Was debating if I should hunt this morning but the wind wasn't up yet and it wasn't raining so I went out. Had a buck pushing a doe in front of me right at shooting light. The two fawns from the doe ran right under my stand. The doe and buck went south and never saw them again. About 7:45 AM a buck came through that I thought was a good 3 1/2 year old 8. He walked to within 15 yards and I stopped him. Right before I released he took a step causing the arrow to hit a little back. He didn't run off just sort of walked off to 50 yards or so and stood there looking around. After a little while he walked/trotted of and I lost sight of him at about 150 yards. I got down and checked the arrow it had good dark blood on it (liver blood?). I backed out and let him sit for a couple hours. During those couple of hours we where getting thunderstorms which washed the blood trail away. I went back with my neighbor to look for him. We walked to the last spot the I saw him and together we said there he is. He was laying dead about 30 yards away. Sorry for the long story so here he is. Not the biggest buck on my place and maybe should of let him walk but to late for that now.

Took my nephew on his first deer hunts this weekend. He was just tagging along learning the ropes. I think he was more excited than me till it came time to gut it.

Molly just kept saying WoW!

I will get a lot of burger out of it. Now to kill me yearling for steaks.

Great deer, Mark! Good thing you knew where you had last seen him - losing the blood trail could have made it really tough.

Great looking deer, John! With all those beer cans in your truck - obviously just pre-season target practice grin - it's no wonder you got him!

Funny story about your nephew. I assume the gutting process was a little rough for him from what you're saying. My now 11 year old daughter refused to eat deer meat for about three years because she was with me that season when I shot and then gutted a big doe. She loved venison up till then but seeing the process in action was a bit much for her! Now she's back to eating it like a champ and doesn't even mind the gutting process any more. Just have to expose 'em to it and they'll eventually learn to appreciate the whole circle of life biz!

Great looking deer. I have had a great season myself. I have harvested 5 deer so far, which I am grateful for. Funny thing is though, I took Wed. and Thur. and Friday off of work to hunt a spot with a beauty of a buck rutting in the area and he shows up for a modeling show in front of my cam at 7:40 in the morning Monday. I just happen to be stuck at work that day. Here is a pic of him. I am more of a meat hunter, but he definately got me excited. The neighbor about a half mile down the road has him on cam at a feeder that he has out just for wildlife viewing. I havent heard of anyone getting a big buck in this area so hopefully he will make it until next year.

Wow! That's a great looking deer! I am generally a meat hunter, too, but I think I'd have to take a shot at that bad boy!

Just curious - I just noticed that the title of this thread that shows up on the list is NOT the title that shows up once inside the thread. Any of the mods know what that is all about?

It seems that in a reply, you can also change the subject/title. Gets a bit confusing once it happens wink at least for my simple brain. It all goes in the original thread, but it looks like new ones confused. See how I did it!

I admit I'm not the man I used to be. Tomorrow is the second gun season, and I think I'll just sit it out. 10 degrees w/snow and wind doesn't appeal to me anymore. The first season, I passed on 3 bucks, took a big doe, and the wife killed a button buck. We have enough meat, so I'd just be antler hunting. I pulled the pistol out on one about 15 yards away but didn't have the heart to drop him--big body,tall, narrow, reddish-colored rack. He could be pretty nice in a year or two. Biggest I saw was probably 130. One of my student's father killed a double drop yesterday, but it was by no means huge. Other than that, I've heard of few nice ones killed this year.

130 is one heckuva nice buck here. 150 lb body is also pretty big.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I was trying to get a pic of a snake that obviously had tweety bird for lunch. It was a still shot, just at the right moment, and no way could that bird react. Pretty cool! I tapped on the pic from my Nexus 7 to save it, and all kinds of warnings went off about being attacked by an Android Virus.

I tried to find the pic again from a puter, but no-go. I just wanted to show it to you grin

One of my neighbors just sent me this photo of a buck he took while hunting on me a few days ago. Said it field dressed out at 190 lbs.



"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

OK hoping to get this thread back on track (plus give todd a break). Sat in the tree stand last night over a bean plot and only saw 2 fawns. Thought with the cold weather more deer would of shown up there. Well lets say I had enough of the cold that this afternoon I going to sit in the redneck stand with the heater running. Yes I getting softer in my old age.

You slap 'em around a bit and then toss them at your nearest buddy!

Loved that video, Scott! I'm not afraid to go after snakes, but man I don't like 'em!

Well the hunt is over here. We as a group got 12 total with 15 hunters. My boy didn't get one on his first hunt. Next year.

Few pictures.

The small six point buck I was lucky enough to take this year. Single shot 12 gauge shot gun.

Cheers Don.
