I'm so f****** dumb. I've been trying all day without any success. Do I need to be in web mode or Tapatalk mode? The other thing is I don't see three dots before reply.

 

When you gotto reply do you see a plus sign next to the quick reply at the bottom?

No. My screen stops at end. There's nothing below it that would allow me to reply. Did you pay for Tapatalk? I did not. Perhaps that is my problem.

 

Wish I would've seen you were gonna be in Aberdeen, that's only 20 min from us.

 

That woulda' been cool.

 

One of my Amish buddies arrowed a monster this evening. Got to go look for it in the morning. I think he hit it high in the shoulder, lots of blood but he kept going up and over hogbacks... I had a tiny doe go by, but no ethical shot opportunity.

Going back north tomorrow afternoon.

 

9:20 this morning. Mid 130s 4.5 year old 10 pt standing broadside at 30 yards. I start to draw back.... Pow! My string comes off my top cam. I about started crying. I'm headed to get it fixed then head back to the stand.

 

Small 4pt at 5 yards this morning. 730am

The day is almost done at work. Just gotta make it through tomorrow. I really hope to have something down this week. Well, as long as my bow doesn't have another mishap.

 

Three more days of work then it's off to Ohio!

 

I believe troy got a buck.

Any updates?

 

Yeah it's on the www.facebook.com/bowhunting

 

Congrats Troy! That is a dandy buck!

 

Since my brother is out of tags til gun season, he will be hunting with me today thru Sunday. We are moving in mid morning to try and hang a set to kill the old 7 pointer I've been after. It's windy and rainy, so conditions are perfect. I finally got a couple daytime pics of the old buck headed to his bedding area. We've put a solid game plan together and are going in to kill him today. I sure hope it works. Good luck to everybody else. I'll keep you posted.

 

Forgot to add. Here is a pic of a pic of the 7 pointer. Sorry the quality is poor.

 

Dandy old buck I sure hope you get him!

 

Sorry guys....Shot him on Monday evening and was supposed to be back at work Tuesday (took day off Monday cause it felt right). I've been working late hours all week to catch up but it was worth it! I'll have to compile all the details but I do have the measurement breakdown and he scored 129 7/8. I'm no professional scorer but I followed the guidline so it should be accurate. I will post all the measurements tomorrow and the official pics so we get credit. My big focus is putting together the outline of all my footage so I can get it turned it for next weeks show.....lot of work for a hobby!...but I LOVE IT.

He came in from behind me, tending a doe. and started making a rub. Then walked out in turnip patch and munched for a bit. After what seemed like an etermity he decided to push the two does around and presented me with a 37 yard shot. He ducked just a tad so I would say it was about 3 inches higher than what I would have liked but with the madness and self filming I was shocked I pulled it off.

This deer we named Skyrocket. He didn't grow much from last year as a 3.5 year old so though I know he doesn't have great genetics and we have a few bigger bucks on the property this was the one I wanted. He's a mature buck that I have history with...makes it that much more rewarding!

 

Great buck Troy! I almost had another buck for us tonight, but he wouldn't come closer than 80 yards. He looked to be a mid 130s 8 point. Hope tomorrow he comes in a little closer.
