opening weekend of deer season at 7:40am i blasted one in a 1 buck county....so my season is done there!

 

Nice deer! I like that kicker off the G2. Actually, I guess that's a double tine. I've been chasing one around in circles here lately, hope I can post his pic on here after I show him my .45-70. The bow just ain't gonna cut it, I don't believe. Our gun season starts right after Thanksgiving, you can kill 2 bucks and 10 does. With each weapon, actually. I've got to warm up my trigger finger.

I shot a Sika deer a couple weeks ago, I'll have to figure out how to post his pics.

 

where in the world do you live??

that buck there scored 133" Non typical b/c of the kicker

 

I live on the Eastern shore of MD. Got plenty of deer. I went out in the rain yesterday to retrieve my climber, which I left hanging on a tree Monday, and did some scouting, there's some good buck sign on that farm. One deer I think has single handedly logged off a 2 acre patch of 10 year old pines. Rubbed almost every one to death. I've got a rifle stand across the field from the thicket, about 200 yards, I hope he shows up. Also found a great spot back in the woods on the other side of the farm, about 80 yards from one of my bow stands. Gonna move it there this weekend.

You may not have seen my post about fighting with that big deer last weekend. Its in this forum somewhere, you'll get a kick out of it. I almost did too, actually. Check it out.

 

Shot last second to the last day of the season. Offhand up hill about 400yards one shot straight though behind the shoulders went in broke one rib going in though the back half of the heart and out the other side and broke a rib going out. I highly doubt I will make another shot like that for awhile HA

 

 

Ok we see the rope on the ground...Obviously you had him tied to a tree waiting on the season to come in

 

no deer yet this year...still trying to get off work tomorrow to go out with the bow! i leave next friday for a week of rifle hunting in WV tho...cant wait.

 

Larry i'm about to call you on that one!

After i gutted him, i drug him into a tree to let the blood drain out...i promise thats the purpose of the rope!



Theres the rifle i killed him with!

 

Actually, this is how he looked right after I shot him:


..and this is how he looked after I retold the story several times.

 

haha it tends to happen that way. Thats why i let the pictures talk.

 

You boz in TX have some nice deer. We still tryin to growm here in TN. That is if we can keep the yahoos from shotting anything with horns!

 

I know what ya mean. We have new hunting laws this year in some counties that you may find interesting....it is now ILLEGAL to shoot a buck with less than a 13" spread if he has branched antlers. (meaning if he is a spike, he is legal to shoot.) In counties like this, You are legally allowed to kill 2 bucks- 1 "trophy" and 1 "cull" deer. Hopefully it works.

 

I like the sound of those rules!! I will be shooting my fill on does this year. I saw 3 last Sat, and my buddie saw 13 within 200 yards of each other. Bucks------they will be showing up here in the next couple of days. It seems that all of our Doe's bring the big boys in later on in the season. I have had from early Sept to the First of Jan to kill my limit. Slow start as of yet. Waiting on the Big boy this Saturday with the opening of Muzzle Loader Season. I will post a pic of the moose if I get him!!!! Good Luck to all!

 

Mulies don't count.
