If you shoot a doe this weekend from the stand that Monster is visiting I am going to drive up there and slap ya!!!LOL

[Fightinaggies]

I know for a fact you can burn out a stand , especially when hunting feeders. In my experience I see fewer deer at the end of the year than the beginning. Shooting one deer doesn't have much of an effect, but everytime an animal or animal is shot the others become educated. When I am hunting a big deer thats all I am hunting, why take the chance?

This is very true. We had to hammer the doe out at our place last year, and by the time doe and spike season rolled around you could hardly find a doe at a feeder. But if you put corn on roads or in fields they willcome to that.

I just make sure there is not a deer following up behind a doe walking in. Early season isn't usually an issue. How often do you see rut activity (Bucks chasing) in Late Sept or Early Oct. Probably not very often. Also, just because you shoot an animal out of a stand doesn't limit activity there. How many people here have stand and blind set ups where you shoot multiple deer out of every year? There are probably quite a few of you.

Pigs on our lease won't go nocturnal until they get regulated. And they'll scare the deer out of the feeder pen every time.
My does get hall passes until I take my buck, but pigs get zero tolerance.

I can't believe your wasting the "National Beer of Texas" on a goat! I have contacted the Texas Rangers and they are headed your way to pick you up for desecrating historic property.

[OUTLAW]

I don't think it's stupid at all. If I shoot an animal I try and let the stand calm down for a while before hunting it again.

I try not to shot any animals until I shoot the one that I'm hunting. I don't want to take the chance of my trophy buck being just around the corner when I shoot a doe and have her go running off kicking and bleeding scaring him into the next county.

Feelings are same . Last week of bow season last year and decided to take my doe .... Shot droped and there was a buck in the brush and all I heard was " Click - Click - urp - urp - grunt " never would come out . Waited a hour and he was there the whole time . She must have been hot for sure . Learn and live . There's a little steam being let off here . Can't we just all get along .... Still LMAO though .....

It is a proven fact that Lone Star makes the best red beer......for those who didn't know.


Maybe I should put this in the "Openin Day Tips", thread.

I guess it depends on the circumstances, but here are a couple of examples from personal experience:

I shot a buck on an evening hunt, made a good hit, blood everywhere, I watched him run off about 60 yards and die, his legs barely quick moving when another buck walks in not 30 yards from where the dead buck is laying and stops at almost the same spot where I had shot the other buck and starts eating corn with fresh blood on it. I knock another arrow and let it fly but the arrow hit a limb and went over his back.

At a weekend hunt for does and spikes a few years back at BrandonA's place I shot a doe on an evening hunt, another doe the next morning, and a spike that same evening all from the same stand and feeder.

However, I would NOT shoot anything if there was a good buck in the area that I was after or if there were several deer around that would see the shot and give my location away. In the county that I now live and hunt in, we can only shoot does during bow season, so you better believe weather I have taken a good buck first or not a doe or two will go down during October if the opportunity presents itself! Besides, the more does you take out early, the less does the bucks have to chase during the rut and the better chances you have that a buck will come by your stand chasing one of the does that are left, LOL!
