Myself, I can't imagine shooting a huge animal, chasing it down, cutting it open, and getting myself shoulders-deeps in guts.  Not to say I'm against hunting.  On the contrary, I'd rather that people harvest deer (which have no negative impact on the environment) rather than cows that over-graze, pound the ground flat, and ooze methane gas.  The details of hunting just gross me out.  I can buy a whole chicken, cut it up and cook it, but then I have a hard time eating it.  I'm glad we have folks around who can dress an animal for the rest of us.

 

We have way more deer in Michigan than we need.  A few days ago, I was at home watching a football game in the evening when someone knocked on my door.  This just about never happens (actually, it has never happened before)  because my house and out-buildings are surrounded by a six-foot fence, so it kinda freaked me out.  Turns out, it was my neighbor who shot a deer that ran and then died on my property.   He wanted to drive his truck the 1/4 mile to the back of my field to pick up the deer rather than drag it home 1/4 mile through the woods back home.  I told him to have at it and that if he could spare a little ground meat for me to make some chili, I'd be happy and he could hunt my property as if it were his own.

 

So, good luck hunters.  Every deer harvested is one less nasty cow we need.

right on!

 

can make delicious ground deer , deer sausage, deer steaks, deer ribs? , deer stew...

 

plenty o deer out there to eat. what was it, some kind of crazy number like 50,000 deer - car accidents in michigan or oakland county?

 

Each year, there are nearly 50,000 reported vehicle-deer crashes in Michigan. About 80 percent of these crashes occur on two-lane roads between dusk and dawn. The most serious crashes occur when motorists swerve to avoid a deer and hit another vehicle or a fixed object, or when their vehicle rolls over.

shoot a deer, save a life! and stop swerving into my lane because there is a deer in your silly billy lane!

 

this is also why we want the wolves to not be hunted. the wolves eat the deers too.

I listened to an NPR broadcast just a few days ago about a Michigan guy who pioneerd wildlife photography in the late 1800s.  They said that there were about 100,000 white-tail deer in the continental US at that time.  And now, we have 50,000 deer-car collisions in Michigan alone.  There are waaay more deer out there than we need.  If you're going to eat red meat, eat deer instead of cow.

well the part i didnt quote above

While the state's two million deer are most active in spring and fall, vehicle-deer crashes are a year-round problem.

20 degrees is warm and toasty for deer season.  It is much colder here.  About 7 degrees in th emorning. :-)

Hmmm, I'll always love a big slice of cow tho.

450 miles from my hunting grounds.  Probably next year when I'm more settled.  Hopefully I'll get some cuts from the people hunting our property back in NYS.

Hey Norby, does NY have a similar hunting season as we do here?

[Norby]

Pretty much,  I think late season muzzleloader goes into Jan here and it ends dec15 in NYS.  Other than that shotgun opener is the same and bow was the same.   Oct1st-nov.14th bow, 15th to dec 7th shotgun/rifle and 8th to 15th late bow/ muzzleloader
