I believe that. I think part of it is you can get away with a lot more movement and sound on windy days so they are easier to hunt

I think they implied that bucks were on their feet more during a windy day, not so much that they were easier to hunt. There were actually 3 factors that dictated increased movement. High pressure, cold, and wind.

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

Holy DoeZilla…….

 

Biggest I killed weighed 168 dressed. She was a horse. Of course it fell down a deep ravine of extremely thick stuff. I had to use my leather belt to drag her and it broke on me. Several stops for the dry heaves....and eating snow to quench my thirst....I finally got her out.

Ha!  Further proof that hunting is not just hero shots!

That's just about what we have found in Tioga county and Bradford county- Pa.- at least the areas I hunt. We have probably weighed 50 does from those 2 states over the last 15 years.  Our adult does tend to go 90-105, 110 to 118, and 125-130 field dressed. Never have we aged them, but you can almost age them by weight. Haven't weighed any that were heavier, although I suspect I shot one 25 years ago that might have pushed 145.
Have to ask, How many of those PA deer did you the chest girth chart on?

Several years ago i was posted when we did a drive with some friends. Some deer came out and walked past me at 50 yds. I only had a buck tag,and i saw the first one was a doe. The next two looked like fawns behind her,so i relaxed. Turned out the third deer was a six point 1.5 year old,he looked like a baby behind that doe. Biggest one i have ever seen

Shot this big ole girl in Nov of 15'
A group came in busting over a hill behind me and I took her first. He ran off downhill at the shot and stayed around for a while so I dropped him as well. She made him look like a dwarf!88a247426c1b51dac83d7b52cba095eb.jpg

Damn Cynthia- I don’t know what to say except I’ve been told we are only given what we can handle. You are one strong ass person so clearly you can handle more than most! Prayers sent

I processed the bigger doe I shot saturday and she weighed in at 140 field dressed. I was thinking she was going to be at least 150 but I’ve never weighed a doe before. Does anyone else weigh their does? If so, what’s an average doe weigh? I shot a big one last year that I got 60 pounds of meat off but I didn’t get a dressed weight on her.

Actually, I used that years ago on a couple of deer. I probably wasn't doing it right, but I came with unbelievable weights. Probably should keep using for bragging purposes!!

I am soo sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you. I pray The Lord comforts and strengthens you, your husband, his sister and your brother thru this time and season. What happened to your husband's BIL? Did he fall out of a tree?

Tough year for sure....but you are one tough cookie. May the solitude of the woods ease your burdens and clear your mind.
