those 5 and even mountain lions are not in the same category as the furbearers which are generally not eaten.

I meant sport, not food.

 Crossbow ,  ML is cheating . I sold my ML , I bought it to use in shotgun as I felt it was superior, once we went rifle , I didn’t need it .

Yeah I'm about 30 minutes east of you along route 23, I might be a little higher elevation so totals might be more, I hope not.

Just wouldn't shoot a button this time of season. This is my opinion and I'm not bashing enjoy the meat it will be great.

And here I thought any buck was a “Good Buck” in your eyes?

You're damn right any antlered buck is a good buck.  "Good" is like beauty ,it is in the eyes of the beholder.

I'll give you that, but the 7 month old, less than 3 inch "antlerless" ones are better yet, especially at dinner time.

Hence the "beholder" description.  Some don't get it but that's fine, they are trophy hunters and in it for the antlers.  

How anyone can shoot a deer and not be thrilled with the meat is beyond me.........

I’m in.... convinced the mrs that I needed to do important research on pre- vs post- storm deer movement. I’m up a tree ( rules of the program) with tracks all around.



28 degrees, nice light breezy in my face hoping that [mention]The_Real_TCIII [/mention] (gulp!) is right!!!

Say it with me [mention]The_Real_TCIII [/mention] knows about deer movement AFTER the snow.

I let one fly at a doe at 35 yards earlier. Hit her back-she was walking slowly and I decided to not try and stop her as they have been quite jittery as of late. Hindsight that seems like a mistake.
After finding my arrow (below) that passed through but fell out 25 yards after hit and talking to the guy who manages the program we decide I should follow the tracks and see what happens. 200 yards later I jump her from a bed. She looks unfortunately strong. I will head back around 9:00 tonight to see what I got.


Good spray convinced me to keep pushing track

Bed she jumped from 200 yards after hit

Good luck, Crappy..At least you have great tracking snow, even if she stops bleeding..
