Deer hunting BS thread

I think I posted this in the archery thread before.1982 bowhunting and no idea what I was doing but was hooked for life after.

 

First bow kill about 40 years ago!!

 

Nice doe. Those old shoulder quivers were so cool.

 

Had?

 

Wow, check out the hair. What year was this, early 80's? Looks like Pittsburg Steelers Sweater. Was nice to be young once, wasn't it.

 

That's pretty dam impressive for an 8 year old.

 

Posting these first buck or deer pics, is showing your age. Some of you guys are approaching "Old Fart" status.

 

That was probably 78-79 the jersey was from our floor hockey team in high school my team was the Hair Bear Bunch.

 

Feeling good enough to get out today for the first of Ohio's 2 bonus gun days - hadn't hunted since the opener as I have been sick for about 10 straight days. Again, cold as shit and snowed all morning - got another 3-4 inches of powder. Heard 1 closer shot from behind the blind (naturally, minimal windows). 5 minutes later I see a deer back that way ....a doe thru the scope. Nothing else, just standing there 50-60 yards away. Then when I look again, I see another smaller/similar-sized deer behind it and a larger one a bit behind it. Couldn't see either of their heads as they were behind trees. Assumed it was the doe and 2 yearlings that my in-laws frequently see on their property. They start running away toward the property line and the thick shit. Wind is in my face and I pick up the doe, then the second one in my scope - a spike, 6-8" long ones. Finally I get the 3rd deer in my scope and it is a racked buck, not huge, but if I could have gotten a shot, I would have taken it. Once they got in the thick shit, I could occasionally see movement/body parts but had no idea which deer was which. So, I passed on a few 'iffy' chances. I try to hold out for a buck until the last 2 days of muzzleloader (Jan 4-7 this year) otherwise, the first doe standing broadside would have been an easy shot.

Until tomorrow.....

Oh, it's gonna be in the teens to start the morning!!!!

 

Very cool!

Posted these before.
My biggest Tom ,25# and shot with my Northstar West .62 jug choked smoothie. North Central Pa 2010 season.



40# female blondie shot with Lyman .54 with a patched roundball. Called in with mouth calls.

Nothing like using real Holy Black!

 

No shit.
Not my first, that's in one of the boxes somewhere.
Probably my 3rd Buck and a Doe.
1978

 

Awesome picture.

 

I’m waiting for @StayinStock to post some of his black & white pictures.

 

He’s never killed a deer, why would he, he doesn’t know how to cook.

Congratulations

 

Great buck!
