How are the deer in Alberta you ask.... Ballsy I tells ya, BALLSY!

[Dosing]

Anywayyyyy, after hanging my targets at an undisclosed range, I returned to the firing line, picked up my rifle and realised there were visitors on the fricken range!

I will spare you the two videos I took of me telling them to get the F off the rifle range, and trying to shoo them away, because well, its embarrassing when 4 deer just look at you, collectively go 'f you', and ignore you. Anyway after literally getting about 50ft from them I got frustrated, read them the riot act, you know... disperse to your place of residence, etc, and fired a shot off. I thought they would bolt, ya right. They didn't even flinch. After a 'few' rounds, I finally had to pack it when they began to crowd my firing line.
Honestly, if I drank or did meth this would have made sense, but nope, they outlasted me, until after almost an hour I had to give up and leave.

Last year we were shooting my 50 BMG and something behind us caught my eye. It was a black bear who was wandering down the road behind the rifle shack, and hearing the commotion of the 50 cal, decided to peek his head in the door and take a look.

Nothing new for that range, samething in Barrhead, the gunfire does not bother them at all. Saw a huge Mule buck one day at that range. They have a good pistol set up.

Sometimes even Mr.Grizz shows up at our range.lol

Well, they must know the date.
Day hunting opens, you will never see them.

On my phone it looks like there is a rabbit on your range too. At least in the first picture.

 

[crumper]

That is the 4th deer bedded down with his head up. But with phone it looks like a rabbit.

If you can't shoot them, train them change your targets

You know what we call deer like that in my neck of the woods?

Early Venison.

 

[buji88]

Rofl that is awesome! I had a similar thing happen this year in our field, the deer just don't seem to give a F***. Until it's hunting season, havent seen a damn thing yet.

 

[vagrantviking]

Seen that a few times.
Once there must have been 30 or so shooters on the line and a few deer just wandered into the range. Must know how to read the game regulations and calendar.

 

[ghostguy6]

Does it count as hunting if a deer catches a ricochet in the ribs?

 

[OkayShooter]

Lining up for a Texas heart shot?

 

[the spank]

Gotta love mulies!

I only done that one time on a fat buck just outside the back door of me old place. Put the blue paint ball From me Tippman right dead center of his winkie at a range of 8 ft. Me wife & I ended up rolling in laughter on that one as the bugger pulled a Space X style launch from the scene.

 

[SuperCub]

PETA would be very happy to see how you re-purposed your range to a wild life feeding and wellness center.

OMG! Alberta has snow already! Winter is coming to Ontario. Way too early i might add!
