08-09 deer season
 

anyone had any luck yet? pics?

Hopefully in November:D

I bagged 2 does on 15 Sep 08. I didn't have my camera at the time. They were both young (no spots though). Taste great!

They're coming into town daily around here. Lady in a Navigator bagged (?) one as I drove by this week, and I almost did the same on a huge buck Tuesday. Find the river and the deer will find you.

Going with my father for the first time Thanksgiving Week up in the PA mountains. I've been with him during field dressing when I was a kid, but besides that I've never been hunting.

bucks for the boys SC
 

Hey guys , not into showing off my deer as much as my nephews.
these are there first bucks. Shot in South Carolina this year.
Future SF material , these boys can shoot. I will have to wrestle them away from the marines tho. My brother was career Jarhead :)
Bradley is 12 and the one with the eight point Trevor is 8yrs old. Shot a 270 150 yrds perfect heart shot.
Enjoy

Thanks for sharing the photos. I'm biding my time until I can take my son on his first adventure :D

Out with my bow yesterday. Didn't even see one. Might move to another location as this is the first year hunting the property and I know I don't have the deer pattered .

Full moon and corn in nearby fields is not helping where I am hunting.

Did see a rub in the area where I hung a stand for my boy. Waiting for him to hunt that area. He hasn't had a chance to go yet due to sports and school. Hopefully I can get him out there soon.

Leaves were down, leaving a foot carpet of leaves everywhere. Beautiful.

Finally got the hang of my tree saddle. Really like it. Anyone thinking of buying one PM me with questions and I'll give you the straight scoop.

Heading out this Saturday looking for some tasty doe meat to add to the freezer. Supposed to be drizzly with some possible snow. Means more noise for cover and longer that I get to hang the quarry when they're dressed. Hopefully will have some pictures soon.

hdgb, nice deer!
Been out a couple times, seeing ALOT more pre-rut sign, still no luck. Still plenty of season though. Though it is past time to arrow something :)

Headed out on Sun for Montana. Hope to be returning in 10 days with 3 cows and 2 does for our hunting party.

Congrats to all who have bagged an animal this year !

I made a rule for myself that I would try to only take a buck bigger than the last one and would settle for does to stock the freezer.

Unfortunately 2 years ago I killed a 13 pt buck near my house so unless I see an 8 pt with a spread like a moose it could be a few years. :(

North Woods Hunt
 

I spent the last week "up north" Temps were from 20 to 30 degrees. Started on the 8th with fresh 1" of snow,great to highlight deer in the woods. I got a nice doe that morning, slip hunted for a few more days, and at 0830 on veterans day I was working a very nice area with good sign when I got a nice 8 point. (4x4 for some of you) The .308 did what I ask. Field dressed he weighed 180 lbs. Not big, but a nice buck. Saw 12 deer over the course of a week in the woods, heard a few more. Sure was nice mid-week after the city hunters went home. Lucky if they go more than 200m off the road. Which leaves us LOTS of forest to roam in. Pics are still at the camp so I cannot post.

Congratulations on your successful hunt, make sure you don't forget the pics.
