And if you are telling me there is no way to get closer, then how the hell do you get your game after you've shot it ?
Well they stop that running schit when you kill them where they stand. This seems basic hunting knowledge but maybe not everyone knows it? Obviously there is a way to get closer then. Seems pretty basic but obviously not everybody gets it. If you draw a sheep tag around Cody WY there are good places to try your sneaking skills. #Trackshoesrequired 😜😎 Naw, you just need a cloaking device & a couple of hours to get from A to B. MM

One thing the suckass crew needs to know, I’m not here for pm’s, follows, friends or hunts, might be a poster on this thread that can elaborate... grin

Seems pretty basic but obviously not everybody gets it. Well yeah, you shoot them dead and then get a lot closer. It ain't rocket surgery if you have decent equipment and a smidgen of skillz. There is a point where it becomes target shooting at live targets. I live on top of a mountain here. There is a field on the mountain across the valley from me. The near edge of that field is over 700 yards distant. There are deer out in that field nearly every evening. you could set up a bench on my front porch and shoot them from here. The thing is, I can go out and mow the lawn, cut firewood, or ride my ATV around the yard and they don't pay any attention. I would not consider shooting one of them "hunting" when they are so far away that they don't even perceive a threat. Nor would I be proud of the accomplishment

Does walking in 4 miles to hunt count as getting close? Or, is there a deduct for having to make a 616 yard shot? 😎

Why not just fly over the area and shoot them from a chopper ? You could remove all the hard work and hunting/stalking skill then. Fifty years from now If there were some sort of lazer gun that shot perfectly flat for miles and allowed sure kills in the next zip code, would you still consider it hunting or sporting to do so ? Would an animal shot from 2 miles away still be a trophy to be proud of ? Where do you draw the line or isn't there one ?

Try riding a ATV around 700yds from a 6 year old bull elk on public ground. The hunting world is much more than private ground 1 1/2 year old whitetails that don't get hunted much.

That's telling................. In many cases, they are aware of a threat & they know exactly where you are & that is exactly part of why you will not get closer, in addition to whatever the terrain limitations are. MM

Do your deer hunts in NY require stalking a few hundred yards? Or what's it like, jump shooting? Sneaking around "still" hunting? Elevated blinds? These aren't the guys lobbing bullets at 550 that have no idea what happens past 200.

I will say, per one of my best pards, Larry is a very nice suckass in person, but that’s why I like “me”, I’m who I am, I’m not gonna be someone else via www, or in person...
PS, any used “boots” for sale “??? Haha

Seems pretty basic but obviously not everybody gets it. If you draw a sheep tag around Cody WY there are good places to try your sneaking skills. Why not just fly over the area and shoot them from a chopper ? You could remove all the hard work and hunting skill then. Frowned upon by the WG&F. I rode 10 miles on horseback to that area. 5000 ft gain in elevation. 100% do it yourself hunt. Packed in a camp. Big time grizzly country that complicates things. No hard work was removed.

I have rarely hunted private ground in my whole life and have taken over 200 whitetails. With 1.4 million licensed hunters in this State back when I started hunting and 750,000 now, the hunting pressure is probably about as great as it gets anywhere. So great in fact that only 10-15% of our bucks ever made it past 1.5 years of age back then and today even with the big push for QDM and antler restrictions only 20% make it past 2.5 years. Despite that I have managed to take several 3.5 years and older. Oh, and everybody gets a buck tag here, we don't draw for them. Tell me some more about pressured game.
