[FONT=book antiqua,times new roman,times]According to a Nova episode I remember seeing once, deer attempt to pick a fight with larger deer to win over a doe. If a 30-40 point buck replica were created that was 20 feet tall and had room for about a dozen hunters to sit in, would the "Deer Stand" possibly attract a heck of a lot of macho deer to shot at?
Be sure to paint it hunter orange so you don't have someone mistake you for a real 20 foot tall 30-40 point buck. If constructed modularly, 10 people could possibly carry it into a hunting area and assemble it in under 30 minutes. Check local laws on deer stands.[/FONT]

If the deer are desensitized to the sound of gunshots (say, a couple cases of ammo a day), will they then be attracted to the large 30-40 point buck out of curiosity?
Warning! Firearms, especially shoot guns, get hot enough to burn your hands after about 30 shells, and you will bruise your shoulder for a week if you fire off the whole case in under an hour. Wear hearing protection when shooting. Your ears will thank you.[/FONT]

If a deer call will attract a single deer to your area, would an amplified deer call (say, through a megaphone) attract more deer? [/FONT]

Because antelope and deer don't look up to search for danger (according to a bow hunter magazine), would one of those ultra light airplanes flying very low help someone hunt better? (Some states have outlawed aerial shooting, but not aerial calls or scenting.) [/FONT]

Shop at an offensive store for all your imagined hunting needs. Once you get fully rung up (a few hundred dollars or so) at the register
and before you pay simply exclaim, "You know, I really despise hunting," and walk out. You have cost the store the hassle of restocking and the cashier's time. Nothing like a little legal economic sabotage. For those who like a little less confrontation, fill one or more baskets up and leave them somewhere in the store.[/FONT]

Herne's favorite animal repellant mix: 2 parts discount commercial animal repellant (left in the sun to become rancid), a small handful of human or dog hair, and a ground garlic clove. Place in an empty beer or soda can. Cover with leaves or paint to disguise.[/FONT]

Due to very one-sided laws, it is the responsibility of the land owner to put signs up to keep hunt scum from trespassing. As a public service, why not promote safety and post "No Hunting" signs of your own? Most hardware and feed stores sell the signs by the roll. If you have access to free printing and sheet protectors, make your own.[/FONT]
