Man that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

As for me I've had an eventful 2 days. Thursday evening went out for an hour or so after work. Not 45 seconds from leaving the truck I see a deer, wide open 30 yds(I have the slug gun) Pull up, check for buttons and squeeze the trigger. Instead of the thunderous boom and big kick, I get a "crack" and almost no kick. Deer trots off unharmed. All clues point to only the primer going off. [:@]At least it wasn't a big buck. I had a mix of old an new slugs, and was using my old ones. Well they will now be retired.
Friday half day of work and then head to the woods, new slugs this time. See a few deer and even a decent buck, but can't get any shots.(ridiculously thick area)Finally a big doe comes sneaking thru the woods. I'm sitting in a ladder stand and she's to my right. Can't spin for a shot, so I shoot her left handed. Despite a perfect lung shot with copper solids she managed to go 70-75 yds with a blood trail that was3ft wide.

So I'm down to 2 more doe tags, and a buck tag. I skipped out on our last day of gun season today, I can still archery hunt for does until Xmas, then bucks come back in after that. I may use that time to scout for a buck for the late season. The deer are really in my one spot, thanks to the landowner tossing everyone but me and a couple other select few from the property. I've got a good feeling going into this spot. I had previously written it off, but the snow really revealed a lot of good deer activity and I found one nice HUGE solo deer track. Betting its a nice buck.

Without going back and re-reading all of the posts, I thought we had a couple more bucks down on our team, but there are still only two posted to the scorecard.
I'm sure that Dave had one and thought that maybe one or two others did as well.
Whats up?

I think dave is still waiting to get the rack from the taxidermist.

wis bow hunter got one but I doubt. He's going to enter it. I PM'd him a while back about it, but he hasn't entered it yet. I don't even know if he took a qualifying picture.
A couple otherguys I don't think we've heard from all season.

Guys between my Taxi taking a long hunting trip out west, my father having surgey forhis pacemaker and work I am totally bogged down. Will try again this week to get to the Taxi so I can measure and post up a score. Once again I am sorry.

Dave

Don't worry about it, take care of the things you gotta do first. No big deal. We'll get the score eventually.

Hey team, hows everyone making out? i havent been out in the woods since last monday. Ill be out tomorrow morning, hopefully with something good to report.

Cant really see the Horn but I rough scored him at 25 3/8 inches

Hey fellas, how's things going? Gonna get out to the stand this weekend to see if i can tag a late season buck. I'll be hunting the farm behind my dad's house that I am the onlt one that has permission to hunt. 120acres of pines and oaks. Been getting some good bucks on the camera behind the house at the feeder, but only at night. Hopefully I can get one tagged before they loose there racks. Have a safe and happy holiday. I'll try to get some pics up of the bucks behind the house when I get a chance.

Merry Christmas team. Hope its a safe and happy holiday for yinz. (y'all)

I will be back out after Christmas, some evenings after work, and 3 more saturdays and my season will be in the books.

Yes indeed, a very Merry Christmas to everyone. Have a wonderful holiday season, enjoy your family and be safe.
God Bless,
Craig
