Too thick to shoot thru.  Doe are a game time decision Tonite.  Been seeing bucks here so hoping for one in the ninth. If that 4 pt comes out he's in trouble though.  Or anything bigger of course

shoot stuff after today please and ty

Out in the deep Hole stand, getting burned out trying to shoot a mature doe!

The freezing rain drove me out of my new ladder stand in the woods.  I am in the box blind that I moved over by the corn now.  Hopefully, they will come looking for a shot of carbs around sunset.

Bears nose is actually broken, can move his nose. Getting a shoulder mount with closed mouth. 160 dressed is Offical estimate. 

It’s actually much more difficult to do a closed mouth mount. This surprised me, but there was a whole thing on it during a recent meateater podcast.

Memo: From the unofficial captain of "Group 1"

Well my archery season is officially over. Heading to New Mexico in the morning for work and I don't get back until midnight on Friday. I didn't see much from the bow stands this year but I'm still pretty excited about the start of gun season.

Activity on the back side of my property looks good and I have left it alone with the exception of hanging a stand and a few scouting walks.

Good luck to everyone trying to get it done this week. I'll be rooting for ya from out west.

Love it. You always make me smile, never change!

Got an unexpected opportunity to sit tonight and jumped on it. Tower stand overlooking a food plot. It's been nice all day and now that I'm hunting, it's raining again...

Hmmm... that's interesting. I've been doing taxidermy for 2 years but I've yet to do any open mouth mounts. From the videos I've watched and the research I've done it seems like open mouth is actually a lot more work. I know most taxidermist charge extra for it. Wondering why they say it's easier. You remember what episode it was? I'll definitely take a listen

Been in since two. I was figuring it see the biggest buck ever since I don't have a tag. Nothing but squirrel so far.

Afternoon sit in blind overlooking plot of radishes. Quiet and overcast seems pretty good for tonight.  Let’s see what unfolds perhaps the snap of a CB. Good hunting out there

Episode 289 I think

[phade]

Relegated to the old barn/livestock pen on our property. Can watch from afar that last ridge and see if anything drops up and over to my partner. Also have some does bedding down in the coolies as they call them here. Doubt I’ll shoot one despite having a tag.

Neighbor in our camp shot a 160” this AM in the wind. Beauty of a buck.

The wind has been relentless here since we arrived Friday.

Daughters Bday party at 5. Truck is packed guns are oiled, brand new lacrosse’s out and ready for the first tracking snow of the year. I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve for snow day eve! Gotta stay and watch Yellowstone then getting on the road.

Episode 289 I think

Congrats on the bear Hockey! At the risk of derailment, I believe they were saying it is less common and there are fewer forms out there. I’m some cases, modifying the form may be necessary to do a closed mouth if the form was designed for open mouth.

I have two open mouth bears (both taken in the ADKS). One is a rug and the other a half body mount. I don’t recall even seeing a form back then with a closed mouth.

I hope you get to actually weigh it. In my opinion it is worth going to buy a scale to know for sure what it weighs.

Congrats again!

Bills are rolling the Jets so no need to be on the couch with this game in the bag. Was raining at the house and it nicely turned to snow as we got to the property. In the blind looking to #sendit!

Now that I think about it, i think they were referencing rugs, so maybe that matters?

I wanna say 295 or 296. It’s just in the beginning when they’re bull shitting.

Yep that’s it. Steve was going to get his first rug with a closed mouth and he really liked it. His local guy said they don’t have forms for it and he has to modify it so it’s less common.

I had an awesome day today . I drew back twice on an eight.. I couldn't get him to stop . He and a doe zipped by me 5 times before the finally went behind me and caught wind of me . What a day  lost Count how many days I was out and seen nothing . I finally saw deer and drew on them . Just couldn't get hi. To stop I whistled and blah at him  nothing he wanted that tail.
