Just caught this guy in the back yard.

he just saw you had NJGF up and posted pictures of the savage... he wanted to get a look in.

My neighborhood has three dumb doe running around, tripping over stuff, and being stupid. Deer are the least graceful animals I've ever seen. They always look panicked, and move retarded.

But, they taste good.

seriously?

 

never ate deer.

 

Here is the kicker... I would love to go hunt deer, or duck.... but what do you do with the kill?

 

I dont eat deer or duck for that matter.

I've had venison jerky, was pretty good (haven't had venison otherwise). Duck is pretty good too, but I've found it a bit more oily then I liked.

Hunt with someone who would like to keep your kill. Personally, I would like to hunt and learn how.

personally, I think it would be nice to have open season on canadian geese... too bad the public cant get in on it yet.

 

deer are just dumb... they cant help but to run out on the road.

 

geese, they just attack.

I wish that was my backyard.

 

Deer is good eating.

 

I stopped deer huntig because all I can hunt is public land and I can't put up with the public anymore for deer. I stick with Pheasant and stay away from the crowd so no one shoots my dog. It's amazing how inconciterate some hunters are. All they care about is making their kill and the hell with anyone else. It seems the ethics that once prevailed in hunters went the same direction as their driving courtesy.

How about a newbie deer hunt trip?

I too have wanted to experience a deer hunt. Not in NJ though, shotgun only in NJ right?

Maybe in NY or PA. With enough people we can rent a private parcel to hunt on.

speaking of deer, does anyone know whats growing on the side of the roads at this time of year. Just tonight I saw 5 deer munching away on the side of the road. They didn't even blink, I was able to get my truck slowly pulled up to one about 5 ft. away until he finally looked up and went ohh this might not be good and then ran away. It was crazy

Wild alfalfa sprouts? I'm not sure if its the right season though. Maybe natural/artificial salt licks? Or just some really good grass

Deer are indeed good eatin. They're out and about now because there is little to fear. And there is plenty to eat. With all this rain everything is lush. Anyone that has spent anytime in the woods knows they can be very cautious and graceful. I don't hunt but do enjoy watching them. I'm very excited to see what comes around this year. Last year we had some monsters. By south Jersey pine standards that is.

 

Things will change in a couple months. The bucks you see hanging together now will become sworn enemies come the rut. Everything changes when hunting season comes. They go nocturnal, retreat into the swamps, it's as though they just disappear. Doe's and young bucks are usually easy pickins if you're dedicated. The older trophy bucks know what's up.

I love DEER!!! I will take any deer you kill and dont want!!!!! Deer tenderloin is the bomb giggity!

Nice, I would have loved to have read that in the Jersey Journal. "Crazed man wheeling a knife kills innocent deer on the side of the road."

After deer hunting for a very long time as if to never harvest a deer, harvested this spike buck my 1st year of black powder, which started a phase of deer hunting for about 5 years and harvested in total 9 deer. tags on right antler. also two goose tags on left antler, 1st two geese i ever harvested and the last did not like the taste of goose. i have not deer hunted in about 8 years or so.. do not have the time any more and would much rather upland bird hunt.

 

 

Colt the pup wanted his pic taken, so i did.. :mrgreen: ruger in background snoozi'n

 

I grew up with German Short-hairs around the yard. Great dogs, not gun shy at all. A little to crazy about hunting though.

Just hope i can keep up with them next year, the pup only made two trips last year before my surgery, the surgery has slowed me down quite a bit but i get better every day.. never relized how much would have been taken out of me after the surgery.

what kinda surgery?

If we weren't in Jersey he could have used a mounted bayonet.

part of my kidney was removed to remove a tumor, also had a rib removed to be able to do the surgery, ended up being kidney cancer. it was found early so hopefully it will not return.

 

I have tests every 3 months, already had one mri, and just had a chest scan done to watch a 3mm nodule on my right lung, doc said not to worry it apears to be nothing and scheduled a new scan in 1 year, this morning had a echo cardiagram done and the mri to follow in one month for 2nd check up since surgery.

The worst part about that, is it wouldn't of been the craziest headline in NJ

Hope nothing comes of it tony, keep hunting and keep your head up!

Do you mean down Global? Or Liberty State Park? Liberty State Park is the closest you can get to the Statue of Liberty from the mainland.

not sure it was 25 years ago, my fathers partners son would drive their in his lemanns. dam car was fast.

the place was stacked with railroad ties and other train equipment. long paved road going in. it was a great place to drag race.. not sure if it still exists..

Duck is awesome! can we hunt it in NJ or do we just have to go to Peking Pavilion to get the best of it out here
