Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting All you pet deer hunters!!! Hunt a real mountain buck

exactly...before we put each other down for how they hunt this gal is laughing at all of us http://forum.gon.com/showthread.php?t=553773

Try this in Indiana and someone will be getting a ticket...

really intelligent thread here again... I hear banjos....

I've hunted a high fenced management ranche and I wouldn't call the deer pets by any means. They were not pen raised. The owner used what was there (4,500 acres) and started feeding protein. Then years of only killing the bottom tier deer has produced some fantastic genetics.

I enjoy hunting there, but I also offset that by hunting the occasional TPW draw hunts. Those are more hard core. Sit in the brush and really HUNT. No motorized vehicles. Sometimes times you come away empty handed, Sometimes you score.

I just enjoy hunting, period, and I don't fault how anyone else hunts.

john Boy, We used to do the same at our club where we ran dogs after deer and shot the deer with buckshot. Everybody was part of the hunt and everybody got some meat. We would gather back at the cleaning shed after the last chase and cut up the deer. (I have cut up quite a few deer with an axe.) We counted the number of people on the hunts and made that number of piles of meat. We tried to get at least one piece of hind quarter or back strap in each pile. One member would turn away and start calling out names. Another member would have put his hand on a pile. The person whose name was called would get that pile of meat. The person who shot the deer also got the head and hide if he wanted them. There might be 20 men hunting that day and there often was only one deer to divide. (Quite often no deer were killed all day.) The piles of meat were often small but were welcome additions to everybody's freezers. This was a while ago. There are so many deer around now that the person who kills the deer gets the deer but often shares it with anyone who would like some meat.

Want to hunt like a real mountain man after real mountain bucks?
1. Get a horse or hunt afoot.
2. Use a hawkin rifle and flint and black power only. Round ball and thin buckskin patch.
3. No binos, no scope, no rangefinder, no maps, no cameras, no cell phone, no GPS, no private property, no friends helping.
4. One old mild steel knife. No refridgerator. No vacuum sealing. No butcher shop. Then brain tan the hide!
Bet you don't do it this way do you?

anyone else notice he posted this and then doesn't say another word?

just a troll, nothing to see here

What is a mountain buck in Texas you all ain't got nothing but golpher mounds down there and most Texans I met found there wives at a family reunion.

I suppose you walked up that mountain, even tho there was an open, well traveled road? Sounds productive...

I am sure lots of guys on this forum would love to hunt a high-mountain WV buck, but most folks don't live in WV. Maybe you could set up a Campfire Mountain hunt and show folks some WV hospitality!

"there wives"? so where did you find "you're" wife?

You've not visited Big Bend or Guadalupe Mountains. Hardly gopher mounds.

You no doubt understand that the brief amount of footage that you've been exposed to could in fact be a season's worth of hunting edited down to 3 minutes.

While east coast deer might be harder to find and harvest, some of the stuff you see on TV is far from easy, especially if you're open-minded enough, and, see a bigger picture from, say, a 20,000 foot perspective and not the distance from your face to the TV.

You took the words right out of my mouth. He's obviously spent more time in the WV hills than in spelling class.

Well I know about mountain buck's, have hunted them in AR. where I grew up as a young man. They are more wiley, and it takes a good deal of physical effort to get to the those spots where my dear departed kin folks hunted to get food, not so much as a past time. That being said, some of the old timers in my family are not as in good of health as they use to be, and getting on in years, so just staying in the game is what its all about.
As for myself self, I work on the road 300 days a year, and can't scout the areas I have always hunted in the past. I don't have the time for a week in the hills, I am glad my dad plants food plots. Back in the day when the fish and game did all the managment I never saw a buck. Since the public is encouraged to help the fish and game, we have deer like ticks on a dog azz! All hunters need to support all hunters, if you don't want to shoot a bear, don't come down on someone who wants too! Enjoy your hunting in the mountains, hopfully I'll see you up there someday when I get to retire. Good luck, Otis!

He can't even try to insult someone without being illiterate.

I've hunted deer above timberline, he propably can't even spell 'timberline'.

Here is a flavor of just a few of our mountains. I baged my wife as she was driving by the car wash where I was washing my 68 Dodge Charger, I chased her down after a wounding look, we were married 3 months later. That was March of 1970 and were still together. One daughter four sons and 18 grand children.


SUMMIT ROUTES
WASHINGTON'S 100 HIGHEST PEAKS
Home About the Guide Praise for Summit Routes List of Peaks Guide Organization List of Slams Example Slam Buy the Guide Links About the Authors Contact Us Washington's 100 Highest Peaks
To determine the 100 highest mountains in Washington, an initial list was generated using available maps that contained the summits with 400 feet or more of clean prominence. Clean prominence is defined as the number of feet a peak rises above the lowest contour that entirely encircles the peak without including any others. The following adjustments were then made to this list:

Volcanic subpeaks were removed from the list so that each volcano (apart from Mount Rainier) has one summit on the list.
Little Tahoma was included in the list because of its impressive size and prominence even on a peak as large as Mount Rainier.
Seven Fingered Jack and Blackcap Mountain were included in the list because their clean prominence was within the margin of error (+39 feet) for the calculation.
This methodology produced a wonderfully varied and interesting list of peaks that includes all of the major summits of Washington. (For those of you pursuing the Bulger Top 100, see the minor differences between the lists here.)
We are currently working to get a nice picture of each peak up on the website, linked-to from the peak name. It will take us a while to complete this. If you have a picture that you'd like to contribute, please email Scott at scottsummitroutes.com.

I never said you were from WV.

However I don't see the need to insult Texans which you did from the get go with no provocation. Perhaps an insecurity issue on your end.

I know a fair amount about mountains since I spent a good portion of my youth in Colorado in a little town about 8300' high.

I'm also a bit familar with your state since my sister has lived there for 25 yrs.

I have no problem with WA so whats your problem?

Bill
