What is so interesting about deer hunting? I don't get what the big thrill of dressing up in camo, putting on bottled deer urine, climbing into a tree stand and shooting the deer with a high-powered rifle with a scope is all about. It's not real hunting....any real man would hunt a deer with his bare hands and if he could kill it....then he'd be a real hunter. Rifles are for pussies. Even using a knife or spear...that'd be better. At least you'd learn the actual "hunting" skill that would be required if you were ever in need. I mean, after all...if you get lost somewhere how many high powered rifles with 300 yard scopes will be laying around? Be men goddamnit....strangle the deer and then eat it's bleeding heart. Yikes, I always thought deer meat was really dry. I don't mind the jerky though. And yes I have shot a deer before, and I thought it was really lame. I was there with my cousin in our tree stand and it just walked right out and I shot it. It was far, but with the scope I hit it right in the neck. The meat tasted like crap and gutting and skinning it was far too much hassle. If I were to hunt for meat again, it'd be at the grocery store with the rest of the people that have common sense. But to you folks that think you're preserving some "hunting tradition".......good luck to you and your deer (that odds are you've been baiting and luring for months now). Maybe he'll just fall over for you!

Would an 8mm Mauser rifle be adequate for deer hunting this fall? I was invited to go hunting this fall by a friend up where he lives. I was out of hunting for a few years because where I live now isn't so hot for it. Most of my guns are back home before I moved out of the house. All I have on me now is an open-site WWII Mauser and a Ruger .22. It's been very dependable and accurate for plink-shooting, but it may be all I will have to take with me.

What caliber rifle would you buy your wife for deer hunting? She is concerned about to much recoil. I have been told that a 25'06 would be a good caliber as far as recoil is concerned.
