My buddy just killed a nice 8pt, while looking at him he noticed a scar high on the shoulder. Last year he shot a buck on the same trail, same stand, hit was high, never found it. Well when gutting him sure enough he found a 6" piece of arrow still in him! Crazy story.

Wow thats so cool! Pictures! Talk about a redemption shot. I was just watching a hunting beast video and they were talking about bucks showing up at certain times and locations multiple years in a row. Long game scouting I suppose.

I'm not going to post his pictures of the deer, it's not my place to post his face or deer but it's a beautiful 8 point. Here's the scar and piece of carbon!

It's a legit thing. And it works. I have stacks of cam videos and photos showing this. And a few dead deer I should add.

I had a 10-pointer I was watching for 3 years...wouldn't show up until late October every year. Not sure if he's still around this year...

[doebuck1234]

After reviewing pics from trail cam i may go out this afternoon.all afternoon pics/overnight

[crappyice]

you stay away from my target buck!

As a result of this exciting news, I have reassessed my plan for this afternoon. I will now be to the southern most point of my property putting “your buck” .578 miles from my stand....he should mozzy over for a sip of EHD water by 5:30. I will need some help dragging by 6:15!

i can confirm this as well.  With my multiple pictures of big bucks at night each year that you never see in daylight and never get a chance at.  lol

Should be up a tree by 3.

[Marion]

Well the smell and noise isn’t bothering the turkeys , got a bunch at 40 yards hanging out making turkey noises.
Edit they just shut the pump down , all quite now . 

That's because turkeys can't smell

I should be in one around 4.30. I am still torn between sitting at a field edge low where i usually see does come out before dark low on the hill adjacent to a swamp or sit at the top of the field in the oaks.... Maybe what i will do is check the oaks first for sign and make my decision then.

I thought about hunting this afternoon but will wait for sunday. Tomorrow looks to be close to 80 degrees. Good day to bang out family obligations.

Go low. Especially if bucks will use the low area in the PM to suck in falling thermals before entering the field. Hunt on the crosswind.

First sit for me in the 3S deer management program

Sitting in a new area in an oak next to heavy grasses on route to water. Hoping To play Dr Kevorkian to an EHD Doe(too soon?). Only buck I’ll shoot is a nice one I heard was in the area and had NO BIZ-ness being here!

HOT with a subtle but perfect west wind.

This is my first climb of the year..here’s what I did wrong. Forgot to tie bottom to top, almost forgot to attach safety harness, dropped my lightweight gloves from my harness and as I type I realize my release is on my bow!!! Always an adventure on the first climb of the season.

In again, same place as yesterday but feels like a little whole different place. Very light wind, quiet. Someone is burning leaves i can smell it. Hope the deer don't mind.....remembered everything today except my field kit with gloves and bags for the heart etc. I do have a knife, so I'm not worried!
