It's more like you're acting as an exterminator. I mean, I'm 100% for reintroducing wolves and cougars and bears to naturally control the population, but you gotta kill these drat things.

My shotgun was $250, plus $40 for a hunting license, and another $20 or so for ammo. It's not cheap, by any means.

I use my dad's 12 gauge to hunt small game. He paid $20 for it at Kmart in 1980.

You better be ready to watch the lifeblood of an animal pump out of its wound as it struggles to breathe while you chamber the next round to end this creature's suffering. If you're lucky it won't make eye contact as you pull the trigger a final time.


E: but once you get past that, venison is super tasty and healthy. Free range organic grass fed hormone free meat. Idk why hippies don't like hunting.

How do I start hunting deer? Nobody in my family hunts, some of my relatives believe hunting/fishing is cruel (they are wrong, for deer are a cruelty inflicted on us). Is there a class I can take? Can I just get slugs for my 870 and some orange camo and go sit in a tree? Just how much do these fuckers weigh gutted, can I carry or drag it back to my car without a 4x4 or something? How do I not get dead deer all over the trunk of my car? Am I just getting hung up on the finer details here?

Lots of states have hunter safety classes and you might even be required to take one if you're young enough (born after 1985-ish? where I am, for example). Either way it's a good idea if you've never hunted before, they'll teach you a lot of what's involved in addition to the basic safety stuff.

You'll need to at least learn how to dress a deer after you kill it (basically get all the guts and non edible stuff out). This isn't too hard and there are lots of YouTube videos out there. Knowing how to process deer (the actual butchering / turning it into food) is useful, but there's nothing wrong with having that done professionally, especially for your first time.

What kind of gun you can use varies; you'll need to check your local regulations. They come in little booklets you can get for free at the sporting goods store. Generally it will be rifle and/or shotgun + slug.

You'll need some blaze orange clothes. Your regulations will probably have a precise minimum amount you have to wear in square inches but this usually amounts to a vest. Orange hat isn't a bad idea either. Deer are colorblind and can't really see you too well if you hold still, so this has no effect on your deer stealthiness.

Gutted deer are still fairly heavy but aren't too hard to drag. Some guys use little carts with bike wheels on them, or a cheap plastic sled if there's snow. Don't put a dead deer in your trunk, either tie it to the outside of your car somewhere or borrow a truck.

Good luck, I hope by next year you will be doing your part to combat the hooved menace

How do I get started hunting humans? What are our most succulent cuts of meat? If the victim is in extreme pain or fear does that affect the meat quality?

Make sure you bring a gallon Ziploc with you hunting deer. The heart and liver are really good. I've never tried the kidneys because I was always told growing up that deer kidneys taste like piss. However, something something, goons liking a gamey piss taste joke.

I used to deer hunt, then I moved to a state with a massive season that lets you run deer with dogs, so the deer are all tiny and trying to bow hunt down here is a waste of time.

Seriously whats the point of running deer with dogs?

Deer is loving gross. That poo poo is cat food.


Don't eat deer from the south, or the west, really only eat deer that live near corn or soy fields, they have the best meat, everything else tastes like poo poo when you get corn-fed venison.

At our ranch my grandparents have corn feeders for the deer and they taste pretty drat good. It makes hunting them convenient, too, because you can usually just sit near the feeder and some will usually show up. Sometimes when you shoot one, the others don't run away and they put their heads back down and keep eating as one of their compatriots bleeds to death 10 feet away.

Deer are beautiful, majestic creatures, it's just that their only survival mechanism is RUN AWAY or MAKE BABIES

Car driving at you? Hold VERY still, maybe it won't see you. Then, at the last minute, jump RIGHT INTO the windshield.

Long winter? Too many deer, not enough food? Dead deer? MAKE BABIES, MAKE EVEN MORE BABIES AWW YEAH JUST BABY MAKING THATLL FIX IT

They pretty much just gently caress and give birth until they can't all fit and die, and we killed off most the the animals that eat them to keep it somewhat in check
