Nice buck soonershooter. He does have dark horns and a dark patch between them. I don't think I have ever saw that one a buck around here.

Leverdude, do you got any pics?

I am patiently waiting for gun season to start around here so I need all the photos I can get. We had alittle snow this morning so went out and shot a coyote. Hunted one ditch had one come out right beside me on the other side and run about 150 yards out then stand on a terrace and look back at me. 22-250 showed him that was a mistake.

Nope, no pics. My uncle took some & when I get my copies I'll scan one & post it. Nuthin to brag about as far as antlers go, I almost let him walk cuz I thought it was a doe. When he came over to the scent sticks & I saw the antlers I took my shot. Once he was down & I went to collect him I was kinda suprised at his size, I thought he was smaller. I only hunt up there for the first 3 days & not having a doe tag I shot the first antlered deer I saw. Turned out to be a good idea as noone else saw any bucks but 2 more does were harvested by our group so we did ok. 4 hunters 3 deer, I'm not complaining.

Have not been having the best of luck with respect to weather, etc this year. I still have a couple weeks to go out, but can only hunt on weekends.[:'(]

Last weekend, some partridge hunters lost their dog on Saturday....It chased after a deer. So, on Sunday, I didn't even see a deer due to people all over the place calling for the dog, etc. I was a little bitter, but I would do the same if I lost a dog.

I will be out on New Year's Eve if I haven't tagged out. I am not giving up.

I havent been seeing much either. Havent been out much the past week or so, dern responsibilities snowballing on me. I should get cought up this weekend & be free till new years. I hope.

Well, I have the 24-27th off and the 31st off. I will probably not be posting much before I shoot one....all my free time will be spent in the woods.

So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all !

Good luck to you in hunting and in life.

Leverdude

Good luck farmcntry! I'v got till the end of Jan but these short days make it tough to get out since I work, that & we cant hunt here on Sundays limit me to saturdays & a couple evenings a week at most.
Once again good luck!

Good Luck guys, I shot a 10 point with the muzzle loader yesterday. Nothing real special but a nice deer. Prob. go about 110 to 120 gross score. Been kind of a hard year for hunting around here with the weather so nice. Need a cold spell with some snow to bunch them back up. Everything is out in the open on terraces. Good Luck the rest of the year.
