters that didn't do that. Of course all the guys on this forum do better I am sure!😄. It has cost us a couple of gigantic Bucks over the years as we just can't shoot 200+ yards. Man, I watched a 4X4 a few years back that was ginormous. Dad had a 5x5 that had tines about 6 feet long at 225 yards. Well maybe not quite 6 feet but darn close!😁.

Someone start the movement to change the regs! I am all in!
