    Lol. Yep. Been there a bunch. My wife always makes fun of me and how I am the "button buck slayer" :) Hey, I don't do it on purpose but they do taste good!

    Low 60s here but supposed to storm around 10am so I’m going to see if the front will get them moving. Probably calling in to work tomorrow, but I’m leaving for Key West Wednesday so tomorrow evening I’ll probably hold off. I don’t want to shoot something, have to back out, and not be able to track it the next day.

    Well, as you already know...I did not get a deer. As a matter of fact, I did not see a deer. This was my 4th time hunting on base here in Arkansas and I have yet to see a deer while on stand. I will say that I keep seeing them on the way to the stand. Lol. So I know they are here. They just seem to be nocturnal right now. We are still waiting for a cold front ourselves. Don't really have one in the next 10 day forecast. Hopefully soon. Good luck to all who are hunting tomorrow!

    Well I didn't go hunting at all today. I did however go up and fill the feeders up and check cameras. I do have several doe and small bucks showing up. It's about to get real good. There as been 6 shooter bucks caught on trail cameras wishing 200 yards of me. I have found a little buck that I want to make my friend lol.... IMG_4054.JPG

    Like I want him as a pet!!! He's too cute!!!

    Well I waited for the rain to quit, went in, swapped my cards, got in my stand, and then a big toad gurgler came, so I got out of there. Its 63 degrees and 83% humidity. The rain isn’t so bad but lightening in a tree stand.....meehhh.

    Anyway, here’s a pic from a buck last year and then this year. I can’t tell if he’s 2.5 or 3.5. I posted a pic of him in velvet back by my mock scrape stand a few weeks ago. I think he needs another year, but I have an itchy trigger finger[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hopefully he doesn’t give me an opportunity then I won’t have to worry about it until next year lol. There’s 3 or 4 other bucks around that are older and have more inches on them. Some border line booners

    Hey guys take a look at captn kirk doe entry on the score thread. Lets take votes on who bets that is a button buck and he thinks people will look down on him for shooting it. Take a look and let me know what you think.. lol

    meat in the freezer. I don’t look down on anybody that legally harvests a deer. Until it gets to record deer, and you hear a story where some old man who doesn’t deer hunt, saw a 190” buck run in to a hedgerow durning gun season, so he got about 8 buddies to drive the property and push it out on the other end.
