I'm out my buddy hit a 10 pt and can't find it I'm going to help him

They are still chasing big time here on Long Island...saw a slammer on Tuesday afternoon hot on the trail of a doe.... dead deer all over the highway and county roads.

Not happening here thinging lock down no road kills here either?
Buddy put a bad shot on the 10 pt shoulder muscle hit little penetration little blood followed for over 500 yds never bedded.Waited 3 hrs before looking

That deer will live. Smack your buddy upside the head and go kill that 10.

I did it was a chip shot 18 yds broadside in the wide opened

Goodness. I don't even have a pin until 30 yards. Arrow still in him?

Keep after them Dan. I'll keep checking in...

25 mph with stronger gusts has me sidelined this am
I get some work done evaluate the wind for the afternoon but be back at it tomorrow for sure
As of today 1 week left of bow season

Must be.
I sat 12 hours yesterday and saw 6 bucks by 8:30 and a doe w fawn.
None of the bucks seemed to have much on their minds. Did witness 2 bucks in the 125" range square off but one of them did a snort wheeze and the other just backed off, first time to ever hear it in the wild.

I think the rut is just getting started here, was sitting in a buddies Ladder stand yesterday had 5 does & fawns walk buy, 25 + winds but the deer were moveing, about 5:00 a nice 10pt came by, all I could see was Antlers in the thick brush, Tried to bleat at him to stop, it did he was 30 yrds quartering away, I droped him, spine, he pulled hiself into an open spot, Food Plot and I shot him in the neck, he was done the old Slick Tricks worked again! I cant post pics I did send one to 2muchgun, maybe he will post it for me!

Good for you saddlering, Congratulations, looking forward to pics!

I can do that John. Gimme a few. Hunted hard today. Am now relaxing with my good pal Elijah Craig......

Saddlering's 10 pt........

Oh, that's a good'n!

On the way out again this morning.

Second week in a row that the one road through a certain area, without a detour for a pretty long way, there's an accident traffic stoppage. Second week in a row for a fatality within a mile of each other. Yeah, I'll be damned late getting into the woods - again - but some family is going to have a far, far worse day. Just keeping it in perspective.

congrats Saddlering


I hunted yesterday afternoon on my 3 rd property that I havent got any pictures of any shooter buck on.

I was greeted by the home owner when I got out of the Jeep and he hands me the phone the neighbor tree hugger next door wants to talk to me
I have a stand apparently on their property by a couple feet. She was nice but said she was uncomfortable bla bla bla, I told here no sweat would move it if she wanted.

So as I walked in jumped a spike out of creek bed. Then another small buck and doe standing near stand she wants moved. I went to back of propriety sat for a few and decided to move back up front to another stand I have closer to creek and thick stuff.

1/2 later 6 pt slips out,then moves off and 10 minutes later chases a doe back thru grunting to beat the band
5 pt with a gimpy leg comes thru and then he starts chasing doe.Saw 6 or 7 more doe and chasing in the distance as it was getting dark.
It was an enjoyable afternoon other than the neighbor chick being flaky

Good wind 29 degrees back to the property with the big guys this morning,hopefully things are sparky there as well this morning

Get some, Dan!

Thanks ken for Posting my Buck! Go get them Dan , good Luck to all the rest!
