DNP Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I have not gone out on a deer hunt in a loooong damn time. Gonna change that this year. Got 2 tags for our county and was lucky on the draw. One is an either sex archery (which means I might get to eat one of our yard deer) and the other is just a regular D16. Hopefully between either of those hunts I’ll be able to track something down. Pickings are slim in San Diego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Aww, poor guy! Drink your Ovaltine (or whatever) to brace yourself for the coming ordeal. Or, in other words, have fun brother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketch Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I haven't been since a kid with friends.. I do ducks sometimes but the girls have a game taste phobia. Hope you can eat the whole animal yourself. Gave my bow away 8 years ago or it would be yours. new gear is pretty hi tech compared! Happy hunting!!

DNP Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks. My dad has a bow I might borrow. He hasn’t used it for a few years. Dusty has been wanting one for herself anyways, so getting a couple may not be a bad deal. We have a great shop in town with an owner who is truly dedicated to getting everyone of his customers set up and running right, so we’ll have to pay him a visit soon.

dpete Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I've got one word for you if they are legal to use where you are in Cali. Crossbow! Much less of a learning curve than a vertical bow for someone who hasn't used one and they aim with a scope similar to a rifle. Killing range is truly about the same as a bow, although people will try to bullchit you and say its much longer. Those are the folks that are willing to lob an arrow at a deer at 50 yards.

DNP Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I think crossbows fall in the rifle category. I’ve worked with bows over the years. I used to shoot a recurve a lot. I’ve shot my dad’s compound a handful of times. What a great reason to practice. I might start hanging out in the tree stand to get used to it and see how close I can get. Should be able to get in around 15-30 yards. I’ll get cameras back up on our trail. We had 3 come through every night for a while. I scared one out of the bushes last Saturday when I was out pruning up the horse trail that leaves from our property. I should go shopping before they close all the stores again.
