They have lots of deer down there and I saw seven that day, all female. It's okay to shoot females down there but I didn't have any safe shots.

Them there "female deer" don't like to be called that. Antlerless or doe, that's it... never "female".

Deer can tell when a hunter is a little green behind the ears. They probably know that you called them "female" and that's why you can't get a good shot.

Next time you see a "female" deer you need to yell out: Hey, there's a "Doe"... That will stop them in their tracks and then you can get a good shot at them. Works everytime!

Speaking of deer, was rather annoyed at the fact my typical vacation time for hunting season this year was abruptly taken off the table due to stuff going on at work, so I was pretty much convinced that it wasn't going to be a successful season. However when it comes to filling the freezer I have no pride at all, settled for a neighborhood deer right in my back yard. Taken with my muzzleloader at 25 yards. Not bad though 114 lb doe dressed, and good eating!

Nice job Maxum! That will put some good meat in the freezer!

Very hard Togo to work in the morning, but have save a couple days off for holidays. Can't wait to get back out there and try my rifle this week. Nice deer, I'd be happy with any. Good organic meat.

Well, I messed up. We were on our way home from dinner at the Granite Steak House in Rochester, and as we were coming up to the flashing light in New Durham, a deer came out in front of us. I had just passed a car and put up my high beams, and saw the deer. This is where I screwed up. Instead of sitting on a tree stand for hours at a time, hoping to shoot a deer with a 30-30 bullet moving at 2300 feet per second per second, I could have picked off the deer with a 2010 Corolla doing 40 MPH, but I guess I was smart and hit the brakes. We were both able to live to see another day.

It was a little close, not laying down rubber skidding to a stop close, but close. Nice spike buck.

Maxum. nice deer.

Sounds like that deer was just toying with you. If the deer truly have a death wish you don't get a chance to hit the brake. BTDT.....

The same thing happened to me a couple of years ago In that same spot. coming back from Johnsons steak house In the dark, I think the state should fence that paticular area of the highway as It seems that Its a constant problem

Maybe a letter to the editor is in order

A lot of deer get hit by cars west of Crown Point on U.S. 231. There are too many cars to have the deer crossing here. The deer crossing sign needs to be moved to a road with less traffic.

For muzzleloading season, one of these would give the best "bang for the dollar".

One pull of the trigger—seven shots!

Hopefully, that is.

...but maybe not!

No picking tiny pellets out of "dinner".

Just like the original, you can load it at leisure—in front of your TV.

Funny - is that Moose picture from NH?

hilltopper · 01-22-2013, 08:45 AM

I believe from reading snowmobiling forums it was Northern VT but I'm not 100% sure...

Three deer today. One on the side of the road near Mitt Romney's church in Wolfeboro this morning, and two crossing the road on RT 109 down near the Mirror Lake boat launch on Rt109 at 4pm today. The last two were a close call. Had it been dark I would have nailed at least the first one to cross. Notably the second one to cross was rather smallish looking. No where near the size of the first one.

Keep your eyes open at dawn and dusk people.....

Do you mean the boat launch by the Libby? Did you know that that section starting at the Libby and ending before Tuftonboro Neck has always been known as "The Narrows"?

Lakesrider · 01-23-2013, 10:08 AM

No. I meant the small ramp near Askew Landscaping. The ramp goes into Mirror Lake, not Winni.

Ok, I wasn't sure which one you were talking about. Anyway, you now know what to call that section I mentioned if you see deer there, right?
