Nice work, no worries about the delayed update. I figured you were either giving it more time or gutting it. If @Johnny Miller posts his buck, we will be back in the lead.
Well he is hanging in a tree in my backyard. Skinned and washed off due to the shot. Went in high front single lung liver guts out back leg.
It's amazing what a difference it makes when broadhead blades are sharp (despite what Sota may think).
BOOM way to go man! season just opened monday in my home state. been busy getting after it. lots of deer hitting the ground around here hope my big guy waits for me, fingers crossed
Good luck. Still have a landowner either sex, and doe. And also prolly go buy one or two county doe tags.
I'll be out this Saturday here in Ohio. Weather should be decent, scrapes are popping up everywhere. Will be home Sunday packing for Oklahoma trip that we leave for on Monday.
Busy week at work. Finished up that fawn tonight. Started doing whole front shoulder bone in roast. Do a rib rub and slow cook it on the grill. Very good off young ones. Also do ribs slow cook in crock pot then season and grill 5 mins. Then one roast and two things of stew meat. Pretty simple process. Tomorrow night doing pumpkin carving. Then gotta help mother in law get set up for wood at house. May go look at new freezer. So i might get out next week. Good luck @buckeyehntr5. And anyone else going out this weekend.
Looks like I will be getting out for my second sit of the season Saturday morning. I am debating going back into the river bottom spot that I hunted the first weekend of October and setting up on the west side of the bedding area. I saw doe and fawn on that side that morning. Most of the time, the does travel that side of the bedding. The problem is that spot has a NNE wind forecast for the morning. An easterly wind will work for that side, but a SSE wind would be better as the only way to access that spot is to come from the north. The deer will be coming back to bed from private land crops to the south. Normally, I set up with a westerly wind right on the edge of the river, thermals make this spot bullet proof in the morning with a W wind. I almost always see deer in this spot and it is my most confident spot on public land. The wind forecast isn't perfect, but I think it may work for the first couple of hours of daylight. I also feel like I may be becoming too dependent on this one particular spot. The other option is to go to different piece of public about three miles away. I scouted this piece about a month ago and found a big community scrape at the bottom of a ridge. I haven't ever hunted this spot, with the wind forecast, I would be coming in from the south along a lake shore. I would be going in blind from this direction in the dark, something I am not a fan of doing. When I scouted it, I came in from the north with a south wind. I should also mention that on this piece, there was some kind of hunting bird dog trials all week from Monday - Friday. The particular spot that I would head into was not supposed to have dogs running through it, so it is possible that more deer moved into this area to get away from the dogs. All the sign that I found was old when I scouted it and I have not had a chance to get back in there recently. This piece of public also has another spot that I want to try, but it is in an area where the dog trials were going on and the best access is from the north on a southerly wind, which I will not have tomorrow. Decisions, decisions.
Spotty service at lease, will update with story when I can. It was epic! Hit those rattling antlers boys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
