Poor man's deer feeder

[3legged_lab]

How many tags y'all get? 6 here.

Archery- there are a few draw areas but the majority is general archery - 1 buck
Rifle - draw areas with limited general areas - 1 buck
Very limited opportunities to kill a doe, mostly reserved for youth hunters
Very few cases a guy could kill more than 1 deer per year

That sucks. But I guess y'all make up for it with other big game. All there is here is deer and hogs.

[assateague]

Unlimited doe, 1 buck per weapon. And I have 28 damage tags. And baiting is legal.

Ha. MD is good for something.

[assateague]

This is true.

I kind of wish we had a doe problem

2 buck tags. And 5 doe tags a day starting sometime in August till the end of the season. So like 300 and somthin...

[Tomkat]

Why camo the feeder? You do want the deer to find it, right?

dude come on. We're hunters, everything is camo

Fuck that. I want these deer to view the feeder as a free cookie jar and me as their friend. That way come opening morning - whack - friend is a backstabber!

Sometimes something new in a deer's environment will have them spooky. A large white column coming out of the ground isn't exactly normal. I fed sweet feed out of an old roaster pan once, and the first day it was out I had a doe lockup and high tail it when she saw it.

Good thing there is 6 weeks til season

And the contrary happens quite often, too. When hunting public land, I've seen deer come up and sniff on a tire which got tossed into the path, empty beer cans, and a strip of pink surveyors tape about 3 feet long flapping from a tree limb.

True but if the deer live in a seclude place where they don't have much contact with foreign objects they get spooked.

I find the opposite. If they are around people, they get spooked by people stuff. If they are secluded, they are stupidly curious

I think thats our deal, too.

[assateague]

Our tags are free. Kill as many as you want. I can't wait until they start offering a bounty for does. My thriftiness will give me a hard-on over that one. Free meat AND free money? Heck yes.

Does nobody else hunt around there?

WTH! You bitch all the time but can kill as many fuckin deer as you want?

[assateague]

Yep.

And yes, quite a few people hunt. The problem is that a lot- and I mean a LOT- of the farmland which used to be hunted by locals, with the "it's brown it's down" mentality (count me among them) to put it in the freezer have been leased out by folks and "clubs" from the western shore, most notably from the Baltimore area. I don't fault the farmers a bit, they're getting gobs of money for this stuff. But thses guys are down for maybe a week, but more likely a long weekend, during rifle season. The rest of the time the farm is off limits to everyone, and when they come down, the last thing they're going to do is blast a doe on opening morning and "screw up" the rest of the hunt that morning. They're down here for one thing and one thing only- to kill a big buck. It's not even QDM, it's just a desire to shoot a big deer. But they don't realize that what they're doing is counterproductive, and that the farms here aren't big enough for any sort of management practice. I will almost guarantee that very, very few hunters sit in a stand and do NOT see a deer they could easily kill. Whether they pull the trigger or not is another story.

And another big part of the problem is the decreasing of public hunting areas, and a complete lack of effort to open the suburban areas up to bow hunting. They keep expanding the "buffer" area, which takes areas away, slowly but surely. It used to be 100 yards from an occupied structure. Then it became 100 yards from any structure. And then 150 yards. And now it's 250 yards. And there's a serious push to pass a bill which requires that you be 250 yards from any other PROPERTY LINE, not even a structure, which will pretty much lock out a shit ton of hunting area. I personally won't pay any attention to it, but many people will. And the rats will continue to multiply. At least I can pick up a road kill deer pretty much at any moment if I feel like going out and getting one.

im thinking DH knows about as much about deer as he does explosive arrow heads

I see. Years ago they upped our tags to 1 buck and 6 does a year. Our deer numbers have decreased. Lees and less dead deer on the highway. Also opened unit 19 in KC metro, open close to 2 months for rifle use.

We had been at 2 bucks and 10 does per weapon for years and years. Didn't even make a dent. Then went to unlimited does and 1 buck. Not sure what their intentions are, but something needs to be done. These fuckers are everywhere. Just this afternoon, about 4:45, coming back from town I passed a herd of probably 35-40, broad daylight, in a bean field. That AR is gonna be put to use when it cools off. I will think nothing of taking a utility trailer loaded with deer like cordwood home for the butchering.

I wouldn't think nothing of it, I think it'd be pretty awesome.

This would be sheer awesomeness.

We are allowed two tags for the zone I hunt. I plant corn and milo for those little furry bastards. We love eating them so my wife gets a tag if I happen to fill my two. Two good size bucks last us for a long time, but killing three is better.
