Doe turned out to be a button buck . My oldest son and I did an afternoon hunt in Geneseo Friday November 23 . I used my elevated stand at the pond bank . I hadn't slept well Thanksgiving night and felt real tired . I closed my eyes a few times but stayed awake . At about 3 pm what appeared to be a doe stepped out in the open less than 75 yards away . She moved into the weeds and I hoped I could get a good shot through them . If the deer moved further , it would be in the thickets . I put the 25-06 on the bi-pod , pulled the hammer back and fired . She dropped right where she stood . I waited a few minutes , got down , took a quick picture and got back in the stand . Around 4 pm my oldest son came down with his ATV and the sled . He said he would field dress it for me . I had the tag made out and when I went to attach it to and ear I realized that it was a button buck and not a doe . Anyway , it's in my son's freezer and it was one less tag to eat .

Darn deer

Broke the ice and shot a doe at 3 pm . She dropped in her tracks. I love my 25-06 single shot. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Not a hunting item but a great deal ! I was in the market for a Vacuum Cleaner . In the new Consumer Reports book , the Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 was rated the highest but at a price of $400 . I saw the Kohl's ad with it on sale for $250 . After dinner yesterday , we stopped at Kohl's to pick one up . A woman was walking around getting people to sign up for Credit Cards . I didn't want one but there was an offer for 35 percent off of the purchase so I signed up . There were very long lines at the checkouts but she gave us a slip to go directly to Customer Service and avoid the lines . The price was $162.49 plus $13 tax for a total of $175.49 for a $400 Vacuum . Not bad ! Plus my wife was given a $60 voucher to be used for an in store purchase next week . I think we did okay ......

Happy Thankgiving

In another thread , fatal shot was brought up . A gut shot deer can travel a log way as well as it can with other wounds and be claimed by another hunter . What so yo consider a "Fatal Shot" ?

Here is a Black Friday deal from TSC

What the heck is going on ? My oldest son and I went to Geneseo this am . He used his gun stand and I set up in the Laneway in a double chair blind . I had visibility to over 200 yards . Nothing came in . I saw nothing from 7 am to 4:30 pm . My son only saw the small spotted fawn that I had seen during Crossbow Season . Only heard 2 shots all day long and they were in the distance . We might try an afternoon hunt Friday . Bummer !

Thet thar's a gud'un !

The LIKE button must not be working . I'm not getting many likes !

Why not drive to Auto Zone or Pep Boys and have them check it out ...........

Was in my elevated blind at the pond on my SIL's property in Geneseo before 6am . Quite cold this am . I heard the 1st shot around 5:55 and another 17 before legal time . I stayed in my stand until 4:45 and never saw a thing . My youngest son was about 700 yards away in the flooded woods and got a small doe . My oldest son was about 700 yards south of me and got a large doe . So , it wasn't a bad day after all .

Congrats Paula !

Hopefully there will be some hunters out in the Geneseo area to get the deer moving . They need to be pushed a little .

I got up at 2:45 ...........

Got a lot of snow but with in being in the 40's this afternoon , the snow has settled some .

Getting up at 2:30 and leave before 4 am . Got an hour drive and then a half mile to the stand .

Great pics ! thanks for sharing .

Went my my friend's property in Walworth this am . Sat for 4 1/2 hours and never saw a thing . I have been getting some decent pics of a couple bucks and some doe recently but not on a daily basis . Put the crossbow away and getting ready for Gun Season .

Two Bucks in a fight .......

Happy Birthday G-Man !

Thursday is a no go . Just got reminded about a doctor's appointment this Thursday . Damn !

Happy Birthday !

Youngest son Nick and I went to Geneseo this am . we were in our stands by 6am . It was cold but we managed . I had a small rack buck come in where I had driven the ATV . He was in the high grass and didn't offer a shot . He had walked behind my son who had seen a larger buck in the laneway . He was able to see it through the trees . We went up to our vehicles around 11:30 . At 2pm we went to different spots . I did some trimming and sat in my double chair blind . I didn't see anything in the afternoon but nick saw a couple doe and a half dozen turkeys . Might give it another try Thursday and then get ready for gun season . Havn't seen anyone hunting on the adjacent property all bow season .
