Nice congratulations

My 16 year old daughter got this one this morning. It was the first deer we saw this morning, at about 820 AM. He was cruising for does and she was able to put a great shot on him at about 95 yards with her .243, he didn't go anywhere! Then it was all hugs and celebrations!!!
I'm so proud of her!!!

I went up and left tote full of cloths in woods yesterday pm, checked cams and again was sad he was not on em, woke up at four and was headed to spot by 5:10 got in tree about 6:15 settled in cold breeze in my face but thankfully I had not sweat on the way in. At about 7:25 had a small spike come thru with in five yards away from my tree. Talked to dad, at 8 decided we would sit till 10/10:30. At around 9:30 I hear crashing on the flat below me right against the ledge my tree is on’ look down doe coming fast around the ledge face, kinda panting then some more crashing and he bolted thru not ten feet behind her, when they cleared the ledge which is only like 25 yards I let him have it, hit him right behind front shoulder watch him fall, jump up look at the doe and start to grunt, bang I hit him again almost in same spot watching his side covered in blood he falls again, and to my surprise stands up and starts to grunt again I let him have it this time thru the lungs, now turns to barel off the mtn and I shot him again this time right thru front shoulder which ended him
DXT congrats to your daughter, and all the other successful hunters

Congrats Killercrow..What a slammer!!

Couldn’t be happier connecting at 7:10 this morning after hiking in almost 2 miles in the moon light to a spot I preset last weekend on public. Had a small come bear by at first light then this guy showed up shortly after milling around. Hell of a drag in the jet sled but worth all the effort.
-
Way to go guys. My group of 4 stuck it out from 5 am till 434 sunset not deer taken . I passed on a nice 6 point only legal buck we all seen. Tough cold day sitting on the ground but still beats work . Back at it in am hopefully some moving.
-
Sweet bucks guys.. (beers)
-
Way to get it done guys, congratulations...KillerCrow that is awesome buck!
I slept in this morning but afternoon hunt nothing was moving and not a shot within miles. I have not seen much daylight activity buck or doe in a week hopefully with waning moon it will get them moving again.
-
Awesome deer my friend congratulations!!!
-
.:rifle:. thought it couldn't get much better than my crossbow buck till I took this big guy9 am yesterday. had to wait him out for almost a half hour while he paced back and forth tending a doe, finally stepped into a spot and the 280 with my pet handloads did the job again 25 yds a piled up had to go get the 4 wheeler wasn't going to drag him out bum left leg scaled #155 dressed 8pt 5 on right 3 on left. you had to see the scars and wound on his neck from fighting, good luck to all safe hunting. they were on the move
-
Great deer everyone congratulations! Thanks for sharing!
-
Awesome congrats, I harvested small doe this am only a bear tag left looks like time to lace up boots and find a bear
-
DXT -- I'm impressed that your daughter wound head out in that cold weather. Congratulations to her.
There are a lot of nice bucks being taken but I'm proud to show the doe I took yesterday. At 67 I hiked in 1.5 miles and sat and froze all morning. Buy 12:45 God provided me with a legal deer and I gladly took it. Was just as excited as my first deer many years ago. That's why I still hunt. Then I had to drag it out. Glad I had a friend to help me. Shot was a little too far back but was still a double lung shot.

Congrats Warren, I hope I'm still hiking in a few miles at 67!
My daughter, yes I was afraid that it was going to be to cold for her. I got some of my old hunting clothes out for her, the 10x coveralls she is wearing were mine from when I was her age, and she was also wearing a lot of other layers underneath, combine that with "grandpas" old heavy duty hunting hat and it made the hunt even that much more sentimental, truly a moment we will never forget! Thank you for your kind words, and congratulations to you also!

Awesome deer everyone! And a special congrats to Nick and Berlin! Way to lay them down.

Done for the season this afternoon at 1510 hrs. Did some blind calling and within 2 minutes a small 8 came running out of the thick hemlocks and ran down the ridge, figuring that another buck must have run him out. Sure enough couple minutes later here comes this buck cruising at about 40 yds. I doe bleated with my mouth, he stopped and the rest is history. His left G3 was broken in half.
-
Congrats ATS, nice buck. Great season for you!
-
Thanks DXT, the past four days I've seen 4 shooters including this buck and 5 smaller bucks. Bow season i was seeing 5 shooters and numerous smaller bucks. I hunt different areas with bow and gun . This has been the best season for the number of mature bucks I've seen in many years.

There’s a lot of truth to that. What was considered trophy status back then is now mediocrity. I have taxidermy and pictures starting with my beginning years (72) to present day. Genetics and the 3 point rule are key factors. One very important aspect which is rarely mentioned on the 3 point rule is the slow but steady increase in the buck to doe ratio. So very important for a healthy herd. I have with out a doubt been seeing this in the last 3 years. We still have a long way to go but at least it’s in a positive direction.
-
Great Buck Take Em, congratulations! 😃
-
Beautiful buck. Awesome spread
-
Thanks for all the comments guys. I never even saw this buck before. It was an action packed morning around my stand and the patience paid off in the end.

So true! Trophy bucks from years ago are so- so compared to some of the bucks being taken in the last several years.

Went hunting with my good friends this morning. I got a text that a nice tall rack was heading my way, I decided to hang my tag on him. I waited for my buddy and his son so he could track it. He did a good job tracking him, got a smile on his face and said "i don't think that is a rock". It was really nice having a young and up coming hunter be a part of it! Good times!

Yes, it was fun! I love seeing the kids involved in hunting, I can't wait to see Conner get his first deer!
-
Nice buck, and great job getting the kid involved!
-
That’s a good buck. The bears should stand out nicely with this snow.
-
That’s a good buck. The bears should stand out nicely with this snow.
+1 But it might be hard getting up where I was hunting if they get 1or 2 feet of snow,LOL Plus it may just kick em in to their dens. We shall see.
-
Been a while since anyone has posted pics of deer.. I know this snow screwed everything up for me. Way to deep to walk up the mountain. I made it about 1/4 of the way to my spot yesterday morning and turned around. lol I must be getting old as i couldnt walk up hill in a foot of snow.. I ended up sitting in a spot till about 9am and said it time to pack my hunting stuff till next year. Had a interesting season hunted about 5 times with my daughter she had 2 opportunity's on 2 nice bucks but had 2 miss fires on 2 different days both deer were broadside within 45yards. If you could have seen the looks on our faces. LOL
-
That sucks Ron.... I can honestly say that Rifle would not have made the walk back to the truck in one piece....!
-
Long, tough season got a lot better yesterday. Was able to track this guy to his bed and take him out before he even stood up. My 2 good friends shot nice bucks yesterday as well.
-
Great late season buck
-
Nice one Relf. Congratulations
-
Nice one Relf, congratulations!
-
Nice buck , congrats... (beers)
-
Nice buck. Good job.
-
Congratulations bro!
-
Thanks everyone, some may remember I hit a good 8 during bow and never recovered. Good news is he showed up on camera looking good 13 days after the shot. Hopefully he stays healthy and survives, or I can finish him off w my muzzleloader tag. When we cut up the deer later this week I’ll post a pic of the 3 we got yesterday.
-
Nice one. Congrats
-
Congrats Relf!! Good luck in the late season with the buck you had history with during archery season.
-
That sucks Ron.... I can honestly say that Rifle would not have made the walk back to the truck in one piece....!
Trust me if it didnt have a $300 scope on it it would have been wrapped around a tree. Anyone with a Ruger American better keep a eye on the bolt because it doesnt lock closed at all and if it slides up a half inch it wont fire. Sweet buck Relf.. (beers)
-
Good buck relf. That’s a tough break Ron.
-
Congratulations Relf 25. Majestic buck!
-
Nice buck Relf Congratulations

I decided to finish filling the freezer with the Muzzy today. Held out all year waiting for my 2nd target buck and if I connected I would not have used my DMP. I can't wait to see what next years bucks will look like I have at least 5 up and comers that will be shooters next year. My target buck is looking good and not run down in my last pic of him so with this years banner acorn crop I am confident he will be in good shape this winter unless we get huge snows. I estimate him around 115-118" now cant wait to see what he becomes next year!
Might try on Sunday one last time but unless big boy steps out I'm pretty much done for season.
-
Congrats Pat. I too filled the freezer with a doe first doe in 10 years. First time in 13 years I didn't fill my buck tag because I was after 1 specific buck. Passed a few decent bucks but like you said "hope they get bigger". I am totally OK with shooting a doe over a buck just to shoot a buck. Not how I used to think. lol
-
Didnt want to waste any meat on that one did ya Pat..lol (beers)
-
Haha, I dropped my CVA in the blind a day ago and looks to be hitting a bit high now.... oops. Took out some back strap on the first shot but dropped her in her tracks, had an oh crap moment when she got back up and needed to reload in a hurry was able to follow up another at 75y thru some thick stuff and she went 10y.
Switched to 100% lead hollow point sabot, if it was the other copper bullets I probably would have not been so lucky with the poor expansion.
