Deer hunting BS thread

6 pointer down ! He is no monster but after hunting hard so many hours he is a trophy in my book . He came to the grunt call .

 

Froze my ass off. Could not feel my toes .

 

Shot the 6 pointer at 1045 when it was just warming up to 17 degrees

 

My feet get cold easy, so I bought a pair of the socks that hold the hot hand pouches, works good for me.

 

I’m going to try the battery operated ,wireless socks next year . I’m afraid to look how much $$$$ they are .

 

Was looking at them a while back, there around $140 but might need them down the line. Also look at these http://bunnyboots.com/ I wear these up here in the arctic at work, there goofy looking but they work.

 

welp, when the ass goes, the toes, usually aint far behind!............

 

Just getting out when it’s that cold is dedication,let alone killing a deer!! Good job my friend!!

 

Thanks , I appreciate that !

 

I have the Arctic Shield boot blankets . They work OK . I brought them up in the stand but never put them on . The moon was so bright I did not want to be seen moving around

 

Was also noisy on frozen snow and ground this morning.

 

got this little guy yesterday morning, sat in a bush rattling antlers together and he came running out looking for a challenge,
well he found it haha.

 

Very Nice!!

 

Hunted this morning. our group of 6 has had good year so far, me no biguns. cant get up the mtn. like i use to.one of our bunch killed this today. i watched a 6pt chase a doe around at my pig pen blind.

 

Well had 2 does and a button head that I watched for 45 mins or so. I could tell one of the does was noticeably bigger (~20lbs or so) but they were in some tight pines and I only had a few shooting options. The first time the big one got in a good spot, the smaller one stepped right behind her. I lost sight of the big one for 20 mins or so and just watched the other 2 deer peek in and out from behind trees when I noticed the big one had made it farther down to my right so as soon as I had an open opportunity I popped both lungs, however I miscounted the total number of deer because as the shot echoed, 6 flags went up haha. She ran about 50 yards and breathed her last.

 

you all are getting some good ones! It's slow here with the temp up to 40 at 1pm. About to head back out in 39 degrees and light rain.
