I have the pics on my old phone, I'll have to figure out how to get 'em off there. Jackalope has one of 'em I sent him a couple of weeks ago before that phone croaked...
It really was, Ron. I snapped a pic of him as he lay there and sent it to my buddy (Swantucky's dancing partner). He asked if the deer was dead. I replied, "Not yet, hang on a minute"... bang.
Personally I do not think that baiting makes for a substantial kill upon deer. I would rather say that (nuisance deer permits) killing does in the early summer allowing the fawns to starve has a very large impact to the deer population. Something that I am totally against. I think perhaps something that no one has though of is today's working environment. Twenty years ago individuals worked in factories where coworkers mixed be it company soft ball games, bowling or other outings. In that situation it was easy to get permission to hunt upon a coworkers property. Now days that sociability has went to the way side. It was not uncommon twenty years ago to see deer drives where 30 people or more might be involved where as now most in my area are solo tree stand hunters which limits the amount of deer that would be on the move due to the human movement. As in the rain deer will often bed down tighter than a rabbit on a rainy day and with no human movement they will stay where they and only move very late in the day.
