Took this buck Thursday evening Nov. 5th. Not a monster by any means but I hadn't been bowhunting in 5 years. Took the picture from my stand about a half hour before and thought how nice it was to just be enjoying the view.

Nice view, nice buck, our gun season opens this Sat, I usually don't have the time or patience to bow hunt, would like to try it someday but haven't yet.


All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.

Great view, great deer. Congrats! I've got my eye on a big one but he didn't get that big by being stupid. I've never gotten any pictures of him during the day. I'm guessing he's 5 1/2 years old, really big body, mainframe 10 pt with a kicker on each of the G2's.

It will be interesting out there this weekend with the wind that they are calling for.

I also had a picture from behind the house here of a doe with a spotted fawn, and the picture was taken Wednesday.

WE have some whoppers on game cam pics. Of course, haven't seen them since the rifle season started and I haven't had that much time to hunt..


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.

Nice buck, and a beautiful view from your stand. Good job.

My wife loves to hunt deer. Opening morning last year she filled three tags in ~30 minutes.
Her old stand was getting to the point that it wasn't safe, so I built a new one for her last month.

She seems happy with it. Tomorrow is the opener here. Hopefully she'll get some blood on it.

Thanks Guys. Yeah esshup I have trail cam pic's of a couple of maybe 140-150" deer. But I had a staring contest with this buck that morning(And lost ,of course) So when he came back that evening and presented a broadside quartering away at 19 yards i succumbed to the urge. No regrets very enjoyable evening on stand.

We have so much CWD in the herd here, that a lot of people won't eat them any more. Our dog vet told me about six years ago that he would no longer eat deer due to CWD.

The wife stayed warm and dry in her new condo stand on a windy and wet opening morning. Too bad for Mr. Buck.

RAH , That is a messed up rack for sure. Pretty cool that you caught him on trail camera beforehand. You happy with your Reconyx Cameras?

Had one Reconyx trailcam develop a bad motherboard. Sent it in and they repaired at no cost. This was my only issue with either of my 2 cameras over several years. The other brands that I have had were disposable items. I do recommend Reconyx as my judge of a company is how they behave when something goes wrong (mechanical things break). I recommend Ravin crossbows over TenPoint for the same reason with the latter having a limb delaminate and the service guy saying that I had to buy new cables and string before he could repair it even though the bow had only been used a couple seasons. I also like the Ravin engineering better, as well as the hair-splitting accuracy.

I'll second that on Reconyx! I will add that it is my ONLY cam that doesn't regularly catch only a nose or butt. Somehow it's the only cam that ALWAYS gets the entire animal in at least one shot. They're expensive and it sucks, but I'm at the point now I'll just not buy another cam before I buy another brand.

I have heard a lot a good things about the Reconyx. Other than price. And I have had my share of throw away cameras for sure. I've had pretty good luck with Bushnell's got one on it's fifth year and the battery's last an entire year.But wanting to try out a reconyx for sure. Thanks.

The young guy in the pics with me is Josh Coronado. He showed up with my Grandson over 10 years ago, They are now 21 and Josh is one heckuva hunter. My deer had more mass and points but his was wider by an inch and taller. Both had huge bodies.

Zep, they are all healthy this year and I don't know what they are eating. Last we had a booming acorn drop and so saw virtually no deer so not much to compare. This year their bodies are much larger with zero acorns. Forbs, yes there are some but they are hitting the corn hard. That is, when the pigs don't get there first. And, I am butt deep in pigs and am rooting for the coyotes to get the small ones. I have at least 3 separate bunches that run the deer off from the feeders plus all the lone boars. When deer season ends pig season will begin in a big way for me. I shot one boar the other day that ran off and I didn't even bother looking for it. My Grandson and Josh trapped about 20 a couple of months ago and they were loaded with ticks. I spray down when I leave the house..
