I figured this guy was close to 10. Had zero prior pics until last year around thanksgiving. Had 9+” bases and not much else. Was very surprised to get the results back that he was 5.5 years old. Made no difference to me, felt good to outsmart a mature deer even though he had a small rack...

Save some for the rest of us you two! Here’s my 2007 Mazda 3, 247k miles and hauls the occasional turkey and lots of fur bearers.

He showed up on the cams last year for the first time around thanksgiving and was a regular after that. The lack of history and his obscene bases and not much else led me to believe he was old…I thought 9 or 10. Turned out I was way wrong, but I was thrilled to harvest two mature bucks in the...

I was and still am absolutely thrilled to have harvested him. They don’t have to score high to be a trophy to me. He’s a mature deer for sure!

Ishi is the winner. He was only 5.5 years old. I guess a good “management deer” if that’s all the bigger rack he had in his prime.

You’re a regular Josh Bowmar! Lol!

The last few years there hasn’t been as much gun pressure on the neighbor’s so hopefully the bucks have a chance of living a little longer.

Here’s a pic of the buck. Anyone want to take a stab at the age before I post a pic of the results? Curtis, can’t answer because he already knows.

Skip, bring lots of shells! Dove hunting is a great time!

I’ve killed quite a few turkeys, only a few have had spurs like this. To have both in a double have them is pretty awesome. I think I’ll make something for my son with them.

Not the best pics…trying to hurry while my angry 4 year old wanted to go in the house. Also, not the most photogenic since I was fishing them out of the garbage. Lol!

I can take a pic of the spurs when I get home today.

After grinding on some public ground Friday and Saturday, my son and I headed to the farm last night to hunt this morning. We’ve had some close calls and a blown opportunity on the public, so we were ready for a change. With the weather being less then ideal for his birthday hunt, we decided to...

I saw a good sized group with 3 strutters in the Madrid area yesterday while checking beaver traps.

Could it be from iron chlorosis? I thought some evergreens will get it.

If you’re only hunting late muzz when it’s nice, you’re missing some of the best hunting. Two problems with whoever is the fair weather hunter…hunting late muzz January 18…and taking a half hearted shot. If you’re not actually trying you just shouldn’t shoot…period!

I’m saving the castors….unfortunately the price of castor has dropped from $65-$70 a pound to $25-$30 if you can even sell it. Currently have close to 8 lbs.

Not deer hunting related, but I’ve been trapping beavers. And most days my 4 year old daughter is my trapping partner. The beav in the second pic weighed 68 lbs.

For a second I thought that was Curtis…

For whatever reason, the SST’s through my slug gun are absolute hammers! Not in the muzzleloader though.
