That is a shame. Glad you put him down quickly.at least he won't die a slow death.

Good job keeping those young men in the woods!!! It's a lot of work prepping to get these kids on deer but there's nothing like it!!!My youngest killed his 2nd deer this season and family"s first antlered buck of the year. 5 points 120lb

Tis true! But now, mine are seasoned veterans at the ripe ol age of 15 and 18. They'll be dragging and cleaning my deer for me sooner than they thinkGood job keeping those young men in the woods!!! It's a lot of work prepping to get these kids on deer but there's nothing like it!!!

Widest spread deer I have seen local was hit by a car several years ago in Julian. My buddy picked it up and had it mounted. Not real heavy but almost 22" wide inside. Took top honors at the Dixie classic in "other" catagory. Just goes to prove that they loose their minds for a little while each year. Gives us hunters a little hope.Got this 8 pt, 16" inside spread, a little while ago, laying in my field from being hit by a car. He was hit Thursday or Friday morning and we just found him this afternoon. Looks like his guts were busted up. Headed out to see if I can't get something like this with the muzzleloader.

How was the ride back out from the bottom?View attachment 166344 View attachment 166345
I shot this fellow a few mins after 3pm today. I had been in the stand about 20 mins.
Almost immediately after getting in the tree I started seeing and hearing turkeys. I counted a parade of 10 crossing the creek below me and then they all started working their way toward me scratching.
As I'm sitting there eating sunflower seeds and spitting the hulls I thought maybe it would be a good opportunity to grab some pics of the turkeys. I pulled my phone out of my vest and caught sight of antlers approaching me out of the corner of my eye.
I got my crosshairs on him about the time he looked straight at me. We sat locked in that position for about 5 mins. I had no shot because a sapling was in the way and he was straight on facing me.
I was afraid the turkeys were gonna bust me more than I already was. Finally he settled down and put his head down to sniff at the doe scent I'd put out before getting in the tree.
He turned ever so slightly and took a step out from behind the sapling. As he did I squeezed the trigger. The Hornady SST did its job beautifully. He staggered about 30 yards before piling up for good.

Lol
That's why I gave the "lol"Didn't ride. Mule wouldn't crank. Carted him all the way back to the first field.
If you're real slick you'll catch him in that trap.Probably gonna have to wait til after this full moon and into gun season.

This one weighed 200 lbs.How much did the bear weigh. One day I would like to try some bear meat.
I’m headed to MI Tuesday for some bow and gun hunting. Hopefully I’ll have some pics to share

View attachment 166794 View attachment 166795This one had been a regular nighttime visitor this yr until a hot little mamma got him in trouble yesterday about 3:30 pm. My buddy killed him on our place with a muzzleloader.
Nope, not green in color (generally), its because I ain't got no wings and thus aren't a birdy. Therefore, I do not belong in trees! That is the short way of saying I be toooooooo FAT for tree stands!Because you're green? I don't see a problem with that. Well, unless it's like a really bright green.
Even the damn coons wont go in it anymore...they manage to steal the honey buns every time without tripping itIf you're real slick you'll catch him in that trap.
Plenty of public land out near you. Just gotta put in the time for scoutingMan I wish I had land to hunt on!!!!!
A friend in Wisconsin got this one with a bow.
