deer
Deer (singular and plural) are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. Species in the family include the white-tailed deer, mule deer (such as the black-tailed deer), elk, moose, red deer, reindeer (caribou), fallow deer, roe deer, pudú and chital. Male deer of all species (except the Chinese water deer) and female reindeer grow and shed new antlers each year. In this they differ from permanently horned animals, such as antelope, which are in the same order as deer and may bear a superficial resemblance to them.
The musk deer of Asia and water chevrotain (or mouse deer) of tropical African and Asian forests are not usually regarded as true deer and form their own families: Moschidae and Tragulidae, respectively.
Some of the guys at work found out I was a hunter and became interested enough to ask questions. I showed them pictures and told them stories and soon, I could tell they had the bug. I knew of a large piece of land that would accommodate us and we set out to form a group to share hunting camp...
Just found this post from a local news channel's FB page....
HUNTERS BEWARE: If you see bubbles and white spots in a deer's rib cage DO NOT EAT IT! It’s bovine tuberculosis.
...and a link dealing with the subject...Hunters warned to be on the lookout for bovine tuberculosis in deer
Granted...
My season ended at 06:45 or so this morning. Field dressed by sun-up. Not a huge rack but he will taste good (wheat fed).
100 yds off hand. He was running, and stopped and turned to look back. Entry was just behind the left shoulder and exit was midships on the right side. Missed the spine...
I’m having a hard time deciding which rifle to carry deer hunting this year. I’ll be hunting on the east side.If you have a choice do you prefer bolt actions or semi- autos?
So in a nut shell, the area I and another prominent member here were planning to hunt this year isn't going to work out.
That puts us about a month away from season and no good idea as to where to go.
West or East side would be fine.
Even an additional Hunter (property owner) would be a...
Your propbaly wondering whats this deer hunters dream your talking about ... Well im talking about the savage 212 bolt action slug slinger. With a 24in rifled barrel and hornady 300g sst 2 3/4in slugs. You just cannot go wrong shooting under 200 yards and realistically how often are you shooting...
Last elk season (2017) I saw the least amount of deer since I got serious about 10 years back. Normally during 2nd season elk out east you see buck chasing tail all over the place.
I am guessing the hard previous winter took its toll.
Has anyone been out east around heppner, fossil, ukiah...
I recently moved here to Oregon this summer from Georgia and I am trying my best to understand yalls regulations/ tag system. I have never used the tag and points system before and was curious as to the best way to get a tag and acquire these points. Do you have to pay to apply for a tag? Can...
While I was looking through an antique store here in Tennessee a few weeks ago. I came upon an Item which with the thin skinned precious people out there today. I WAS DEEPLY OFFENDED AS IT HURT MY PRECIOUS FEELINGS!:rolleyes:
But as much as it offended my MANLYHOOD I had to have the metal sign...
This is sad, the guy broke the rules by hunting after hours and hunting on private property without permission.
I hope he faces charges and spends some time behind bars. This was just ignorant negligence.
Hunter shoots, kills woman after mistaking her for a deer, officials say Hunter shoots...
Just got back from my lunch walk, a doe trots out the parking lot and across the road, 50 yds from me.
Lots of acorns on the property now, but noon seems like a 'learned' response - has learned not to fear cars, people.
Couldn't get phone out of pocket to grab a snap in time, sorry...
At the last minute I grabbed one of my 6.8 SPC's out of the safe for our Mule Deer (WA State) opener yesterday.
If I'm goin to hunt with a AR I usual shoot a 6.5 Grendel or a 6mm-6.8 SPC. This particular carbine shoots 1/2 MOA out to 400 yards with the factory Hornady 120gr SST loads. So I was...
