2008, thanks for making me feel old.

 

JUST A THICK STUD of a buck!

 

Oh my!!! Life goals right there! I’ve been trying my butt off to break the 170 mark.

Great bucks fletch!

 

Kicking myself in the ass. I didn’t get up to hunt this morning like I planned. I was up for about 20hrs the day before and just couldn’t do it. I did have to drop my son off at school to help my wife out but after that I went out to breakfast. Saw deer plastered all over the road and a nice 8 walking along the road. We had a decent frost this morning. Dang I’m mad.

 

I know how you feel Ash! Didn't go yesterday afternoon because of wind and snow. Field across the road four does were being chased by little buck. Field behind my house my biggest buck was there with does. Now I caught a head cold when I should be hunting.

 

Seems most people like them. Son treats his like a truck. Keeps snow tires on it year round. Fourman for a crushing crew that travels around to different pits. Has a couple year old f-150 but he's always driving the outback. I drove it a few years back when they moved. I was the only one that knew how to drive a stick shift. I was impressed how good it still drove and was the easiest and smoothest manual I ever drove.

 

Finally got a good hard horned pic. of him.

 

I mean I think I'd target him brother....he'll go north of 100" for sure LOL

That type of buck will keep ya in a stand!

 

Get well soon Farmer Rick and get back in the stand

 

So far my plans haven't worked on him. Neighbor owns the woods he comes from, can't hunt him there. Pop up blinds on edge of plots deer learned fast to circle down wind of them. I do have a tree stand 200 yards on tree line north of there. Might try decoy there with a west wind. North wind I'll try just laying out a sleeping pad and hide in the tall weed edge and use crossbow.

 

I finally got a chance this afternoon to get out. My cameras on the farm I typically hunt have been slow so I am trying some public land this afternoon. Just got sat up on a pretty nice oak ridge, but the wind is pretty swirly so we will see what happens.

Excellent good luck!!!

 

I have had good luck hunting edges and open fields from a bale blind. I have shot deer from them within hours of putting them out. We have a lot of hay ground and they don't look twice at them. Just a thought. Good luck!

 

sounds like my debacle a couple weekends ago when my release wouldn’t latch but 10 times worse I probably would have needed a new bow if a buck like that would have came in I would have wrapped it around a tree. Glad your back up and running Littlechief

 

LC I had a bow derail one time. I remember the helpless feeling

Got over my cold fast, wife complained a little about the smell with all the vicks I rubbed on.

Almost made it happen this afternoon. Food plot is like 200 yards by 50 yards. Set decoy in middle of plot, I set up on weed edge about 20 yards away. Just put down a sleeping bag pad to lay down on. Had around 10 does 70 yards away. Close to quitting time the does started running and saw a big rack bobbing around. Two does came running past me and stopped by the decoy. Buck comes walking through 20 yards away, just ready to shoot when he turns and starts coming right at me. Doe runs past me going back where she came from. Buck runs after her. I don't think they had a clue I was there. It was exciting but no shot.

 

Man that sounds like an amazing hunt!
