Trying again tonight, starting in marilla, then maybe Bennington, corfu, maybe akron. Heading out around 9 when the rain should be over.

Congrats TG, beautiful buck!

Marlin in .35 rem topped with a i believe leupold m8 straight 4x.

My father got a nice doe behind my house this evening.

I know of a good site with 20" 224 valkyrie barrels.

My double stands have the bars. I slide off the seat into a high kneeling position with the gun on the rail. Works everytime.

Then id definitely get the wraith, and a coyote cannon. You will be able to see eye shine further then you will be able to shoot. Get a good battery pack to go with it as thats the biggest knock on the wraith. Then id pick up a red headlamp like a wicked lights scan pro, i found i liked scanning with a head lamp better than a hand-held light.

If i were to start with a 2k budget id expect to go to 2500 lol. I personally hunt with a 204 ruger for the simple fact during deer season i hunt areas were you have to stay under .22 cal for center fire rifle until deer is over. I have had a runner this year that i shot at about 325 yards. Everything closer has died in sight. Speaking of sights, id reccomend a pulsar digex or pulsar digisight, shop around they could be had for around 1000-1200. Plus 200ish for ir light, then buy a accurate bolt gun, could be a ruger american predator, a savage, remington. All under 700 bucks. Then maybe look into a cheapish thermal for scanning, agm micro 384, or pulsar axion key models. Probably just set your budget to 3k lol, its almost tax return season!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Definitely not, and next year their will be a new one for santa to admire lol.

Out of likes already...congrats everyone on your kills today!

Congrats moog, great looking battle wounds on both you and the buck.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Guess away

Just a quick question, ive never had a deer aged but the buck i shot sunday intrigues me enough that id like to know. I want to send the jaw out to be aged as accurately as possible. I thought i heard you could do this through the dec but cant find any info. Anyone ever send a lower jaw in to be aged? Whats the process? Thanks.

For those that give a hoot about score. I had 2 people green score my buck. Numbers put into the Boone and Crockett online calculator. Grossed 155 2/8 Netted 143 7/8 Will have him scored officially after the 60 day drying period. So happy and thankful to have him. Just got home from my taxidermist. Ill get to see him again in 6-7months.

Congratulations TF awsome deer!

Love my lacrosse alpha burlys. I have the 800 and 1600gr.

Opening morning started with 4 deer coming in early, picked out the biggest and shot, she ran 30 yards and down she went. The 3 others scattered and then made their way back to me. Looked them over and picked what i thought was a good doe, bang flop. Unfortunately it was a button buck but we will definitely enjoy eating him. Best part was my son was with me, he was shaking from excitement. This morning went out with my son again. Had a group of doe and a spike working around near us then a 4pt came out and walked by at 30 yards. Around 815ish a buddy txtd me to see if i could come help track a friends buck he shot the day before. He has let me hunt yotes in his fields so i was definitely going to return the favor of generosity. My son was freezing so he was fine with walking out. Got to the house, unloaded the gun and walked into my kitchen. Looked out the front window in time to see a doe ripping across my front lawn with a horse chasing after her. I said "Holy sh*t"! Spun around ran to my rifle slid open the door, loaded the rifle, took a knee on my patio as the deer entered my field. He was running directly away from my and i took the texas heart shot, he dropped, tried to get up and i put 1 through his lungs and heart. First shot hit his hip joint and exploded. Very thankful for the opportunity, i know it wasnt a glorious hunting story of waiting out the buck in the woods but i hunted my ass off during archery, very happy to get this big guy on my wall. 21.5" inside spread Also i went to help track and we didnt find the buck. Most likely a brisket shot from the story and blood.

Well im a little tired but can someone point me in the right direction of the 2020 harvest thread...whats it under?

This would be a total of 11 points for team 4. Goodluck team im done lol

Yes he is, best dog ive ever owned.

Better to be lucky than good... Story will be in the harvest thread when i get to it. Biggest buck to date!
