Buddy got a busted up 5pointer who was a real fighter.

 

 

Anyone think there’s any issue with the quality of the meat with this puss coming out of his forehead from a “recent” battle?

Yeah it is alot of nice deer in there

[Fletch]

Just had two doe and two fawn go by 45 yards. None of them had any size to them. I’ll save that tag for a bit more and hope a nice buck comes along.

For those interested: I posted the story about my this morning buck on the 2019 Gun Harvest thread. :  )

[cynthiafu]

So my day was a bust saw the one buck in the morning and then nothing but hunters wandering  around.

[moog5050]

Hunted 3pm to close.   Little buck central tonight.   No does.   Thinking these were the dudes without dates.

Pulled a double with my Brother in law today! 

We went to the back of the property, and sat in my box blind together. 

About 8:00 I see this doe coming along the ridge. 

I bleat and stop her, Tom double lung / heart shoots her at 75 yards. She hunched up and fell over after 15 yards. Perfect. His 3rd deer ever.

We decide to wait an hour or two and see what happens. Well 15 minutes later, along came this buck trailing Tom's doe. 

He stopped in the exact spot that Tom shot his doe. I took the shot with my Hawken, and he disappeared. I thought I missed.

We went down to check it out, and there he was, 30 yards from where I hit him.

My first muzzleloader buck!

[grampy]

Another day in the woods. Still very little going on here. Saw four doe. No bucks. Very few shots heard.

[turkeyfeathers]

Dark to dark. Saw doe at opener and closer. No shot on either.  Wooltimate pants n jacket with smartwool kept me warm all day. Never took gloves out of pack. Tomorrow’s another day.

Sat for a few hours till dark. Lone squirrel was the only thing moving. No shots heard at all.

Out of town for the week for work. I will give it another run next weekend.

Yep. Up over the back.

[Hock3y24]

My buck was defiantly locking down his doe, dads buck was cruising looking for a date. They should be leaving these does anytime though

[Lawdwaz]

Had a full day yesterday......10 hours in the climber and never came down once.  I was cold and had some trouble from what I thought was a pinched nerve in my shoulder, hurt it at work on Thursday.  I figured if I climbed down I wouldn't climb back up so decided I'd stick it out.  Saw five 1.5 year old (my best guess) bucks and 7-8 doe.  I wasn't interested in shooting a small buck........I think I was in bed at 9pm and felt whooped.

Today I only sat for a little more than 3.5 hours this morning.  lots of action in that short time, 4 bucks and one of which tempted me.  He was dogging a herd of 8 doe like a rock star!  I'm pretty sure he was also just 1.5 years old so he and the three others got a pass.  I'd guess I saw 14 doe today.

All in all it was a good day and a half........

PS: 3 bucks were shot by six hunter out of our group yesterday, all 8pt bucks.

Getting caught up on all the action since Friday. Went to my camp this weekend in 4W. Had a doe at 15 yards walking to my stand. Sat for 3 hours and then tried to still hunt. No snow and a swirling change every 10 minutes wind. Never put anything up. Went back to main spot I sat in the morning for afternoon sit. Had 4 doe come in just before 4pm all withing 60 yds bit no doe tags for that area.

9 of us hunting and the only buck seen was a spike, taken by a youth Hunter. 2 does taken as well. Hunting locally next weekend and back to camp for Thanksgiving weekend.

Wow, sounds like you had a lot of deer activity. Not nearly as busy here the past 2 days, but I did take the nice 10 point with that Weatherby 30.06. Finally gave it a little action, and boy oh boy is it an accurate son of a ...well...gun. lol

[Cabin Fever]

Got the coffee brewing. I'm sitting here trying to decide what to try today (Hunt #40). At some point, things have to come together for me. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself. Even a blind squirrel is supposed to find a nut once in while...

Could you send me a picture of the 10 pt you killed with that rifle, I’d like to show it to my dad. 

[BigMike]

Morning everyone, getting ready to head out now.. I hunted the past 2 days had a few does and spike come in opening day and yesterday I only seen 2 does and a button buck. The button buck and little doe came and bedded 30 yards in front of my stand yesterday morning. Threw a few grunts at him and he was shook lol. Good luck to everyone going out today supposed to get a few inches of snow here in 4G.
