Deer hunting BS thread

Reminds me of when I was that age, now I'm the one sweating on the stump

 

Very nice deer. Bet he is a happy camper

 

That’s what this lady said . It was a pit bull and a Jack Russell

 

nice buck! Congrats to the "youngin"

 

any luck on finding this deer?

 

New guy on cam. Only one pic from a couple days ago. There’s a decent rub right beside where he’s standing that’s been there for a couple weeks. Thinking it may be his

 

me too. 55 here

 

oh yea we have a group tex of people in the lease. now he is telling everyone the exact places there moving and the exact date of the rut. Lol all in fun. i texed congrats and that i sat in his stand yesterday morning and didnt see anything but the does i spooked. lol. he sent one more pic

 

he was suppose to call me and didnt. ive texed him still waiting. working on the tractors today.hope he missed or found it.

 

During elk rifle season, heard about 8-9 shots from one direction. Come to find out they WERE shooting at an elk, 3 of the shots were point blank range to "finish it off"...Ridiculous...

 

he called they looked hard for 2 hours and nothing. only a drop or two of blood.sounds like he is still out there to rut.

 

I got the post hunt blues.. Happy I've filled 2 out of 4 tags but was really hoping to get after an elk this year. Don't think I can get after one on my own this year. Maybe I'll bug my boss to let me hunt his ranch and shoot a raghorn. Gotta act fast before they move to their wintering grounds.

 

I forgot I made this video last year messing around.

that's disgusting

 

I’m on a small private tract right now. They’re developing the 120 acres that adjoins it and the assholes put the new road right off of the property line. I’m sitting in my stand now and just watched trucks drive in and out. Guess I’ll be moving back off the line some from now on

 

yes definitely, also a little scary because I could hear the bullets coming my way....eerie/creepy sound. I told myself if the bullets hit trees close to me Im outta here!

 

still on the mend of a chest cold and wife has a depredation cow elk tag. So today was going to be good weather, decided to go anyhow. Jumped 3 deer coming in, saw 13 more deer thoughout the afternoon, saw 4 or 5 elk...about 700ish yards away, our range finder couldnt pick up the distance, but the closest was 649ish and still 50 or more yards away from that. Someone could have made that shot, but the other downside is it was up a freaking hill! I dont know the area too well so It could have been a haul. We didnt shoot anyhow. Not bad for a first trip in a new location. Coughed up some lung oysters on the way out...and I must say Im feeling a lot better...LOL

 

dwalden,,keep an open mind, deer are purty damn curious of any unusual activity that doesn't pose a threat, sooooo if yer on a trail or something, ya may not want to stray too far.. used to hunt a farm on the eastern shore, after picking beans or corn, the farmer would leave a piece of equipment out on the field for a day or so...deer magnet...

 

Totally agree with you.
In 2013 I had a 13 pointer come in and he stopped and was watching the farmer across the road cutting corn. He went up to the road turned around and came back. He stepped into the path of my arrow.
A few years earlier I setting up a climbing stand and turned around and there was a big buck watching me. He must of heard the noise and was curious. He just turned around and walked away. Never saw him again.
