Congrats!

Buck i shot this morning was all sorts of stinky and rutted up. But none of the scrapes have been hit around here in 8f

Im thinking we will. Should start getting hot soon!

Thanks everyone! Got him hanging right now and probably cut him up tomorow. Hes going on the wall. I know hes not a swamp monster but hes getting mounted.

Scoutlook, weather channel and time2hunt is what ive got on my phone

Nothing hitting scrapes here in 8f....the deer went on vacation apparently lol

Few more

Caught the femoral artery. He stepped as i shot

So heres the story... shot him this morning from a stand i havent hunted in about 5 years. I was literally in the stand all of thirty minutes when he came from my left along a 4 wheeler trail thru our property. At first i never saw horns only the rear end. Then i saw the horns. He stayed just on the other side at about 40 yards. Finally he walked out in front of me and presented a beautiful 32 yard quartering away shot. I stopped him and took the shot. It felt good. When he ran off,something wasnt working right in his rear legs. Waited ten minutes to get down and search for my arrow or blood. No arrow, no blood...i was a little sick at that point. Searched a little bit more but no go. Got back in the stand to replay it in my mind. When i shot he took a step so i figured i hit him back a bit. Sent a text to my buddy and told him i think i stuck one. He climbed down and came over. We started searching and he says....i got blood i was a little relieved at that point. After following it for awhile we both started thinking leg shot....but neither said anything. After decent blood for 150 yards...i look up and go..is that a deer about 30 yards into the thick stuff? Two more steps and i saw rack. Long story short i hit the rear hind quarter and clipped that artery. The arrow was buried in him with about 6 inches of arrow an fletchings sticking out. When i pulled it out....he started dumping blood. Not the greatest shot but it happens! After the season ive had this is awesome. 140# 9 point with nice mass to the horns. Pics dont do it justice.

8p

Shot a nice 9 point this morning!

9 point!

Sweet redemption! 9 point i shot this morning. 140#

Story to follow!

I already do all that. Just spray down before i go into the stand as an extra measure.

Ill try that...normally its just room temp but warm will probably work better

I was thinking the same thing for myself! But gun season changes everything!

Start in prattsburgh and see where we end up from there!

Headed down to southern tier tomorow! Hoping to fill a tag as the freezer is a little empty!

Just a touch windy out! Glad im packing my stuff for the trip down south this weekend!

8r and 8f in my pocket! Hoping to fill one this weekend!

If you didnt get in before oct 1, then yes. I have to pay.

Headed down in 15 mins to the town clerk to grab some!

Welcome!

Welcome aboard!
