Same with deer hunting and stalk/still hunting, the only thing which worked or allowed by law where I was in those times. It was never fun, but served me in good stead in the Army. In later years with my place in wooded rolling hills of mid-state GA, would "hunt" with a friend from his back porch who always remarked it hardly seemed like hunting when we could smell the coffee from the house. When he visited me I would have two chairs set up out back with the wind in our favor at the head of a lane deer always crossed about 30yds out, and had a small table between the chairs with a carafe of hot coffee, and he would say again that it hardly seemed like hunting when you could smell the coffee from the house, and I'd reply, "Indeed," as we sipped our coffee. He often used his Contender .45-70 while I swapped between a .58 musket, 32WCF 1892 and my .45 Colt Blackhawk. It was simply a trip to the grocery store.</p></blockquote><p></p>
