Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Old school Deer hunting vs. hunting over food plots

I dunno...he was downright funny one night....


And I mean funny in a "good" way......

Nope, but I wish to and I'm asking. Nicely.

Has JD #7 been approved as a treatment for BHDH syndrome?

Yes !

The good news is there are several million acres of state land here that anyone can hunt. The bad news is there aren't any food plots, feeders or shooting houses/tree stands on it and baiting ain't allowed. If you really wanted to come here I can put you on tons of state land and several thousand acres of private land too. I'd do it for someone I like and have many times. I just ain't too sure I like you.

We're not discussing me. I am blessed to be able to hunt as much as I want, where I want and how I want. But there are lots of folks who own or have access to only small properties (and this situation is getting worse as more an more folks buy their little ranchettes in the country) of say 40 acres. They want to hunt. You can't very well still hunt on property that size without chasing all the deer off the property, or endangering other folks. What are these folks supposed to do? Not hunt? Go out west? I know, just move...

Very nice Bluedreaux. Those kids look like fine young men. Here's one from a DICKHEAD cooperator.



I'm a proud DICKHEAD!! Any others out there? Part time or full time. Don't matter.

Boy you're full-o-schit. I've got a little 32 acre spot I used to still hunt a buck off of of every danged year I hunted there.

Nobody ever said deer farmin' practices don't work dickhead.

Must not have hunted there very many years.

I have one 1/4 acre turnip plot. Dickhead.

4 or 5 years I guess. My buddy hunted it for 40+ years and took bucks off it every season. You don't need a big piece of land if it's the right piece.

Pictures? It ain't [bleep] without pictures. Dickhead.

Well dickhead I don't have a digital camera or a scanner so I'm afraid I ain't gonna be putting up any pics. But hell, this is the internet anyway and I don't know you from Adam so how do I know those are really your pics or your deer ? It amazes me the dumbphucks who post pics of targets on here all the time and get taken as gospel.

Yet you have a computer and post BS on web boards. Throws into question every post you have for me. Interwebs (borrowed that from Northern Dave) Go figure.

Gosh it really concerns me that you question my posts dickhead.

Winding down. Whew.

You get to really hunt. Most hunters of wt deer don't. To many,the challenge is to get a good deer for the wall by any legal means and hunting is sitting in the same blind every time they go hunting and hoping to see a good deer. Why they wear camo is to look like a hunter. The bad part is that so many 'hunters' are great hunters because they are often 12 hrs old and have monster deer you and I will never see the likes of. It's not about developing hunting skills or the enjoyment of pitting your ability against a deer, but in picking a good book to read while waiting on a good set of horns to beat your friends with. Small acreage and city slickers also makes it mandatory to 'hunt' in a safer manner in many areas.

to the OP, a foodplot to me is a farmers 30 acre once-cut cornfield nestled in a little creek bottom and bordered by pine and thickets. keep the tecomate mix and atvs with plows and bags of deer cocaine with antler supplements. i'll take my woolrich coat, remington pump and a little six point sneaking past about 8am.

You are right, but Texas has a lot more deer now than when I was a kid and they weren't farmed. Now, worry how many will die from drought. Even with food plots, most good bucks are hard to kill as the become nocturnal and circle plots well downwind before coming in.
