Had an incredible hunt last night. Got up in the stand and seen the biggest buck I know of on the farm with a hot doe. The closest they got was 80 yards. She moved off and bedded in a hedge row. He was so love struck that I was able to get down and keep some trees and brush between us. I got to 53 yards but couldn’t calm my nerves enough for a shot. Drew back 5 times just didn’t feel right. About an hour later and a missed opportunity I managed to hide in a nearby pop up blind. 9 does filtered out at last light and team 1 has 50 more points.
Congrats buddy! We need to get all our points on the board to where we stand. We get Jim and Nebo's scores up we might be in the thick of it real soon!
Down south were just starting to see the young-ins chasing. By the weekend it should be full on lights out chase mode. Caught this new guy on camera last week!
Bad news on that front. I did measure the antlers before I took the deer to be processed. I had all the numbers written down but my wife didn't know what it was and threw it away. So I guess I can only contribute a doe now Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
So you didn't keep the antlers? You could always count it as a ferggie buck Jim if it didn't make the 50 mark.... Pride is a selfish thing... I expected more from you!
It has nothing to do with pride and I am disappointed that you would consider that the issue. I explained what happened and that's what happened. I am to pick up the meat today and I will see if they kept the carcass but I don't think so. I'm not really sure where the pride thing came in. If I were all about pride I wouldn't have shot the animal in the first place. I did think it was a bit bigger when I pulled the trigger but I also knew it was no monster.

Maybe I got it wrong but if you measured it what did it score.. Been on to many teams where a guy shoots a little buck and won't turn it in because it does not exceed 50.. Got me a bit jaded I guess. Its all for fun Jim.. No hard feelings...
No hard feelings what so ever fellow Hoosier. I measured and wrote it all down on a napkin that I had in the truck. I took it in the house intending to add it up later but I didn't and then my wife came along and started cleaning. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
PJ, if the processor didn't keep horns just post up a Fergie score. The processors around keep horns until you pick meat up. So here's to hoping. I usually have at least a doe by now. This sucks.
