Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
I hosted a Traditional Deer Hunt in New York. The rules are simple:
1. No rifles manufactured after 1970 (but a repro or one still currently produced is okay)
2. No magnifying optics
3. Ammunition that was produced in or prior to 1970 (or something similar, ie: no hard plastic tips, gummy tips, etc.)
4. No modern camoflauge
5. No scent killer type sprays
6. No climbing tree stands
7. No use of motorized vehicles to get into hunting areas
8. No cell phones or 2-way radios
9. No modern game hoists or power winches
10. Knives and cutlery manufactured prior to 1970
The hunters used 30WCF, 250-3000 Savage, 300 Savage, 35 Rem, one 12 gauge Browning A-5 with bead only and traditional slugs (actually made in 1968). The "newest" firearm in this group was made in 1966. Two had vintage peep sights and the remaining factory open sights. Most of the hunters were wearing red/black plaid and old high leather boots. A few wore OD Green from WWII or Korean War era. One wore buckskin/sheeps wool clothing.
When asked if they could choose just ONE piece of modern equipment to go with their traditional garb what would it be - the answer surprised me - Boots! Cold and wet feet were the main complaints and the greatest hardship. If you'd like to try a great slice of history - try our Traditional Deer Camp in 2010 by contacting www.tarsporting.com

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Thats awesome man. I love that you did that. I'm all about keeping it simple.
thats pretty much the way I hunt all the time. well, except, my marlin 336 was made after 1970 - but i'm sure its technologically the same as any earlier one.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
My personal deer hunting would have met your criteria with the exception of my camo, cutlery, and date of rifle manufacture. So now I have to ask, why the 1970 cut of date?
Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Good question Nemhed. The guys wanted to hunt with the stuff their fathers and grandfathers used. Based on the age of the group 1970 was the cut off because some of the fathers were just getting into hunting then and had the latest gear up to that year.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
That's pretty neat. I'm not getting the gun thing. Getting old I guess. Could a Winchester Model 94 made in 1985 have been used? If a repro could have been used, why not a Model 94 made after 1970. Not important -- anyway, it's satisfying to hunt "old school" so-to-speak.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Very cool. I'd be hard pressed to pick between my MN 91/30 & my Drilling for that though.
The rest would be pretty straight forward because that's how I hunt anyway.
(The knives thing would be sort of difficult though...)

Great idea! I wouldn't mind if the cut off year was 1870.
Congratulations to all.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
I have the rifle and cutlery covered ( assuming someone could sharpen them for me ) and I'm sure I could do without the cell and GPS and other nonsensical gadgets.
86er,
I don't remember seeing this posted on Leverguns, did I miss it? Not that I could have made it, but I'd like to some day.
To the successful hunters, congratulations. Looks like my kind of hunting.

Re: cold, wet feet
My feet were actually pretty comfortable during the 1970 season. I wore two pairs of socks, hi-top tennis shoes, and a pair of galoshes. Otherwise, you wore the (legally required) orange vest and cap, your usual work clothes, and a hunting knife.
We did like to paddle across an inlet of the lake in a jon boat and launch a surprise amphib attack before daylight on opening day. Good times.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Two hunters out of 7 did not get a deer. They both had shot opportunities but neither applied for the DMP that would have allowed them to take a doe. This hunt sold out when first advertised on my website so it never made it to the forum for offering.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Great!! Except possibly for the footgear, this is how deer hunting should be!! I hunted like that years ago, and remember all too well the cold feet that went with rubber uninsulated boots, or soaking wet leather boots (even when "treated" with the greases of the day. Footgear is way better now--and still can look like the old leather of the past after being worn a while. All in all, you've done a great thing with this--and even if nobody got anything, it still would have been a great thing. You've put fair chase and woodsmanship back into hunting. Thanks much!!!

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
That is just my style of hunting right there. Ok with the exception of the scope on my 336A, and the lined new fangled camo shirt I happen to be wearing in the photo below.
However in my defense I do wear leather Red Wing boots (Logger style) and no scent control anything. IMHO being able to read wind and getting upwind of your quarry is a valuable field craft that many folks don't think about, use , or plain out lost. When I was a teenager I'll never forget squirrel hunting after school. I was sitting at the base of a huge oak waiting on the bushy tails in a lined shirt, old jeans, and some Carolina boots. I heard some leaves rustle to my left when I looked in that direction I almost messed myself There was a doe only about 10yd away looking right through me. That is when the whole wind concept really hit me. She went about eating and looking at me for about 2 min before deciding to leave, or she finally caught wind of me.
It just makes one a much better hunter when they think about wind direction in relation to their setup. I don't have access to any vintage 1970 ammo but I think Federal Powershoks are in the same class as vintage Rem and Win bullets. You will never catch me hunting from any kind of elevated stand period and for that matter a manufactured blind either. I don't own a time period knife so I'm out there as well. The biggest thing though is I never take a cell phone hunting. When I'm hunting I don't need no one calling or want to hear from anyone. If they can't leave a message then it can't be that important I hope the blaze orange don't count against me either. I grew up in the Southern Tier region of NY and would not hunt with out during deer season for any reason. Way to many hunting accidents happen down there due to people not paying attention and properly identifying their target before shooting

Well, since the last time I deer hunted was before I went into the Army in '67, I can say that I've never hunted any other way!

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Marlin 336 30-30, Buck 110 folder, red Carhart's long sleeve shirt, OD BDU pants. No blaze orange. Hate that stuff.
Modern Danner boots though. No compromise there. You can keep your old leather boots.
Also, my eyesight dictates a scope so the Marlin wears an old Redfield 4x.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Yup, purty cool hunt!
Sounds like the way I have hunted since 1968 till now though. The only difference is other than the old 25-35 I used to use, I more often than not now use a Marlin Cowboy in .44 or 38-55.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
A few comments:
Some folks either got the wrong idea or didn't read thoroughly. The ammo doesn't have to be old, just a design that was available during the era you are emulating. So new Remington Core Lokt, Winchester Power Points or Federal Hi- Power would work. Scopes are Okay as long as they are vintage to the same era (personally I would say any manufacturer with a current design like the old timers is okay - for instance a new Redfield 4X). Boots can be new, but no Thermofil insulation or cordura, gore-tex and other modern materials. I suggest the parameters for the hunt but each individual group finalizes their own rules. It isn't a contest just some friendly restrictions. Anything is possible!

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
This sounds great! Do you have any idea of future locations yet, possibly closer to the Mid-Atlantic region in an area where rifles are allowed? My teenage son and I are very interested in a future hunt of this type. My M94 30-30 and my Win M70 with the current scope removed or changed hopefully will satify the rules. The cutlery, clothing, and footwear will take more work to comply with the rules. BTW, our congratulations to this year's participants.
Winchester M94 30-30 (1980)
Winchester M70 Westerner 30-06 (1982)
Winchester M1 Garand (1942)
Too many others to list - hope to add more levers soon.

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Yes, brings back memories of my Grampa. Wisconsin has a 9 day Gun Deer season, he had 3 sets of the 1 piece Long underwear that were wool. Have not seen them since. He never got cold at least thats what he always said. He changed them every 3 days, and I think that was the only time he took the darn things off except maybe for the outhouse walks!Terry Murbach wrote:AND LONG JOHNS ONLY.
Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Sounds like a regular hunting season to me. Except I have to wear orange by law. Otherwise I use layers and wool . The boots are only a big thing if I'm sitting for a long time. We also have a century gun hunt during doe only season. I have a Krag and Marlin that qualifies for the 100 year old milestone.
It sounds like a great hunt !

Re: Traditional Leverguns Deer Hunt (Results)
Fsck. 1970. This makes me feel so old.
OK, I was like 3 in 1970. But I have very few guns made after 1970.
I'd guess about 3/4 or more of my guns were made a decade or more before 1970.
1950 is history. 1970 is just the other day.

Great! So, everyone had to actually....like....hunt.
No small houses like are getting popular in northern PA with heat, 1/4 keg on tap, and the game on TV? No Super-Duper-Shorter-Snorter cartridges and 18x scopes?
Cool.
Sounds fun and satisfying.
