2011 Harvest thread

Is that Elmer Fudd's shotgun? lol. Never participated in a deer drive and never would.

I kinda missed the part about my 870. Its the express model- so the barrel is matte finish and the stock is a cheap hardwood, beech? I've killed some nice bucks with it though including the one I use on my profile. It gets abused- I use it when tracking in the ADKs- it spends a lot of time in the palm of my right hand covered in snow and spruce needles.

Nice nuts, I mean buck.... As far as the 870 goes, I hated my cheap wood look which after a couple seasons looked worse than my dads 50 year old 870. So I got the synthetic camo parts for 60$ will never wear down, light, camo, and take a beating. Worth every penny I spent !

Doe down on opening morning. then shot a doe just before dark on a over grown feild on thanksgiving. didnt feel good about the shot it felt really high so i waited about 3 hours and went out with my friend, couldnt find her, went back to where i shot and noticed i was looking in the wrong spot so i walked down to the correct spot, and i could smell her. You know how you can smell the blood or almost a smell that dosnt belong, well i smelt that and knew she was around somewhere, so i took a step back and fell. I got back up and looked, and there she was laying there, i tripped over her. So theres two doe down already!

While certainly not the biggest deer I've ever gotten, this spike was important to me to fill the freezer, so that my family would have meat. Been laid off for what seems an eternity, and this buck will help us along.

[TreeGuy]

13bvet, nice job on the meat, glad u were blessed with some freezer filling goodness ! Enjoy them steaks !

[dave6x6]

13bvet, Glad for your success. Spoil yourself tonight with a well earned feast. Hope your good fortune continues..

If you need meat, I have an extra DMP tag for 3N (Putnam County). I never shoot does.

I would most definitely take you up on that offer, Biz-R-O-World. I was unable to get any doe permits at all. Thanks, guys, for the encouragement! I really appreciate it.

[biggamefish]

Biz you are the man to do that. Congrats on the doe.

[BizCT]

Every single year I get 2DMP tags for 3N and never use them. I will give both of them up to you, if you or someone else explains the legal process.

I can use my ML either sex tag for the crossbow.

[WNYBuckHunter]

On the DMP you will see an area to sign. Sign it and hand it to the person.

No- growing up we had sheep and rams. We have almost 200 bulls up 2.5 years old on the farm now. I've seen 'em big, and by no means was this buck anything like a ram or a bull, but he would have made the other boys in the locker room glance a little longer in the shower... I bet he'll have a lot of fawns running around next spring- or maybe not and that is why he was the way he was. Never before have I seen the hair worn off the inside of a bucks legs...

Here is the spike buck that I took on the 2nd day of the season. Shot him at 2:30 p.m. 100 yard shot and ran about 40 yards. Not a monster but a trophy!!

[Dave]

Congrats

Congrats on the spike. Enjoy the eats!

[growalot]

After not seeing any thing I filled a doe tag today...not thrilled with the size but 3 came in at 75yrds 4:20 this afternoon...I picked biggest of three and dropped her in her tracks with a high shoulder shot....After seeing no deer for a long time and getting buck fever on the biggest buck I've seen on our property...she is a confidence builder and nice tender eats....I really thought a small mature doe...for the other two I knew were fawns and they wouldn't leave her even when I climbed down and was walking to them...they stayed in the woods and watched me cleaner her ...guilt...guilt...guilt

sure wish i would see something . my brother in law got two does my sister got a five pointer . i havnt seen nothing but 2 tails . oh wait i saw a raccoon today diging in the stream .

[twsted21]

@biggamefish, my shot went in left side of her and only made it to the second lung, no pass thru which is the reason im getting rid of the rage broadheads. They leave a nice hole but the penetration sucks on them.

[Nomad]

Trying to post a buddy's buck..... Not good at this !

Its really really nice though.
