Interesting video

[S.Clancy]

I'm sure this is going to turn into a dumpster fire, but I was pursuing YouTube while hiding in the shade archery deer hunting and came across this video. Interesting to say the least.

 

[MTN Humper]

Interesting for sure. I believe you may be right about this turning into dumpster fire as well.

SMH

 

[Crowmangler]

yes, that's exactly what this dumbass needs to be encouraging hunters to do ... especially on public land

 

[Pacific_Fork]

I’ll start the fire.

“We all need to stick together” says all the influencers.

I’d rather quit hunting than be affiliated with these kind of complete morons.

If someone tries it and it works, his buddies will think he’s smart. If the BOAL walks behind a bush at the shot they’ll think he’s stupid. Lol

Deer that live near a rifle range are sure to react differently than deer out in the middle of a nonmotorized zone right?

 

[SuperDUECE22]

I guess whoever filmed that video and then posted it has never heard the saying " Stupidity is better kept a secret than displayed"

 

[Soj51hopeful]

Not every animal will react the same way. Pretty lame of those guys to take 1 instance and preach it gospel.

 

[Northwest Outdoors]

This definitely falls on the list of things I'll be sure not to try lol

Yes. We have deer that walk out on our rifle range all the time. It's a pain when they find something they like near the target you're working on shooting. I've shot way over the back of many and they don't flinch.

What makes him a dumbass? Why is this so bad? I don't think he said anything about public vs private. That deer is definitely on private ground if it is where I think it is.

As far as sighters go, if the situation allows for it, why not? I think one of the owners of this forum has spoken about doing it before....

I am pretty sure I remember reading @Ryan Avery did this on his Idaho moose tag.

Yeap! Then I made a perfect shot at 1775 yards.... Would I do it again? Probably not, mainly because of bullet construction. But do Sighter shots work, absolutely

 

[TaperPin]

I don’t see anything wrong with it during the hunting season. However, it’s not anything I’m interested in since my max range is 600 yards.

I’d think a game warden could argue you are harassing animals if it’s tried outside the season. Idk

If deer were as cute as whales we couldn’t hunt them, and if they looked like big rats there wouldn’t be a limit and the season never ends. lol

Well I guess I'm the dumbass then

 

[WCB]

I've seen this many times at longer ranges 500+ yards. I have also seen where the deer bolt and never stop.

So the answer isn't yes...it is...depends

 

[IDVortex]

Wow. Can't believe no one is speaking up for the lost of life with that rock. Why isn't anyone in arms about the rocks? Don't rocks lives matter?!

 

[*zap*]

rocks =gravel

 

[Vaultman]

Next thing you know the guy didn't have time to sight in at multiple distances before the season to get his drop... he'll just sight it in at the distance the deer is standing at, but 100 yds behind him.
