Way off topic: looking for a place to hunt with large population of deer!! Ok, so I know this sounds strange for this site but Me and DH are looking for a place to hunt possibly out of state. We are both hunters. So if you or your husbands may know a great place to go with a good population of deer let me know. Alot of the good outfitters cost around $3,000 a piece for 5 days and most of them you have to get your name drawn to be able to hunt, meaning I could get drawn but DH might not so only I could hunt and we really want to go together. We don't have too many options for hunting where we are. I know its strange for a woman to be hunting :rolleyes: and some may think i'm crazy lol but the women that do hunt will understand why I do it. Anyways if anybody has any suggestions please let me know!! :D |
I guess nobody does lol. I figured this would be a bad place to ask lol. |
Down in Kentucky around Cave run lake is a great place to hunt. Lots of deer. We have lots on our farm but the DH wont let anyone hunt them. WE live close to the lake. Journeys End is a place you can stay at. or one called Muskie Lodge. My hubby is a big hunter. He hunts Deer, Turkey, grouse, quail, rabbit etc. Needless to say we eat lots of wild meat. If you want anymore info let me know. |
Michigan has tons of deer. I am not a hunter, so I don't know where to tell you to go, but there isn't a lottery to be able to hunt..... |
Come to Alabama! Geez, I feel like I'm hunting them with my car everytime I leave my house! (Or more like they are hunting me! :eek:) Seriously though, this state has the highest deer population in the nation. All of the WMAs here are public access here w/ a permit (which is free). They've opened them all up to hunters for the time being to try to help bring down the population some. |

I feel the SAME way! |
2 Attachment(s) Come out west to Idaho! We have TONS of deer here- big ol mulies, plus it is GORGEOUS here!! Here's some pics, the first picture was in the early summer coming off a hard winter, and the next was a bit later. There were four other deer and two other elk in the same meadow- it was so pretty!! |
Don't come to Mississippi... we don't have deer here. :biggrin::biggrin: |
No deer here, I wouldn't tell you if there were. If only it could be fair and say....the deer and you both got to have a gun! Sorry, for the sarcasm, I'm a lover of all animals. I just can't picture putting a bullet in one. |
Do you feel like coming to Canada? :rolleyes: I know it's pretty far but we get tons of American hunters up here in Saskatchewan all the time. We have a cabin up at the lake near my parents' house and I know a lot of people in our area rent out their cabins to people who come up from the states to hunt. There are tons of deer, moose, elk, you name it ;) My dad and brother are avid hunters, and so are all of my uncles, and yes, even my female cousins and some aunts. I couldn't do it myself, but I can't say it's not yummy! |
MICHIGAN!! you can't pass 5 miles of highway without seeing a dead deer.. they are EVERYWHERE! |
We have an abundance of deer in Northern Va. |
GERMANY is the place ..... he he he ... my Hubby is a Hunter too ..... he has a German Hunting license ..... He used to go hunting in MO ..... Ft. Leaonard Wood Area ..... by St. Roberts |

We seem to have a good amount of deer here in NY my bf has been a hunter all of his life and his dad used to live in Michigan which there are TONS there next month im sure we will be at Bass Pro and Gander MTN. getting him more stuff! :p I dont think deer hunting is weird or offending for women my bf's stepmother used to do this.. I would rather catch fish!:p |
thanks for all the tips on places we can go!! We love to hunt. I am an animal lover like alot of you but the thing is that there is so many deer that people die in car accidents because they hit a deer. I'd much rather kill on with my bow and feed people, than hit one with my car and it do no good. The population needs to be controlled otherwise we could become the minority lol and we dont want that lol. Anyways I hope that made some sense to some people. |

I am sure there is a hunting forum out there some place. I feel this thread was just a pot stirring one. |
Wow...I'd have never thought such a simple question would cause such a debate. :( I don't think the OP meant to start drama by asking a question. Tons of people hunt as a pastime...it's pretty common, depending on where you live. I personally find no interest in it and could never do it myself (among other things...all day, freezing in a tree stand, smelling like doe pee...um, no thanks :p) But if someone else wants to bore themselves and take a shot at it (pun intended) be my guest. |
We have plenty of deer here, I often see them in my neighbor's yards they are so gorgeous - but don't come here to hunt them :-p. I love seeing them and just drive extra carefully ;). |
We have lots of deer up here in NY! |

The OP didn't ask for opinions against hunting. I'm an animal lover - I adore deer - but she didn't ask for opinions, she wanted places to hunt. She said she eats the deer meat - it's not like she's wasting it. as long as it's being used and not just wasted, I don't have a problem with it. I don't believe at all that the OP was trying to stir the pot, I believe that she's just trying to practice her hobby. There's no reason for her to go to another forum to ask a simple question - we have an off topic forum for a reason. The title specifically mentioned that it was a thread about hunting, if you didn't agree with it you shouldn't have opened it in the first place. JMO. OP, I know that there's a large deer population in Upstate NY, and also I'm pretty sure there's a large one in PA. |
Come on down to South Texas. I'm sure you can find a bow lease to get on or just a hunt for a wekend, bow seson starts soon. Be prepared to spend some money if you are strictly a trophy hunter, as you should, but if you are interested in helping a rancher with game management on their property I'm sure you could harvest a doe or a spike for little cost. And good for you doing it the hard way with a bow! Don't worry, you can be an animal lover and a conservationist at the same time! I know I am! There is NOTHING worng with cull hunting and proper harvesting of wild animals, proper game management is key to some species survival! |
This may help some more My boyfriend is an avid bow hunter, go to TexasBowhunter.com it is a forum and the poeple on there are really great. I have never been on there but have heard it is a good place to learn. I grew up hunting in Alaska and don't do much here anymore, I harvest a doe for Hunters for the hungry once a year but I use a 7mag. We feed a lot of homeless people doing what we do with venison and fish and help keep the deer population under control. |
Northern Indiana has alot of deer. Too many really they run out on our interstates and get hit |
