What that guy did tooting his horn is against the law. It is the intentional disruption of hunting. A crime. For real tho.
How is everybody's white-tailed deer season going?

Killed a 10 pointer on opening day!! no complaints here, as i waited until the last 5 minutes of season last year!!! Saw a lot of nice whitetail bucks, but only ONE nice mule deer buck....which is an oddity for my area, as historically we are predominately a mule deer area

We've got 2 days left here and then a week of muzzleloader shooting but so far it's been scarce. Guys are getting bucks here but so far all I've seen are does. Lots of coyotes though, so I'm looking forward to that after deer season closes. Took several deer carcasses that had been meated and set those out in a few different places, that'll help draw the coyotes in. In theory at least...

seeing a lot of young deer, but the mature deer aren't moving much yet. I think anyday now they should start moving around a bit more. We've got until february 28th, but hopefully by december I'll have something nice down.

No bucks for me thus far. Took a doe during PA's early muzzleloader season--first time with black powder. Missed a 6-point morning of NY's regular opener with that same muzzleloader. Shot and killed a doe late the same day, but we were unable to find her until the next morning and, unfortunately, the coyotes found her first ... ate the hams out of her. Still tagged and reported her, but didn't bring her home. Filled another antlerless tag a few days later, so two in the freezer. Saw several doe first day of PA's regular season, but I'd already used my doe tag. Saw no antlers.
Hope to get out again a couple more times before the regular season is over. If unsuccessful, I'll try again after Christmas during the primitive (open sight flintlocks) season, when my remaining tag is good for either buck or doe.

The old hag doe just wont die. Took off a little early today to go out and try and snipe the old gray faced doe. I opened the safe and the first rifle sitting there was my sons ruger m77 .308 win. So i grabbed it and a couple shells and headed out. The nanny doe came into a feild from where i did not expect. Range finder said 285 yards a very makeable shot. I got greedy and went for a neck shot instead of body. Well i missed and she lives to piss me off another day.
Tomorrow i am taking my .300 win i no its overkill but with her it might barley be enough.

Great.
I didn't see much action during bow season, but at least I was out in the woods.
I got a nice sized 8 point on opening day, then a button buck that I thought was a doe.
Last week I got another button buck.
I've really got to work on that. . . I hate to take 6 month old bucks, but they grow pretty well up here in farm country, so from a distance it's hard to tell how big they are or aren't.
Next season I really want to fill my antler-less tags with matriarch does.

I saw plenty of deer, and i hunted nearly every day of the rifle season. I let a 4 point go by early on the first day and shot this buck opening evening,
Where i live, we can buy 5 doe tags a DAY, and fill them how ever we want durning the season, but i only shot two does of the 8 to 13 deer i saw every day, that's all the meat i need, and i shared some of that... I did also saw some spikes, but no other bigger bucks...

Tagged the fattest buck I can recall. 190lbs field dressed. 10 point buck I've been hunting three days. This afternoon was the day.. 210 yards .243 80 grain fell where he stood. Perfect. I'll eat him all winter long!---

Well, it all depends.
As for the seeing part, I have seen some really nice ones even with the drought we have had. I hunt several places, my own small 100acre or so place, and being blessed with some REALLY great friends, their two properties of 500 and 1500 acres. On all three places the drought has taken a noticeable toll on the deer but there are still those few which are in the WOW category.
Sunday before last I was hunting their 500 acre place, when after being told if I saw one of the big 6's, to get him, I put this brute down. He wasn't exactly one of the ones they were talking about or had been seeing, but they were pretty glad I took him out.
A report from the rancher who has our 100 acres leased has it that there is a large racked buck with a drop tine working the area pretty hard as well. He lives across the road from our place and said he is pretty sure it has been crossing over from his place to ours on a regular basis. We haven't caught him on any of the game cams, but they are going back up this weekend, along with a presence in the one pasture by the daughter and grandson.
He might not have had the largest rack, but his body size was huge for the area, compared to most everything else we had been seeing. The old scales put him at 175# field dressed, and after both my bud and I drug him close to a hundred yards, I am not doubting them one bit.
Back on our 100 acre place, we knew we had a good one make it through last season and hopes were high the daughter or especially the grandson would get him, or that I might possibly get him during archery season or later with my bow. Well as luck would have it, I didn't get the chance, the Friday after Thanksgiving, the daughter, persistent as she is, put the hammer down on this one,
The oldest grandson chose to go with me to my friends place that Friday morning, and passed on his chance, but we saw plenty of VERY nice ones and even had seven does within 10yds of us, which is the real kick for him.

Got a decent 6 pointer on Halloween...
on my way home from work...
At 3 am...
With my truck...
No damage to truck with my winch bumper out front but what a mess.
Hit him directly in the rear... hard enough to make the insides explode out the rear end all over the grill, hood and windsheild.
I'm still getting small bits of him off the truck from time to time... errrg yuck.
Oddly I've had no desire to go hunting since...
Always next year...

We're up in Knox county, in the north east part of the state. The group that went hunting there during normal firearms season cleaned up pretty well too with everybody filling their tags. I've only done the regular firearms season down there once because of the cost (225 for non resident). I'd love to go back again... there are some awesome bucks around there. I found a nice 5 point shed while I was out there for antlerless and I'd love to go back and get the rest of that deer.

Got a nice doe today at about 150 yards. I love my Knight Bighorn .50 cal muzzle loader. That was a nothing shot for it.

Shot an old doe yesterday morning. I had barely gotten the bottom platform of my Summit Viper on the tree when I heard the footsteps. Luckily, I hadn't unloaded for the climb yet. There were enough trees between us that I was able to get my rifle up. She had me pegged at 20 yards but didn't know what she was looking at. When she started quartering away, she got a 150gr. Core-lokt behind the shoulder.
Didn't weigh her, but I'd bet she was at least close to 100lbs. dressed.
Meat in the freezer.

got one 900 acre lease I hunt regular, loaded with hogs and deer, kill every hog I see, if I kill a deer it will ruin my beer drinkin and may have to go home to process it so, I drink my beer, enjoy my campfire, slay hogs by the dozen, sleep if I want to, enjoy life. nobody says you got to hunt, especially dawn and dusk, have killed some of my best deer in the middle of the day. life is good.

One old over the hill 5 point with a scrawny rack shot early on. I've had a 9 or 10 point with good spread (5 on one side) at my feeder in my camera pix, but haven't seen him in a while, just mostly does. Figure a neighbor might have gotten him. No acorns, feed is attracting and fattening the hogs. I'm butchering a nice sized boar I caught in the trap the other day. Just took a break because my fingers had gone numb from the cold meat. Going duck hunting this weekend, open of the second split. I've been so after that 10 point I've been neglecting my fav sport, waterfowl.
