Funny thing is I put deer in the same class as rats. Except deer do taste good, don't know about rats.

They already outlawed any 'body gripping traps" in my state so I guess I will be SOL for venison.

You could always hit them with your truck?

Or you could use a blow-gun. As long as its not an assault blow gun. Then there is always the hammer. They are actually more lethal than a rifle I hear.

I think that would work well. Just don't be tempted to do the Tarzan move and jump out of your tree stand with your Walmart Bowie knife thinking you are going to get a clean kill on a deer. You may succeed but from what I've seen you will near about die trying. :lol2: :lol2:

When as a young pup I was squirrell hunting and saw this eight pointer with his horns tangled up in some grapevines in the middle of a briar patch.I thought I could help him get untangled.NOT!!
After the dust settled I was on my back with about every patch of skin either bleeding or bruised.
Next day one eye blackend and swelled shut.
The minute I touched him he was like a giant spring coming unwound'
I went quickley from trying to get him untangled to trying to get the he** out of the briar patch.
Now that is one of the stupid things I've done in my life that the memory still remains to this day.

Couple of years ago my son shot a decent 8 Point. He came and got me to look for the deer we brought our dog and figured she would go right to where he laid down and died. When she found him he jumped and ran off. I was able to get her caught and had seen where he was laid back down. We eased up to the thicket and I couldn't see him to shoot again so I turned her loose. He came out the other side dragging her and she wasn't about to let go and she slowed him down enough that I ran up and attempted to bulldog him. I couldn’t shoot because of the dog. # 1 deer horns don’t rest on your chest like cow horns do, #2 cows usually only try to keep moving in a straight line and will buck a little. Deer jump,twist,flip,flop and any other description to could add would be accurate. #3 the people helping you are always way behind. #4 you cannot get to your knife to try and end the fight and #5 once the deer’s throat is cut he still fights and it seems like hours before he dies. And #6 when the dog realizes that you are helping and they decide to re grip they do not know the difference between jeans and deer skin.

Would a aqua net powered potato gun be also under the gun ban?
That could down a deer I think.
My brothers made some back in the day.

I helped work a herd of domestic deer ONCE. It was for sure memorable. They would run up into a lighted box with a trap door on the side. You had to grab them in a squeeze hold them to work them. If you weren't quick or held them secure- they would get a kick or 20 in over a couple seconds. They weren't as big as the wild variety, but they were quick and their hooves are sharp as knives. A girl that was there missed grabbing a doe. It was cold that day and luckily she was heavily clothed, but I can tell you that it didn't require any new Tony Lama's to know what color her underwear was and that they were matching.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ5YUKIM1KcI decided then and there I didn't want to tangle with the wild variety.

I've been involved in that situation and was laughing so hard I couldn't get off my horse to help. That the funniest thing you will ever see.

Katherine I will say this as soon as the rope goes on the little 120 lb deer, it turn's into a 2 ton beast that will eat you and the horse. Shortly after the little 120 lb deer blow's up a rodeo like you have never seen will occur. At this moment you realize that you haved failed the IQ test for the day and there is going to be a stupid tax to pay. It goes downhill quickly from there.

What possessed you to rope one in the first place?

First off was 18 or 19 years old lack of brains was a contributing factor here.
Second seemed like a good idea at the time.
Fred and I used to seem to get into thing's we shouldn't have.
I don't think you could rope one without a hazer.
