Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

I had Greg/MO and Matt/PA hunting my farm with me this Friday thru Sunday. We were mainly looking for trophy bucks and Matt did see a good one but got winded. We had little bucks crawling all over us and were seeing lots of does. But the does just were not ready yet.

Matt just loved checking trail cameras every day.




All three of us could have shot this half rack buck on numerous occasions. He was roaming all over the farm. If he would have had both sides, he would be at the taxidermists right now. But I don't think he ever grew an antler on that other side. I could not see a base when he was right under me.

Also had this little guy right under me.


So after 2 and a half days and no bucks down we decided on the last evening, if a doe came by without a buck chasing her, we were going to shoot one for a trophy shot.
We ended up shooting 3 does in the last hour of the hunt. Greg shot 2 and I shot one about the same time. We look like an add for Predator Camo. The doe in the front was as big as a horse.


After getting home I decided to give my doe to Greg since he needed 1 more to fill his freezer. We did a little creative stacking on his Cherokee.




OH and Rob, did you bring this guy along from PA?

Good stuff there John!! Congratulation's to you and Greg on your doe's!! As for Matt, I'm thinking that guy would be a blast to be around!!:D

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Looks like you had a blast guys! Matt, that first trail cam pic is priceless. Congrats on the does guys!

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Very nice John! Way to go.

They are moving in our parts, for SURE.

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Looks like you guys had a great time! Congrats on the does, and that sure could be an ad for Predator Camo!:D

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today

Way to go boys, I can't believe "Hollywood / PA" from your trail pics didn't smack a doe. That boy has a thing for nanny backstraps when he travels it seems. Looks like you guys are having fun.

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Now that had all the fixins for a good time right there! I bet there's some sore stomach muscles in that crowd-lots of laughs. Congrats! You boys did well!

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Looks like you guys had a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Great job guys! Looks like alot of fun! Thats two threesomes that Matt was a part of in less than a month!:D

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Indeed it was... I think I about hurt myself laughing after we loaded all those does up on top of the Jeep... You should have seen some of the looks we got driving out of St. Louis on the way home. Of course, we had to go through a McDonald's drive-thru, too -- how many times are ya gonna get the chance to do that? :D

I pulled up to my processor this morning, and the ladies had to run inside and get the camera. :)

Many, many thanks go out to John again for his incredible generosity and hospitality!! We had a fantastic time, and made lots of memories. Who knows? We may have started a tradition, too: DQ Blizzards when you're shivering cold in near-freezing temps -- our attempt to make it feel LESS cold on stand. [8D]

Thanks again, John!!

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

You guys look real pretty in your allmatching camo suitsl, did you all call each other before the morning hunt?;-)

Seriously, nice job on the does, love to see guys taking does to manage the heard.

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

holy crap those does look like cows congrats

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Isn't it nice when a plan comes together?

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Yeah, except the original plan was to shoot a few nice bucks.:D

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Nope. When all you own is Predator, it's pretty certain what you're going to wear from one day to the next. ;)

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

looks like alot of fun. congrats guys

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

John,
This is Matt logged in under Greg's screenname..........thank you again for your hospitality and friendship. That was a great trip on some awesome property and really was the equivalent ofa mini "outfitter" type hunt and a real treat for a guy like me who doesn't get to see that type of stuff everyday.
THANK YOU.
I still can't believe I FINALLY get my 130"+ 8pt to stand still smack in front of my treestand completely oblivious in a "can't miss" shooting position and he only has one side. :DTHAT my friend is the story of my deer hunting life.

I think we just missed it by a couple days.........but hey at least we all got "aired out" a bit. [:-]
I'm a little upset that I didn't get a chance to do a cartwheel or my best Saturday Night Fever pose in front of the trail cam.

Don't forget to forward along the gutpile pics![:-]

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

You are very welcome, I had a great time too. I can't wait to see what shows up on the gut pile. I know it will be an interesting card to pull later this week. Maybe I'll have a "Heart Attack Buck" like the Drury's got on a gut pile.

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Is that a grey wolf radar cap that Matt is wearing in the trail pic??? Or is it some other brand in fall grey? thanks

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

It's a Gray Wolf Fall Gray radar cap but it's (I think?) discontinued or maybe a one of a kind.......called a Snowsmasher cap. It's cotton but lined with thinsulate and maybe comformax.
Picked it up for Matt on Jeff's website for $4. He seems to really like it.:D

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Nice!

RE: Did Some Whacking and Stacking Today
 

Nice.Those are some big does.
