  1. The only other I would like to add is when you come up on your " trophy." It is very easy to get caught up in the moment. Sometimes excitement over powers common sense. Step back, take a deep breath, and catch your wit. Think, use what ever works for you, to see if the animal is expired. I always worry about my sons, and hope dad has taught them well, and they use that head of theirs.
  2. Something doesn't add up. His son returned the call at 10:30, and the father told him he had a scuffle with the deer. Then at 12:30, he called park officals, for help in transport. In 2 hours, he didn't know he had been stabbed. That kind of a wound into his liver, he had to know he needed medical attention.
  3. Yep, doe are in thick cover and move under the cover of darkness. Common story here year after year about this time. Last mature does seen here was last Saturday night in the woods. Glands on the rear legs just starting to darken. Some of the does fawns look darker than hers. She nursed her doe fawns to the right of me.
  4. Nice colored pic. I know the the mature ones we have seen so far, are nocturnal. Your lucky to see him twice in the daytime. We see them once a season. The only exception was the 5 1/2 year old, my son harvested last year, he's on the wall.
  5. Nice pic. Is that from a camera or you phone? Hope you won't be late for work, lol.
  6. This may not be the right picture, but to my knowledge , a good size buck was hit over the weekend there. Of coarse, the way they were moving last weekend, there were deer hit all over the state.
  7. Thanks 5.9 cummins. Don't know why people do this? Guess that's the world we live in.
  8. Alot of rumors going around about a hugh buck hit by a car in the Alabama Swamps this past weekend. Anyone know the real story?
  9. Alot of questions to answer there. I can speculate, but that all it would be. I think it would vary, quite a bit, from one side of the state to the other anyways. From what we have seen here, the bucks aren't following the does as much as other years, gone by. Maybe to large of doe pop..
  10. Busted wide open here past weekend. Winds have been strong and have to be played right, but the big ones are on the move. Now's the time to be out there. Breeding is in full bore. The bucks smell is very strong. Hope everyone enjoys this as much as I. Good Luck to all.
  11. My son shot a 126"; Nov.-28- 07. Someone else had shot a slug 1 inch to the left of his spinal cord, about mid way on his back, as the deer was running away. Look like it was healing over. We still have the slug. There amazing healers. Thanks for posting the pictures WNY..
  12. Had a mature 8 pt. breed a doe on the 9th eve, 60 yds in front of the stand. Tried to film but light conditions wouldn't allow. I would say that is when the main rut kicked in here. Mature buck activity has increased all weekend. I don't go by any of that prediction stuff. When I see it with my own eyes, that's when I know it's happening.
  13. There's no question, but what that deer jumped the bow string. That would of been a great shot if he hadn't.
  14. jgsbucker, What is happening? Did deer search ever show up? Are you still looking for the deer?
  15. Both, very nice looking birds with great stories, congrats to both, and thanks for sharing.
  16. We have noticed this in our Winchester ML's. We take a small bronze brush, and clean the breech plug hole every 10-15 shots, or the primers get stuck. Where is the oring located. Ours don't seem to have one on it.
  17. Growalot, do you have any pictures of the corn after the frost? How well did the ears do?
  18. I call myself a turkey hunter, but just have not had the time to get out. So wrapped up in those white tails. Just about sick that the season is flying by and closes this Friday for our region. Anyone want to share a story of their hunt this Fall, at least I can relate to that. Thank you.
  19. Deerthug, looks like an ideal spot, but that corn can hold alot of deer. Farmers in our area are harvesting soybeans, and planting no-till wheat, taking advantage of the nice weather. The corn moisture is still higher then they like, because of late planting, but these days will knock that down. We just got or first frost-freeze end of last week to start the dry down.
  20. Looks like a nice spot. Do deer tend to surface in those openings?
  21. You said your shot was high, Did you get a look at where the broadhead hit. Do you think he's still walking around? I know, been in that spot, it a tough judgement call. Sometimes, that's the type of weather those big boys surface, and it's easy to say that anyone wouldn't take the shot. But, in our experience, they pop out in the worst weather conditions. Also,if you think he's expired, get down wind of the area and use your nose to find him. Once you know the smell, you'll never forget it.
  22. We call'em community scrapes. Always a nice spot to put a cam on. That boys got some nice potential. Scrapes stated popping up here last Friday night. In the blink of an eye, they show up. Starting to see bucks in the open, during daylight hours. It won't be long now. Thanks for sharing the pics.
