C&F is the closest, but they only open till 3 on Sat and closed on Sunday. Any late kills might go to waste and I dont have a deep freezer.

If I cant located a hunters-for-the-hungry drop-off location and you could use the meat and would be willing to meet up somewhere to collect a deer in the South Nashville/Franklin area, PM me. ]]> Hunting TNTitan http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/hunting/30646-who-needs-deer-meat.html Hunting with my AR-15??? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/hunting/30636-hunting-my-ar-15-a.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:22:29 GMT Is it legal to hunt with the .223 caliber?

I let these doe and a 5 point walk.
I had plenty of shots on them but I'm looking for a bigger buck and not looking to take a doe at the moment.
I didn't get the 5 point on video, he caught me off guard and didn't stay long.

The last doe is watching me because I goofed up and took her picture with the flash on (oops.), couldn't believe she didn't spook..lol

Still using my bow, planning on sticking to it all season.

Four days before muzzle-loader season opens, deer poachers are getting caught in the act. They are all firing at fake deer set up by Tennessee Wildlife Resource Officers.
The stake-out for deer poachers takes place in nearly every county this time of year. Illegal hunters can be seen on surveillance video firing from the front seat of their vehicle. "The people who shoot at these aren't hunters, they're poachers," says Bill Swan with the Chattanooga Chapter of the Safari Club International. His group raises money to buy the fake deer for the T.W.R.A. The decoys are made of real skin with robotics installed to control the head and tail.
Hunters fall for it time and time again. The poachers are putting other people's lives at risk. "There's always a possibility that there's another hunter in the woods or a home behind where they're shooting or another vehicle coming up the road," cautions T.W.R.A officer Brandon Wear. And they're putting their own lives on the line as well. One dad can be seen steadying a muzzle-loader in the cab of his truck for his teenage son to shoot. After an apparent miss, the dad pulls the gun in, packs it with more gunpower, then tries again. "And the problem is if the parents do it, or the daddy does it," says Swan, "the kids grow up doing it and so you've got to break that mindset."
Most of the poachers are busted. Some try to run from the officers, who are always waiting to hunt down another illegal hunter. "We just want you to do it legally," Wear says. "The regulations are there for a reason, for public safety and the benefit of the wildlife and the hunters. Just do it right, do it the right way, do it the safe way."
Each one of these deer decoys cost about $1,400 and often when they're shot the damage is so bad they have to be recovered at a cost of about $700.
The Chattanooga Safari Club has donated about ten deer over the past five years.
Archery season for deer hunting is currently underway in Tennessee. Muzzleloader hunting opens this Saturday, November 7th. Rifle season opens the Saturday before Thanksgiving and runs through early January.
Violators can be fined, lose their hunting license, and in some cases like those drivers who had kids in the car, can be charged with reckless endangerment of their children.

I never deer hunted growing up, just small game/birds.

This is my only larger caliber rifle, and with newly tweaked cheapo scope, was putting all in 8" plate at 120 yards. I'd say with practice and a little more scope tweaking, maybe can cut down to 4-5" circle.

BUT this was shooting off rest. Not solid bipod, but just little soft rest on top of ammo can, sitting down. Offhand, standing up, even steadying with strap wrapped around arm, I was lucky to hit the plate 1 out of 5.

I know that probably half the deer shots in TN are taken at 50 yards or less, but how do y'all make longer ones? Offhand, or with those long stick bipods, or what?

How do most of your shoot from ground blinds and/or tree stands? Just offhand?

Maybe I've just gotten beau coup unsteady in my advanced years, dunno.
