Thanks. I shot that deer at 5pm. I have some cam shots of another buck around 6pm. I walked 2 miles to the spot that I set up for hogs. I didn't get there until 4 or 4:30. I heard a crack and looked behind me. I shot him through the smallest opening in the oak tree I was in. I hit him with my Marlin 30/30. He didn't move an inch or bleed a drop. The shot exploded his heart.

cool deal...marlin 30/30 is what I use as well.

I used mine today as well...{ -; I use it when hunting in the bayheads..I got a pass through with an arrow this year but could not find the deer. Water don't leave a blood trail.} -;

By the way..I was wrong on hearing the shot..the deer I saw taken and heard was a morning deer..

well I went out and got another hog this past weekend...thats 2 in 2 weekends...now, wheres that big buck???

I;'ll share my info after the season's over.{ -;

Hey ,was your hog real small? I saw a man at the checkin with about a 20 lb hog..

lol...I gota big buck in the area I'm at rubbin down purty big pines, hes just stayin nocturnal, nah Chuck both hogs I shot were over 100 lbs., There is a lotta hogs hangin around the area I'm huntin, more than I've ever seen in the 5 years I been huntin that area, I bet i have seen over 20 different hogs out there.

Very nice partner..many hunters scout other hunters my friend..I'm keeping a low profile to after the season..but I'm having a very good season as well.

I can respect that...hopefully things keep positive for all of us. :fighting0007:

my biggest joy is that my placeS are so hard to get to..I haven't seen any signs of man yet..and I hope it stays that way..{ -;

I do plan to do some hunting with Greenswamp man though at Three Lakes...After Friday I'm off for the remainder of Dec. I plan to live in my stand during that time LOL
I do hope you all get venison as well..After finding alot of trichanosos in my last hog a few month ago my wife won't let me bring any more home..I've seen hogs and found a slew of them but I let them walk..I'm strictly a hunting for deer .

Keep safe my friends and take some time to reflect on the real reason for Christmas.
God's love and mercy toward us..
