Two of the resident does on our property outside of Houston. The one on the left is pregnant in this photo and the one on the right is her previous year's fawn.
About a month later I came across her newborn and it survived the foxes and coyotes and is currently quite large and wondering why her mother is now being chased all around by the bucks.
I only ever shoot them with cameras, but I do like to hunt cottonmouths and copperheads, which we have plenty of also. |

It was taken with a 300mm telephoto so I wasn't any closer than about 150ft. They are pretty tolerant about being approached, up to a point. We have a small pond nestled between two wooded areas, and they often come up to the otherside to drink while I'm fishing in the evenings. Here's an 8 pointer. This is a frame grab from a video camera, so the quality is not as good.

We don't do hunting here on the Isle of Man. It's a gun thing, apparently. Although some guys on horses did have a drag hunt the other week (like a foxhunt, but instead of a fox, the hounds follow the scent of a 'previous' animal that has been dragged along a course...

Drinking while fishing is FAR more acceptable than when guns are involved.
BTW. This 'cuda was released.

This is from about 30 years ago, my Dad with a 51 lb. king.

Location: Hicksville, NY | I have gone on a hunt only twice, but that was many years ago back in college. Since I moved to the city, I haven't had the opportunity to do it again, but the hunting experiences that I had with my friends and former classmates was definitely a great time.
I made more trips to slaughterhouses, than going on hunting trips. I'm not a vegetarian ... in fact, I love ribeye steaks for dinner with a passion! I'm not against the killing of animals for food, as long as it is done as humanely as possible. Just IMO... |

Location: closely held secret | Thanks, Vic, it was beautiful. We sold it a couple years ago, and I miss it.
The deer were great on the jump shots. Passing and lay-ups, not so much. |

I did land a 62 lb Cobia (aka Lemonfish) a number of years ago.
This reminds me... time to service & re-line the 4/0 and 6/0. Spring will be here before we know it! |

Imagine you're a deer. You're prancin' along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water -BAMM!- A fuckin' bullet rips off part of your head. Your brains are lying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I axe ya, would you give a fuck what kinda pants the son-of-a-bitch who shot ya was wearing? |
