It's bad luck


Just kidding I had no shot and I need to see if it's a mature doe or not

Just slipped in my stand
In spot with pie bald deer and big buck

That was quick small half rack bumped a doe and then feed thru

Saw a couple more doe and a good buck
Things are gonna heat up quick now!

Think this was the buck I saw



Some more pics of other bucks





Funny,I had pics of squirrel,rabbit,coon,and this chuck

Pics from spot I killed buck 30 yds from stand

The buck with the rope in his horns is in trouble. That WILL get tangled in the brush or in another bucks rack and one or two deer will die, count on it.

It'll will be ugly............shame.

Agreed, just kill that one if you get the chance.

I've seen two deer and one elk in my life with rope or wire tangled in their racks. The elk was still alive but dragging a long stretch of rope, his days were certainly numbered. Both deer I found were dead with their rotting carcasses tangled in branches.

If that were some thin string or light electrical wire, maybe he could break it. But that looks like reasonably substantial rope. I don't see that poor bugger surviving til he drops them in Feb! Plus it's hanging around his neck too!

My thoughts also JJ
For the life of me I can't figure out where that rope came from and how it has it so wrapped around his beams

Looks like somebodys "hot wire" fence. Electric fences are a pain in the butt to maintain, and you have perfect evidence they are dangerous refuse to wildlife!

It's getting crazy now saw 7 different buck this a.m.
One of them was a real hammer 140ish 8 pt

I saw three this morning in East Aurora, none would break 80"

Well I won't be shooting the pie bald deer, he's a young button buck hope he lives a few more years

That's a neat one Dan. I hope he survives.

It's been pretty fast and furious the past few days. Bucks on the prowl.
I wished I had not tagged out on my buck cause yesterday I had a giant pined and drawn on at 33 yds, he'd have been mine. He walked right in front of my camera as he filtered by!
This morning to my disbelief I saw what I thought was the button buck pie bald coming through the thick brush but as it got closer I said " that's way to big to be a button buck"
It was a 1 1/2 yr old buck with same pie bald markings! He rubbed up a sapling right in front of me. He passed my camera set up but I pulled the card last night and forgot to bring the replacement. The genes are already planted here!

This is the buck from yesterday I had pinned

Too cool. It looks like your hunting area has no shortage of bucks.

Finally was able to get a mature doe in range late yesterday afternoon. I could have killed 10 buck this past week but no doe.
Shot came at last 15 minutes of light. The deer reacted funny,she ran 40 yds and then stopped and walked into thickets.From her reaction I was nervous but when I got down at dark to retrieve my arrow it was covered in blood. I walked to where I last saw her and she wasn't there so I decided to wait till this morning to look for here.
She was stone dead and was only 75 yards from where I hit her.

Good job Dan. I haven't had a doe closer than 75 yards in a week and a half but could have killed a pile of buck too.

I know funny how things are opposite of what we want

This thread is as good or better then any TV Hunting show. What a great idea you had and a great effort to keep this entertaining and up to date every day!

Speaking of TV heres the video
shot comes at 4:49 minute of video
There was a bit of cat and mouse as she knew some thing was up but I remained motionless until she calmed and then turned and gave me the opportunity to draw unseen
