You want kill big buck go behind observatory they are there all people knows where they are.
Where was this? (Asking for a friend, me.)Went out today and saw quite a few bucks. 2 of which were full blown sparing. Seemed a bit early for that kinda behavior. Fun to watch tho.
Out in the mountains. Near that bush by the shrub on that hillside. You know that spot right?Where was this? (Asking for a friend, me.)
Sun-up to Sun-down hunkered down in my natural blind in the shade several different overnighters this week (took off PTO for it)... in 95F... and absolutely no animals passed by. It was bleepin' miserable.
Buck?I am skinning and butchering another D16 A22 deer tonight shot by a member on this forum. Gonna do it with my youth group from church. Should be fun. What’s the hold up guys get it done the d16 deer are thick.
Nah a doe it was his first deer. Super pumped for him hopefully @AbeLincoln will put the story up this weekend. He definitely took a lesson from hatchet on this one. Got it done!Buck?
Are you sitting water?
AmenCazadorsuert, Hunting is a sweet and pleasent misery written by one much better with words than me. That's what makes it a great pursuit now and a wonderful memory in the later years when you can't do it any more.
If you’re going to sit a blind this early in the season I’d find water or a heavily used trail to water. Otherwise get on your glass. My 2 cents. The mountain lion isn’t interested in you, and if it was a tent wouldn’t deter it.No. Not exactly. I say not exactly because there is a private property nearby with horses... so I know they have water in there though. And several breaks in the fence line that they cross thru.
On one of my early scouting missions a few years back now, I just brought in bivvy and air pad only and slept open-air (which I later learned what a dangerous mistake that was after viewing trailcam pics of MtnLion passing by that spot at 2-3am, Eek!). While sleeping open air... during the night you'd hear their hound protective-barking various times throughout the night. I figure it was barking at the deer coming in to drink from the horse troughs most likely.
The other thought I've had is that perhaps with all the rain and the resultant massive growth it created this year... that perhaps it makes them less dependent on returning to that private property to forage for their acorns this year. At least not yet anyway.
But this place isn't like they pass by every single day either. I just have to play a numbers game and keep putting my body out there and just make sure I don't mess up when an opportunity finally presents itself.
It just sucks because the last two times I got it done nice and early in the season.
Nice.. congrats to him. Eatin' good in the neighborhoodNah a doe it was his first deer. Super pumped for him hopefully @AbeLincoln will put the story up this weekend. He definitely took a lesson from hatchet on this one. Got it done!
Got it all quartered and skinned tonight gonna process it in the morning. She was old big doe lots of fat. Definitely some healthy deer this year with all the food out there.
