really? ive never heard of that. can you dig any info up on that? id like to read into it, ill try some searching to see.

tell me about it... i got some really nice deer on trail cam, all at night nothing in the day. sighting in stand have been amongst the worst for me

injury i always thought... my 7 point had an abnormal beam on the left side. i didnt pay much attention to any injuries tho when i butchered him up last night...

WOOOWWW!! look at the spread on that ole boy!

nice buck! you dont have any other pics but the one??

you know whats funny, i think majority of the the moons in the past 10 years have been full?? i dont know why but i want to say i usually remember having full moons for opening weekend? could be wrong... it would be nice to have some colder weather!

I can now finally add a pic! 7 point i shot on Saturday, 5 yards!

thanks guys! hopefully the next one is bigger but at least i was able to fill the freezer. i can only be selective for so long, after 75+ hours in stand and 8 weeks into the season, i coudnt pass on it... i cant kick a good horse so im happy with him. ive been grinding at the bit for even a glimpse at a decent buck and it just has not happen for me. i had to break the ice!

same thing with me... i was getting dejected about this season, i put so much time in the woods this season only to come out with nothing. i past on a decent amount of small bucks tho. my lucj changed on Saturday tho, smoked a 7 point at 5 yards, dont give up!! it will happen

congrats

i havnt had as much luck with the scents this year... i did get a spike to my tree this year with the buck bomb tho... thats about it.

Well after logging over 75 hours in my stands, i was finally able to close the deal on a decent deer... i have been praying to have a doe come in close enough all season or a nice buck but this season i have to admit was amongst the slowest for me. i really had a hard time getting it done this year. i have passed up quite a few small bucks since Oct 1st and i made a deal with myself to take a doe or anything really that came within and i also decided to hit a spot that is my defintion of a honey hole. i dont hunt it more then a few times a year and i always see deer out of it. infact i always have deer directly under the stand. i did alot of yard work around the house on saturday, temps were alittle high and i made the call to slip into my secret spot for a evening hunt. when i got there i managed to slip past 3 does bedded up 45 yards from my stand and after 5 minutes or so of being posted they got up and started feeding towards me. about 2 minutes after that i had 2 yearling bleeting under my stand and not 2 minutes later i had a nice size doe sprint up from behind me with a gimp leg, i was ready to draw but was unable to get a shot on her. i heard branches breaking and something coming in in a hurry, when i looked i saw horns and decided it was go time. this buck was running this doe hard and stopped quartering away from me at 5 yards. I let the rage rip taking out a lung and top of the heart while it stopped int the off shoulder. the buck ran 20 - 25 yards and went to continue to run the doe, took 2 steps and piled up! the whole thing lasted 10 seconds and my whole hunt on stand was done in less then 15 minutes... doesnt always happen like that but its always pretty neat to have a nice buck down and be out of the woods with nice light still up! hes not huge but i love the character on the left beam, hes a nice 7 point.

thats great to share that with your dad! congrats to you guys. nice buck im sure he will be celebrating that!

my prayers are for you and your wife!

LOL!!!!! thats great! gotta get me one of those

congreats! thats great news!

lol that video is actually really cool. its prop totally illegal but i think its really cool that she gained that deers trust like that.

thats carzy! really cool... elk in NY would really be something... i would like to see that

LOL

LOL thats great! as a father that must have been a good moment to spend that time in the woods with him. im sure you will have plenty years and plenty more moments in the woods to share together....

thats funny, i passed on one just about that size at 10 yards... wonder if it was the same one? lol

lol Mmm hmmmm.... i knew it...

great looking deer! nice job

+1!!

that is really crazy! only thing is the antler from the attacking deer looks to be very small compared to the other buck. i wouldnt think a buck that size would really want to jam with that monster?! is it just me?
