..now Dr. Deer (Dr. James Kroll, deer biologist from Texas) said exact same thing. Almost my exact words, but I've never hunted whitetail deer anywhere but Georgia and north Missouri.

… from what I’ve seen … they got them about domesticated and coming into feed fairly regularly now

… a lot of big pinewood deer being killed out of shooting houses over gardens and feeders these days

… they’ve finally been conditioned

This is funny and also true. Deer here at home are the foot stompingest most giraffe necking cervids on the planet. Ive hunted in Illinois many times and while not dumb are way easier to kill at close range. Grill me for it if you must i said what i said.

Deer hunting in Florida.

Just doesn’t sound right. Probably why no hunting shows there.

I heard a guy on a podcast about Iowa deer hunting. He said total land area of Iowa is about 8% cover. Arkansas probably about 75% cover. They harvest about 20/25% of the total deer population in Iowa each year. No rifles, no baiting, no rut hunting, no dogs, no crossbows, short seasons, etc. in AR, we harvest about the same percentage of the total deer population as Iowa - baiting, crossbows, rut hunting, rifles, dog running, 8 week seasons, and a ton of cover.

How about south Texas if you couldn’t hunt over bait I’d say with the short brush you’d have a hard time . Illinois isn’t easy because we can only shoot straight case rifles , if I could shoot a 7 mm I could kill a lot of nice deer at 300 plus yards . Now everyone has an opinion but in reality put in your time in good area because if the biggest deer you have is a 1 year and a half 6 point it’s the best u can kill

Most is right but we can now use some rifles, and crossbows are used by the disabled.

I googled it. I didn’t know that was a thing. Figured a rifle is a rifle and any could be used for rifle season.

… I remember back when we had the first ammo shortage

.. a slick friend of a hand that hunted with me was invited… he didn’t have any ammo for his 270 or whatever he had

… so he went to a gun shop looking for some .. the only rifle ammo they had was 350 legend … so he asked if they had the rifle for it as well lol

… that was the first time I ever heard of that caliber

… he ended up killing a buck with it lol
