First time deer hunting
- Thread starter crippen
- Start date
Going tomorrow and working Monday. Hopefully not everyone else is doing the same.
Have an opportunity tomorrow to hunt a baited powerline, from a blind, with a friend. Pretty much a sure thing I’m told. I want meat but I’m thinking it might be like fishing on of those pay, trout ponds, which I don’t enjoy. I want meat and this could be my last chance to get some. But this will be my last chance this season to spend a full day in the woods alone. First world problems. Life is good when this is the hardest decision I’ve had to make this week.

Go. If it feels wrong dont pull the trigger. No such thing as a sure thing in hunting.
From someone that has hunted a long time... sure things on fair chase hunts are not necessarily a sure thing. I understand your internal debate regarding hunting over bait, but as I'm sure you're aware... it's legal in GA. Relax, enjoy the hunt, and hopefully a deer decides to cooperate.

Your doubts prove, even as a new hunter, you get it. Refreshing.Have an opportunity tomorrow to hunt a baited powerline, from a blind, with a friend. Pretty much a sure thing I’m told.

Hunting is largely a pursuit of personal ethics. Speaking from experience with both, I've never regretted NOT shooting a deer over bait.
Well my buddy just text and he just found out his wife has plans and he has the kids. Bait hunt is off the table. WMA in the AM
This guys been a friend of mine for years but we have never talked hunting because, well I didn’t hunt. I just found out his brother owns a deer processing company down in Montecello somewhere. Bait hunting has made this his best year.
