Deer Hunting at my place is almost a thing of the past --- My neighbor about 800 yards has people over and shoots 80 to 100 rounds 3 or 4 times a week if it aint raining they are shooting 5 to 6 different guns. my food plot is 350 yards from the house ---- they start this non-since two months before season opens and the deer are nocturnal before archery starts My trail cameras show deer move between 11 and 2 am ---- I have not got but one deer here in the past 5 years. --- being retired and could hunt any time it is a pain in the arss--- Target practice starts 2 hours before dark........ i dont think one shot could possably hurt - 11 Years ago mom had part of the land clear cut. when squirrel season opened l was walking across it going to hunt the creek bottom --- I got shot at four times- the sound of a bullet missing your head is something not forgotten.. the last two shots came as I was Crawling out Last year one deer was shot and others joined in the chase,, they shot at the wounded deer 38 times and crossed five other Peoples property without permission. I dont know if they brought it home or ran out of bullets.... with all the practice they should be able to hit a golf ball at 500 yards, but that aint happening or I would be dead. Now to answer the question about Pecans , it is a tossup if Squirrels or deer like them the most. the Deer crack them spitting out most of the hulls, and id it comes from the inside of the nut they are not spitting it out.....with 2, 5 gal buckets fron last year, a lot of them were going badand starting to become Rancid but they do taste better than an Accorn. The Squirrel will haul them off for later but the deer want them now
