Chef Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This thread beats the facebook group. Between the QDM Gods, Stupid Questions and other opinionated garbage this place is great. Surgery was Monday and I go to Dr's Tuesday- find out what kind of monster resided in me and what I have to do. One of my questions will be if I could sit in a blind and shoot a muzzle loader. I sure hope so. However, I might have a tussle first. You sound like a serious fighter man.... I hope u get one with the ml Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Field_Ager Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Went for a walk earlier to check cams and take down umbrellas. No hoof prints in the snow. The opener has the deer on lock-down . Yesterday my guest hunter got himself a 4 pointer. He was happy. His 2nd Buck I believe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about 1/3 the height that it was before we started getting frost and the deer started hammering it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I thought this morning was going to be a bust and I had no intentions on seeing a deer let alone bagging one, at 8:30 I turned around and this guy was on a bee line about 80 yards out, I mouth grunted to stop him about as loud as I possible could and he finally stopped after the second attempt,, but of course he stopped behind a bunch of tress, so I settled my crosshairs on the next opening and when he stepped in, I shot, he then bolted and I fired again at the next chance really just a wing and prayer shot, he finally stopped about 150 yards out and stood for a few seconds then bolted out of sight leaving me not knowing if I had hit him or not, at which point I rushed down from the stand and did my best to find the last spot I saw him standing as I got closer to the spot I saw him about 40 yards away down and out....Yippie!!!! Even though no smile in the picture it sure was a good morning... I even have him earlier on camera..You should smile more Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggamefish Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This morning was a bust!! I was out of the stand by 900. Had limbs falling and just wasn't liking the wind. I went out this afternoon and before I had my gun up I had a spike horn in front of me. I thought " Its going to be a good night" About 400 I start hearing something behind me. I look back and just see horns. As I start to swing around he jumps and ran 10 yards stops and looks back. It was a quick shot and it was true. Lungs and heart. 60-70 yards dash and it was all over. Didn't want anybody to see the identity of the deer!!!!!!! 27 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Hoyt Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Great day for me. Didn't feel like going out since I'm fighting a head/chest cold, but had a feeling that I should go out. Was walking to my stand and was out for maybe 10 minutes if that long when I kicked up a deer in the thick stuff. Once it got into a opening I see it has antlers. Raise the gun and let him have it. Ends up being a decent 8. Really big body and a screwed up rack. Right side was perfect even with his ear, the left side had a split brow tine and the main frame went straight up and forked off 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Today was typical...nothing until dark and walk home I Kick out 3 in upper plot...hunters are gone now ...hopefully locals have buck tags filled and deer will relax a bit by Tues....Hoping smaller guys took out a few hunters and Couple of bigger boys were smart enough to hide...To be honest really hope most big doe have hit the ground. Those could start a reset on movements for next season. I have had plenty of time to think on next season changes. Oh...upper field oats/ grain was demolished over night. BIG CONGRATS TO EVERYONE THAT CONNECTED SO FAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
