Hahah... Thats like the old story about the fish that jumped into the frying pan on his own free will.

Grats to Dave, nice buck.

That's what I do. Enjoy the last day of bow and then spend the weekend with rifle.

Pull the plugs and check them, check the wires too.

What if he does that while pumping gas?

Wow. That's a nice buck! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I rather look like a big glowing pumpkin then get shot. But hey that's just me.

I don't see an issue with that. He bagged a deer and needed some gas.

Where does it say that??

That's crazy.

Wow really? I lived on Sea Cove Rd for a few years if its the pit I'm thinking of. Miss that town, its a nice place.

I finally got it done in 3H. And Antlers it was great meeting you! Thanks for stopping by. Maybe next year we can get you over for dinner!

Love at first sight

My good buddy fairgame, who is about a 3/4th of a mile away from me had these pics last year of a deer he thinks might be the buck I got. What do you think?

Wow grats!

Back out hoping to see some doe action

So here is the short story. I'm in the wood tower stand I built two years ago on our property in 3H. It overlooks a few ridges and has pretty good views. To my right there are pines and the deer seem to always travel out of the pines then take one of the ridges. So I hear some noises and see a doe running from a 4 ptr and then I saw a big body deeper in the pines but couldn't see a rack. All of an sudden the big one runs out and chases the 4. I still couldn't get a clean look at the rack. They ran off down the mountain a bit out of view. I was kind of upset I couldn't do a rack check on it. Then 15 min later in see a doe on the ridge. Had the scope on her and then I saw a nice rack pop up and disappear. So another 5 min passes by and the 4 ptr came back. Well the 8 pointer didn't like that and showed his face again. I heard some stomping and then the 8 popped out at 80 yards out broadside 5 min later. And that's that! This whole time I was on my knees so I could use my rail to stabilize my shot. The problem was the while stand was covered in ice and snow so moving quietly to reposition when they popped out again was a challenge. First buck in a long time, well worth the wait! My heart was pounding for hours, actually it still is. Still can't wipe the smile off my face. My old man was so excited too.

It was a blast.

Nothing. I even told my bro you sure you hit it. The damn deer had huge entry and exit wounds just no blood came out.

Old man is making a crazy feast. Have a few hunting buddies coming over.

My brothers buck last year had no blood trail. And it was hit in the heart with a 30-06

Just had a spike And a 4 ptr chasing 5 does go by

thanks guys heart is still pounding

Back in my stand. Got my first buck in a long time. This is from 3H.
