This place is CRAWLING with deer

And I finally skewered one this morning. He ran into a clump of trees, but didn't come out. Waiting till 8:00 to begin tracking.

Good luck man!

Lots of meat on this spike

Just got back into town. That buck weighed in at 200# before I cleaned him.

Not exactly a cull spike, because it was probably a damaged tine and not genetics. I actually let a good (young) 8pt walk in favor of killing this guy. Super stoked for my first bow kill and lots of meat.

Got out in the woods this weekend for a little hunting. Not sure what's going on but only saw 1 deer the whole weekend. It was a buck but to dark to tell how big or if it was legal. I'm sure the 2+ inches of rain we got yesterday morning didn't help.

I was in the woods too. The rain sucked, but I put a doe in the freezer this morning.

Nice! I wanted meat more than anything but I have a few more chances.

Yeah, we got shitty rain yesterday morning too. It stopped at 6:00a just in time to sneak into the blind and the deer came out in droves about 5min later. 3 guys got shots from the same blind in a span of only 30min. Came home with meat from another Spike.

Best time to hunt in the rain...

My son shot a 3pt spike/112lbs Saturday morning, and it was open flood gates most of morning. My brother and I had to drag the spike out of the creek bottom before the water came up.

And for the evening hunt, we were not in the blind no more 10min and a 10pt, 170lbs walked out, I couldn't even find the binocs cause it was a surprise to us. He shot him and we waited 30min before I went out to locate the buck. I had drop the ass end of the truck in hole for loading him, it almost bottomed out, but it made loading the buck on the receiver rack so much easier. 4WD was a must for the past few wnkd in hunting and now a wheel bearing is totally hosed.

Yup

I took a couple days off to extend the weekend. Got nothing this evening hunting my bow stand with 10mm. Sleeping in my gun stand tonight.

With night vision and silencer, shooting the 10pt that's on my feeder right now is tempting,

Are you going up to Brownwood this wnkd? I will be at the Hamilton farm.

 

[drew02a]

No, heading back tomorrow

Bucks in rut??

 

[drew02a]

Nope, also it's too warm, new moon, and the damn deer went nocturnal. Makes for terrible hunting. My count for the season is still just 2
