Nice looking deer!Little better pic of him. Been a damn good bow season so far.
Great deer. Things are definitely starting up. Saturday I had a 3pt and two spikes that would not let this doe stand still. Everytime she stopped one was on her backsideWell, I went out last week. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Frustrated as all hell I went back to work this week for three days. Got grumpy, there goes another vacation day with the hurricane. Woke of this morning really not feeling it. Rain just quit, hunted last week 4 days and didn't even see one deer I wanted to shoot and I'm not very picky. No yearlings and Spikes or fours, maybe let a six go, maybe depending on my mood.
Something clicked today, I remember things "when it quits raining get out there" and I think the wasting another vacation day, except on purpose or laziness. So I made eggs for me and the dog and out I went. 7:05 I hear a noise behind me to the right. I look and see nothing. Then right in front down low a doe shoots by, then another deer. Too fast for heading to the bedding and not running. SOMEONE IS CHASING TAIL! But its too dark to see. The latter deer slows and in the low light it looks like a fork horn to me. I sigh and relax. I couldn't kill the doe and I got to let the forky walk. They head into the bedding area on the neighbors pines and it dies down. Maybe the other does will come, I need meat for caning.
8:05 Snap, She-I-it, there is an 8 point where they went into the bedding area. He turns and walks away from me. No, No, I grab my grunt call and "Urpp" and he stops and looks my way, then keeps walking away. "Damn" I grab the grunt call and slid it from B to D and "Mawww" His neck snaps like "Hey baby!" and starts heading my way. From 40+ yards out he heads at me zigging and zagging and not even a good quarting to shot and I don't like them for bow. At 15 yards, he got a sniff and the wind was heading that way, he let is slide. At five yards he's all rubby on the russian olive and put out the reobital gland smell. It looks to me like we are making eye contact. Steps right under my tree and stops. Put him in the crossbow scope thinking, I've never spined one, but its a crossbow and turning to the other side will make noise, lets go!
Twack, He instantly collapsed and hardly moved his front feet. Made some noise and at 20 seconds his head slipped down the tree and lights out. The arrows was sticking out 2" under the fetching still. The HBX head is amazing. I will post in the other braodhead thread about it.
Where are you at?Where about do you hunt. I had a buck on camera earlier this year that looks just like him.

Nice work!I took this 9-point buck on Saturday morning at the spot I've been hunting/scouting the past two years. This is my eighth season hunting deer and this is my personal best buck. He's now in cubes in my deep freezer, except for the filet mignons which we will eat over the next few days. We'll turn the cubes into hamburger and sausages. He was definitely rutting.
I saved the head with a plan to do a Euro mount. If anyone can point me to a video or article on a good method, please do. I have previously used the "leave it out in the woods for a year" method but with so many coyotes around my area now, I'm afraid it will be gone if I try that way.
Good hunting everyone.
Its funny, I used to have a buck that I got on camera for 3 years straight from april-september, then I would never see him again. Im 90% sure he was shot near pretty boy last November.Westminster. So unless that deer can drive it isn’t the same one. They look the same to me. Especially that long G2 on the left antler.

Any way to hunt up next to the rez(I realize it is probably enormous)? Look for escape routs maybe? Funnels?

I had Charlie Culbertson do a nice 8pt WV deer for me a couple years ago. He was the best price around and I did not even get a friends discount LOL. I will look for some pics.I took this 9-point buck on Saturday morning at the spot I've been hunting/scouting the past two years.
