Happy birthday John, thank you for such a wonderful hunting website!

Happy birthday Wooly!

Congrats!

Sounds relaxing to me! lol Enjoy being out in the woods no matter the weather. The woods speak to me like no other and usually don't talk back!

Two 6 packs for Christmas day!

Merry Christmas.

Nice picts love the B&W. I take group photos at my camp. They line the cabin walls, documenting our hunting seasons! My neighbors camp does a group photo at the end of opening week before they all leave. Deer are hanging in the background. Those who have shot deer are sitting in chairs others are standing. Every year someone has to leave early so I get the job to photoshop them into the bigger picture!

Prayers sent Grow..

Enjoy the holidays and the venison…don't know which one comes first! lol

Folks thanks so much for the help…..it worked!!! He is stable and the meds are all balancing out in his system. The talk is he might be able to come home in 3-5 days with his oxygen in tow. All you have to do is believe…. I have been here as a member for many years. This group is far above any other website hunting group I have been on. Yes we all get on each others nerves once in a while but the support, knowledge and dedication you members put out there second to none! Thank you so much and have a wonderful and safe Holiday season!

Awesome deer what a monster!

That 10 acre piece I bought last year is all pine. Over the years many of them got chocked out by the big trees and rotted. They are always falling making a tangled nest in there. I can bet dollars to donuts that every time we go through the trail we jump a number of deer bedding. I too will start opening up the canopy in some other areas on my property and do some hinge cutting.

Merry Christmas!

A man I have known almost 35 years. He was one of the first guys I met when I came up to my Brother in laws house to hunt. He was a big guy that farmed, had a construction business and had every piece of heavy equipment you could imagine. My eyes were always wide open and my ears perky as he would hold court with the local guys that hung around his garage. His house and land was always open to me and every once in a while I would catch him for a cup of coffee just the two of us, it was memorable. I have harvested some of my biggest deer from his property. He comes from a long line of decendants in Schuyler county, has a wonderful family and he will always have a special place in my heart. He is battling multiple complications in the hospital right now. Prayers needed please…..thank you.

Nice way to end the season!

I guess because my time is very limited I wasn't going out to kill a deer but to sit back and relax. I wanted to watch all my friends and family enjoy the place I call "deer camp" Oh and yes to see my brothers grandson at the age of 5 sit up in a tree stand with him for 5 hours on opening day!

I'm having a hard time with him not finding a blood trail. That arrow is in the back leg and stuck up through the deer. It had to be twisting and turning as it ran? I guess the guts could plug up the hole.

Folks the deer was found this morning. It was about 125 yards from his stand. In the total opposite direction it ran after being hit. From the looks of the arrow in the back leg it entered where the red dot was but traveled down through guts and out the other side hitting the back leg. You can see the arrow sticking out of the back leg. I think this animal was gut shot circled back around and tried to get back where it was bedded for the day. What are your thoughts?

Grow are you hinge cutting?
