I don't know what all she fired at that poor deer Yes, for many departments shooting an animal requires paperwork but it's not that much and anyone who lets an animal suffer over that is just wrong. I never let a citizen shoot a deer if I was there just for liability reasons. I don't know their skills.
- Peachtree City Hunting | Page 2 | GON ForumThese urban atlanta deer hunting threads make me chuckle. First the old timers complain about how it was 40 years ago and the hunting was ruined by all the development and sprawl. Then folks complain about habitat loss, poor deer... Then the deer aren't hunted any more, and develop a taste for Karen's azaleas...
- What are you chances of Killing a 150" deer in GA?You can't really look at an individual deer make any sort of guess as to what level of contribution each factor played in their antler size. In absolutely perfect habitat there will still be bucks with poor quality antlers, just far fewer of them. In good habitat a 4.5 year old cow horn spike is about as rare of a genetic outlier as a 170" buck.
- Recognizing Bad Genetics in Deer | Page 2 | GON ForumOne of the biggest arguments was “once a spike always a spike” that was proved wrong years ago. Got to shoot 2 small bucks to make up for a mature deer. “Bad” genetics in Georgia is funny. Cant kill big deer when you use “cull bucks” as an excuse to shoot the first 1.5 6 point that walks out.
- .25-06, tired of poor bullet performance - GON ForumOne of my hunting buddies shoots 117 grain handloads out of his .25-06. He killed lots of deer with 120 grain bullets but lost a couple due to poor blood trails. He understood that that will happen occasionally even with larger heavier bullets, but he still wanted an exit hole, just in case.
