It's late.... would've posted earlier but I had to hurry up and get her in the deer fridge. Yearling doe. I thought it was a fawn but nope. Just a runt. Rage heads still work fine. Big cut when they go in at an angle. That was the exit. Had to really make sure it wasn't a button buck. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

I guess I forgot to tell the does they are fair game tonight. Heart shot!

Myself, Cooper @Lawdwazand Tacks had a fun morning smacking some Geese

Well that was an exciting hunt. I saw this buck in a cut cornfield about 250 yards away. I made a move, guessed right, got set up and ended up passing on a quartering-to shot through some brush. He made it to this field and was headed away. I turned him around with some calling, he came back towards me, but stayed just out of range and then slowly worked away from me. He’s not the biggest one around but now I have a bit of a grudge. Definitely had my blood pumping. Edit: This was the third buck I saw on it's feet between 7 and 8AM... apparently no one told them they shouldn't be moving in warm weather.

Views from my south tower on my place in NZ…nice 8 has been showing up in the plots…my 7 mag is begging to bark.

After cutting a bunch of larch up a couple of months ago i was asked by the eldest at camp to make his wife some planter boxes. Was so nice today i figured id knock them out. 3x8 x 12in with poles for her hanging tomatoes. All just rough cut larch lumber.

I switched to video three years ago and instantly realized how many deer I was missing. It can be a long process reviewing them, but I have caught so many great bucks (and a bear) in the last second or two of a 15 second video triggered by a doe or small buck. Here is a great example of what you can miss with still shots (00:19), I killed that buck three weeks later in that exact spot.

I went out for a few hrs this morning. I sat from 530-930 then got down and stalked into what I thought was the big bucks bedroom to hope for a chance at him. This was my last chance since I'm having surgery tomorrow. I got to with in 9 yards of this smaller 8pt and had a 15 minutes stare down he couldn't figure out what I was and took off with a second buck who's rack I couldn't get a great look at.

My corn is still standing. Around one side the adjacent road has 14 new scrapes on it. Not getting much on my trail cameras. Nice rub from today.

This year i put up a trail cam on video right across from two cams i have on regular pics. WOW what a difference. The cams on pics only are missing so much. The difference is unbelieveable. In my 4 best buck stands i am going to all video for next year and use the cams that just take pics in some fringe areas and replace them as they go. On several of the cams i would get one blurry pic of a buck strutting by quickly the ones on cam set for 3 seconds of video show the true tale and provide so much more info. Glad i tried this experiment.

I figured one of these would show up some day https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/141112-unicorn-deer-slovenia-antlers-science-animals?fbclid=IwAR2_y1-mf4oZLY25M6pGoOzjxqIHSzef8vfr0Osgev_mAWIocraikb5eZOw

A "crisp" 71 degree afternoon sit in 3S management property. Somebody didn't like that I cleared a little scrape and pissed on a pretty active run - it's all tore it up right now and I haven't been here in weeks. No cameras allowed so I've sent the prints to Biz for age and rack analysis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

whomever is using the blackstone still is also still playing wordle.

Used about 30 silhouettes and a dozen full bodies and 1/2 dozen sleeper shells. It was a Lay up hunt birds were hitting this field pretty hard so that means it was a ton of fun .

What a rio! Ill get some stills of Cooper working, he did fantastic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Nice John ! Sometimes for me it’s the hunt that decides if I shoot not the antlers .

That is f’ing awesome.

I got the vaccine (also got covid but that's neither here nor there) the shot doesnt scare me but mandates do. This is not the polio vaccine and covid aint polio. I hate the vilification of those that chose not to get it. It doesn't prevent covid or stop the spread Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Car is all packed for the morning hunt. Going to sit from dark until 2:00 unless I can get something before that. Going to focus on a ridge system from last year for the next couple days. The day I killed my buck last year he was one of 3 bucks on that ridge that I saw. The ridge wraps almost like a horseshoe around a thick swamp with a bunch of bedding in it. The bucks use the ridge to check for trails going in and out.

I made up some venison sloppy joes and straight cut French fries! Sloppy Joe was a staple at my house as a kid.

I had enough of the from the ground excitement. We don't have a stand on the travel route he took... but Ill be up there tonight in my climber.

Low photo count on cells yesterday. That said you still have to try. Wish work wasn’t in the way as this would likely have been the stand spot - right on a water source. Maybe today.

Just got out of work I have 3 scheduled days to work from now until 11/30. The weather drop is looking great and have the wind I was hoping to have. I’ll be out the next 3 mornings until 2 in the afternoon if conditions allow.

Crazy story. Hunted with all kinds of guides, including a couple that regular follow large wounded dangerous game; and their biggest apprehension from guiding is the hunter behind them with a loaded weapon. Enjoy the posts, lot to be learned from them. Stay safe.

I will not comply!

Oh stop ,Just go hunt.

I have so many more questions at the end of this tale then the beginning!!!! Glad he's ok Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Kmartinson is right. There are some finger lakes tribs that are pretty hard to beat. Beautiful, and outstanding fishing.

Crushfest today, and not a boat around. Had to pull my third rod in because it was too much chaos for just me. Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

That it’s easier to bring a drag queen into school than a Christmas tree illustrates the depths of our nation’s moral degeneracy.

I believe there is no charge BUT there should be a mandatory "tip" to cover their expenses and time. Gas, dog food, headlights, flagging tape, cold High Life, first aid for the pups...that adds up. I would say minimum $50 just for a deer search to show up-but I bet he/they would try to refuse it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well ,8 year olds all across the country have figured it out

What an awesome treat coming home from a quick post-school hunt: The boys opted for the max and cheese- I crushed 1/2(for now!) of the venison squash Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ask 3 people in NY govt anything and get 5 different answers, totally get your point.

Up in the climber. Rain stopped… let’s see who wanders by!

First sit of year , have my compound feels good. Weather is crazy 70 cloudy then rain then sun n repeat. I shot a nice 8 pt with my xbow here in 2020 . It was 73 that day. So right place right time. My son in stand overlooking a large pasture. So good luck to all out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We were supposed to do a goose/duck weekend this past weekend. But, the guys in my group bailed out due to the one-bird limit. I went up and had a good bow hunting weekend with a phenomenal wood duck shoot Monday morning before heading home.

John sounds like an awesome hunt, and "from the ground" excitement! Good for you for passing on that shot, he will be back with his big brother!

not going to stuff the freezer but she'll be delicious and the farmer wants the deer gone. Max helical on all my arrows for years now. They don't drop off enough trajectory wise at distance to cause concern. I even shot that same max helical and won in a 3D league/championship that was unmarked out to 80+ yards and they did fine. They spin hard and fly like they're guided missiles.

Not hard to get away from people on the Delaware.. just need to know where to fish and when. Will drift boats pass… sure but I am constantly alone on the river Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
