Deer vs. Howitzer

How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a 12 pound Mountain Howitzer Cannon

[Bram]

Holy deer. And I do mean that literally.

First, let me start by saying that I'm pretty sure that it may not be entirely legal to use a Mountain Howitzer Cannon for deer hunting

Gee, ya think?

Mark the probable down-range DANGER area with "Danger-Tape", the kind of tape that says "Police Line DO-NOT-CROSS"  is a good choice, or, "DANGER --- BLASTING AREA" is another good one.

OMG LOL!. Only in America.

If they comment about the "smell of rotten eggs" ( the sulfur form the 1/2 pound of black powder you just shot )  tell them you've been eating a lot hard boiled eggs in your lunch.

This calls for a Shakespeare quote: 'Something smells rotten in the state of Wisconsin.' Well, almost a Shakespeare quote, anyway. Boy, Wisconsin must have a lot of first-cousin marriages if this guy actually expects people to fall for that.

Howitzer season is right after bow season but before rifle season in Wisconsin.

As I have the last house on the trail to the forest, I see a few late night cars with trailers (some with antlers sticking out). I will try to look out for howitzers though. I suspect that is less efficient in dense pine forest though. It is also marginally less effective than your hunting rifle when a bear decides to attack you (2/2 no way!).

The local method of killing deer is driving into them. Those suckers just jump out onto the road in the middle of the night and if I had a SUV with bull bars I'd have a freezer full of venison for life. As it is I try to avoid them.

A 3" (12-pdr cannons have a bore of 76mm) cannon generally goes in the realm of MILES.  How would you even see the damn thing to shoot it?

That's what GPS systems, tracking devices, and targeting computers are for.
