    I like our avatar but I feel like our gangsta buck needs some kind of championship belt to go with his attire. Just to make sure everyone knows who they’re chasing this year...:rock:

    I do it for the team. I booked a flight to be home for 40 hours the last weekend in October! Finally getting good updates from home. Some huge bucks are back from last year. Hoping to get points on the board for the squad. My huge potential 2 y/o 12 from last year kept the same frame but added 3 split tines making him a 3 y/o 15. Not a ton of growth on him. Others blew up and have me super excited. But for now I’ve still got elk on my brain. Got extremely close to arrowing this guy 11 am Sunday. Back to the mountains tomorrow after work. They will be bugling better from here on out!!

    Hell yeah! Huge props to you for coming back home to try and get a deer. Can’t wait to see how you do! Good luck getting an elk, maybe next year I can get out west and kill something with you

    Well if you don't get a deer at least you can bust out the canner to put a away some beans for the winter! How do the deer like them?

    To many damn Elk Hunters on this team you lucky bastards! If one of you is a moose hunter I don't think we can be friends.

    I’m hopeful this doesn’t take away any more hunting time from me, but my puppy is ill gentleman. She’s 4 months old and well under weight. Trust me i feed the snot out of her. She had 30 round worms not that long ago but my vet is concerned that it’s not the reason she isn’t gaining weight. He’s very concerned that Winnie has a shunt. That means all the blood vessels that are supposed to lead into the liver bypass her liver and her liver doesn’t function. We’re doing a blood test tomorrow on her liver to see if that’s the case. If that is the case, he informed me the life span is only a year or two. That scares the living s*** out of me. Without medicine she had diarrhea constantly. Say a prayer for my little girl guys. She’s a great dog and I hope she’s healthy.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Tuesday November 12th half day in the morning, and possibly another day before then a half day. My other persona day will be used for turkeys unless I see a perfect weather system coming in...

    Nov 9,10,&11 have always been consistent for day movement for me. Give or take a few days because of weather.

    Benny hopefully they can do something for her. She looks like a great dog! Keep us updated.

    The last two years I have shot my bucks on Nov. 9th and then Nov. 10th and my best friend shot his Nov. 11th. I’m giving myself a good 3.5 days to hunt my ass off at the best time there

    I bumped one of my target bucks an hour ago. He was bedded in the neighbors beans. I walk the fence line on the neighbors side not to disturb the deer in the timber and all the crp I'd have to walk through to get to the spot. Not sure which one he was but he was a no doubt shooter that much I know. He ran from the beans into the timber. I hope I just relocated him to the crp so I can get to my spot monday afternoon. Here are some pics. 1568402955687293030004.jpg 15684029967141954504604.jpg 1568403028994303782773.jpg 1568403060243184700979.jpg 15684030941811033634088.jpg
