Looks like my archery season is over. Had 3 deer that I could have had on the board but bad judgement by me stopped that. It was fun competing in this with you all.

This guy got hit on the road down from my house last friday I think it was. Biggest bodied deer I have seen in our area probably went over 250 lbs.

He's back again... hope to see him over thanksgiving.

Holy *&$^$ Brent! That looks to be an impressive buck! Good Luck!!

Goodness gracious! dude... I am speechless

Good luck Brent! Awesome buck.

WOW! you need to get him on the ground Brent we need a better look at him!!

Not with a BOW, but though you guys would like to see!!
 

Didn't kill him with a bow, but thought you guys would like to see. I taped him at 148 3/8. 23 inside, 24 inch LMB, 25 inch RMB. Killed in Guilford County NC.

Got one down this morning. 8pt, not the biggest buck out there but proud none the less. I am out on the public land for rifle season and got tired of all the hunters so this morning decided to take the crossbow to a little section that is bow only. At 7:26 am a doe came in behind me ( I am sitting in a lawn chair in a make shift blind that is only just in front of me) she blows and runs off a little but came right back and walked beside me about 5 yards away. She got 20 yards right in front and I couldn't take it anymore, I put one right behind the shoulder and she ran away going straight away from me. Pilled up 50 yards from where she stood. I loaded another bolt and as I sat down he ran right in from where she was laying, grunting and giving it hell so I put one right behing his shoulder too..lol 2 deer in 2 minutes, both standing in the same spot. I'll try to get a pic on here but it will be a few days before I have a score.



I have another pic with the bow. Just don't have a way to get it on here yet... :)

Helluva rack there phish!

Congrats Kelly on getting us on the board.

I took my dog Ruby out for a walk in the back this past Sat between morning and afternoon hunts, and we jumped a nice buck right at noon. One of my cameras caught him just minutes before we came upon him.

Even though its not for us, Great Buck phish!

Looks like a nice buck to get us goin kelly!!

fsha, you need to be more sneaky LOL

Here's the pic for the contest. I'm still unpacking will get a score shortly.

Nice buck kelly. Does he have a split browtine or is that your camo making it look like that?

Thats the camo. The brow does curl forward a little. I just finished skinning out the head for a euro mount and he has a lump right by the pedicle on that side. I think that is why his right side is smaller than his left. Maybe an old war injury I guess!!

Great bucks guys hopefully more will follow now.

Another pic of a dandy at home... idk where this guy was in november i got pics of him every 4 or 5 days.

Brent - I think they must dig foxholes.

My (most recent) dumb move: I blew a chance at a nice shooter buck last week. He saw me pick my bow off my holder when I thought I was still hidden from his view; he was 45 yds out and headed towards me. The hard part is that I could have easily waited for a sure opportunity before picking up the bow. Oh well, not the first time that's happened, and probably not the last...

Here is a short clip of a buck (9ptr) that was harassing does in one of my fields last week while I was hunting elsewhere (that's my ladder stand on the distant backwood edge to the right of the buck):

At least he's still around brent! I'm trying to still get out. I was going to go out this weekend but we ended up getting 8 inches of snow yesterday and I have to move it for my work. Plus right now the thermometer says 1 degree outside. So I have to go move some more here soon so maybe I'll take a day or 2 off since I didn't have my weekend!

I went out yesterday and didn't see a thing. Trail cams aren't showing much either but there are alot of tracks in the snow. I have til Dec. 31st but the way things are going, I'm about ready to throw in the towel. Great pics year, but the hunting has just been awful. I need a different strategy for next year!!

Heading to Ohio today to go after the big boys one last time.

Good luck to ya Robow!

going to Luverne for a few days after new years...hopefully I can add to the team...been busy...sorry i haven't been on for a while.

I'm seeing a bit more daylight activity from a few interesting bucks on the cameras. So far, the bucks aren't making any mistakes such as showing up in the same place at the same time for two days in a row, lol. I think some colder weather may help, it's been unusally mild around here.

Well guys, I just had some tag soup for the year. I passed on some small ones and some does just never presented shots. So I had some opportunities but just came up empty waiting on some of my bigger guys. Its been fun and the team chat was awesome. Good Luck to all of you in your future endeavors and maybe some of us may end up on the same team next season!!

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for a Wed- Friday hunting trip...bow only.... I will post when I get back.

Buck down!
 

Well I finally connected. 9 bucks in the food plot...amazing.... I got this one at 26 yards. It just might wind me down for deer...time to start looking toward turkey season!

I will have to score him tomorrow... late and I'm tired. Shot him yesterday at 5 p.m... January 5.....

Very nicely done Arjuna! Congrats on the buck.

Great buck Arjuna!!

Nice job Arjuna!!!! Looks like a good one!!

Congrats to you Arjuna!

Here is my first "gun" buck...up to this point it has been all bow. I didn't have time to get pics before I cleaned him....sorry.
