  2. My son wacked a great buck tonight with the xbow. Haven't seen a thing all year but a spike so far. Couldn't get in any of our good stands with the strong south winds. Until tonight, the wind switched just enough west to get into a good stand. Last half hour, this guy comes out of nowhere, 25 yards quartering towards us. He made an awesome shot, got the top of both lungs and never hit the guts. No exit hole so it was a tiny bits of blood as he ran with the bolt in him, but we heard him crash hard from the stand. But it started pouring and so little blood I started getting nervous that maybe I was hearing things when he crashed. He went about 100 yards total and piled up.

  7. Saw 5 buck and 1 doe today. Three small guys, 1 nice 2.5 8 pt and the second largest deer of this season. The big one was dogging a doe and fighting off attempts of a small 8 pt. It was cool to watch He just didn't give me a shot. I have video of a small buck coming into Golden Estrous then licking my stand. Also have video of the 2.5 8 pt. Enjoy!

  9. One antlered buck taken yesterday… his skull shows weird calcified bone growth above his eye and a fractured skull where he lost his antler. Always amazing how tough they are.

  14. Not that todays weather was the best but it’s a shining example of nothing in life is guaranteed. You can do everything possible to be successful but still come up short. good thing it’s only hunting and there’s always next time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. Oh. Almost forgot to tell you that the buck I got last week was standing in the exact spot as the doe I got exactly one week prior. Shot her on an observation sit. The “accidental doe” gave me clues for how to get my buck. First deer with a bow from a treestand. Normally I’m on the ground. Both were 12 yards directly down wind, right where I said they would never be. [emoji23] Being tagged out before November is … uncomfortable at the moment. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

  18. Having run a few message boards I can say there is actually known message board etiquette rules, one is "never go on someone else's board and publicly mine it to lure members to another board", was always a banning offense. Malcontent members now have a new board setup the way the way they always wanted, so leave here on a good note quit the banter and use your new home. Al

  25. I saw a nice buck this morning that passed just out of range, as usual. I grunted, he stopped and then walked off. After 15 minutes I saw a buck from the same direction... now I am second guessing if it was the same buck. Praying I find him. Gonna wait another hour. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

  30. I’m thrilled that my preparation paid off. This happened exactly as I imagined it would. Trail cam pic was taken the day before I shot him. He’s a “dork deer.” See his overbite? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  31. Found this buried in my basement today. Not sure how old it is (gotta be at least 15 years old) but I decided to make a fake scrape in my back yard. It smelled good after all these years. It'll be interesting to see if it still works.

  37. Shooting rests and benches can run significant money but there are some options that work great and are priced reasonable. The Caldwell tack driver is a winner and does not break the bank. There is an unfilled version that can be had for under $20. Al

  39. Yeah I was just looking at that. Your getting shafted pretty hard. My teams gotten better, but no way I should be 6-3. Even the juggernaut that is @ridgerunner88 doesn't show up when he plays me

  40. Saw a full size bobcat, but he just sort of kept moving and didn't give a shot, not that I'm sure what you do with a bobcat, I know theres stamps involved but I don't know the process. Other than that it was the usual, bumped some deer on the way to the car.

  41. I'm not a small game expert. Many years ago while deer hunting in the Catskills I saw a white weasel?/martin?/ermine? (no idea what it was) that was definitely not albino.

  43. 11/5/22 I was contacted last night by a guy who’s girlfriend had shot her first deer and it was a gutshot. He knew exactly what to do…..back out so you don’t push it. I let Luna take this morning’s track since she didn’t get to chew on a deer yesterday. It was 62 degrees when I left the house at 6:45 this morning. I can’t remember ever wearing a short sleeve shirt while tracking in November before. I expected this would be a slam dunk track, but it was not. The buck was all over the place which makes me think coyotes had been after it. We ended up in a swamp with Luna swimming down a beaver run as I was in mid thigh deep water following her. We didn’t see any fresh sign, so we went back about 300 yards to last blood for a restart. She brought us back the same way, but at one point she clearly was air scenting, but then continued with her nose to the ground. I told the boyfriend to mark our location on OnX because we may be coming back to look around, which did happen a little while later. We searched the thick swamp grass area while the hunter kept Luna there since she hadn’t shown any interest in going in there. We didn’t find the buck or any sign. We went for another restart and this time when we got to that area Luna began air scenting again and started pulling on the leash and pulled me into the swamp grass. She showed me a bloody bed not too far away which I examined and then called the hunting party over. I stood up and 5’ away I saw the buck laying there dead. It was very windy this morning and it was swirling in the swamp, which was definitely a factor. So happy for this young hunter. Nice 6 point for her first ever deer.
