I think the deer is dead. Just bought a 450 bushmaster this year, shot 2 deer with it, with Custom FTXs. Both deer were stone dead within 30 yards. Definitely going to be some grid searching involved in a situation like this. Good Luck. Hopefully u get him recovered.

Different groups that party hunt and the harvest numbers are way down during the first shotgun season. Talked to the 3 different local lockers and deer harvest numbers are down. Had 1 locker tell me, that they normally do 10 caped bucks a year, this year 0 caped bucks.......What's going on...

Been hunting the first weekend of Missouri rifle season. I'm hunting a travel corridor. First day was slow with a south wind couple 2 year old bucks. Wind switch this morning, and have seen 8 bucks on the morning hunt(nothing decent) Now am sitting the evening. Haven't seen 1 doe. Judging by...

Thanks a lot. I'll be getting a new card tommorow then.

Currently an Iowa resident, and am hunter ed certified, hunt bow and gun seasons here in Iowa. My first chance to hunt Missouri rifle season this weekend. My questions is do I need my hunter ed card(God knows where that is) to get a Missouri rifle permit???? I have my license from Iowa. Would...

Have always hunted Iowa Bow and Iowa Shotgun season. Never Missouri. I know theres a 4 point on a side minimum. I've never gotten a over the counter non resident tag in missouri,(so not in their system) is there anything extra I'll need for this? And anything else I need to know about...

Am very happy with him.

I lost 2 of my best private land hunting spots to leases. Right at the end of October I was informed of this, and it kind of let the wind out of my sails. And with the SEA of corn that's left in the fields has definitely brought along its challenges. Nov 7th I was on my way into 1 of my...

Seen 3 bucks out and about, big buck (150)was running smaller bucks off from a doe. Also seen a buck bedded down with a doe, all in standing crops

Here's my struggle, My best big timber/river bottom spots, are completely surrounded by corn hundreds of acres. I really struggle to hunt the rut when the harvest is really drawn out and the corns out late. Anybody on here have strategies that combat this???

I'll look into the guy from Waukon. Sounds like a good guy, and willing to do what it takes. That's what I need. What brands does he carry???? Hoyt? Mathews?

Currently Shooting a Bear Agenda 6 with all the goodies. And looking for a New bow shop, That I'll be purchasing, New Bows, accessories, arrows, broadheads, Strings, etc etc from. I'm from North East Iowa. Hour north of Waterloo. So who's any good? And will appreciate the business? Prefer a...

I appreciate all of the feedback guys. I'm not going to be trashing anyone online. It's now been over 2 months. I will say their in Waverly Iowa. Pretty sad a Cash paying customer that buys new bows and ALL the accessories in 1 spot cant get some service. I think I'm going to go pick up my bow.

Story time: Dropped bow off at Shop to have it restrung the end of November. They said it d be 3 weeks and it would be done. So stopped back 3 weeks later, and still nothing done. Said it would be done in 2 more. Stopped back after 2 weeks still nothing. I'm a little perturbed. Have bought 2...

Went and pushed it out today. Went fairly slow. Kicked about 20 deer out. Found a big big bed. And blood in the bed, a spot about the size of a soft ball. Real deep colored blood. He didnt bleed, for the first 100 yards out of the bed. But then He cut loose again. The in about 150 yards quit...

(To answer a few questions) I was hunting by myself. But I do hunt with a family group on the weekend. And we didnt tag out, I shot him at last light. (And my bow buck wasnt chewed on by coyotes) All the deer I've shot over the years I've never had coyotes get ahold of one. I dont think the...

Ok, Scenario 80 yards, standing nice buck. 20 gauge shotgun. I put it right on the shoulder. He mule kicked, ran right into the timber. Waited 2 hours. Went and looked for blood. Not much blood finding a little here and a little there. And found a chunk of Bone with blood on it. Dead or alive...

I've been out shed hunting in early February before. And have seen a mature buck bird dogging a doe fawn like crazy wouldnt leave her side. So they re is always a few late ones that come into heat. If you can find one. You be in a hotspot.

This deer is dead more than likely. Sounds like you ve searched hard. But I wouldnt give up on him.

Dont be committed to the same stand locations. I shot my buck on the first sit in a stand ive never hunted before. Knew it was there. But never had hunted it. Dont be afraid to get aggressive and move in close to the bedding areas. And lastly have to have a little luck.
