I don't know much about scoring. I'm a meat hunter. I do know he will make a bunch of jerky. My wife is making me get it mounted maybe the taxidermist will tell me what it scores.

Nice buck!
Yep, the deer start to move better. Start to see more bucks. I'll take off thursday and friday to do some morning hunts and try to wrap one up before the orange army does.
I had a doe within twenty yards saturday, but it was already this dark in this patch of the woods I could not even see her silhouette against the forest floor. Sunday I saw two bucks, but out of range and the wind did not help either.

There's been another Indiana bow kill by nlester, with a selfbow that he made. It's all in another thread. Well done Nathan!

Denny Sturgis Jr. shot a wide 8 pt. here in Indiana!

Happy Birthday to me! No, wasn't gifted with a 15 yd broadside shot at a whitetail but I did get a morning on stand that was very enjoyable. I saw a doe at nearly 200 yds shortly after settling in and I was pleased with my 20 yd shot at the cottony top of an old goldenrod. I had a flock of cardinals come in my area and had a redtailed hawk sharing my hunting grounds.

In the 14 years that I've been hunting I don't recall ever getting to hunt on my birthday. I got a late start after taking my son to school and checking on my mom. I was out by 10:30. I did some rattling even though it is late in the season for that. I had several ideas come to me that I thought were pretty good.

I'm going to change my hunting strategy. I heard recently that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So I'm going to make some changes. Wish me luck!

Happy b-day Bona!

Don't have a big deer to show.  He came by about 60 yards away on Thursday morning.  Couldn't talk him into coming any closer.

The weather was good on thurday and friday morning. I passed up a little spike at 9 yards and had several does at 15 yards, but they were very tense and ready to jump, so I did't try to get a shot off at one of them. The does approached me head on,too, which made it very hard to move since this area is pretty open.
I'll try some more this week...

Ya'll give up cause'o the "Orange Herd"...??

I joined 'em...back at the stick this weekend though.

I put the orange hat on but have still been carrying my bow.  Passed on a button buck a couple days ago.  Going to give it a go in the morning.
