Wild hog is the best. Waste food never, to me it is a sin.no "shooting house", no saddle, no drive, no dogs ( for deer), no feeder or bait, nor vehicle or copter. no blind for deer/turkeys either. had a guy in Ridgefields ask me to shoot some of the deer eating his garden once. said i could sit in a folding chair inside of his garage, or "hide" behind the basketball backboard on its roof...i'd love to hammer hogs from a copter, but i'd want to harvest the meat too. meat is too good to let rot; pretty sure wasting food is a sin.
How about out of a barn ? I've sat in one many of times during rain or windy days.
Hunted out of a "cave" once to. It was a huge rock formation. I just walked in about 15 feet and sat down and kicked back. Was able to see a lot of land the way it laid. Unfortunately no deer that day.

Yea, forgot about the barn. Sat in a loft once.
That's how we found out my boy was allergic to hay. Breaking daylight and had several doe in front of us. He sneezed like 10 times in a row and started getting hives on his hands where he had touched it. He did shoot a doe because they was just confused running around the field lol. Then we got down.

Let's see, killed deer: from the ground without any brush or covering around me. Still hunting. From a barn. From old stand made of 2x4s nailed in a tree. From a climbing stand. From a strap on stand. From a ladder stand. From a condo. When I was kid still living at home, from my bedroom window.
Never killed a deer over bait, but did hunt over it for a research project. Never hunted with dogs.

from a condo. Had to change the subject from th HB post. I got a farm 2 yrs ago and have busted my ass to make it a deer haven. It's working compared to where I started. I wanted to point out with this post there are a lot of different types of hunting. Out west it's totally different than here. Different states you do or can do different ways to hunt. But people being closed minded or there way or the highway is beyond me. I love the term HUNT YOUR HUNT. I don't care what anyone else does but for me I spend alot of money and time keeping the deer feed with healthy food 3/4 of the year. Would just like to do it year round. Cant during hunting season. Ok I'll stop.

I've done most of those.
When I was young, I used to creep through swamps in the middle of the day, jump shooting deer with buckshot. I've also crept through corn fields and shot deer. Those were both a lot of fun.
Later on, the rows of corn were planted too close together to be able to effectively hunt the corn.
I enjoyed hunting deer with dogs. Very similar to rabbit hunting.

All the time from my back Porch. I've taken a bow shot out my office window. I missed because i was worried I'd shoot the facing.... Never again...with a bow...Back porch?
Kitchen window?
Roof top?
Ok another was from the lower stall room in the barn.... I shot a 6 point with a 30-06..... I couldn't hear NOTHING for about 3 minutes....

yes to most. No helo, No vehicle. Never shot one off an ATV either.
deer drives and deer drives with dogs were always a hoot.
I will add Ive killed deer out of a boat while it was floating. Deer are way more comfortable in and around water than the large majority of deer hunters will ever be. cheers!
