Everybody wants to be a movie star

I only saw one antler pop off. It was at the end of muzzleloader season and I was stalking a buck in a cut corn field. Just as I was bearing down, the buck shook its head and threw the antler. It flew about 10 yards. Quite a sight. I decided not to shoot the buck and he would be something the following year. I think my brother-in-law shot him as a 10 point. Hard to be 100% sure. I could not find the antler in the fading light...so I went back the next morning and it took me 2 hours to find it! The temp was about zero...but I made a fire in the woodstove in the cabin. Here is a photo of the antler as I found it...finally!:rolleyes:

      Guys,
       
      I make and sell taxidermy pedestals made from a special reclaimed hemlock. This reclaimed wood is very unique showing a lot of grains and knots that give the pedestals a one of a kind look. If anyone is interested in purchasing a pedestal please give me a call or shoot me an email. 
      Thank You,
      Jonathan Stabe

      Kind of cool, looking back through last fall's archived trail cam shots. Back in November, I got a text from a hunting buddy saying a landowner saw a buck standing in the middle of the road in the sunlight, around 10 am. Obviously, in love. Luckily, I had a trail cam on a zip-tied overhanging branch not far away. So I drove there, pulled the card, and sent a photo of the buck to the landowner. He ID'ed it and said it was the buck...5 point, no brow tines, tips of tines broken from fighting already. That buck hit that scrape no more than 10 minutes after it crossed the road. I never got a photo of the buck before or since. To me it shows as the rut progresses, bucks get the urge to move more and more in the daylight and ...late morning is potentially as good as early morning on the stand when they are on their feet.

      Hello everyone! 
      This past weekend, I was in the woods doing a little walking around with another hunting buddy, and stumbled upon a Massive Rub. (take a look at the pic). During the early and mid bow season, i snapped about 300 pictures of various 4 pters, 6 ptrs, and 2 really impressive 8 ptrs. (see second pic). So far this gun season, we have taken 3 small bucks (2 spikes, and 1 4 ptr)  off the property. (new hunters wanted their first deer, i know i know let em grow....) The other big deer are NO WHERE to be seen. MY guess is that this rub that i found is from the big boy, and he is pushing everything else off the property. 
      The rub is located in a Hard-to-get-to spot deep in the woods overlooking a tight funnel, with a stream about 200 yards away. 
       
      My question is: How do I go about finding this guy? what are some of your tactics in getting him to show up? I've been in the woods every weekend for the past 8 weeks, and havent confirmed seeing him except on the camera in August. The third pic is right in front of where the rub is. Just passed the first row of trees, is a stream that runs through the border of my property. 
      HELP PLEASE!

      Came back early from my ADK trip to work, joy!   Great time with the guys.  Congratulations to Dominick for getting his first ADK buck, the only one taken out of Moose River so far this year, according to the Ranger.  Stories of a brute 12 point roaming the area had us in high hopes but I never found his tracks.  No snow again makes this area very hard to hunt as usual.  This was Dominick's 2nd year with us and he took the deer around noon and it was his first day!  Awesome trip!  My buddy Mike with his red war pain looks like a bad tan job, and my green war paint make me look like a horrible hulk, lol.  Meet some old friends and had lots of fun!  Buddy Shawn was the lucky hunter who got to help with the drag, left side of picture with me.
