Talk:Deer hunting

message: while it talks of dog's chasing deer, it does not mention a hunting party method where half the party walk through the bush in a straight line and "push" the deer out towards the "blockers" who are sitting waiting for a shot at the deer. this is a common method that works well, I have done it many times

message: "Deer hunting has become essential in North America due to its dense deer population."
Nice NPoV violation there. There is a relatively dense deer population, which may cause some problems, but that doesn't make hunting them "essential" as the same could be said of humans in overpopulated areas, and of many other creatures. It depends on who you ask.
This should probably be fixed, but I'm not sure what it should be changed to.

text: Sport is defined as "an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition." Under that definition, hunting qualifies. Hunters sometimes compete between themselves in an activity that requires physical exertion. The word `Sport` carries no moral connotations, which you seem to think it does. Gladiator fights were sport. Ovibos (talk) 03:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Oppose
The art of Stalking is a highly specific activity, and should not be subsumed into a general article. Stag-Hunting as it is commonly called in the UK, I presume this is what is meant by Deer hunting,  is something done with a pack of Deerhounds or Foxhounds, unarmed except the MDH, on Horseback. Whereas Stalking is an activity carried out on the hill without dogs and with rifles. Brendandh 21:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge Proposal (merge [[Deer stalking]] into [[Deer hunting]])

message: There is an awfully large section dealing with a forbidden practice. This places undue weight on a peripheral topic that should be mentioned in passing with a single sentence. -- Fyslee/talk 20:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  New article: Reindeer hunting in Greenland 

message: This article deals with two different things that use the same name. In some countries, "Deer hunting" is any method used to find and kill deer, while in other countries, "Deer hunting" refers specifically to hunting deer with dogs. The best way to handle this, in my opinion, is to create a disambiguation page, something like this:
Deer hunting my refer to:
*The general practice of finding and killing deer, called Deer Hunting in some countries.
*A method of stalking deer using scent dogs, called Deer Hunting in some countries.
Also, Deer stalking should be merged into this article; it's a type of deer hunting.

thread_title:  Worldwide PoV? 

message: A guardian of this page rightly removed my earlier "archaic" citation of fence month, apparently because it read like a current description rather than a historical reference. I hope the revised wording is satisfactory, since the antiquity of closed seasons is worthy of mention.Fbarw (talk) 20:55, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I have never heard of this road hunting except in redneck jokes.  Is road hunting legal or the article inaccurate or what? 65.167.146.130 (talk) 14:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Any objections to adding a section regarding deer hunting in Germany?  The country has a unique hunting culture and methodology in relation to harvesting deer species. Surv1v4l1st (Talk|Contribs) 22:56, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, go for it. Please remember to reference your edits since "unique hunting culture and methodology", like best, biggest, most popular, etc. would require a definitive reference. As well, this article is about hunting deer, not "harvesting deer species" so that would also have to be clear. Bob98133 (talk) 13:09, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I'll see what I can put together.  By unique, I mean the laws (strict licensing, hunting leases) and that the hunting culture is different than other societies (traditions, songs, and garb).  By harvesting, I mean hunting in the usual sense of the word and not some type of agricultural process. Surv1v4l1st (Talk|Contribs) 16:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Germany? 

message: The picture of TR is not a picture of deer hunting at all. Can't someone come up with some better pictures? BTW I was looking for an article on the modern hunting of wild or feral pigs to learn more about the topic, I'm not a hunter myself, and I see that WP's coverage of the whole topic of hunting is very poor. I'm sure that no one denies the importance of the topic. 99.35.55.170 (talk) 14:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, maybe we should remove it. Trouble is, the other pictures aren't the highest quality. There's a little (very little) of what you're looking for at boar hunting. MikeHobday (talk) 19:16, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Poor pictures

message: This section, by Southpark, which I have removed twice is without any references and reads like a how-to or magazine article, which is not what this article is about. Please do not restore this text to the article. If you feel it belongs, state why on this page. Thanks. Bob98133 (talk) 21:04, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hunting Whitetail Bucks 

message: I don't question the info included in the tools section about this, but how is Hunter Orange a tool that helps in deer hunting? It may be a safety feature to avoid being mistaken for game, but it is not a hunting tool. Perhaps it should be in some other section? Bob98133 (talk) 15:07, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hunter orange 

message: I feel like this article would be greatly improved by a section about the history of deer hunting, including historical hunting techniques (e.g. by indigenous populations).  It's possible that there is an entire article about hunting throughout history, in which case that could be linked in the see also section.  At any rate, some kind of historical background information would be helpful. Augurar (talk) 20:53, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The article does a good job to start off but then stops. It does not seem to provide enough information. I would talk about ways of hunting, places to hunt, why people hunt, and many other things that are involved in the sport of deer hunting.
Articles like http://sportsmansvintagepress.com/read-free/how-to-hunt-deer-table-contents/history-of-deer-hunting/ provide great information regarding the history of deer hunting and many other things that this Wikipedia page should include.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scott1145 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I provided information on United States deer hunting. I went into moderate detail that would help any level of hunter from beginner to expert. I talked about different strategies and different areas to hunt deer. I also talked about how deer act in the rut. Bobjones3512 (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
