Son shot a 7 pt at 15 yards at 9:20. Came in with a 6. He saw quite a few deer this am. Buck went 75 yards lung shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Live from my trail cam... this has been going on for 15 mins lol

Final count 18 deer ( ok six were far off ) , hand full of turkey ,one Fox . Not bad for wearing street clothes under my camo , no scent loc , sprays ,special soaps , or magic beans .

Confirmed this is the one that I passed up at 15 yards this morning. Can't miss the spot below his eye. I've been getting pics of him pretty regularly, but wasn't sure if I was going to give him a pass.

Kudos to Culver. He just let Ms Piebald walk at 7yds and full draw. Would have been a neat first deer with the curve. But he let her walk with hopes the new hunter I am bringing out may shoot her. She is becoming a mascot.

Very grateful this afternoon. Food for my family, and antlers for the story. Hey, Biz: #fromtheground (if that’s still a thing...) I'm all thumbs when using Tapatalk

Does to me, I enjoy hunting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wish i coulda saw the officers face when that idiot said he thought it was a squirel. Instant tazer to the nuts for that guy.

10/4/19 I was called by a hunter that shot a doe this morning and requested our assistance. The doe had dropped at the shot, got up, ran a short distance, dropped again, then got up and ran into a thicket. He and his son tracked sporadic blood for about 250 yards before losing the trail. They recovered the arrow along the way and it showed only half of it had penetrated. Luna and I arrived 5 hours after the shot and got to work. Luna quickly took us to the hunters point of loss and continued on. We cut through a failed cornfield that was only a foot tall, then entered a thicket and Luna went hot. We never saw the doe, but did find blood. We followed, hoping to get a look at her condition to determine our next course of action. Luna led us through a field and into the woods, where we found a drop of blood. This was at the 800 yard mark and I decided at that point to back out and return in 2 hours. The hunter had been positive on the phone that the shot hadn’t been high, but the evidence was showing otherwise. To be continued...... At 4:00 we went back in and I had Luna run the entire track. I told the hunter if we jump the deer and it’s running strong, I’m pulling the plug. We continued past the spot where we stopped earlier, and soon started seeing steadier blood. We continued and before long I spotted the bedded deer which jumped up and struggled to run away. I called the hunter up and had him finish her with his bow. Total track was 1,355 yards. We were fortunate to catch up with her.....it was indeed a high back hit.

First sit of the yr, 4 came thru on the new lane way, exactly like I expect them to!! Would have been a chip shot

Some personal space please

Sitting observation stand and I fail to observe buck that walks in to 20yds behind me. Lol

That’s what you want to see right off the hidden food plot.... a real fresh scrape.... had to been last night

# 11 and 12 not a bad hour . 12 was wide but I passed .

Now I wish I was Hunting. The first pic has 6 bucks in it. The one down by the tower stand is my target buck. The one I nicked Last year.

Hey look... I'm a tree! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Saw nothing this morn. Def chilly for early season. Back in the same stand this pm though. See more there in afternoon usually. If see anything there pretty much have a shot. Thick edge of a swamp.

Got the 7pt and 4pt in front of me again. Where are all the does! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

6 deer so far 4 bucks, just lost the game to one outside the ears at 15 yards . I never saw him till a doe busted me , he froze and the game was on .

Did my best to crop out his face since they are not my pics. Giant!

So wife and I are in Niagara falls for our 28th wedding anniversary today and tomorrow. We've been together for 29 1/2 years , I still can’t believe that’s she’s put up with me for this many years. So glad I found her..

So there I was in my tree stand, in the last few minutes of sunlight (an hour ago), when I see a dark colored beast to my right. I couldn't see how many points he had, wasn't too big, but wasn't too small either. I'd guess 6. Anyway I wait until he gets to a clearing at about 30 yards, draw back my bow, and nail him. The arrow knocks him down, and he rolls around on the ground for a few seconds, before getting up and running away. I watch the lighted knock fall out about 50 yards away (not sure whether it fell out or if the arrow broke, etc.), then I climbed down and came home to write this while I wait. It wasn't a perfect shot, because the arrow was clearly hanging out. I'm thinking it hit the shoulder blade. I'll go out in about half an hour or so and see how much blood there is and take a look at what the arrow looks like...

Nice 8 to ears cruised by. Getting better

Finally in stand.first time sit in this stand,good luck everyone.my view

My boss just called and wanted to know why I’m Whispering lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1 cam pic at midnight...Yuck!!!!someones got a scrape line going(5 spots).first ones ive seen of the year.usually happens every year in same area along woods.may have to try this one @Biz-R-OWorld style to catch the culprit in the act

Thank you all. We've been hunting through rain and cold all day sit. He was getting a bit discouraged. He did not see anything till today. He's happy now.

Passed on a nice 8pt at 15 yards (~16" wide and decent height). I have a few trail cam pics of him, but wasn't sure if I could pass on him or not. Guess I know now. I am wet and chilled to the bone already! Might have to break out the coffee a little early! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Just got to spot and settled in. The 4x2, 6pt was here last night in shooting hours! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Isn’t that why they serve it in a bucket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So back to the t-shirts. Folks will be starting to post hero pics soon. Those t-shirts are needed for photographic artistry!

Self defense from Squatch is more believable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People are a pain to deal with. They don't want to pay sh*t for anything on craigslist or facebook. They'd rather buy some new particle board garbage that will turn to dust inside of two years instead of solid wood furniture that, save for its potentially out of date design, will be as functional in 10-20 years as it is today.

You're the man!! Some people just don't get that others enjoy the experience and time spent in the woods and don't want their season to end so soon. I have 32 days to use by the end of muzzleloader season. We wait all year long for this 6 week window to bow hunt. If I get a chance at a bigger buck than I've ever gotten, I would shoot it this early. Other than that, forget it. If I shoot a lesser buck later than I passed up, that's fine with me. The experience and memories mean more to me than a mediocre buck. If I want meat, I'll shoot a doe... no biggie. Good luck!

Sat again this evening on the ground. Had the same 2pt and 7pt walk by me at 8 yards. They suspected something was up but I stayed there frozen with my leafy head cover. They kept looking but couldn't figure me out. Then they eventually wandered away. Hopefully I will take (see) a doe soon so I can start hunting one of the boys.

10/2/19 Received a call from a hunter reporting shooting a buck in the shoulder area at 6:30 last night. He had trailed the deer for about 50 yards, lost blood, marked it, and backed out. Kunox and I arrived and were on light blood for a couple hundred yards, then it dried up. We continued on and Kunox went hot, but we never saw the deer or found any blood so we weren’t sure if it was our buck or another deer. After 300 yards we went back to last blood for a restart. This time, Kunox took a trail that was a few yards over from the original and showed us a spot where the buck had stood and was bleeding pretty good. We continued on and saw a drop of blood here and there for a few hundred yards before backing out and we agreed to come back in the morning. Due to work commitments, the hunter couldn’t start until 9:30. 10/3/19 I had a conversation with the hunter about game cameras and he said he had two of them out. I told him I’d like to check them before resuming the track, but neither one of them had a picture of our buck. I took Kunox to the second to the last ribbon marking blood and he picked up where he left off last night. He would be on it, then it was obvious he wasn’t, but he’d head back to the blood on his own. We did this throughout the 120 acres for 4 hours, never finding a bed or any fresh blood. The hunter knew where the buck bedded and the area was only a couple hundreds yards from where we stopped last night, so we headed over and thoroughly searched that area, but no luck. I pulled the plug on the search at this time. GPS showed we had walked 3.96 miles circling around those woods. Shortly before this, the hunter had remembered he had a third camera out, this one in an apple orchard. We thought it would be prudent to check this camera too. Guess who was there at 5:06 this morning! The picture quality was poor so it impossible to see exactly where the deer was hit, but it did look like possibly in the shoulder area. Hopefully he gets another chance at him soon!

Finally got high for 2019 Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk
