   But how did that property that you hunt get to that point in the first place? Deer don't just explode overnight infact quite the contrary. Most of the time it is someone protecting them at some...

   Maybe I'm wrong but having read the link it sounded like deer were coming out of public land, rather than have a go at the farmers surrounding the public why not get in there at the source an shoot...

   You are onto it. Mate with a thermal sees dozens all over the place. Open up on them though, and you'll be lucky to get two-three of them. They are not silly.

   I wouldnt do it. Guts out and hanging as quickly as possible . If it was the next day id only take back straps depending on bullet damage etc.

   Interesting thread. Lots of great opinions based on practical experience. My opinion is that aerial shooting is the only answer. There are just too many deer for private hunters to deal with. We...

   For myself it normally a day to walk in and a day walking out, some places it’s two days to get into areas where the numbers are really high, so I just fill up with back steaks from 2 to 6 deer....

   So here's something else I'd like to throw into the mix for discussion. An important part of my plan when setting up my night shooting rig has always been to have a rig which can go straight back to...
