Try posting an aerial pic of the area...that way we could be more help.


I went out this morning with my brother in-law. He had a really tall 7pt walk in front of him...but he just couldn't shoot it. The entire way home he wished he had....but oh well. I've seen the deer too...he's a very massive basket rack. One of his brow tines is broken off...or else he would be an 8pt. Probably a 120" or so.


I had a wounded spike run up to my tree around 715am. Just as he did my BIL started hitting his rattle bag a couple hundred yards in front of me. The spike freaked and trotted off.

Around 8am, a doe walked in on me. I double lunged her @ 20 yards. She took off running up this big hill in a picked corn field...where she expired 50 yards from where she got hit. Right behind her was another really nice doe too. Anywho, dragging a deer DOWN a hill is SOOO much easier than acrossed flat land. It was a nice retrieve to say the least. She's small...a little over 100#. I donated her...b/c I got tons of meat from the buck I shot the other week. I may take another doe or two...b/c they're running wild up there.


BTW, I used the "Butt-Out" tool for the first time this morning on this doe. I've heard lots of negative reports on it, including from my father in-law. But I must say that was the easiest (by FAR!!!) way that I've ever gotten the anus out. Push in, twist, pull out. That simple.

The dog, me, my son, and the deer:

My son gets the biggest kick out of seeing these deer up close. My wife was watching her best friend's 2 kids.....they wouldn't even get close to it.
