Good luck, Calcium! Hope you have a great time.

Good luck calcium. Hope you lay down a big one.

I've been out of town this week, but I am going to hit it hard the next few days and hopefully get on a nannerhead.

Congrats on all the killing boys! I've been at it pretty hard with not a lot of sightings so far. May have the chance to go to KY this upcoming week. Hopefully it all works out. 1000 acres private land with a gun and the rut heating up. Could get good

I let a nice 2 1/2 6 walk yesterday morning at 5 yds. I would love to have shot him but I would rather see what he is next year.

I like the way you think. I hadn't hunted since I killed my buck. Went made a check at my spots. LOTS of sign since the rain last week. Fixin to get after them again. Good luck to all you guys. Hope y'all get some big ones.

Got us some points yesterday...10pt

Great buck, Calcium. Congrats!

Wow awesome buck calcium! What's the story behind it. Looks like a Midwest deer. I head to KY 5am Wednesday morning with hopes of killing one like that!

HOLY CHIT!!!! That's a fine deer calcium. Cangrats on that one man. I sure do miss hunting the Midwest. My buddies are leaving for pike co. Missouri wed. morning. Wish I was still goin with them. Lets hear the story.

Thanks guys! The deer scored 148 7/8. My best bow kill by far!
I was supposed to leave one of my jobs in Evergreen late morning or lunch time headed to the camp. All hell broke loose and I didn't leave until about 5:00 so I didn't roll into the camp til about 1 a.m. Got up at 4:30 and got in a tree, had a buck of a lifetime come in directly behind me around 7:45/8:00, there was some spruce and cedar trees behind me so the deer was basically walking on pine straw, I never heard him til he was 30 yards behind me...he ended up walking 8 steps from my tree...he looked up at me, he didn't bust me but knew something wasn't right! He looked away one time and I was able to get my bow and get my release hooked up, I just needed him to look away one more time and he weas dead! He knew something wasn't right and went back about 30-40 yards behind me and hung out for 5 minutes trying to figure out what wasa going on and then left...I'm guessing he was in the 170's...If I would of had a throwing star I could of killed him. To say I was sick was an understatement!
Fast forward to that evening, the buck I killed came out and hooked a tree and made a scrape about 80 yards from me before coming in the field. he was 44 yards from me when I ranged him to shoot but he turned and went around a big cedar tree in the field. I quickly ranged the side where he was going to step out and it was 28 yards. I drew back waiting on him, I could barely see him through the tree then he decided to make another scrape with just his head and neck showing...I would say it lasted a solid minute and a half to 2 minutes before he finished up. When he walked out, I couldn't hold it much longer, he was quartering to me just a tad and I let it eat!
Let him lay for an hour and went looking for him, I heard what i thought was him get up so I eased back out and came back in the moring. It was extremely foggy so i didn't get started until about 7:30...he was def the hardest deer I've ever tracked since I didn't get a complete pass through! Ended up finding him around 10:15/10:30. It's hard to say how far he went, he made a big U, if I had to guess, I would say he went 3-400 yards!Craziest thing about the whole thing is about 80 yards from where he died, he walked about 20' off of the trail he was on to either check a scrape or make one! There was blood the size of a basketball at the scrape! A whitetail's desire to live is unbelievable! I was hunting by myslef, even had to use the new option on iPhone where you set the timer to take the picture...lol...If ya'll could of seen me propping camera up on four-wheeler, pressing the button, and then jumping down there with the deer and waiting for it to take the pic I'm sure it was pretty comical...I was truely blessed and humbled by the whole experience!

Great deer and great story. Congrats again.

Got us some points this afternoon, shot me a doe. Going to take the morning off and get back out there tomorrow afternoon.

Well KY was a bust. Beautiful property just not many mature deer around. At the farm now for the gun opener. Saw 8 yesterday afternoon, and 6 so far this morn. No racks, and no shots. Hoping for some luck today cause my wife will be behind the trigger tomorrow.

Good luck to all you guys hunting the opener. I'm gonna wait and go next week so my wife and kids can come. We're gonna have thanksgiving at the camp. Hope the kids can score. Congrats Jwb on the doe.

I ain't playing no more shucks done got real round here.

Good luck to y'all hunting the gun opener in the morning. I'm back at work and will be the next few days. I'll be back after them next week though.
