Are these guys big? If so....could be a NH deer. Most of these are at my wife's stand.

Like said before, guess size depends on where you are from. My vote for a good size blacktail will be Treekiller. That man knows how to hunt the blacktails!   :thumbsup:

I wouldn't want to be a big buck living in Woodford County KY, near the KY river!

I can't promise anything, and I doubt it would be the first, but I've got a spot that might kick out the biggest deer of the year (muley) if this incredible string of gifts from God continues...

Game cameras have locked up more private property in the past years than anything else...all those pretty bucks that hunters want to kill but never see during the light of day...but it keeps the dream alive! Bragging rights! The skill of hunting is slipping away while the cameras click away. It's too bad.  It used to be cool when a big one was killed, now its all mapped out for many and you just decide which ones one should hold out for and keep competition away because you know the potential. No more surprises.

Great deer Jim.

Thanks everyone for the votes of confidence. I have had 5 hunts so far and on the very first minute of the very first hunt had a beautiful 130" 18-19" wide 8 point come by.

I was still standing after pulling up my bow and strapping on my glove when a squirrel about 10 yards away starts going bonkers at something. I look at him and he is facing away from me on alert. He then jets up the nearest tree like his tail was on fire.

Well I bend and peek down under the leaves to see a buck bounding my way at about 40 yards. I straighten up and at that moment he comes to a stop just in front of me. With every move of his head the shreaded velvet swings and slaps back and forth. He then walks over to the fence hesitates a minute then leaps over it. Then he stops broadside at 12 yards and surveys the landscape up and down the clear strip next to the corn field.  He then just walks off like it was a crisp October day.

What is unusual about this is it was 93 degrees and 4 oclock in the afternoon. I was standing there in amazement that I just witnessed that. I supposed something had spooked the deer and he was moving locations as you don't seen deer around here move under those conditions until later in the evening.

This farm is wall to wall corn fields and with no acorns it may be a while before I can let the air out of anything.  Twice now I have seen corn stalks out in the middle of the field being thrashed back and forth as they are trying to chew the corn off the cobs. The little buggers don't have to come out of there very often. I did have a set besides a small pond they where visiting every night but the trail cams didn't reveal any big bucks.

Good luck to all this season and it sure is good to be back up the tree.
