paulcarol+FollowThis public land hunter tried to steal my deer after I shot itPicture this: I'm set up perfectly in my favorite spot, hour before sunrise. Then a UTV comes blazing through, ruining everything. But it gets worse. As I'm packing up, a nice 3-point walks out. Clean shoulder shot, saw him stumble and run toward where that UTV went. Minutes later, I hear rapid semi-auto fire. Found the guy standing over MY deer - now riddled with gut shots. When I politely mentioned I'd shot it first, he squared up and started yelling it was his kill. The broken leg and my bullet hole on the opposite side told a different story. I just congratulated him and walked away laughing. Enjoyed watching him try to clean those gut shots. Got a bigger buck in the same spot the next day anyway. Sometimes the best revenge is just letting karma handle things, you know? #Hunting #publicland #deerhunting #deerseason10741Share
Manuel Bright+FollowOops, I probably created some anti-hunters 😬Took my buddy hunting last weekend - he got his second deer ever, a beautiful doe! But here's where I messed up... Went to the car wash the next day to clean deer blood out of my truck bed. Workers peeked over, saw the blood, and their faces went from curious to horrified real quick. I let them stew for a bit before gruffly saying "deer blood." Manager was still shaken but let me through. Made me realize: messing with nonhunters might be funny, but it sure doesn’t help the image of hunters. Lesson learned—next time, I’ll keep the mess (and the jokes) out of town. #hunting #deerhunting #Outdoors 8711442Share
paulcarol+FollowWhere would you buy hunting land if you could?If I could buy hunting land anywhere, I’d go with western Oklahoma near Elk City or down around Lindsay in the south-central part. Solid deer numbers, room to shoot without a range, and great bonus hunting—dove, hogs, and coyotes. Curious where you guys would pick and why? #hunting #DeerHunting #HuntingLand #Oklahoma3213Share
Eric Ford+FollowAlmost had my first public land buck! Year 2 of self-taught public land hunting in Ohio and I'm still learning the hard way! Spent most of last season sitting 1.5+ miles from the car, sunrise to noon routine. Saw deer 3 times but never close enough for a shot. Then at 10am while just scouting near a pond, a shooter buck comes GALLOPING past me at 10 yards! I'm fumbling with shells, following his trail around the pond... and end up scaring off a rabbit and some doves instead 😅 3 more hours of walking = nothing. Public land will humble you every time! #hunting #deerhunting #Outdoors 795Share
