Great buck, congrats!

There seemed to be more movement in October than I expected and I can’t remember things being this slow around Nov 9, ever. I wonder if the full moon and the warm weather sticking around didn’t have some effect? It’s also surprising how long it’s been cold now too. A strange year I think. There...

If the neighbors are pushing, look for a likely escape route. Expect that a mature buck will use his nose to survive. When still hunting, whoever is moving is at a disadvantage.

Congrats, nice buck!

Nice buck, good job

Congrats

All day sits suck the life out of me lol. I usually hunt morning, take a break and hunt afternoon/evening. When the monsters are out I’ll sit all day if I can. I grunted in a 170” several years ago, only to miss him. I almost always see big deer around 7:30AM and then again around mid morning...

Nice!

Great deer, congrats!

Nice deer, congrats!

Had a 155-160” 4.5 10 pt. walk within 10 yards this morning. When a few does showed up later, a nice 3.5 8 pt. starting chasing them and grunting extremely loud for 5-10 minutes. A couple other small bucks cruised by too. Great show, seems a little early. Bummed my phone/video wasn’t accessible...

My strategy YMMV Bling calling - no Rattling - no Scents - no Cans - no Grunt - rarely Snort Wheeze - almost never Funnel - yes Trail to doe food or bed- yes Intersection of multiple trails - yes Grunt - if I catch a shooter chasing a doe and she’s not ready, when the chase is over, I’m calling...

Luke built my 700 SML many years ago. It is insanely accurate. I love not having to clean it and I simply can’t imagine not hunting with it. FWIW, my longest shot is probably 150 yards lol.

Great buck, nice job!

I don’t have a lot of experience with this season but I’ve taken a couple. I would look for a scrape on the edge of heavy timber next to an area where does feed for an evening hunt. A buck might not step into an open field, but he may come to the edge at dusk.

My thinking is similar, much easier to identify a very few deer with a lot of potential, share photos and agree to pass until some agreed upon age. It would be awesome if it worked out.

Congrats!

I'm surprised I don’t see them more, I get lots of photos, often during the day.

Yep, take it down to quarters and put in cooler on ice.
