Way to go on the deer guys!! When I dropped mine off at the butchers they had a lot of bucks in. And to tell the truth only a couple were all swollen up at the neck and stinking good. One was an absolute pig that the txidermist said his neck was so big he was going to order a mule deer form! Buck dressed out over 210. But I would say your going to see good action in central area for the next week. Right up till opening day when the war starts! Me and the boy will be getting out soon. On the ground tonight in a brush blind we did up a while back.

Awesome!!

Woke up and the wind was just ripping. 25 mph and it's still going strong and I'm still in bed listening to it. Supposed to slow up as the day goes on and temps go down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1&3 are. The middle one has the extra point on his right side. This pic also says 2015. Is that correct and are you asking if it is the same buck in two different years. If so, sure could be the racks are very close in style.

11/10/16 am 30 Down in the deep hole stand. I told myself that if any non fawn deer gave me a shot today it was going down. I think I have passed 9 shots at 1.5 yr olds so far but time was getting slim and I wanted to focus on getting out with my son with the crossbow as well as getting a couple gun brush blinds ready for next weekend. At 7:25am a young buck came in nose to the ground following a scent trail I had laid down. At 17 yards I pulled the trigger. I swore I saw the arrow hit perfect and he bounded about 15 yards then stopped for a few seconds then walked into the thick stuff. I did not hear a crash. I waited 30-40 minutes to get down. I found a gutty arrow and the blood trail did not make me thrilled. I decided to back out, I had a cam right there so I pulled card hoping it had a pic showing the hit. There were 2 pics but both just rear shots. So I came home and worked until 2 and my son and I went out. We followed a so so blood trail for 75 yards and there he was dead. He died a few seconds after the hit. The deer was more quartering to me than I thought. Went in perfect came out dirty.When we got to him there was a bunch of hair pulled off his hind quarter. We were none to soon a yote must have just found him and was going for the ham. Fortunate he did not get through the hide yet. I am a happy camper, first buck with the crossbow and first buck I have killed out of that ladder stand. I have had some bad history in that stand lol.

The safety on my mission can be loud if you just kick it forward. You need to ease it to keep it quiet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats!! Venison supply is looking good for you!!

11/9 pm 47 So son gets home from school and want to get out so we sneak out to the tower with 1.5 hours of shooting time. I had to do a quick conf call from the tower with a few dirty looks from him but what ya gonna do! I put up a window covering behind us so no more picked off from the front. About a half hour before sunset I see deer. Up the incline in front of us. Again we are in wrong seats lol. He comes to my side and sits on my knee as the deer, a doe and a button, hit the trail and turn right towards us. She turns broadside at about 20 yards and cuts towards th small field off to our right but he stays straight on right at us. I am in the way so Conner can't turn more to get a shot at her. The little one is right under us so we can't move. He finally heads after mom so we slowly get Conner moving towards the end window but they are jumpy and keep checking out the tower. They are back and forth but always one looking at us.It was so quiet tonight we had to be super careful and I am trying to whisper instructions to him. He had one op to take a freehand shot but was too shaky and not comfortable. He finally got seated and crossbow on the rail and they turned and just ass end until out of range. I should have just left him in that seat but was not sure what way they were turning. Same two that got away in youth!! This double hunting outa the tower is tough when the deer are so close and nervous.

Had my son with me in the tower for an hour and a half. We were so close to getting him a shot with the crossbow. It is so hard to get him in the right window and lined up when they were so close and jumpy. Aaaaaaaaaaa Doe and button again same two that we couldn't connect on in youth. He had a freehand shot but was not steady or comfortable. Every time he did get lined up was bad angle. Oy vey this is hard! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent!! Congrats to you both!!

Bummer, things that can be replaced though.

11/9 am 49 Out in the far stand out back for 2.5. Did not think I could sit in it two mornings in arow and not see a deer. I was wrong! Now at 4 days- 15 hours in stand without seeing a thing. I have no does and I think the bucks are looking elsewhere. I think I will be trying some different spots next few days. Gonna have to go public land. Heck at worst I see nothing but at least get to talk to different trees!!

Good luck Eddie!
