Well, I duo love watching her compete. She's a pitcher and is pretty darn good. Luckily I have 11 vacation days left. Sent from my LG-H820 using Tapatalk
I get it. We went back and forth on having a kid over the first few years, but after lots of money and tests, pretty well was told it wasn't gonna happen, so we moved on. We have our dogs and our nieces, good enough for us.... and holy ****, just had a bobcat scream what sounded like 10yds behind me, talk about sending chills.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've had that happen too. Scared the crap out of me. Once out got light, I noticed several kittens They had a mouse and were meeting it go and catching it over and over. One of Coolest hunts I've had. Sent from my LG-H820 using Tapatalk
Yep same here. To much I want to do, and to worried kids would not let me afford them or be able to Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Buck down today! We had a cold front moves through last night that dropped the temp down into the low 40's so I knew it was the day to take off. It's also the last day that my main hunting area is open until December so that was just an added reason. My morning started out rough, I had everything timed out, except for going up the wrong draw... that put me way behind getting back on track.... When I finally got to the area I wanted to hunt, I had the heck of a time picking out a tree in the dark but I finally settled on a tight barked black oak. Going up the tree could have been the nosiest time of my life. Those tight barked trees... I got up and settled in right at legal shooting light, way to late when I'm bowhunting, but I settled in for an all day sit. I had more squirrels around me than I've ever had in my life, as well as 5 or 6 chipmunks so it's safe to say the woods were pretty loud and entertaining. About 9 I had 3 does come in, working along the ridge I was on. The came right up in my lap, but do to the thickness it took forever to get a shot op. Finally the 20 yard doe stepped out,but the 15 yard doe in the thickest stuff busted out... as did the rest... Oh well, I had deer in range. Always a good day. Then about 1030 I see a deer coming from the same area as the does, then I see its a buck, then I see its a buck I'll shoot, then he is in range, stopped at 26 yards quartered slightly to. Before I know it the arrow is on the way and he is running his life away! Then silence... What a rush! When I got down and found my arrow I was pretty nervous. Less than full penetration, broke arrow, broken nokturnal, but just a spot or two of nice bubbly blood. Feeling pretty confident in the shot, I start easing the direction he ran, looking out for blood but not finding any. After moving about 30 yards I hear a deer running away! Oh no! I jumped him I think.. but I know there's no way that deer isn't dead. I decide to go back to my stand and wait a but longer and hope that if I did jump it, it wouldn't go far and I could find it later. Walking back I went up on top of the ridge, I thought he had fallen off the side as he ran. And look what I found along the way! And the hero shot that's not very good..

Just got back from dragging out a small LA public land buck. He ain't much by no means, but we're gonna enjoy eating him! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He's nothing special by no means. He appears to be a 2 year old and dwarfed the 4 other deer with him. The place I hunted is very hard to hunt and fool the deer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Believe that falls under the category of a "Fergie" buck....congrats my man, enjoy the straps....been craving some fried back strap and biscuits for a while now....really need some meat in the freezer....maybe tonight.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yea it does... I plan to split it between my family and an older friend of mine that's not able to hunt anymore but still loves deer meat. Gonna focus on getting my daughter her first deer over the next few weeks. This was my last weekend to hunt myself till Thanksgiving. I'm super excited about getting her back out after a deer again. We could quite seal the deal last year, but hopefully we can this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Here's Tall Boy. This buck showed up on my property Sept. 28th for the first time. Since then I've had over 60 sets of trail cam pics of him all over my property. Last Saturday morning he stepped into my shooting lane at 33 yards, but I couldn't get a shot off. Tonight, he came into a rattling/grunting sequence and spotted my decoy from a distance. He blew at the decoy twice(before I ever saw him). I assumed it was just a doe, but just a couple minutes later he appeared and walked right into my decoy. I shot him at 12 yards. I guess I hit him just little forward, but not much from the footage. Anyways, he dropped in his tracks right there and it took another arrow to put him down. He's easily the toughest buck I've ever shot. He just didn't want to die. It was the most insane few minutes of hunting I've ever experienced.
So, can we get an update on who has taken a buck and what they scored. Also if you have taken a doe yet. Let me know if you have entered them into the scorecard.
