Critter Tactical Commo

You don't have to be Ted Nugent to know that you don't attempt to take-down your Ten-Point Buck with a head-shot.  I am a city-slicker, and even I am insulted at the cheap caricature that those gizmo-peddlers put on the hunters of the fair land.

My father and I have been deer hunting for over twenty years, him obviously longer than I. he started me when I was 8 with a Stevens Savage 20 gauge.

I've never, ever seen a deer even attempted with a head shot.  Or perspective hunter walk around with a rucksack and half his gear hanging all over him.

Nor have I ever seen the so called "miles of trailing a deer shot through the heart" that you hear from a lot of folks.

But then my father and I mix business with pleasure. Much like Riddick...we keep what we kill. Keeps us from buying store bought water and hormone laced "beef" at the store.

Still, my little rant aside, funny clip ;)

Clearly, when Bubba mangled that SMLE, he ruined it.

Deer harvesters in city parks use headshots not to ruin the meat, which goes to homeless shelters. I've personally seen hundreds of deer taken with headshots. It is not for sporting purposes but for herd reduction.

Sticking 20-gauge shotgun shells in a stock bandolier on a *rifle*?

Hollywood strikes again.

Head shots...body shots...it's all bull. We got tons of deer here in NJ, I just hit im with my Buick.

Buick shots would result in bruised meat though, some of it yours!

Actually Seza it results in $2400 in damage to the side of the car. I didn't hit it...it ran into me. It got up with a bloody nose and trotted off. The second time I almost missed the thing but it broke my headlight and wrinkled the hood...$973 in damages. I'm thinking of mounting a M-2 to the roof.

Well, helk, Fishmugger.  At least I killed the one that jumped in front of my car on the I-70 west of Denver.  She also did about $2000  worth of damage, and I didn't get to keep any of the meat, either.

Fishmugger/Barb:  What you need to use is an International 71 passenger school bus.  In Magnolia, Tx we have two highways which are the deer leaping capitals of the world about 5am.  I took one out with a bumper shot, didn't even nick the paint.  The second flat ran into the side of the bus that was traveling 55mph - didn't even dent the sheet metal.  Luckily, both times were before I had loaded any students, but still had to spend about two hours doing an 'accident report'  "...describe what contributed to the accident: STUPID DEER", "What could have been done to prevent the accident? TEACH STUPID DEER TO LOOK BEFORE CROSSING".  School districts do not have a sense of humor!

Then there was the lady who wanted the deer crossing sign moved because that wasn't a safe place for deer to be crossing.
