I am with you WNYBuckHunter.......I would be happy to shoot that deer. Interesting rack, mature buck (tough to guess age from the angle), just a cool looking buck....plus I am sure he tastes good!! Yep...send him to my property, and I will take care of the harvesting.

Hondo & Mitch....great job guys! First bow kill and to be able to share that with your son. That is what it is all about.

Crappyice.....its no joke, my brother has other picutures of the target, and there was white belly hair all over the top of the decoy. There was no doubt it was a deer after my brother looked at it, but like you, at first glance he was like..WTF?? I have heard of decoys being gored, mauled, etc...I know it is crazy, but that is why I posted it.

On Saturday my brother called me, and asked me if I had tried playing a practical joke and messed around with his 3-D target. I told him I hadn't, and asked him why he would suspect that I did something to his 3-D target? He said the target looked as though someone had poured blood on the ass end of the target. I laughed and told him that I always carry some blood with me, just to mess with people and then called him a dumb ass....Anyways, he called another one of his friends who mentioned he had the same thing happen to his 3-D target a few years ago, and upon closer inspection you could see where a buck continuously mounted his 3-D target until his junk was raw and bleeding. Looking even closer, you can see where the buck's hind hooves wore the grass down to the soil directly behind the 3-D target. Whatever buck had fun with the target is going to need a few weeks to recover before his "unit" is back in action!!!

That is an awesome buck, I sure hope you get the opportunity to hang him on your wall!! Good luck!

Hondo....what a bruiser! Great job on harvesting a wonderful trophy.

I have found good success VS-1 during the prerut and rut....it is pricey, but it is the best estrus scent I have used. Good luck!

Skyzmine.....I took him in 7H. Thank you for all the replies and best to luck to everyone during the season. I hope you all have blood on your arrows and meat in the freezer!!

I generally have 3 arrow in my quiver

Thanks guys....good luck this year.

Just thought I would add a picture of the 8pt I took on Sunday at about 4:30pm. 15 yard shot, with him quarting towards me. He went about 40 yards. Good luck to everyone this season!
