This guy came through this am, He was limping bad and i decided if im gonna do the right thing i should take this guy, He has a big body and i cant find a reason for the limp, He was quartering too me and only went 20-25 yards the last place i seen him was where he laid, 20 yard shot, he went 25 yds and the drag to the edge of the field from where he fell was 60yds, He stinks real good too they are starting to begin rutting, His tarsals are getting black, and all you can smell is buck,

when I got out of the stand yesterday I decided to do a little speed scouting found they abandoned the active scrapes on the oak and found 3 fresh ones about 75 yards away from my stand went a little deeper in on the boarder of neighboring property and found this beauty dead head main frame 8 with double drop tines, seems to be a coyote kill cuz the teeth are not worn out like I'd expect from a deer that would have died of old age Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And you think your bucks are impressive...............

Looks great !! LOl for Jacksonville that is. Last 3 times he had ball, fumble, Jags return for TD, pick 6 and latest was pick resulting in TD. Ray Charles for QB !!!

I have allowed recovery several times, but I have a lot more respect for the person that asks before the season, after 25 years all my neighbors are known and all get along. Like grow said it's not hard to contact them before it happens is better and a courdesy call before doesn't hurt, my neighbor all ways allowed retrieval but 1 time he didn't ,his cousins just entered the woods and he didn't want us going thru woods because we didn't know where they were and they didn't know we were walking/ tracking thru, no radio communication,or cell. He asked where it entered and he said if he found it he'd let us know. The deer Continued across his property and he and we felt it was just a broken leg. They may not be denying you because they are asshole but for a safety concern

10/17/15 I get to the stand in the dark with only one low snort as I came in, great not too bad I think! Nice and quiet. I figure let me get the GoPro out because morning is usually good action. As I open the zipper to my day pack I notice the lights are on so I try to turn it off and it starts beeping and flashing and ARG!!! R U kidding me! This goes on for about a minute before I finally get the dam battery out. Then I hear the tell tail noise of a big deer walking AWAY! Figured I blew the area so I smoke a but only to notice a doe directly below me, she heard me put it out but never looked up. That was my only morning action. 3pm and I'm off stand for a stretch and notice a small buck 65 yards out. I get back in stand and 20 min later a small doe dives into some brush 10 yards out and froze. I figure she was trying to escape the young bucks harassment. Saw another 3 doe at about 120 yards. Doe in the bushes did not leave until I did. 7 deer total 1 4pt 10/24/15 2nd day hunting and it was for half a day. Set up and in stand by 2:30. Had some good action seeing 10 deer total with one 4pt pushing doe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slrgU4-4s5k&feature=em-upload_owner After some more calling I was able to stop what I thought was the largest doe and take her at 22 yards. My first with a bow and I was able to get it on video. I pulled up slightly so the shot was high. Rage did the trick as the arrow broke off and spun around, no pass through. I don't think my death grip on the bow helped my form, lol. She went 40 yards, blood trail was spotty a couple of times. Gave her until dark to wait but you can hear her pile up in the video. 10 deer total 1 4pt and my first bow kill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxfsMDedRok&feature=em-upload_owner

took her sat night @ 6 pm in 30 mph+ gusting winds...17 yrd chip shot...went 70 yrds and piled up in the grapes...1st one in the freezer for the year

A tree does make a sound when it falls in the woods!!

Out for the afternoon. First time since last weekend. Hope I at least see something. . Good luck everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A view out of the blind and one into the blind. We saw four out of here last night, about 100 yrs out at last light. Two started running around like crazy, thinking a lil lady, might be putting out a sent. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

The turning point was Robey getting called for pass interference . It appeared he was going for the ball and didn't touch the receiver but I don't think the play was reviewable . Losing to a 1 abd 5 team sucks !

Is there ever a post from you that is less than 100 words while inserting your competency as a deer hunter!? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Buddy went,out this AM, monster 10 bedded in golden rod 30 yards from where he walked through it, he ( the buck) had a doe with him. After a couple hours of watching them my buddy grunted to see what would happen , well two more bucks popped up and came into him. After which the big one came in but not in range.

Been in the stand since 6....wind is still whipping here....I have a doe bedded 38 yds away....she hasn't moved for over an hour....only deer I have seen

No buck I ever killed or will ever kill, will be entered in any book. My own memory of the hunt and maybe antlers on the wall is all the "recognition" I need.

Thought I'd drop mine here in the meat locker as well. 10-15-15 12yds.

Toe warmers......Oh I know that was being mean Pygmy.. I picked up a package of 10 pairs...used them today and man what a difference they are still stuck to my socks and still working....Tractor Supply for under 7.00

I'll start from the beginning, today my friend is in his climber in the wood 40 yards off the atv trail that runs behind our place, not our land but have permission to be there. 4 atvs come screaming by headed right for our place, we know where they are headed because there is a tree down across the trail been there for months and the only way around is through our 30 acre lawn. He texts and my fiancé intersepts them mid law on the way to her blind. She explains that they are on private property and can't be here especially because we have a 400 yard active shooting range. They tell her they have permission from the land owner a obvious lie as we have had the place 15 years. Fast forward 2 hours I decide to sneak to our new blind at the top of the lawn that over looks a over grown field edge. There are atv tracks leading up to where it was.... No where to be found... I do a little searching and find it 20 yards into the field through a trampled path..... Guess they didn't like that we told them to stay off the property.... I am now going to place home made spike strips across the enterance to our lawn!

. I'm having 2nd thoughts now that I'm calmer but trees will block my path as well maybe a gate with a heavy metal lock

Use the blue myself. It's manageable to loosten if need be.

Well after getting my doe back from my processor, I decided to make all the ground into Jerky. I'm going to zip-lock 1/2 lbs. baggies and bring them to camp for my all day sits. First time I've used the Teriyaki blend. I think I prefer the Original and Hickory but still good. I used the Jerky blaster which you can see on the far right.

Going to be my longest sit of the year so far, got on stand 20 min ago and I'm going to sit till dark, this stand is on the edge between mature pines and a swamp of sorts very moist ground with laurel some pine And lots of small trees, has s stream flowing out the back end but nothing really flows in

Feeding deer, apart from the purposes of DEC monitored research, is illegal.

So, what if i were to really like apples as a snack while im hunting ,so much in fact that i bring them out to my stand by the bucket full , i am also very clumsy and never seem to be able to not spill my bucket of apples all over the woods .

Buy private land, get permission to hunt someone else's or deal with it unfortunately

Yeah bills suck headed out to hunt in half hour

I'm in the city trying to figure out where to find this stupid football game being played in London. So I'd much rather be in your situation. Your odds are still much better than mine to see a deer lol

I swear the wife must be mad at me and putting anti deer mix in my hunting clothes detergent! I am like deer repellent lately! It is perfect wind, temp all conditions fresh sign and scrapes...... Just depressing! Someone shoot one and post pics to keep me motivated! Help a brother out!

My buddy and his wife were in the drive thru at Duncan Donuts the other morning and noticed two women in the car behind them pointing and laughing at their truck. When they got home they realized Al forgot to wash it out after hauling a deer home.

No du k hunting for me this year. The dog has reached a point that although her heart is 120% into it her body is absolutely whipped after a day of hunting. I'm afraid she could get in trouble if she overdoes it. First missed year in 12 with her......times are changing. I did have great day bowhunting though!!

Most my spots are the same deer go by different directions all the time. An old guy once told me deer move with the wind to there nose. I asked then shouldn't all the deer be in California by now!?

We had an amazing morning, birds everywhere. Got my first gadwall and it's a beast! Going on the wall for sure These are the first really plumed teal I've gotten as well

Depends on bone in or boneless, how well trimmed the meat is,how much fat or pork or beef is added to ground. For me on average an adult 1 .5 year old deer boneless meat is about 60 lbs. Dressed weight of around 125 lbs give or take few lbs. Don't care about live weight personally and we weigh or deer so

If I had land and people actully came and asked, I would go help them track. Shit all my friend text me when they hit one and I go track because I find it fun. Trustworthy honest hunters doing the right thing is how I look about it.

Shot this Buck last night. My biggest with a bow so far. I used a Toxic broad head. It left one heck of a hole in him. No tracking job dropped him right there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your moral compass will guide you. Mine said go get the damn deer NOW....................................

I've been deer hunting for 6 years and this is my first deer. I never gave up and finally accomplished a long time goal..I've been hooked but now it's an addiction

My brothers buck, On our property in Macedon, NY 10/16/15 shot @ 5:00pm

Saturday sat at 4:15 he trots out at 4:30....on meat pole at 6

i have done and do not care who knows if you ride an atv on land you do not have permission to be on to damn bad

Got the climber out today. Not yet as fast as I want it to be but I liked it. No back pain to speak of because I can keep shifting position and it has the back rest. Also the bar on the front is extremely compelling.i know it could in theory get in the way of a bow shot but I felt very stable and it was something to help grab onto while moving around, rest the bow on, etc.

Too early for me. Young bucks are dumb, you can get away with a lot that you cannot do to fool a mature deer of either sex Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You should have hunted. Bills are pathetic !!

oh yea, I have 2 that i will not go near until around the 10th of nov and i have 2 that i will not go near until around the 5th of nov.

I have three. Ground blinds I made. One to a bedding area, one on the edge of a small swamp near that bedding area, and one that over looks a small pond, but still near the bedding area. I walked through there once in late August to make sure the blinds were still OK after the winter. Lots tracks. The fall turkey hunting I did on that land was limited to the eastern portions. I stayed a good 200 yards away from those three blinds. Not even sure I will hunt them tomorrow morning. Still only doe and fawns seen on a regular basis. Two good bucks ( seen twice ), but not around in shooting hours. Depending on wind I will most likely either sit behind a big log over looking a two ridge funnel with a creek at the bottom or another funnel that leads to a well used trail going into some nasty brush.

Honestly id spend the money on a better 30-06 or possibly a 300 win.

Never happen, let deer suffer[emoji107] Not

Got it done, morning of 10/18....

outdoorstom, I have the same problem with Schatzie, the chipmunks really distract her. While we were grouse hunting I took one (they are "unprotected" and may be taken at any time) and sent her in to retrieve it. Had to send her in several times before she would bring it back. Once dead, she lost interest in it. Hope to do several times until she lessen her enthusiasm for chipmunks. But the breed does have some terrier in it so I don't think we can fully "train" chipmunk chasing out of them. Conrats! by the way. W\e haven't had any calls yet and she is very, very green. Tried a blood trail with old, defrosted venison blood. Doesn't work as well for her as fresh. Keep on trackin' Luna!!!

My 13-pt. buck taken 10/2 and recovered 10/3...
