I'm a pretty big dude, so I just bladed at 45 after a massive adrenaline dump and jumped out of my treestand and broke his neck. Quick clean kill.

lol, I used a 14.5" m4gery in .223 and hornady 75 grain to take this 2008 WVA buck. Not my biggest, but I'm proud of him. Scored 122 and change. Ran about 40 yards and dropped, blood trailing massively through the mouth after about 15 yards, lungs came out in separate pieces. Also shot a doe, same deal on the recovery, gave it to a needy WVA family.

And here's my 08 Ohio Bow buck, for when a hunter has to be a true hunter. Snuck into his bedding area and shot him bedded down, quartering to me at 40 yards. perfect shot, went about 60 yards into a cut bean field and dropped. Scored 128 and change. Hardest shot I've ever taken with a bow, but I guess I dont practice my ass off just to take chip shots.

VA is not one of them I bought a 7.62x 39 upper just to hunt with an AR here in VA. I know WV and I think Texas but I was shocked to see a lot of western states.

Ummmm,, that is just wrong.

I personally would never do that, nor would I brag about it.

Even if the farmer wants them all gone, shooting a fawn is just wrong.

Guess that is why I call myself a Hunter/Sportsman.

....Huh?...........you have got to be kiddin' me.

being from Tennessee...you obviously have no idea of what an overpopulation of deer in Ohio entails.

do you derive you income from the land?

if not.....then I suggest you talk to farmers who do and see how they feel about losing 30 - 40% of their crops to varmints that are larger than a groundhog.

nice kill there tastyweasel....

Um, let me see I hunt on average 7-9 states(starting in Wisconsin, and going South to Ga. To include IA,IL,IN,KY,TN,MO,MS, AL,TX) a year.

Yes we have a farm, and we farm it for income.

I have no problem with taking deer to thin the herd. (If the State DNRs would quit raising the license fees, more people would hunt, and therefore lower herd numbers) Also if more landowners would open their lands to hunters like they did 20-25 years ago, this would also lower the herd numbers.

What I do have an issue with is shoorting fawns. Take a Mature doe, or several.

I also have issue with people who just shoot the deer and leave them lay.

How much meat did he get out of that fawn?

See as a Hunter/Sportsman, I was taught if you shoot it, you eat it!!!!!

And that is what is the difference between a Hunter/Sportsman and a killer.

doubletap777 Joined Feb 2007 Posts 415 EE 0% (0) MO, USA	Posted: 8/7/2009 11:46:59 AM EDT [#14] I couldn't shoot a fawn, but I can't judge those that do. It's a part of life, it has to be done sometimes. Telling someone they aren't a hunter/sportsman because they are eradicating an over population of an animal destroying what puts food on the table for some, is bullshit. Good shots, all of you.

You completely forgot the third option. You wound it. To say that a neck shot is a guaranteed kill or a clean miss is just flat out wrong.

Again, I agree with what you post.

Of course with all the "SUPER SNIPERS" here.

We all know that they only have 1 shot kills, and everything they shoot just falls flat right there.

Nice 4 x 4 at uncles ranch in Texas in 2006. Havent shot another nice buck since. I plan on doing a lot of hunting this next year to make up for lost time. Dear was right to left about 100 yards out. I hit him with a .300 Wby Magnum. Yes I know overkill but that gun sure is fun to shoot. Makes the insides JELLO. Through and through, entrance wound was the size of a silver dollar and exit was like a basketball.

Nice hit. Ummmmm, but... Is that even a legal buck? In MI the tines have to be atleast 3 inches long above the brow line. That one barely looks a year old, especially considering that it is just alittle bigger than your AR Carbine. You guys can hunt with lasers there in SC? Sweet.

Again though, congrats on the harvest.

The rule is at least 2 inches protruding OR you have to take it on an antlerless deer day OR you have to use an antlerless deer tag. If taken on a hunt club or WMA you MUST use the PROPER antlerless deer tag for that location. Private property you must use an orange antlerless deer tag issued to the hunter who takes the shot. Limit is usually 1 or 2 per day but on special hunts can be as high as 5.

We try to encourage the harvest of does on our property. It was unfortunate, but button heads and spikes are often indistinguishable at that range and at dusk. On private property (in game zone 6) there are no restrictions as to mag capacity to my knowledge.
