Ever sneak up on a sleeping deer? Fotos and story on Page 3
« on: December 14, 2013, 10:14:22 pm »


I found this 4x4 white tail buck out like a light this afternoon and snapped a quick show with the cell phone.  I didn't have a sharpie with me, so I couldn't descend into cheap frat house tricks, though.

The trick is to watch where you place your feet. Do not commit any weight to the forward foot until you have felt thru the sole of your shoes for anything that may crackle, snap, or pop.  Of course, it don't hurt any if you put a .50 caliber ball thru his boiler room first.  Makes 'em go ni'-ni' in right fashion.

And kudos to you for supplying me with something to unzip his gut locker with.  I'm afraid it got a little dirty.

I have more pics on my camera, but no way to download them here at work. Will post more later.

Oh maaaan! I almost had me a new super hero with your sneaky cat like ability, then I finished reading. Oh well! Nice looking buck, for shore he will taste far better than my tag soup. ;)

With the worsening tendonitis in my elbow, I am gonna be eating side dishes of archery tag soup with this guy's steaks and roasts.

He was loaded inside with rolls of fat.  Great condition going into winter, so I have great hopes that the herd will do ok this year again.

JW, that deer is sooo, cute. Did you sing a little lullaby before it went sent?

I read "Good Night Moon" to it instead of singing.

I have snuck up on does with their kids I guess a bunch of times, always in fields with high grass. Never sleeping, but they were lying down in it. Never on purpose, I'm always hunting for bow wood, not them, haha. I think the deer around here about retarded though.
