I think 7p is low on people's thoughts when it comes to good hunting. That's where I do 95% of my hunting on stateland. There's very good deer numbers in the unit.

Happy Thanksgiving weird not being able to hunt turkey day this year. However one of my friends killed a browless 6pt this morning( @crappyice) . Group is up to 3 bucks so far this gun season. 5 total on the year.

Wind and follow your gut feeling

Walked the last 2 hrs. Didn't see anything. However on my way put driving down the stateland road I saw a big fat doe feeding on the side of the road. I know where about they bed so she is in trouble the next evening I hunt.

Getting dressed to head out for a little walk

Wife's getting out of work early so I'm planning on just going for a walk when she gets home. See it I can find a flathead.

Jumped 2 not sure what they were. Friend saw another buck. We still have a big one somewhere on that stateland brand new rub looks like it was made yesterday. Can tell the deer aren't pressured fresh tracks within 70yrfs of parking lot.

Woke up to my friend text message he was in the driveway waiting. Must of hit snoozer or just never heard alarms go off. Up dressed and heading out the door in 5.

My best spot has a saddle that connects to a bench about 1/3rd way down the hill. Just sucks the deer into it.

Yea I'm really kicking myself for not doing it. From the stories I'm hearing he's had that tall rack for 4 years now and when he was first found on camera he was a 2.5-3.5 already. So we are guessing he's 6.5-7.5 if not older.

Out in the morning for some flat heads

Welcome

What did you have done with the bear?

Story just got better. Someone I know has pictures of him for 4 years 4 miles away. Trying to get them so I can put them up

Can't wait to see what moves in and takes his place. As long as it lives the rest of the year the buck that was shot at from our group opening day should be a bruiser next year as well. That hill I hunt always holds 1 or 2 giants every year it seems like. Just took 20 years to finally get a good shot on one.

Only picture in October he sent that was daylight was the 28th of last year. Everything else is that second week of November or later.

Bot far but can't give a definite answer on that. Probably with a mile. @chrisw my guess is he was using both but when pressure picks up they head deep into the stateland my group hunts. We've seen big ones on this piece before. The guy did state he could never catch up to him during gun because he thought he went nocturnal. I think he just shifted just enough he was in my neck of the woods during gun season.

So a friend posted the picture of me and the buck on CNY big buck facebook. Within minutes someone said they new the buck. Actually missed him last year during bow but had a bunch of trail camera pictures of him. The guy was nice enough to send them to us. Told us congrats and good luck with the rest of the season. So he has th3 last 3 years of pictures of him so we are guessing he's 5.5-6.5 yrs old. Unfortunately I forgot to ask the taxidermist to keep his jaw bone but he said he was all of 4.5 and probably older. Cool little ending to a great stateland deer.

Forgot to take a picture but got the backstraps cut out of my buck from the opener I got 10lbs just out of those.
