I will confess to having shot one myself about like that. ^^ I didn't weigh it, but the body was not big relative to his rack and we later determined that he was likely 3.5, maybe 4.5. While he scored in the upper 160's, I really do wish I hadn't whacked him that night so we could see what he...

Great job!! Big smiles, I love it!

Oh...never mind. :)

What county are you in? I might know a guy... :cool:

I just posted this in a "brassicas" thread, but my son has had a spectacular hunt this morning. At one point NINE bucks were sweating a doe right around him for about an hour. If you were two ridges over, I doubt you saw a deer. We are still light on mature deer after EHD in the area last...

FWIW, I watched a bunch of fawns last night and they stayed in the rye about 95% of the time, eschewing the brassicas right next to them. When the rye is fresh from recent growth AND it is relatively warm, like last night...they seem to prefer the rye. Where were the mommy deer, you ask??? I...

Yes. ^^ Thank you for your service vets!!

Lots of variables...but with widespread EHD last year and again this year...some bucks may have done well to simply survive into this year. Antler growth may be restrained in that case.

Same here, mainly the radishes...they are gulping the whole plant.

After the hard EHD losses of last year I am pleased to say that we still have huntable numbers of bucks and does this year. However, in the main, the class structure is definitely way on the younger side, both buck and doe and overall numbers are below long term norms in our area...

Nailed it. ^^ Now combine those factors with EHD and land segmentation, where smaller and smaller parcels are being hunted very effectively and thoroughly...it is very tough to get a buck to 5+ in that mix.

Deer are in it already. No turks close enough, not likely to be any in this area.

Using the decoy tonight. Have seen 4 baldies and a little forky. The forky was just feeding along and behaving himself. But he must have got a dose of "November" because he ended up chasing one of the does and clearing the field. Plenty of time yet for the right one to show up yet.

I have not sold it, but I plan to. I am planning on bringing it back to my shop this winter and replacing some wear parts on it, so as to restore it back to "like new" condition.

Looking awesome!! I drilled this in with my still relatively new PH Outdoors drill and it performed perfectly. I am really looking forward to upping my planting game this coming year via using it!!

Awesome!! I am glad that you bought that farm! ;) Congratulations!

The buck is hanging in the neighbor's barn, all is well. Pics tomorrow AM. We have sheds and pics going back several years on this joker. Trail cams showed him more active in daylight this year than in previous years...a trend that we have seen before. Where a 7+ year old seems to get bolder...

My son Mark, on his 30th birthday today, took out our #1 target with 3 minutes of shooting light to spare. Recovery is underway, I will post more pics once we have them. This is a 7.5 old survivor and one of our smarter bucks through the years. He has been a pretty regular homebody over the...

My son hunted in the on again, off again light rain the other morning and saw at least 5 different bucks, one nice one, and watched two young bucks really go at it in a buck fight. He was in a blind, in a field that has had a lot of deer activity lately.
