that's because they sense that you mean no harm. they know when they're being stalked.Cory Lover said:

Then why do the hunters stalk them if its easier to look like you mean no harm?
Cory Lover
This is just what I leared from watching deer that lived in the woods behind my complex in florida. me and my friend used to go and watch deer, and they never ran away. one day, my friend brought a rock to throw at them. he didn't even raise his arm, and they somehow immediately knew he was going to try to hurt them and they bolted. see what I mean?Cory Lover said:
Wow, its pretty rare to be able to sneak within 15-20 yards of a deer. Sure it happens, but around here it is rare. I have been within that range of deer in the middle of downtown columbus, or on the tractor out in the field, but in these seetings you cant hunt deer. I wont doubt though that in some areas of the world deer and other game animals may be less afraid of humans and more tame, just depends on the area, and I can see how that would affect someones views regarding them.Cory Lover said:
I've had deer within 20 yards on many occasions though, mostly being patient from my treestand, or walking through the woods when one jumps up and runs away - even 20 yards away and with a riffle often dont have enough time to get a good shot, or they often run into the thickest brush and in 2 seconds they are gone.
Me too. Although I do sometimes still hunt I prefer the treestand. Alot of hunters dont like sitting around all day, or even half a day, I just call them impatient and not disceplined lol! As far as my bow, its a Reflex Buckskin. Here is my bow outfit: http://tristan.homelinux.net/hunting/bow.htm The bow isnt anything super hot, but I really liked it and the fit me well, so I put my money in all the accesories for it. I just cant see spending 600-700 on a bare bow and still need a few hundred bucks for all the ad-ons, but I do come from a very frugal background lol. I started hunting with a PSE myself, a Thunderflight Express. Great bow. But it wasnt mine, and when I moved out of state it went back to the owner. Didnt get to bowhunt for many years. I just went back home for my 1 week break in fall and used a riffle. Now the last few years I am back in the bow scene and love it.wesleydnunder said:

Great picture, you should be proud of that project. Did you do a double exposure to get that picture, or did you sit underneath it while the Tesla coil was going? Right now, I only have a neon transformer as a Jacob's ladder. I plan to use it for my Tesla coil project. I have most of the parts now. My next step is to wind the secondary.loaches r cool said:Tesla - I like the name! You might want to check out one of my projects:
Thats my 'Tesla Pose' with my larger Tesla Coil I built back in college.
http://tristan.homelinux.net/quantum2/index.htm its not the best design or anything, but it worked well.
There are about 150 people each year that could tell you about that... but they're dead:sharpie said:
"According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety there are an estimated 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions annually in the United States, causing more than 150 fatalities and $1.1 billion in property damage. An estimated 10,000 more deer collisions occurred this year."
http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/midwest/2006/10/23/73507.htm
$1.1 billion is a large number too. If a storm or terrorists caused that much damage and killed that many people, it would be a big news story!
Most of the time I think of it as the deer commiting suicide, unfortunately it sometimes results in the loss of human life. Though this fact does not weigh in to my hunting beleifs, that is just a side effect of overpopulation - though there will always be accidents even with a good population.Cory Lover said:
Yeah, to be honest I would love to live up in Canada. I have climbed many a mountain in the Adirondacks in NY and the White Mounatins of NH. Beautiful wilderness up there in Canada, though I have never had the opurtunity to travel very far.

Hunting is Necessary Evil
Hi there,
I don't condone hunting but it is a double edge sword and many conservationalist will support hunting.
Reasons why hunting is necessary for the greater good.
1. Population K control
2. Hunters pay for licenses that the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) use to support conservation and restoration efforts
3. Prevents animal starvation suffering
4. Helps humans coexist with the wild in our modern world i.e decreases animal/car collisions.
Item #2 is a huge factor. Hunters are one of the primary sources of income for research and conservation projects, without them many other animals would also suffer or become extinct across the US. The DFG makes sure that hunting seasons begin and end to ensure a balance the eco system. Although it may seem inhuman to kill these animals, in today's world it has become essential for the preservation of the species and many others.

I went to school with a guy whos dad was a big-game hunter guide in Africa. He said that the poaching problem exploded when big-game hunting was made illegal there. The hunters, whatever you may think about the ethics of hunting, kept the poachers in check. When they left, the game wardens were overwhelmed and undermanned.
