My parents just braved the storm to get up here for from PA for thanksgiving. My grandad had mounted my archery buck for me and gave it to my folks to bring up. He does all the families except for the few shoulder mounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dude dont bother he isn't a hunter he's a troll threadjacker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not gonna engage the king of all trolls red tag meat wasting threadjacker... but I'll remind everyone else I harvested all my animals fair chase and have given nearly half the meat to my grandad, dad, and uncle who have been dealing with family health issues and too busy to harvest their own 4 or 5 deer between them that the whole family uses.

this is the guy who bragged about massacring deer with red tags off season...yet never posted a live from the stand or harvest.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You guys can come up with whatever arbitrary number you feel good about...mine is the max number I can use or legally take, whichever comes first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was also a wounded deer with a broken knee...the likelihood of her surviving this upcoming winter was slim. I was actually waiting on a big deer but this choice seemed obvious. I do agree there should be a throttle on those nuisance tags...instead of so many red tags they should issue dmaps for hunters to force the farmers to allow hunters to take more ag deer in season.

Thanks guys that seems to be most people's experience, great. Gonna pick one up after Xmas . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i think it's totally right to only harvest what you will use. I would never waste.That said I have a lot of family who hunt their butts off and it's nice to hook them up to when work or kids keep them from getting it done. Finally I love whitetail hunting and start in September in NJ and finish up in Feb in NJ...I feel like this is my mid season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

4 is usually good enough for me for the year...this year my grandfather has cancer and isn't able to hunt much and he uses 2 or 3 a year easy. Not too mention I like to break off a piece to my farmer and neighbors who let me hunt their properties. Beyond that I hunt my ass off and pay for the tags...not too mention how many guys buy doe tags with very little intention to fill them. I also give away meat as I get it, so that is my meat and I have to hunt more to get and give more...I don't stock 4 up and then start hunting for pop, he had half of my 2 nd deer. I feel like some of you guys would rather see does on windshields than legally taken and in a freezer. Only 17% of dmp's get filled...Im a meat hunter and a herd manager under the regulations of wherever I am hunting. I also dont shoot yearling bucks...No apologies here.

What kind of optics you guys using with it?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Twice "out back" was my only score of the year, nice work.Do you love the 220, thinking about getting one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like everyone else I have low hunting time sightings but tons of nocturnal deer as evident from trail pics and sign. Managed a personal best 6 filled tags despite that fact. Lowest sightings ever for me but I also blame mast glut and real moderate temps and high winds all fall, mixed with oceans of late standing corn means deer didn't have to move until the snow hit the ground last Saturday. And the numbers are for deer take I believe, not overall population. Deer take is a factor in that figure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the difference between a big one and a little one in my shed, you can see the lil one has about a foot of ground clearance, while big mature deer the neck and shanks nearly touch the ground: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Actually that was just before I hung her in the shed...I do that because my bigger deer barely have enough room to hang in my lil shed. So I do it with all my deer....the head also came off right after I snapped the pick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love it when a plan comes together...sweet work!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I shoot sluggers thru a mossburg 500 with an improved cylinder choke. Have had the same happen also had pass thrus...they all die nice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At noon my awesome wife surprised me with the news that I could go hunting around 1:30. I took a long way around to scout for tracks and didn't see a ton of real fresh but a good deal of lightly covered tracks which gave me some encouragement that deer had moved thru the previous pm. I was planning on going to another stand, but I decided since it was already 3pm I would try a stand I had yet to sit at any pm sessions all season. Heard some nearby shots right away but did not see any movement...then right around 4:25 a good doe limped in the pine/swamp edge parallel to the corn field. 50 yards right in front of me i stopped her with a "mah" aimed a bit high to compensate but hit my exact mark...she dropped with a spine and I put another in her chest for a quick finish. When i got up to her i saw the front right knee was broken and about 3 times the size the healthy knee. 6 tags filled including a 3 yr old 8 point archery buck...just 1 regular season tag left before I get forced to hunt DMFA and New Jersey thru February.

21 club in the theatre district has a nice "mixed grill of game" which includes a boar sausage, an elk shank and a venison tenderloin...very good think its like $65. That's why I put a premium value on the deer I harvest, process, give away and consume myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i really feel like they've had no reason to move until the real cold snap this past weekend, now they are on their feet from recent reports and several harvests past couple days. I filled my 6th tag of 2013 this pm...but probably my fewest sightings ever until the past 2 weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Keep at it, fletch saw does munchin browse today in a mix of hardwoods and pines. Several guys harvested does tonight, winter has got them on their feet, so they are covering more ground....You will score. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks boondock! Worked out great...dropped a doe who came in right in the swamp/pine edge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
