Maybe not as often as doe's, but yes, bucks will sound the alarm too.

Great buck, great hunt, great recovery! Way to go! And after killing many deer with a bow, I still get excited before the shot! If I ever lose that excitement, I'll hang up my hunting hat. Congratulations sir! Well done!

Congratulations on a great buck, John! Super cool that it's your first bow buck too! Way to go! Can't wait for the story! -
Did a little scouting/small game hunting with a member here yesterday morning. Then caught up with a few farm chores and shot my hunting rifle. After that, home to a couple home chores and football. Just too warm! Need a good cool down to get the deer moving more during daylight. So far, this season is very similar to last year with the above average temps.

Yes, but I feel that full inclusion should have been passed last year. I also feel that ANYONE, hunting with a crossbow should have to take the Bowhunters Safety Course. Being a long time bowhunter I do understand both sides of the crossbow debate. But they are here to stay and I've learned to accept that and even hunt with one myself.

Fresh scrapes and rubs are popping up almost daily now. Haven't seen any chasing, but it won't be long before the young scrappers start to pester the doe's. But if you are lucky enough to have an older doe cycle early, you could have a parade of bucks go by you!

A mouth call that made the deer distress blow! I bought it at an outdoors show. I remember thinking at the time," hey I've heard deer make that sound before"! It didn't take long to learn that when I blew that call, deer RAN!!!! ....lol I still have it somewhere.

The Bills are not "my' team, but they were yesterday! I loved seeing the fans "warm welcome" to Kap and the Bills defense pounded him all day! Great game Bills!!!

Congratulations! You renew the Dad contract and gain another hunting buddy! Awesome! Got cigars?

Coming from someone who ignores drug dealers in front of schools. Or perverts on the playground. But he's no rat. Gotta love a guy like that!

What is your favorite smoothbore shotgun slug ammo for deer
grampy replied to LJC's topic in Rifle and Gun Hunting
My old Ithaca smoothbores loved the 2 3/4 Remington sluggers. A bunch of deer fell to that combo. -
Man do I love stories like this! Looks like a great time was had by both hunters! I wouldn't want to be a deer in that area!
-
That's why it should be mandatory to take the Bowhunter Educaton Course, for crossbow use. Some people are so inept at hunting, that even with a firearm, they cant close the deal. I don't see those same people doing much damage to the deer population with a crossbow.
-
Just pass full inclusion for crossbow, and let each hunter, decide for themselves, what they will hunt with! If you don't like crossbows, that's fine. Don't hunt with them! But like it or not, crossbows are here to stay, and will only become more popular.

Welcome! Nice for you to stop by! Tell us all a little about yourself.
-
Congratulations dalo and wooly!!!! What a great accomplishment, done together! It's just awesome. So happy for you guys!
-
Who had more fun, you or the dogs? Probably a toss up, I'd say? Great stuff for sure! Love the sound of a beagle on a rabbit's scent trail! HOWWWOOOOOOO........
-
Dang.........just saw this and it's sold already!
-
So cool! Congratulations! You will kill many more with your bow, but the first one will always be extra special! Way to go! Great job!

A huge congrats to you guys that got it done today!!! I got in well before light. Everything was perfect! Except I saw no deer. Got up by my truck and did see a doe and fawn. Just bad luck so far! Got five different bucks on cam from that ridge! After a coffee, my partner and I moved a stand to a hot spot for opening day of firearms season. And called it a day! -
Welcome! Just pull up a seat and join in anytime!

Looks like that stuff hank parker pushes? C'mere deer or something similar. I would turn them in Rob! I have 0 tolerance for a poacher! Maybe they even have a pic of themselves on the cam, after setting? Do it before they check the cam, and see you, or you will be blamed if someone else turn them in! I know that area, and it gets a good amount of people. Hunters, hikers, dog walkers and such. So like you said, they really are stupid and dumb to bait deer there!

Got an older Bushnell model that still works well and is reliable.

Heading to one of my best early season set ups. An oak ridge with a south facing slope. Going in solo, no grandson today. Hoping to change my luck, after the sun rises over my right shoulder in a couple hours or so. Good luck to all heading out and keep yourself safe! -

Will be nice and chilly in the morning. I'm going back down on the oak ridge where I had my fall a couple weeks ago. It's one of my favorite early season spots. Even if I see deer, it will be much less eventful than the last time I was there. My grandson has a game at 11 so will be out early.
