Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

oh lordy it's on now.... next week this time we'll be into it full tilt!!

Wooooooooooo!

I got another 2 weeks I have to wait

I can't remember how many days we have to wait....oh yeah, 6.


I'm all "chickenbuck'd up at work today. Will be for the week now. I got a few thumbs-up on the blaze hat from the contracors on the job.

I've been killin a few ringnecks in my chickenbuck garb. This weekend is shot though. At work for physical inventory.

Meaner! I've got to wait until the 19th, although we're going into camp on the 16th to take care of some things that need repair.

BTW, nice job Ryan and Kendra. Ryan, how were you lucky enough to find a women that can tile?

I believe it's time to start hunting from my deck.

Oh....btw, the rut...It's on! In a big way. I have had my camera out in the back for 6 days. I have 230 pictures, 1/2 are bucks and there area 7 different bucks I can see.

Don't cheat and jump to the last one.

Here are some of the cooler shots.

that last one is a very nice buck, 3.5-4.5 yr old deer right there.

I'd say at least 4.5.

I got the ok to only work till noon on friday.
go to work with all my stuff,and hit the street running "up nort".
loading up a few more rounds tonite,got the clothes out last night,put the topper on for the winter tommorrow.
Checked the game cams at my blackpowder spot.(down here)They'll be fine till later.
Pick up some snacks and drinks thursday....what else?

i dunno sota' deer get big. his horns and relitivly lighter mass lead me to think he's no more than 4.5.

i say relitivly, but i would drop the hammer on him no questions asked, im mearly being subjective and using what i know from our farm. That deer is upper 140s

I come up with around 150'ish without adding mass.

those are some nice pics! the buck I missed tonight was like the 3rd picture. right over his back at 35 yards. I texted you about a minute after the folly. and to make matters worse I had lowered my pack to the ground because it was really windy and I couldn't get it secured in the right place, well my quiver was on my pack, I had to watch as 3 other bucks as big as the one I missed bassed by on that same trail. I guess ya better get out the shame stick.

i think your being a little generous especially with no mass. that would mean with mass he would prolly be 175-180. He isnt anywhere near that. Ive shot some big deer and ive shot deer the class of the one your showing.. last year in fact i shot a deer similar which ive posted af ew times. and he went 152.

At least you're hunting. I'm pacing. We're just going to a Halloween party. Should be fun.

again i mean no disrespect tzone. Im just stating my opinion, and im not trying to be argumentitive

Hey Ryan, do you think that catfish will still be biting during opener? I'll be hunting right next to the Boise De Sioux. They've been pulling some good ones out during the summer.

I might be. I'm comparing it to the 138" 8 sitting anove the computer.

I didn't thonk you're being disrespectful at all. I gave him 12" tones for the 2's and 3's. 4"for the 4's.' 24" beams. 5" for brows, 18"'for spread.

im using the 7" ear method, i may be stingy i dunno, very possible. i only had hims at 9 and 8" g2's and 4" g1s with 22" mains
