Perfect cool & overcast... and I am sick as a dog. Cane stop sneezing & coughing. I may have to leave to keep from soiling this stand. Plenty activity/chasing/grunting Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Yikes...that sucks to be sick this time of year! Feel better!! ( & its your stand so do want you want but soiling it may ruin the surprise to the deer...just saying!) Sent from my SM-G935R4 using Tapatalk
Great buck Nolan, congrats to ya!!!! He's a stud! Junior what'd yours end up scoring? Why don't you trust the figures, if you need any help let me know, I'm good with scoring typicals, it's the non-typicals that become confusing lol.
After reviewing the scoring tutorial, i definately added some length! Lol...measured each point from the center main beam line instead of the start of the point where the main & point meet....needless to say the score was impressive but the buck definitely wasnt "all that"! Lol just trying to be fair Sent from my SM-G935R4 using Tapatalk
Well our gun season starts tomorrow. Needless to say everything changes for the worse starting tomorrow for my properties; just when it was starting to get good. Deer don't stop running and typically about Thanksgiving the deer leave our property for the year. Cattle pasture doesn't offer much thermal. Like I mentioned before, I can only shoot one deer so after the next week or two, I will be trying for a doe. Only 50 points for the team but better than nothing. Not giving up hope for a buck yet though!
Man do what you need to. The contest if fun and all but it's not a life changer. Bag what you can and take care of your own 1st. Just my 2 cents Roll Tide Roll
Wish me luck. I shot a big one at last light. He fell down stood up spun around ran into a bunch of trees and ran a circle around me and then ran off. I could see the arrow sticking out the whole time. I backed out going home and getting help and coming back in two hours Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Finally recovered the book. It was still alive when we came up to it and we had to finish it off. He was quartering to me a little bit so I hit one long and liver. Tractor about 800 yards and finally found it, pics and better story tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Terrible pics but didn’t get out of woods until 11 pm last night Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
So at last night this deer came out. He was the same deer I seen twice on Wednesday. I adjusted and sat on the down wind side of the same trail about 200 yds from the other night. I was actually getting ready to get down because I was in the lone wolf for the first time and hadn’t quite set it up well. He walked behind some trees and I drew back, I had ranged the open the was coming into at 30 yards earlier. To be honest, I don’t even remember if I used the right pin. He stopped and I shot. I thought he was broadside but later figured out he was quartering towards me. He dropped to his knees and jumped up and ran a circle around me, crashing thru tree. I immediately got down and looked for blood, found it and marked it. Then backed out, went home for more lights and called a couple buddies. I came back 2 hours later and we started. We had great blood at first. We went across 2 properties, got denied permission on one, but picked up the trail on the back side in a corn field. Cornfields rock for tracking. In the corn, we had very fresh wet blood. We knew we were pushing him but forecast was for rain today. We stumbled upon him, still alive but bedded, only 15 yds away He was not wanting to get up. Didn’t bring the bow so had to finish him with my buddies KBar. That was intense. Total distance was about 700-800 yards. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Big nice buck Kenny. Congrat, Great story. I bet it was intense using a kbar to finish him off Roll Tide Roll
