I always take the week before gun season to try to bag a buck during the rut. I never see one before that. So, I'm sitting in the stand last Tuesday, looking for a big, juicy doe for the freezer, and in walks the dominate buck of the woods. He didn't walk out. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...0200693051838347_410085487_n.jpg&size=370,641 I could have shot 2 more bucks last night, but I only have a doe tag left. The rut is definitely a little early here in lower Mid-Michigan.
Congrats! my weekend in the woods consisted of one yearling sighted. So, I would say you had a better one!
I take the same week off hooter. So far I haven't had your problem yet but if I do I will try & shoot a few pheasants or possibly stick another doe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Great issue to have. Find some public land in another state close or video a friend. Congrats by the way!! Great deer!
Nice buck! What county were you hunting? I hunted this pass weekend Friday deer were moving no bugs guys though and same as Saturday I got the nice ones on camera at night but nothing during the day. And surprisingly as cold as it was Sunday it was dead in the woods. Congrats again!
I hunt lower Ionia County. My wife's ex-brother-in-law loves me to hunt his farm about 10 miles away. A great transition area.
