    Happy thanksgiving to you guys too. Have a good one.
    Good luck out there rb. That’s an awesome view to start the day with.
    Good luck if anyone else is getting out too. Not that we’re on a point shortage but always great seeing more deer down for the year.
    Just started a turkey breast on the smoker. Nice having one breast that’ll over feed a family

    This was a road kill about 25 miles from my house. Reportedly green scored 206 and change. I'm not sure if it's quite that big but I hope he bred every doe in NW Arkansas. [​IMG][​IMG]

    If only 25 miles away go get some pics with you and your bow... :)
    That’s an awesome rack. Size, character, and color. Not sure what part I like the best. Hope he’s got some kids around the area too, would love to have that look spread

    From the looks of that head, it must have been a huge deer. It still amazes me to think that much material can travel through a deer's blood stream in less than a year.

    Hello boyz! sorry been gone up north for the gun season. got an 8ptr opening weekend on Sun @ 0830. Nothing big, probably 115-120? Typical Black River Falls public land buck but good to get the pressure off. I was the only one to connect out of 6 guys. I am blessed this year. Gonna try to get out and get a doe but I have really have to make room in my freezer as it is just packed full to the gills. It won't be for a few weeks into Dec before I can get out. Hope to have some snow on the ground.
    WOW! RB that is crazy! that's cool you got it though. Yeah we are certainly connecting this season. gonna go check my trail cam card some time and see what else has been out there.

    Well, hunted quite a bit over the holiday weekend for a doe. No luck. Saw a ton, but no shot opportunities.

    I'll be back after it next weekend. It'll be shotgun season here, but I've got a group of does behind the house on a daily basis I'll be after.

    Anyone else still after it?

    Hope it works out Dawg. Sucks if that ends up holding you back from getting her. Good luck with it.
    Good luck Rick.
    Done here. Partly nice being able to relax, but gotta say missing it...

    Well track three properties lost blood on second still Can not find my doe! Makes me angry with losing dear I must’ve only clipped one lung. Good blood for 100 yards then two clots and nothing after that. My arrow was hanging out of exit side and can’t find that either.

    Sucks dawg. Happens. I hate that feeling though. Went out for gun opener. Sat half day. Didn’t see anything. My buddy came up the mtn as I was leaving. He was still hunting. Shot a really nice half rack. Happy for him
    I did have another bear come by. Could have shot. I have a video but don’t know how to post. Bad video though. Lol
