Dog was barking it's head off at this guy wandering the forest edge at the top of the trail where I usually do bow only to be more neighborly. Good timing on his part for next week.

Withstood the wind, and was rewarded with a 8 point buck this evening! Got him at 25 yards, using a 250 grain bullet I casted, being pushed by 90 grains of 3f.
he was at an odd angle and my bullet went in the shoulder and came out farther behind on the opposite side. I was a little worried it was going to be “messy”, but luckily nothing hit gut!

Congrats

Sweet! It appears the more mature bucks are on the move, something I've always witnessed when I used to hunt the early ML season. Time for me to climb into a tree with my bow!

Very nice buck. Congrats.

Thank you

This weekend was a bust. Swirling winds, and even when the wind was in my face the deer kept spotting me.

Definitely shity wind this week. It pretty much left opportunities to early morning and late afternoon sets. I noticed calm wind in both cases. I think that's why most of the deer were taken late and early in the days. Sporadic rain didn't help things.

Friend and I got a couple does over the 3 day mzl. As luck would have it, I'm losing one farm but my bud got us another. Seeing some deer around. No shooter bucks, but seeing small buck activity.

You're like I used to be, lose one spot and gain one or two more. I call it the 'Seinfeld effect'. I think my luck is running low though...

 

[TwinTurbskis]

No shots fired for me, have been holding out for this nice mature 8-point that I know has been hanging around. Soon I will give up though and whack a couple does for the freezer. Can't wait for it to get a little bit colder.
