  1. Hes going to follow you home after the drop off to get some more quarter pound burgers! I know i would be.. lol
  2. 5 days off, paid by the State, first 5 days back a mask mus tbe worn until day 11 you can be mask free if symptoms are gone. We can do this up to 3x per year, but it can only be once per each 1/3 of the year. Which is bs, bc once you get it, the kids get it or vice versa and now you have to use vacation time to care for your sick kids now. Ask me how i know.. lol twice now.. I am pretty sure i had covid a month or so ago.. i just kept my mouth shut and went on as anyone should. kept my distance and did what i had to.
  3. HEs dead, go in today and ge thim. when they stop like that they are either single lunch or liver hit or both. Especially if you jumped him within 100 yards. sounds like liver hit. Some will be alove 12 hour slate, some dead in an hour or two. Go slow, and look for him bedded. he may go 20 yards and bed back down or 200 and bed back down. try to think if what way deer use the area , go slow and be observant. Keep us posted. We just went through this the last 2 days, with no luck on a deer we are very certain that should be succumbed to his wounds.
  4. My 16yr old boy drew our first blood of the year. He Finally got tired of waiting on Mr big. And took this young doe out of one of our food plots last night
  5. I use a howler at night to try and locate many times. I will run hand calls during the say. But my biggest problem with hand calls, is im out of breathe from whaling on it for awhile that it couldn't shoot accurately if one presented a shot opportunity
  6. Late to the game but i think you hit his backstraps. The way the arrow is angled, would go par with little bright blood on arrow and zero on ground. They typically drip a little quickly then nothing. and tend to act like wth was that that hit me. And he may come back through again.. Ive had that happen as well. Sorry for not finding him.. My brothers been tracking his buck for 2 days now. The arrow has 12" penetration, organ tissue and dark blood on shaft. looked like a single lung liver hit... Couple small dark pools of blood. Buck bolted, stopped, then walked away rough looking. called the dogs.. and the dogs couldnt even take the track past last blood.. i dont get it.
  7. Have only been out twice this year. Everything has terrible timing for me this year. Hoping to make a couple mid day sets next week. Wifes in Vegas for work for the next 8 days.. ugh!
  8. Dont let the heat keep you from hunting. a hot doe will make any buck move regardless of weather. My buddy shot a giant last night on his feet looking for a doe willing to play
  9. solid 4.5-5.5 yr old. If you are looking to kill mature bucks, your best interest is to stay out of those woods and do not go in unless your hunting, then you can carefully pull or move a cam. The key to killing a home body buck is to keep all pressure off your property and only hunt when its right..
  10. That deer is 5.5+ by tooth wear
  11. I'm guessing these are 100 yard groups? I have the same model gun in a few other calibers. I felt with the more budget style guns, they needed to have a barrel break in process to get the best accuracy. And the more it was shot the better it got. The sst will get the job done, however ive heard too many horror stories from them. If you can id try and find a good soft point bullet or a barnes copper style. The 270 was really designed to shoot the 130gr bullets, not that you cant shoot the others. If you stick with the SST which 1.5" group is plenty good enough. do your best to avoid that shoulder. Also, These Axis guns will shoot differently if you force and add any flex or stress to the stock while your holding/shooting it. They are very flimsy stocks, and if not just lightly holding it, it can make your groups suffer some. have also had a 6.5cm in savage axis brand at it drove tacks.. Just a few things to ponder. I have a brand new in box Abolt at home in 270 I need to shoot, this makes me want to get it out and see what it will do.
  12. Vieo is amazing! just really sucks when you have many and it comes time to view them, and save them for the archives. Hate it. But theyre great on scrapes and hot rut spots.
  13. IVe had covid 3 times now and the last time it turned into some new strain of the flu, as covid left.. Flu was just as good/bad but it didn't fully leave my body for nearly 2 months. Pure congestion that sucked.
  14. The deer have wiped out all of my brassicas before any could put on a bulb/tuber.. which i guess makes a great time for seeding down a perennial blend. Even my kill plots got seeded with a fall grain blend into Mid september and they are literally keeping it right to the ground.. and these plots are a 1/2 acre and a 2/3 acre plot.. But my plot behind the house is insane, the deer are in it nightly but they're only really eating the clovers and alfalfa that are growing up through. Hopefully they start getting the Brassica plants when temps drop(whenever that is) To my knowledge they've never had brassica bulbs/plants in the area..
  15. Yea depending on where your at, your rye, if it gets moisture, should germinate this fall still. Warms temps yet for a bit, and it grows down to temps in the 30s
  16. As fall nears i never get the fall seeds started/planted. It stinks, Just gets too busy. So I Mowed everything and mulched it up, lightly raked in and applied Cereal rye over the top of the garden bed. This will germinate now and re grow first thing in April and keep weeds from competing as much. When the Rye is almost mature (around Memorial Day) ill crimp it down and plant the garden. Natural weed mat, and adding Organic Matter as well as it will decompose
  17. There was a Black one killed the other night in CNY
  18. Have some nice strawberry blonde here on occasion.. but mostly just a little lighter or darker than normal. Would love to call in a blonde "coyote" someday lol or a black coyote!
  19. They are best used in tight quarters, or shooting moving animals at closer ranges. Like in predator hunting during the day, or driving deer, or what have you. Certainly has its place. Depending on your hunting style. My wife is using a red dot on one of our ARs cause she cant pull a scope up and get comfortable with it, The AR 223 for the low recoil.. Mainly bc she doesn't shoot enough.. so we accomodate her needs.. great on an AR platform as well where your follow up round is quick behind
  20. Typically a bear will do things like this, but to have it completely off the tree with no marks or damage. Have also had 2 owls lately mess with 2 of our cameras on 2 dif properties. Id have to say Bear or person.. We all know people will surprise ya. Even if you don't think they're there.
  21. Love my TC OMega, as well as the Triumph.
  22. Wrong time of year to be judging age by body characteristics. ITs possible but An October Picture would better describe this buck..
