    Well guys I was really close from closing the deal tonight, if it would have been 5 minutes earlier I would have had a mid 140 on the ground.

    Summited to the score card 106"
    3rd buck with a bow since 2008
    40 yard shot, he dropped and sadly hit his spine. I was able to quickly take another fatal shot to the heart.
    Now the freezer is looking better and I still owe the Team a Doe.

    I killed my public hunting land doe tonight at 5pm :nana: After 4 hunts on this land and only multiple bucks coming by me and other hunters moving into 70 yards from me, I finally got it done just before the rain moved in this evening and it was nice to have no one else hunting around me ! She gave me a thirty yard broadside shot. Now with my public land earn a buck doe down I can now bow hunt for a public land buck:bhod:

    I’m actually not sure Thwack1. Maybe check with Fitz, or I can do that.

    I’ve bounced back and forth between here and Ohio the last two weekends, gathering intel and hunting some in preparation for our 9 day trip this coming Friday. I feel very hopeful to get a buck on public ground.

    Congrats to Lady Forge.

    Things are really heating up everywhere, get out there and kill your buck as well as a doe if you haven’t already. We truly have a shot at being competitive for the wind this year

    Well I talked with Mr. fitz and I was never actually replaced. So if you will all have me I'd love to be part of the team!

    I actually took him in to the butcher today. As soon as I get the cape back, I'll get an actual score together along with the extra pics to meet requirements to post! I taped him real fast when I got him cleaned out at 143 but I'm sure I had a little overlap.

    Since I'm fashionably late to the game, here is a little about me. I'm from central Illinois. I own a small tract of land to hunt, and I work a crazy 7 on 7 off 12 hour shift as a hospital pharmacist.

    Not my biggest, but happy just the same. Easy chip shot and some meat in the freezer. First afternoon hunt.
    Will upload 2 dif pics and score later this weekend or next week.
    Be safe & good luck! 20171106_230936.jpg 20171106_195808.jpg

    Lol that’s what I’m talking about guys! Congrats on the bucks - I’m currently on hour 6 of my 12 hour sit - almost all of my food is gone and my fingers are going numb - desperation has set in - ha ha still better than being at work though !

    Man guys way to go! I've been extremely picky this year, some say to picky. I've been hunting pretty hard and have had several encounters with bucks but nothing over 150! Hopefully this cold front coming in gets the big ones moving in daylight
