So, you are not the sporting type, but would like a trophy. No rifle with a scope? Don’t want to be dressed in camouflage and sit on a board up in a tree holding a loaded weapon? Not up to creeping through the woods with a bow and arrow to get your prey? No worry. Here is a much more fun way to hunt deer.
In the usual form of hunting, you take the trouble to go out and find your quarry. Hey, let the game find you. No need to get up before dawn, wait for sunrise, and stumble over hill and dale. My method is done at night and in the comfort of the family vehicle.
The first thing to note when hunting deer with your car is that you should not worry about areas where signs say “deer crossing.” They don’t show up there. Next, no need to keep a sharp eye out. The deer find you rather than the other way around. If you see deer along the side of the road, they are just testing you. It’s the ones you don’t see that you can bag.
The average deer hunter talks about how many points the buck he shot had. You can talk about the bucks the insurance company paid to repair your car and how many points your premium will go up next year. There’s doe and dough. Instead of having to find a game agent to tag your deer, all you have to do is use a cell phone and call the police who will nicely clean up after you and write up a report you can put in your scrap book.
So, cruise those dark stretches of rural highways and byways. Who knows what surprises await you? You, too, can have stories to tell your children about how you hunted deer.
