Got a problem with drinking beer in the deer blinds during deer season. Finding beer cans in stands that are open to all members. No one admits to it. I find this very a serious safety problem, other hunters travel to and from other stands in front of their line of fire. Does anyone else have this problem, if so how do you handle it? I drink myself, so it's not an anti alcohol deal--just safety. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

I would suggest not crossing in front of a-holes drinking beer in the stand........

Don't have a choice, no way to get to your area without traveling--either walking or ATV. Most are pipeline.

Have each one sign on a log what stands they hunt in and when. If it isn't in the group "rules", you may want to get everyone together and tale a vote. You could have trespassers, that may be an excuse to push the rule.

I'm not a drinker per se, never had a problem with it with the guys I hunted with, but have seen a few that are not mature enough to see the difference from enjoyment and safety for everyone involved.

We had that problem once. Turned out it was the landowner and his buddies hunting out of our stands when we weren't there.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Had the issue once. Didn't take a lot of research to figure which cooler held the offenders beer brand. They weren't allowd to re-up for the following season. Had no problem telling them why. It was clearly stated in the contract they had signed.

Put in the lease contact that if you drink before sundown you are prohibited from hunting that afternoon no exceptions. Break this rule and you have ended your hunting season no exceptions.

It's already stated in contract about drinking while hunting, caught and you're gone for good right then. Don't think it has to come to absolutely no drinking during the day. Personally, I don't drink anything until after the evening hunt. If I find someone has had too much to drink, they stay in camp. 1,2,4 or 6 beers, what does it matter. Alcohol and a loaded gun just won't cut it. I have no problem removing anyone for this violation and they know it.

Are you the property owner? I would suspect most problems probably arise when mr. deer camp cop starts telling other grown men what to do like they are children.

Some have to be treated that way, he did say it was a "1 strike your out" in the contract.

Yes children are taught rules and if they break them there are consequences. Really not complicated.

I've enjoyed a beer or two in deer stands for over 40 years and never had a problem. So have my fellow hunters on the lease.
I really don't see getting excited over it unless some of your hunters drink too much and do stupid things. Then, they need to go.

What happens if someone gets shot at or God forbid even shot? I'm not going to have to live with that. It if upsets someone so much that " mr.deer camp cop" won't let them drink while hunting, let them hunt your site. Personally, I'm not willing to take that chance with anyone's life.

Your not, the guy drinking is... As well as they guy walking through others hunting areas while they are on stand. Sounds unsafe and unproductive at the least. A poor hunting set up. Lots of accidental shootings occur that didn't involve alcohol

Some one has a problem that has to drink in a deer stand, after the hunt at camp with guns put away is fine.

The only safe way is that when you start drinking, your hunting day is over. No exceptions.

I think there is a difference between having "a beer" and "several beers" on the stand, though I usually don't

Remind me not to invite you on our lease - the man is concerned about people's safety and you are hammering him? Really?

So they need to go after they do something stupid drinking too much and hunting with a lethal weapon? What if the stupid thing they do is shoot you or one of your other hunters?
