Late season hate it and love it!
 

This past week has been something else. I shot a deer 27 dec. She was huge. I got her in Vilas county with a bow. I had drawn back and was waiting for her to turn when my bow jerked wanting to let down and my finger pressed the release luckly my sights were in a good spot at the time and it hit it hard. She died 30 yds later. The muzzy hit her at the base of the neck and exited mid body. I lucked out. I held fulldraw for 45sec or so.

Bonus pics: This is a snowshoe I shot with a .22 Luger yesterday., and this was a steelhead I caught today. It's going on the wall.

Theres a puzzle with this deer. Lets see who can figure it out!

Is it a buck that lost its horns?

RE: Late season hate it and love it!
 

That's what I was going to say. That looks like a buck that has shed already.

Guys, I'm just takin a shot in the dark here......But I'm bettin he would be able to tell if it were a buck or doe.......;)

RE: Late season hate it and love it!
 

I'm sure he knows he's just not telling us yet! That would have to be one heck of a big button buck if you ask me. The ones Ive seen are about the size of a great dane.

Ok sorryit took so long to write back. Yes HE has lost his horns. It was the last 10 mins of light and I looked and looked and didn't see sockets. Wish it wasn't so but it's still a deer to me and I'm proud. Haven't had a chance to shoot a deer with my bow in 4 years cause the military. The reason I didn't see the sockets is because he lost them the first week of dec. They were already healed over. Wierd kinda. I've never seen a deer lose his horns that early. After this I hung up the bow, so did my buddies. Didn't want it to happen again. The thing in the bottom of the pic is a new deer drag.

It's not my favorite that's for sure. It's either feast or famine. They bunch up at this time of the year. If you're in the right spot fine. If not, oh well. But even if you're in the right spot there are so many eyes and they've been hunted and spooked and shot at and you name it. No cover to speak of and the deer are nervous. Come to think of it, even though I hunt it, it sucks.:D
