Luckily not my gun. I will let my friend know and let him decide. Thanks again for all the great info.

Thank u

OK thank you. No slugs then I take it?

Sorry if its a dumb question but my buddy got a Mossberg 500 from a relative for free and I haven't seen this before. Any help appreciated.

Awesome buck man

So we all know about the blizzard but how will 3+ ft of snow on the ground affect the deer this coming weekend? I know they have to eat but were talking snow over their head in some spots. Thanks for your input!

All your stories definitely made me feel better lol. Thanks for replying good luck when you go out!

Congrats!

I'm in the stand from 6-11. I'm cold n hungry so I get down to head to the cabin. I planned on going to another spot so I smoke a cig, trudge around getting my scent wicks and go back to the stand for my backpack. I put it on, clip the belt and look up and there's a huge 8 pointer staring at me at 50 yards tops. In the next 5 seconds I grab my shotgun, aim fire, he doesn't move an inch. I rack another round aim fire and he takes off. I could only see his head and top 1/4 of his body as he was behind a downed tree. I missed him both times. I couldn't believe it. Missed my first buck and first kill. This is my rookie year. It was so fast and he caught me so off guard. I'll be thinking about this one for years to come. If only I stayed in the stand 5 more minutes. If only I aimed an inch lower. If only this if only that. Just unreal.

Yea it sure does. I closed my eyes at one point cause I figured she'd see my eyeballs Lol! When you can hear leaves crunching under they're footsteps you know your close. I've enjoyed every minute this season. Bird or no bird I'm hooked. I've come so close so many times and had a ton of action my first year. I can truly say if I went with a shotty instead of a bow all season I most definitely would have tagged out. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

Not one gobble today for me either. Did have a hen come in and sit on my lap tho. About 5 feet away, was quite the experience. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

Well not a sound today, but I had a hen come in and just about sit on my lap. Was less than 5 feet away... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

Yea I use a mouth call. That bird was responding every time I hit a note on the box that's why I stuck with it. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

Yea ill try playing hard to get tomorrow with that one. I'm counting on those other birds coming by at 7...we'll see. It was more of trial period vs. an actual patterning I guess. I went with 3" #6's with the full choke vs. the modified. Tried those and 4's & 5's with those two chokes. Just using the stock chokes till next season. Setup at 40 yards had plenty in the kill zone to get the job done. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk
