These 'stands' gonna have doors and windows with curtains?

I have never heard of hunting bucks in velvet before, and in southern Cal it's hot right now and will be a long time ahead.

In NH we wait till in November so it's cold... No velvet bucks then either.... How strange.....

It's because of the multiple climates here in California. Last time I checked I don't remember any below sea level deserts or mountain ranges over 10,000 feet in NH.

Also you are hunting Whitetail. In California we hunt six different sub species of deer from Rocky Mountain and Desert Mulies to California and Columbian Blacktail. Not to mention all the cross breeds. From what I understand there have even been sighting of Whitetail/Mule deer cross breeds in the extreme NorthEast portion of the state.

Our deer here are no bigger than a German Shepard with long legs.

I do have two tags this year.

LOL, you need to go a little higher. or wait until the end of the season and hope a couple of storms drive the big boys off the Sierra Crest.

Also one of the biggest deer 250lbs I have ever seen taken in D5 came out of a cabbage patch and that place is like a jungle. It was opening weekend and the general season and 85 degrees.

For whatever reason there are these huge mulies within City limits but we can't hunt them. I've seen 2 now (hit by cars) that matched the mulies we got in CO. Once I climb up out East they start shrinking fast. The last Deer I shot I boned out to less than 30 lbs of meat.

Nope NH has no deserts, but Maine has one. NH has no place below sea level either, and our little mountains are only 6,288ft at best. But our deer are bigger than a dog.

So far I am unaware of any other deer here than white tails. Down in mass there is some asian deer that were once considered lawn ornaments, but they tend to stay down there on the beaches. They have been there since the late 1800's so I guess can't inter breed...... Not really sure why not.

The comment on seeing 3 deer in someone door yard was what caused my wise crack. I know of a few deer that have been taken from the 'Throne Stand', but not mine

Tin Knocker walks around his neighborhood after work and shoots them between people houses. Crazy whitetails. Bout time for him to show up and start bragging about it.
