We NEED rain too. We got some a few days ago, and it was good for us! But we do need more.

Deer?! Legalities aside, I don't compete for food with deer...EVER. Back up way inside the house at a vantage point where you can see your target area through a window or door with a decent .22 rifle. I used a scoped .22 for years to kill them with. At 75 yards with a decent one, you should be able to hit em in the eyeball. Try to stay at eyeball level no matter where you hit them in the head because if you go over that, the skull can be thicker around the horn areas and penetration won't be as good. Try to stick to 40gr solid points if you have em. They go "better". :-) If you're far enough inside the house, nobody will believe that what they heard was a rifle report. :-)

If you'd rather not whack em with the .22, then consider PVC, fishing line, and streamer tape. We take 10 foot sections of 2" PVC and drill holes in it about every foot... lay them on the ground at each fence post.... while they're still on the ground, run the string fishing line through the holes, and attach streamer tape... then stand the PVC up at attach to the last 18" of the fence post with a tie strap. You could attach it any way you want, but we just tie strap it on. Deer come up to it, but won't try to go over it, or through it. :-) Also, it's fairly cheap....and can be significantly less trouble than getting caught shooting them. :-)

thanks for that fence idea hh, ive had a bit of luck with plain ole popcans on a rope fence clangin in the breeze, although I would use some venison too, but alas the 'downrange' is very tricky with bigbore stuff, and the only good 'plinkin' site is baby girls bedroom window, from where the coons got whacked in the cantelopes a few yrs back...

ive been thinkin the downhill shot from the very flat garage roof, but traffic could 'see' me sittin there, the longer shot from the backside chimney/roof ridge might work though, but no scope, so i hafta be 'on' my game with open sights for an eyeball shot...

decisions, decisions...maybe claymores, wouldnt need a grinder or tenderizer...8^}
