  1. Didn’t know butchers will just cape the deer. That said, it doesn’t take long for someone that has done a few.
  2. It’s a pretty cool aggressive display. I actually snortwheezed a buck in a few years ago in bow to kill him. The grunt alone wouldn’t get him to commit but the snort wheeze had him looking to fight.
  3. Guys driving state land next to us pushed a herd of doe in but ran by at 200yds. No chance for a shot in these thick woods. I even ran out of blind to try to find a lane. Now huffing and puffing but no chance on a shot. Lol
  4. Good luck TF and Samantha (sorry if that’s not correct). Just got to Culver’s camp. Sitting in a blind. Be nice if one of the guys had some action. Big woods here. Pretty place for sure.
  5. This seems to be a reasonable way to handle a situation with a second shooter. I know what my friends and I do but even with a stranger and a booner, if he/she is tracking a deer where bullet/arrow entered such that the Deer would likely/possibly die without my second shot, I would happily finish it off and let them tag it. If the hole was in the ear (as an extreme example) then that stranger has no right to claim the Deer. Here is a harder scenario in my opinion, you hear your friend shoot and he texts you saying he just shot a real nice buck and it’s running your way. A nice buck comes trotting by minutes later. You have no buck tag. Can/should you shoot it? What do you need to confirm before shooting if your answer is yes? This runs the ethical vs legal line.
  6. Great buck halfnelson. Looks like you used the sleeper hold on this one.
  7. Uhhh you are in the enviable position to not have to battle weather that you don’t like. Just an FYI. Lol
  8. There would be no question that in our group, first fatal shot keeps the deer. There has been a number of times a second hunter in our group has finished off a deer. Never been a question who would be tagging the deer. I did not know there is a written reg on this.
  9. Pretty sure that buck is field dressed Wolc. Meaning the chart says 144lbs when it weighed 182ish field dressed or close to 40lbs wrong. By the way, one data point does not a scientific study make.
  10. This must mean that wolcs estimates are way low just as I suspected. Lol
  11. That’s some serious acreage in excellent areas. Welcome aboard. We hunt many of the same areas but far fewer acres.
  12. Dead eye Pygmy. Note the handsome muzzleloader. Dan now loves the encore! Lol
  13. Well 2d came in at about 100, 2 shots with ML, both dropped. Don’t get pygmy angry.
  14. It only got uncomfortable for me. Dan just kept the hug going. Actually we almost had a shot on a doe but never got clear enough for a shot.
