A lone doe came through at around 20 yards in the last few minutes of shooting light. Not cool, looks like liver and one lung with some digestive matter...have to go look in the morning before it heats up

Well it began pouring down rain about 9:30 last night (2) hours after my shot and rained all night. I grid searched for hours today but was not able to find her. I'm pretty upset with myself as this is the first deer I haven't found that was hit further back...I'm pretty sure I could have found her if not for the rain.

Chin up, Michael. We've all been there. Nothing goes to waste in nature. The effort you put in searching for her is what matters.    :thumbsup:

Went out yesterday evening, and took my oldest boy (5 now).  We hunted on the east side of our property with a N wind that was good for the direction the deer would enter the food plot. The plot is an interior plot with brassica/beets, the deer will usually feed here before working out to one of our bean fields on the south edge of the property.  a About 5 PM we had the first set of does / fawns enter the field. All was looking good as the plan was to shoot a doe to get the season started. Then about 5:30 two bucks showed up, one a 2.5 yr old with some awesome potential, forked G2's & 3's, and with him was a 5 yr old 8, one of the deer on the shoot list for the year. The bucks and does worked our way but the old doe must be familiar with our blind set as she dropped into the ditch to the east instead of walking by the blind. She used the ditch to circle to our NE and pick up our wind.  She made a racket and cleared the field for us. going to to wait till we get a strong west wind and sit NE of the blind set and see if I can't kill her. Thats a good all day stand for the rut and I can have her blowing up the field every time.

Scrape activity is sure picking up marking there territories, started moving my cams to them today. This 3yr old has been chasing everything around like he's something. Good to see and has great potential!

Looks good to me Tracy.  Beautiful animal!  I got a late start this year, got my stand up though, I should be good sitting in a week or 2.  I got ahold of Jim today from Anneewakee Archery, my Slim Jim quiver should be in this week.  Also will be shooting my new to me Mohawk longbow this year.  I'm worse than my 6 year old boy at Christmas.

You would think it was the end of October the way the deer are acting around here right now. I have as many does marking scrapes as I do bucks.

 

 

 

 

Lots of activity, just a couple picks to many to post. Keeps raining and storming but supposed to be done after tonight for a while. Nice and cool to, good luck everybody!

Yep, good luck and stay safe. Remember to wear orange this weekend as it is the "special" antlerless deer gun season on Saturday and Sunday statewide.

You're welcome, but better check the regs at the KDWP+T$ to see how much orange is required.

Enjoy...full edited video


 

Long story short I was not able to recover this buck...He ran onto an adjoining property and the owner (who is also an avid bowhunter) wouldn't give me permission to access and find my buck. I had the full video up but took it down because my windows editing software somehow reduced my quality.
Anyone know of a good video editing software I could get? preferably free?
