Willy, nice buck, looks like you pulled him out of a lake. I tried the snort at a big 10 pointer this year and it sure as hell worked. I didn't shoot him, but it turned him around on a dime. Congrats Mr. President

I love morning hunts, especially when they end in a gut-pile. Congrats on the patient hunt. There is something about touching a bow hoist rope that makes bucks magically appear out of thin air.

I tend to get a little wordy, but I love this sport, so enjoy. What a season, I don't know where to begin. It all started with my trailcam. I had it out for a few weeks during August and was getting the norm, a few doe close-ups and a few little bucks. One day I went to pick up the cam right...

Muddy, that's great. CONGRATS!!! I owe you some thanks. I posted a question on broadhead choice a few months back and you suggested the Muzzy 100's. That's what I went with and I smoked a 149" 9 pointer Saturday morning. The Muzzy flew through that deer like lightning, my first pass through. I...

Shredder, I can feel your pain. I have had 3 Booners creaping around my stands just out of range. It's a heart breaker, but that's why we love it. Keep after him.

Re: First ever buck and wow what a deer(190" nonty Nice shoot'n Tex!!! One out of three aint bad.

I need Pics!!! I'm dying here at work, serves me right for using up all of vacation earlier this year.

I've been seeing alot of small bucks and a few does up until last week. I saw 2 different 125" 10 pointers last week in the mornings, they were hard to pass on when they stood 15 yards broadside for several minutes. I got some great video of them scraping and drooling. I saw 2 Booners last...

Re: Nov 6 seems to pay off for me. 3rd P+Y on this Great buck Shredder. Does he have a busted off G3 on his left side? What a brute. I passed up my second buck this morning. I had a 130" 9 pointer come in and investigate my doe decoy. He put on quite the display, made a scrape, banged his rack...

....and then I woke up when I heard my alarm clock buzzing.

TIP #4 Do Not, wash the body cavity and body down with water or anything. I've seen many guys spray the cavity out for several minutes. I was told by a butcher that this speeds bacterial growth and really does no good. TIP #5 when butchering, DO NOT cut through bones. De-bone and quarter by...

I'm in love. Horntickler, you're a lucky man.

I shot a great Halloween buck 3 years ago. I shot him over a scrape on the edge of a cornfield right at last light. I thought that I heard him go down hard just down the creek from my stand, about 75 yards. I met my buddy at the truck and set out to track down the bruiser, about 45 minutes after...

Shredder, That is really cool. Are you in Vet Med. Possibly an IA State Grad. Anyhow, sorry for the loss. Maybe you could develop some kind of bionic buck leg. Then we would never see another buck

I would never take a head on shot. Your only option in that situation is to draw and take aim, most of the time that much movement will cause the deer to move-hopefully to a position where you have a good shot. If he doesn't move, give him a bleat call with your mouth as you draw- I've done...

Is the Silver Minnow Bar still open in Royal? If so tell the owner that the Team from Ragbrai summer before last that bought all the antiques and strapped them to their bike trailers says hi. As far as your question, I've seen a huge buck that used a little grove about 1 acre in size, approx...

Oh Buddy Muddy, I just picked up a little buck decoy. I hope he gets his #%&@ kicked tomorrow morning by the enourmas eight I've been watching from a far.

Dbl, My buddy had this problem last year. He shot his buck about Nov.1 and this guys hits the stand several times a week usually. We got him a video camera and we doubled up during the rut. We had soo much fun hunting within whispering distance from eachother. It was probably the most exciting...

Thanks guys for the boost of confidence that I needed. I just had to confirm that it wasn't a hair-brained plan. I will give it a try tomorrow morning and post the results. The worst thing that can happen is that I get to sit in a oak tree and watch the sunrise, ya can't beat that!

A friend of mine has this tactic that he learned from a guide that he knows. Here is the scene. I have a stand that I would like to hunt in the morning where I have seen a very big buck and several others cruising. The only problem is that there is no way to get into the stand without walking...
