nov 6 morning hunt was cold puddles had ice on them and the woods was very quiet light breeze out of the west did not see one deer heading back out in a little bit hunted 6 to 930

so far this season i have hunted just about every weekend and atleast three nights a week missed a nice 8 pointer had a few smaller bucks 6 point three differnt 4 points spike and hardly any does... i set up a mock scrape that i have been hunting near and noticed it has been kept clean since i did it just got my hands on a trail camera starting november 3 i have 16 days of nothing but bow hunting. good news is my neighbor seen the big 8 !! 3 days ago at around 2 in the afternoon!! i hunt from dark to 10 or so then in the afternoon from 1 to dark ( dark is when i go in and when i come out) so im alittle behind in this post so to catch up nov 3 saw 1 deer far off and nothingin the afternoon nov 4 saw nothing all day noticed scrape was clean night before some point nov 5 saw no deer grey fox in the afternoon set trail camera up by mock scrape

thanks sounds goood im going to have to try some squirrel

is that arrow through its mouth? nice buck bro

the kid never said he shot the first one read the post... everyone that has a picture up states here is one i shot......

how do you cook them things up to taste good ?

best advice is get out there be scent consciences not moving around sit down and stay in the same spot for a few hours. if there is deer in the area you will see them....

you must not be in new york state?

right

you guys actually watch your watch ... seriously your telling me that if a 10 point buck walked in front of you at 6:27 two minutes after " legal shooting" you would let it walk? my ass you would !! by the way congrats on all the deer shot keep the pictures coming nice checking in everynight to see if anyone shot something...

my guy cuts umm cut for 75 dollars crazy but he explained it... his electric bills for the coolers are crazy hes on a budget and he is paying 267 dollars a month!!

best way to judge yardage is practice down there there are 3d archery shoots i believe they are called tri county archery great time and realistic shots of all ranges great practice

crazy how the fever hits when you think everything is good and your ready to take the shot. then a fundemental skill is what you mess up on..

not saying its gone but i had alot of time to breathe and steady my self i think i grab my bow handle...... bottom line i choked!!!!

do you think that its possible to for him to come back in to the stand ?when i shot he ran about 30 yards looked back and trotted off didnt seem to spooked but i know this big guys only take one thing and he'll turn nocturnal before you know it!! thanks for the words of encouragement guys

he was there for 15 minutes talked my self right back down waited and drew back when he turned broadside focused and stuck that 15 dollar g5 broadhead in to a old oak tree actually bent the tip of it for some reason !!

set out this morning little lighter dressed than yesterday woods quiet birds chirping squirrels waking up.. great morning look over to the left and i can make out that there was a deer coming right towards me. so i got ready he came in closer and closer bigger and bigger he got at 15 years feeding on acorns turns broadside. i draw back settle in right behind the should and whack !! he runs off 30 yards and stands there walks off and im thinking to my self that whack didnt sound like i hit him!! let him run off about two hours later i climb down to find not only did i miss the deer but i was a good foot in front of him and 2 foot low? i know you all are going to say buck fever but ive shot numerous bucks 6 pointer being a normal best ... went back to the house and threw a couple arrows flew true as could be!! just disappointing usaully only get one chance at a great buck a year. and i normally blow it.. hopefully this year i have three other bucks on the hit list and the one this morning i never seen before so hopefully god willing i will get my chance of redemption!! john

all though with the paperwork if something shows up wierd your going to wait a couple days not a big deal though

its cool when the deer herd is strong here in 3k you have to have 3 perfernces points to get a doe tag some areas the herd is hurting from the coyotes ... dont get me wrong im all for getting youth out there but why was it not like spring turkey week earlier?? doesnt make sense but it is what it is... hope all you youth hunters had a blast

ill trade a 3m tag for a 3k tag... allthough it takes 4 seasons to get one 3k

well said slayer

first year do taste better!!

no need for a compass know my properties well but the cell phone is in my jacket pocket on vibrate

you guys pack alot of stuff!! grunt call doe bleat range finder couple tree hooks good ole buck knife tp in zip lock extra gloves fleece blacava toasty toes bout dozen of them

how about lowering the price back to $45 fir the super sportsmen!! the increase in price and the unemployment climbing sounds like a good idea doesnt it ?
