LIVE From The Woods 2020 - Let's hear stories and see some pictures!

[crappyice]

I'll write up the full story later. Still trying to settle down. Basket case of emotions today. The long story short on this buck.... I missed/hit a tree 2 years ago. Didn't see him last year. Had an arrow deflection this year and hit him in the ham. Saw him alive a week later. Dad "Duke" finally put the old boy down this am. I can honestly say I'm happier he got him than me. He deserves it. 71years old and laying em down !

Some brutes hittin the dirt.   Congrats all.   
 

I think the story behind Dukes buck will be told from generation to generation.   That buck was meant to be hanging among that family.

When I watched him walk away couple weeks ago, with a giant hole in his ham, I remember saying multiple times he was 2' wide outside....... I'm certain somebody can very that. I'll put a tape to him at some point. Today is not the day to measure. It's not about the score

Oh I agree, I could care less about what he score’s  but dang he is wide so I  was very curious on what he was. Awesome buck congrats to dad duke again.

Great buck your dad got treeguy.

Great buck turkeyfrathers/Jay.  I'm really happy that you got that buck. Enjoy that bourbon when you get home.

Long story short, second doe came to 15 yards and I couldn’t resist, dads was at 7:15 mine at 7:30. Dad shot his in the neck, mine was a heart shot. 

Congratulations:)

I’ve seen zilch on my 2 morning sits. I’m going to go out tomorrow after the rain stops and try my low fencerow tree (I can only climb about 8ft).  I’m hoping I can at least see something so I can figure out where they are moving.

Congrats to everyone!! Saturday morning my brother saw 7 doe, I saw 3 and a spike and my dad got skunked, not a lot of shots at all throughout the day. Sat evening we all got skunked. This am my dad and I got skunked again and my brother saw 3 doe. This afternoon my dad saw one of the slammer bucks (I ran across once during bow) on his walk into the woods for the afternoon, came across him and a doe bedded not far off the trail, my dad only had a neck shot while it was standing there then it took off with the doe and he didn’t shoot, he didn’t wanna wound it. He called me right after it happened swearing how big a buck it was and how that got his heart going at 72! I told him to hunt as much as possible in this area as I doubt him and the doe are far off. Neither my brother or I shot a doe as were hoping to get our kids with us for a few hunts and take one then.

Got it done.

Wasn't the done I was expecting, but I'll take it.

Thank you.

 

Never had bear before, but I really kind of wanted a rug, now I'll have both.

Anyone got any good recipes?

 

WIndy as hell out here, didn't see anything else move. The wind was so noisey I didn't even hear this guy until he was about 30 yards away.

[Tughill Tamer]

Congrats to all those who connected on some beautiful animals today. Hoping to get back out Thanksgiving day been dealing with a bum leg.

I haven't gotten a bear of course but if I did was planning on making a lot of sausage.  Def was gonna make a bear maple blueberry breakfast and some bear beer brats.  

I've had bear stew before and that was very good. 

Let us know what you make out of it.

Brown sugar, Cumin, salt/pepper let sit sit overnight.  Delicious
