It has been very slow around here. I've not had a deer in range from a treestand since Oct. 1st. Except for the one shown below. He came in right at sunset and was moving along with purpose. He hit my shooting lane, I bleated, he stopped, I released. He went very far for a double lung. My kids at college in Utah love venison and always take a suitcase full back with them when they visit. We are going out for my 2nd grandson's blessing in a couple weeks and want to take a couple suitcases full for them. When I saw the huge body on this guy, I knew he could fill a couple.

I bought a new TimberHawk takedown longbow at Denton Hill and it performed perfectly and pushed the Snuffer completely through the thick body.

Dang Terry, did you ever weigh him? When I got the text,  I thought it was an Indiana buck. He is way cool, he's gotta be older than 3 1/2.

And yet another big one went down yesterday. Bucks look to be picking up the pace. Hopefully hear a story when the work is done.   :campfire:

Looking forward to this...

at the horse farm, the number of animals that walked in front of my camera last week over the week before has quadrupled plus some.  Granted all at night but the activity level is sure picking up.
Relax,

Nice buck Terry.

Got out Saturday again. I hunted a new stand on public ground that is about 15 acres. It is separated by a road to a bigger property that a lot of people hunt. There is a nice funnel created by some houses deer fence and some thick stuff. Around 8:00am I have a six point come feeding through on the trail and I hear another deer behind him. Another six point comes through and he has big forks and brow tines like the buck I got last year but smaller. I let him pass and they catch up to each other and feed together. The typical six point feeds back to me and I'm thinking this deer must want to commit suicide since he must be getting at least a whiff of me. I let him pass again waiting for a doe or bigger buck. That was it for the great morning that started off with a screech owl landing on a branch three feet away from me. It turned its head and looked at me while I thought "welcome fellow hunter."

For the evening I went to another spot and a stand that I hadn't hunted before. Around 4:00pm a spike fed by. At 4:30pm a doe busted me getting my wind at about 40 yards. Then had another spike chase a bunch of does away that were headed my way until this big old doe chased him away. The old doe never gave me a shot but I was please never the less since she didn't pick me up in my stand. It is in a good spot but the trees are all small so I wedged this stand among some branches and it seems to have worked. At dark while I was just about to get down I heard a deer coming, he was a buck with a big body but I could only see a flash of antler in the dark. All in all a great day.

Got out all day sat saw a ton of movement including a nice buck.  Snuck back in there Sunday afternoon and the buck visited me again. I will give the full story and pics later when I have a little time.

Finally got out after being sick for a week. Had a small spike around 7:20 this morning eating acorns within 15 yards but let the little guy walk. Saw 3 doe sneaking along the edge of a swampy area but they never came close enough to offer a shot. It felt good to be back out.
