    Default Does anyone on here hunt deer?

    So, I'm dating a guy that's HUGE into hunting.. Like he went yesterday and put out the corn and stuff for the deer and put up his stands... I wanna be interested in the sport, but I don't know anything about it, plus I'm terrified of guns simply because I don't know anything about them...

    Anyone got any pointers? Do you know of anything I could do to get interested?

    do a google search for firing ranges. I just went to Bulls Eye yesterday in Lawrenceville. You can rent guns there if you dont own one. Have you talked to the BF about this? Since he is so into it, Im suprised you didnt talk to him first.

    I deer hunt. It can be real fun, but can also be real boring. It's what you make of it. If you are interested we could meet at the range in Oakwood and you could fire some rounds with my rifle. Maybe that would help you get over your fear of guns. They are really nothing to fear. If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them.

    i use to... hunting is unreal... like maestro said, it's what you make it...


    btw... i'm pretty sure (unless the rules have changed recently) bait piles are illegal in ga.... i know it's not hunting season yet... so maybe that doesn't matter.. but i don't think you can hunt over a bait pile here....

    ranges are all over the place. he obviously has guns if he likes to hunt so make him take you

    i've never been hunting but would like to go some time, just figure it'd be easier for you to maybe get used to the idea if you at least became comfortable with/around guns

    Yes, I've talked to him, and he wants to teach me everything there is to know, but I don't want to go in there completely BLIND.. I hate looking dumb (even though in this category, I really am!) Do I have to buy camo and all of that stuff?

    He speaks the troof. You cannot bait the deer, but what her boyfriend is doing is perfectly legal. He is setting corn out in the area he intends to hunt well in advance of the season. What this does is gets the deer use to coming to that area where they know there will be a food source. Once the season starts he will stop laying out the corn and just wait for the hungry deer to come walking through once more.

    Yes, camo is a must, but so is the super bright hunter's orange vest. I would recommend looking up a hunter safety course in either Hall or Gwinnett and go take it. It's a good class to take and you get certified which makes it a ton easier when getting your hunter's license.

    Ok, I definitely will do it. I guess I should start researching on that since the season starts in less than a month and a half...

    JM... I'm dumb in the hunting division, but I'm not dumb in general!!

    Tiff, here is the DNR link that explains alot about the safety course.

    http://georgiawildlife.dnr.state.ga....xtDocument=306


    The offer stands if you want to try firing a rifle without first shooting one in front of your bf. My wife did not want to shoot in front of me because she thought she would look dumb in front of me so I had a friend take her to the range the first time and she became comfortable shooting after that.

    bow hunting is where it's at....

    shooting a bow is just hardcore...

    but i basically stopped hunting when i moved to ga.... deer are smaller, finding a good spot is harder.... and it's just too hot most of the time...


    (i'm from MI our fawns are bigger than north ga's "big deer") lol

    Hell yeah bow hunting is where it's at. That is the ultimate in deer hunting. Nothing like taking out a deer Tanto style.

    I have only hunted in the south, i.e. Georgia and Florida. I would really love to hunt up in the northern states sometime.

    I've tagged along on hunts before but have never actually shot (no licenses, etc) but it was really fun. There's a decent range down here in Athens that lets you rent a variety of different firearms (The Firing Lane). Dunno if that's closer or further than other places for you. Definitely take the hunter safety/gun safety course... Guns don't kill people... people with guns do. Picking up a gun and not being comfortable with it is just as dangerous as pointing it at someone's head... if you're nervous, accidents are 100% more likely.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Now that is one hunting I've never tried. I would love to hunt some hogs. That's hunting for real when you actually stalk your target instead of waiting for it to come to you.

    no i don't...but i do have plenty of katanas!

    in all seriousness though, is it bad that i would just like to hunt for sport instead of for food? i mean, i have no interest in skinning and cleaning it =/
