white tail deer hunting (firearms) - november

[chilipeppermaniac]

My son and I will be hunting for the first time this year. He will be hunting before me on the junior hunt weekend. A friend who is experienced will be taking us to his site and show us the ropes. I totally expect my son and I to do the work, participate to the fullest, and
learn from beginning to end. Even bought a new rifle appropriate for deer.

I am hoping we can do well enough to be invited back during the normal season so my 13 year old son can teach me how it's done.

I actually went on a Jr Hunt as an adult.

One of my first deer hunting experiences. My buddy and 2 of his 3 boys who were 15 and under at the time went out on their property.

I was scouting obviously unarmed, as was the dad. The 2 boys were using 30-30's and or a 243.

One of the 2 got a deer that day, and a bonus. As he went to retrieve his deer, a small deer wearing a bandana came up to him. It was obviously bottle fed and human raised then released. We later found out the story as a neighbor lady was that responsible party. She did the bandana so no one would shoot the " baby" deer.

As a life long hunter,,, this thread is sounding a "Little OFF"
I garden because I enjoy growing and providing my own food, I raise chicken because I enjoy raising my own food. I do not "Enjoy" the actual killing part of hunting. But I DO enjoy the entire process of hunting. I scout, I practice off season with a firearm that will dispatch the deer cleanly (20ga Ultra Slug Hunter), I track and recover my game, we quarter, cut/wrap and freeze the meat ourselves,, Then cook and eat deer a few times a week.

I think what is sounding odd to many is: You want to "Kill a deer" with a marginal weapon,, and have zero desire to eat the deer meat.
I think if a person wanted someone to just "hand them some meat wrapped in fur,, they would just go to the grocery store.
I don't think hunters as a whole have a desire to mentor someone who just wants to kill a deer with an AR and has no desire to utilize the meat.
Just my observations

You may be on to something here...

Yes.
Soon as I hear 223 and deer hunting with Ar 15.
I know I'm into expert territory and out of my league for big deer camp fire talk.

Hey Mr. aznboi87, it is customary for new members to introduce themselves in the introductions section. The rest of us get a sense of who you are. If I may, you are behind in doing this.
And let me say welcome to the forum.

Must have had a change of heart, his AR is in the classifieds now.

Now the recent odd new threads/posts make sense - had to get that post count up to access the classifieds.

Or( benefit of doubt) he said his wife will not let him buy another rifle so he could be trying to offload this to get the appropriate hunting rifle‍♂️ or not!

I feel like this needs to be said. Please don't shoot a deer with a FMJ round.

I even load my tyrant rounds with Hornady ballistic tips. I’m not a savage, and I never signed the Geneva Convention.
