    @tc racing sorry to hear that bro! Hopefully you get him on cam soon and still kicking or better yet can put your eyes on him on the hoof! Some nice bucks you have there though, hope you can catch up with one cause they're studs!

    Passed on a couple smaller legal bucks, but surprisingly haven’t had any opportunities at a mature doe yet. On vacation all next week and will be out every day. Good luck to all.

    Finally got my replacement limbs for my crossbow. Centerpoint customer service was great about it, easiest warranty issue I've ever been through and just in time for my 2nd vacation! Went out this morning and dropped a doe to start filling the freezer. I'm off the next couple weeks so hopefully I can get my buck down and on the scorecard as well! Just glad to be back in action at this point. [​IMG]

    Congratulations on the doe, but your scorecard entry only has one pic with you, the deer and the bow. I need you to add a second pic with all of those before I can add it to your team total.

    Bad news guys I screwed up. Only took one picture of my doe. Knew I was forgetting something.
    Good news is on Wednesday evening I went and sat in a stand I'd been saving for an evening hunt. After pulling an all day sit Monday and all but 2 hours Tuesday afternoon and not seeing a single deer I was not feeling great about my chances. Sat down around 2, saw about 20 different grey squirrels in the span of an hour, played on my phone for a bit...around quarter till 4 I knew there was only a couple hours to go for the day and still hadn't seen a single deer. Not even a flash moving through the timber. A little after 4 I said what the hell, pulled out my grunt tube and gave a few fairly loud buck grunts. I hear some leaves crashing behind me and look over to my right expecting more greys when a doe pops out. 10 yards directly to my right. I pull my range finder out of my pocket as she takes a few more steps and at this point she's directly below me. I wrap all my stands in camp burlap to reduce visibility and she's right under me so close I can't even see her. I hear some more crashing and look back over to my right and in walks in an 8pt doing his best creepy stalker strut. I wait till he looks away and get a range on him, wait till he looks away and drop my range finder and turn to shoot, he looks down and I let him have it. 30 yards later and a lot of blood lighter he crashed down for the last time. I'm boiling his skull today then I'll get him measured up tomorrow but the good news is I took plenty of pics! [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Pretty uneventful past couple weeks for me, unfortunately. Have seen a lot of rut activity recently, but all young/smaller bucks...nothing worth bending the string on. This past weekend was a bust for me as I didn't get to hunt at all, had a wedding to attend one day and a birthday the next. Next weekend is out opening split of duck season, so I will see how that goes and hope to get out o some evening sits after getting after them ducks/geese in the morning. Hope everyone is well and good luck the rest of the season!

    been a pretty dismal season thus far. my wife has recovered from covid just in time for our season to end. I still have our rifle season and late season to bow hunt. I'll try and pull off a miracle.

    Sorry team I've been MIA, been having some extremely serious family issues. Got this one yesterday on public hunting land at 1230pm. It was 15mph winds. I spotted him and with the wind from him blowing to me I stalked him ,he bedded and then when he laid his head down and fell asleep, I stalked up to 20 yards and shot him while he was asleep. He is my 1st spot n stalk buck. He was absolutely skin & bones. I'll get the score posted later.

    Congratulations guys, @bloodrunner13 @Lady Forge! Way to grind and get it done, even through tough times! A little positivity like this goes a long ways, hopping things turn around for you, @Lady Forge!

    I haven't gotten out much in the last couple of weeks with work being crazy, family stuff, and out first split of duck season open. We close for two weeks before starting back up, so hopping to get back out in the deer woods then.

    Well had the big one come in, I was roughly 25ft up the tree and he was 5 yards at the farthest, problem was he walked in facing straight at me so I had no shot, then I tried to shoot him at 5 yards cause I was afraid he was gonna get my scent and I missed ... I shot over his back, good thing is he didn't spook bad just trotted off 15 yds , looked around and then just walked off. I stayed in the tree till after dark to make sure he was gone from the area and not spook him climbing down and walking out. I probably could have waited till he had gone maybe 5 more yards, so I did rush the shot some, oh well hope he makes it thru the next 4 days of gun season.

    Same here, sorry I’ve been out of touch as well! Work has been crazy and I was redoing a new duck boat in my spare time and chasing ducks whenever the free time allowed!
