    Took this doe sunday AM... poked my way up a pine knob suspecting a deer to be bedded down. Sure enough I saw a head looking at me. She stood up and I pulled the trigger. Took out heart and both lungs and still ran 50 yards. I thought it was perfectly broadside but she had an exit wound under the front shoulder. I had one day to muzzleload hunt and it paid off.

    Yesterday I shot a nice doe (will post in harvest thread soon) and found a set of tracks with some blood. I stopped my drag and picked up the trail. As I suspected there was a dead doe not more than 50 yards later. I back tracked and found a set of boot tracks no more than 100 yards from the deer. Guy shot and didn't do a damn thing to track it. Very upsetting.

    He had asked me last week if I could use another deer, to which I replied yes. He already donated one to the state and told him I would have taken that one too. I don't quite get it myself. But I do know plenty of people locally that would love to have some venison. I may acually give it to a friend anyway. I still have 2 tags left.

    Just heard a neat story. Last year I reported on here about how I helped a 70 year old guy gut and drag a 4 pt. on opening morning of rifle. Late October this year the neighbor saw that same guy drive his atv up to the woods and about an hour later drive back down dragging a buck. It turned he went up to check the path for downed trees. He brought his bow along and decided to sit on the ground underneath a pine. After only a few minutes he had a rut crazed 8pt walk directly at him and offered a shot at 15 yards. He drew back and shot what happened to be his biggest buck in 40 years!

    I had the safety off on a doe 100yds offhand decided not to shoot. I had three voicemails on my phone I was worried about and wanted to check on and no service. Let the deer walk jumped in my truck and drove down the road to check. It was the neighbor, he shot a doe and wanted me to have it.

    I am almost at the point of being embarrassed. The majority of gun hunters I have encountered this year are absolute slugs. Get the rifle out of the closet and wander around without orange on. Do drives on land they have never set foot on while other hunters are in there. I actually saw a guy in brown carharts come meandering through a thicket this year. Evidently his name was chris because I heard some jackass yelling "chris" about twenty minutes before. I could go on and on, if I was using my computer instead of my phone I would. Stay safe out there.

    Sunday 1020AM this fella came in zig zagging back and forth going over the same path a doe had walked at first light.

    I'll be out as usual. I don't think we are going anywhere so I don't have to worry about ruining dinner like when I shot that buck at 3:00 a few years ago... a mile from the road. .. and I unknowingly had the turkey fryer in my truck. That went over like a turd in a punch bowl.

    Had a doe come in this eve... nothing else. Saw a total of 5 deer today including the spike. My sister inlaw texted me. She just got her second deer ever. Her first was last weekend! This summer she set up cams found her own spots and bought her rifle.... all on her own! She is addicted...

    Had three doe come in and bed down for two hours. Had a grouse land directly above me. I was watching the momma doe about thirty yards out and I notice a handsome spike standing about 10 feet from her with love in his eyes. He grunted and she got up and trotted aways. He tried his luck with the others then chased after momma.

    Prevailing wind direction is key too

    I've gone years without seeing a buck... been successful the last five. It has come down to t he last legal minute of muzzleloader for me. My point is don't give up... you'll get your moment. Learn the property and find a thick area without pressure or an isolated feeding area.

    Well ran into a guy walking he says... I saw your stand was back where it was last year so we set up down "below". Below is 100 yards down the trail where the deer come from... wtf. They walk in the short way and bump all the deer. I walk in the long way so I don't jump them. Total ignorance.180 acres and they have to pull this crap.

    Cute... wait it's on a boat? This reminds me of a story. .. my brother was at a guys house last year and this teenage kid was trying to go bow hunting. .. the only problem was that their pet spike horn was following him into the woods. The kid was yelling at the deer "go home! Get go!" Haha.

    It is difficult for me to commit to shooting 2.5yr and older deer since most in my area shoot any legal buck. I would much rather take a deer with more meat on it. I got my first bow buck last year, 1.5yr 8pt. I would have let it walk because it wasn't big bodied, but I know anyone would have corked him just because he was an 8. I would rather have shot a 160# spike. Double standard, I know. Other than that I would let a 1.5 yr walk.

    My friend who hunts the same land I did shot a doe last year that was getting dogged by a spike. He dropped the doe and the spike ran around her a few times and then tried to mount her! He got up in his stand and waved and yelled at it!

    What a smoker! I probably would have had a heart attack.

    Wow! That is one hell of a season, nice work!

    Walked in to the new spot. saw some deer down in the bushes about 80 yards away getting chased around. A small doe got spooked and made her way to me. I passed. I planned on setting a stand down there and cut in some shooting lanes over this past summer. .. never had time.

    Interesting day... So after my morning I decided to move my stand and scout around on my half mile walk towards the new spot I had in mind. About half way there I notice two crows take off. I set my stand down and walk over and find a TINY doe head... very fresh. The ear was about the size of a beach leaf... thinking it could be either coyotes or human. Definately brought there by a critter as it is a ways from the road. Fast forward to later when I am walking to my stand after running errands. .. I was walking by a standing rotten wind sheared pine trunk and I hear a "plop" about two feet from my boot. It was a bloodied mouse! I looked up the trunk and at the top is a chipmunk with a bloody face... I guess the mouse got evicted. As for deer in the afternoon I had two doe come in that had the heads of yearlings but big bodies, kinda strange... very skittish and nervous acting. Hopefully I'll get a shot at something tomorrow.

    Good thing this spot is burned out, I sat here for an hour with my release in my pocket. Forget to put it back on after adding a layer
