Thanks! Glad to be back. Work has been crazy so I haven’t got out much yet but looking forward to participating here more. I’ve got a really good inventory of shooters on my leases but this buck is my #1 target. He’s done nothing but frustrate me for three years. My buddy’s keep telling me to focus on my leases but I love the challenge of public land and this buck in particular given our history. It’s a great problem to have, just gotta figure out where to prioritize my time. Here’s some of the shooters on my leases

Well maybe I wasn’t stupid for sitting through the frozen rain after all. He came sneaking out at about 4:15, I was seriously thinking about quitting a few minutes early as I am leaving for a work tri

He got the pass in bow and then I shot a smaller one.   No pass tonight.  Food it was.  Culver was right, the Barnes expanders tip them over quick. And for Nomads benefit no ATV.   I dragged him 30yds

Love it when a plan comes together!  Buck Down! A solid two year old for here. Passed on two smaller ones before this one came in to 10 feet from the ground. Shot taken at 20 yards. Will post sto

You are so right,good problems to have. I didn't set out any cams this year so i am going in blind. The hilltops i hunt dont have a selection of bucks like you guys have in your area,but there usually is one bruiser around. Maybe more,i dont seem to catch up with them. 
I am going to give some stateland a try here as well. It starts on the Susquehanna river and goes up the whole ridge adjacent to it. There should be some good bucks on that...


Good luck! Trail cams are a blessing and a curse. I’m only running them on about half my properties and I’m about to stop checking them. I run them September to October to get an idea of what’s around and then just hunt. I find they spook mature bucks and there’s something to be said for not knowing what’s lurking out there. My best properties the last two years have had zero cams ran on them. Hunt up high on the ridges in the morning and drop down low in the evenings. Use the thermals to your advantage. River and creek bottoms can be like the highways of deer world, just gotta play them right

Yeah he’s a stud and I think he’s only four! I hunted him once on the ground this year because I didn’t have any stands hung or good trees for a hang and hunt and ended up having a doe basically walk into me and made a scene. I have a pretty good idea where he should be cruising during rut and hopefully I can get a crack at him

So Sod, JK and I pull into the property
This morning and there’s two strands
Of kite string across the driveway. We head into the woods and more kite string running along the creek as far as we can see. We hit our logging road and once again, string running in either direction out of site. So we hunt and on the way out find more string running across our food plot, around the corner and all the way down the power lines. The two strands across the street run all the way down the road.


TL;DR an elderly woman strayed from a nearby home and the strings were left by the search party. Sadly they found her a couple properties over, deceased

That would have been a mess in the pants if you stumbled across her this morning on the way to a stand.

Very exciting day and I didn’t even make it into the woods. My son is sick so I decided to stay home this weekend and give the wife some help. I have a coworker who lives up in New Hampshire this is his first year bow hunting and he has never shot a deer. I’m taking off November 10th to the 14th to hunt at camp and invited him to join. He told me today he put in for the days off and got his out of state license. It will be nice to have Someone at camp and I hope I can get him his first deer

It is very bright here as well. The halfmoon is doing a fine job of lighting things up. Not sure where I will set up this a.m. and not having high hopes for movement,i bet the deer fed all night.

But does that stop me from trying? Noooo way.
