Wednesday I saw a awesome shooter buck with a doe and a smaller buck with a doe..... Thursday the bucks were with does , saw the same awesome shooter with a doe and another shooter with a doe I kicked up on accident...and the hubby took a nice 10 pointer following a group of does to a cut corn field.........I missed a super wide monster I shot for 40 yards last week trotting after a doe....... I watched my arrow just miss skinning his belly hairs, when I ranged findered it after the miss it turns out he was 47 yards [:@]:(
Gonna have at it again Monday morning.
Here is my Husbands Archery 10 pointer Buck taken on 11/18/2004.

Lady, shooter bucks were really on the move Thursday. I am also gonna give it a shot Monday morning hoping that the 2 big bucks I've been seeing on one property were not taken during shotgun over the weekend. :eek:

Well I finally closed the deal this weekend with the shotgun!! Had one of the deer I got on my trail camera come into 40 yards following 4 does on Saturday afternoon...I shot and he ran like nothing happened to him...I looked but found no deer or blood Saturday night!! Tonight(Sunday) decided to get out of the tree and try to push some deer towards my wife, I was walking along an old strip mine pond levee and looked across the pond to see my deer laying there....Big 11 pointer on a 10 point frame(1" kicker on the G-2)...Should gross in high 150's...And should have pictures tomorrow or the next day...Got the photo of this particular deer just before bow season started and have been hunting this deer since...Saturday was the first time seeing him...And luckily I got him!!

Glad to hear you found your buck.... Congrats;) We would love to see a pic of your buck.
Went out yesterday at noon I had a non shooter buck come into 30 yards running a doe , he was grunting the entire time.
My evening hunt was on the cut corn field with 17 turkeys in the field and I stopped counting the deer I was seeing after the 11th deer all were does and yearlings . no bucks.[:@]

Nice buck. How did he score?

With the snow melting today will the deer move much?
Or will they stay in the timber?
