>>165874i agree with everything you said about location. i didnt really think of that. i've just been on the water enough and know my area. for a noobie or someone who hasnt spent a lot of time in an area to observe animal patterns, it will take a while to figure out where the best spots are.
> I also find this story both ignorant and disturbingdont let your jimmies be rustled. this was at least 50 years ago. we're also talking about an area that today is still very remote. do you think he gave two shits what the law is now or was back then? he was subsistence hunting. if someone said what he was doing was illegal he would have told them to either feed his family or fuck off.
>If the deer was swimming he could have easily grabbed it by the horns and drowned it, without having to waste a shell or damage the rack.
drowning an animal is far less humane than blasting it in the head with a shotgun. i find it ignorant and disturbing that you prefer to hold the head of an animal underwater until it goes limp, rather than shoot it so it dies instantly, or at least to make sure it dies as quickly as possible.
>or damage the rack.to reiterate, he was subsistence hunting. so little to no fucks given for the rack.
