BBD! I coulda reached out and touched him he was so close running by. Go figure been trying to get bucks his size to come in during archery and today with a rifle he comes by at 5 yards max. Almost shot the doe he was chasing too. She stopped and gave me a shot but she was a bit small to fill the tag.

Congrats to all the other guys and girls getting it done today.

More accurate recap of this mornings mess up . Daughter stands to stretch ,I look to the left ,nice buck walking into the field L-R maybe 50 yards , I say “ grab your gun ! “ I have mine up and the crosshairs on him , I say a, “ I’ll stop him ,” Baa, he stops , she doesn’t shoot, after a couple seconds he runs off, I get on him ,shoot, miss .

Now I thought she had her gun on him ,and I was waiting for her to shoot, reality is, she couldn’t find the safety and didn’t even have the gun on him .

Ugh I would have then dropped him , had I known .

Few years ago she got scoped with this rifle and went back to the shotgun , which has safety in a different spot , this year she went back to the rifle , and only shot it once this summer .

Would have been one of the biggest bucks I’ve taken

Our woods have been quiet as far as deer go. Saw two doe at 8am and nothing since. New property owners next door a different story. See two guys walking the property line in street clothes around 930. One with a rifle. Neither had back tags that I could see. A little later a tractor and utility vehicle driving through their field. Then chainsaws. Now what sounds like a wood chipper running for the last half hour. Not the best of opening days so far.

ANTLERS ...... congrats on your huge bear !  Any thoughts on what you’re gonna do with him ? Rug , 1/2 or full mount maybe ?

Well with 2 rugs already in the house the wife said my head will be on the wall if I bring another one home :(

Brother shot a 7 this morning, otherwise turkeys and a lone doe. Spooked a nice buck on drive in. Good luck all.

My uncle who’s a week away from his 70th birthday shot a really nice funky 10 pointer.
