"Honey Hole"
this week I went to a new spot that hasen't been hunted since last year in Nov. saw a lot of sign. rubs,BIG rubs, and scraps lots of scraps.looked really good to me.
so the wife and I went sat morning.at light I saw a doe and button buck,then heard another deer coming.horns.
at 15 to 20 after first light I took this one.
then Sunday the wife missed one. .
Monday morning same tree same time same doe and button,then about 20 to 30 min I saw and took this one.
Monday night the wife took a fine hog.
we took Tue and Wed. to grind sasuage and venison burger and smoke the sasuage.
then thursday we didn't see anything.today we went and I sat on a scrap line and at first light I hear grunting getting closer and closer , then this guy came out and ended my B/P season. 141 lbs. 15" spread.
can you say "HONEY HOLE" and a great week for us in the great state of Florida.. "

That's great you got deer and everything but if you wanted to fill the freezer why take that non trophy buck when there were does arround. I bet that 4 point would have maybe grown to be a fine deer, but now we'll never know. Sorry to be a parade rainer but I believe strongly in QDM.

as for the does, we do take a few for the meat if we don't get a buck.some years we do good and others we only take one buck and a few does.
I know what you are talking about,just can't do it that way.
Climber, were they all taken in Chiefland?
