Deer hunting BS thread

It’s whitetail season but axis are getting comfy now. Time to get some spotties and whitetail before season ends in January.

 

Apparently thanksgiving is one word so over look the thumb nail

I primarily hunt for meat, last year I held out for a nice buck and got a nice one for me. Full rut buck vs a tasty doe...I'll take the doe every time!

 

Exactly! Late or early season bucks taste much better. And antlers are disgusting unless you're a dog

 

I got a nice 2.5yr old doe this season and I had a sample of backstrap and tenderloins...and shes going to makes some tasty meals later this year!

 

I didn't get a thing last year. Really missing that brown woodland ninja goodness!

There was a large bodied and heavy antlered 8-10+ point buck last year that I missed twice on the property. I hope he's still there this weekend! That would be the only deer I'd specifically hunt

 

if you have the time go for it...if you are limited, Id take the first nice mature doe or even a smaller buck, as they are still good eating but are usually just as big or bigger than a mature doe.

 

Yep

 

I would totally come pick up an Axis if you want to drop one and quarter it up.

@phillstill
You going to make it out to y’all lease?

 

Yeah. We are heading out there Dec 26th and staying till either our coolers are full or New Years eve.

 

Something doesn't belong here

 

Dang man did you bag one someone else had tagged earlier?

 

It was in the back strap.

 

I was in a club and a guy shot a buck in bow season right under his stand that he never found... Some one shot it later with a rifle. Best we can figure the arrow hit a rib or shoulder and went straight down the back strap. The guy thought he made a good shot since it burried all the way up in the deer but it stayed out of the vitals. Arrows can do crazy things

 

My buddies and I have killed 2 bull elk that we have found broadheads in. Both were totally healed over.

 

I had a buddy shoot a pronghorn with a rifle out in South Dakota. When they were cleaning the skull they found a broadhead lodged in the eye socket. It was the craziest thing I'd ever seen.

 

You can have an axis hide that’s in my freezer. I have enough tanned. Need the freezer space.

 

looking for a threepeat with this girl (first was her at 1 sitting while me and my wife loaded a doe I busted, and the 2nd is her help track my wife's deer last year, we didn't find it but she got one in the same stand the next day, that's the pj pic from a few pages ago)
