Isnt it funny the way that goes... Deer that don't exist don't get hit by cars. But yet you'll hear the same complaints again this fall about how there's no deer anywhere.Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Stumbled on shed #19 for the year. One of my better finds too Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Not the best lighting for pictures but here is my archery buck from last November, pics don't do it justice, the detail is awesome. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

I have a 25 WSSM (Browning A-Bolt) that is ballistically identical to the 25-06 just in short fat case, if I could only pick one deer rifle it would be a 25 caliber. It flattens them quicker than my 06's, rarely does the round not exit and when it doesn't its stuck in the hide on the offside. I use the winchester 120gr PEP's with great results and this gun puts them well under 1". The gun is light and short and a pleasure to haul around. I've never had a deer go more than 50 yds with a lung hit, I wouldn't hesitate to use it on broadside elk under 250 yds. I've owned dozens of calibers and the 25's are hands down my favorites.

A few from yesterday out of Oswego. Ended the morning with 12 browns and 6 lakers Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

You'll definitely appreciate the AMS retriever kit. You can get them a lot of places for around $130, comes with the reel, rest and arrow you'll need, although always bring at least 2 arrows, extra safety slides, extra nocks and super glue. I shoot 60lbs because I bowfish Oneida lake a lot and sometimes the fish are just deeper. Rule of thumb is aim 6" lower than the fish for every foot the fish is down because of refraction. Don't use sights, its easier instinctive and its easier than you think to get good at with plenty of practice. I was very big into bow fishing for 6 years or so and sadly I don't get out as much as I used to but it doesn't take a whole lot of money to do either. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Not a great pic but the only one I have in my phone at the moment. He was 14 lbs, male, hit by a car in front of meSent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

You made a great decision! I bought a new canam in 2013 and absolutely love it. You'll find very few not impressed with their quality and power. Resale value is very high for a reason. I doubt you'll ever want a Polaris again. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Here's a couple out of the 15-20 I saw this size last week where I bowhunt. Very encouraging! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

I couldn't resist today and went shed hunting for 2 hours. I found sheds #16 and #17 for the year and a matching side to one of the antlers I found 3 weeks ago. I knew there were at least 2 great bucks in there and I've found 3 of their antlers so far, I'll be a happy man if I can find that last side... One was a fighter, broke his brow completely off one antler and his whole main beam beyond his G-2 on the other side. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

I'll agree fishers are very cool critters. I get a few pictures on trail cam every year but its rare I get many daylight pics, here's a photogenic little guy from last fall. Sorry if picture quality is bad on here... I also have a 14lb male mounted that was hit by a car in front of me years ago. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

I'll get out a few more times probably but here's my pile thus far... Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Picked up 5 more today on another piece of public land. That brings my total to 15 sheds and 3 deadheads for the year so far. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Another deadhead from today. Would've been pretty neat looking if his screwed up left antler wasn't eaten. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

#9 and #10 for the year Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Found one of the coolest deadheads I've ever came across today. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

My second time out this year, shed #7, looks like last years Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Found 6 sheds and a little deadhead today. Still tough with some snow left in the woods but I got lucky. Hope to find some matching sides the next few weeks Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

I do the best when I search the thickest brush I can find relatively close to a food source. The thicker the better and I'll circle the area for hours and hours, you'd be surprised how you walk right by them. Patience is key. I find 6-10 per year on public land Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

My first day out this year. Did better than average and its still early! Public land too... Got pics of the 2 bigger 8's this year too. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

I had the taxidermist add it, I feel like it makes it more of a scene than just a deer pasted up on the wall. There are a lot of options also.Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Yes opposite side. It always works that way with severe injuriesSent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Thanks! He's certainly unique. Had a busted up leg that healed up but it was too short to walk on so his hooves were 6" long, his left hind leg. He wasn't even limping. Tough critters! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Couple pics of mine Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
