Weird rack on this buck...this from the piebald property of which he has not been seen or photoed by me and the neighbor all season

How long is your season Dan?

Archery runs thru Nov17
Gun season starts Nov18th for 3 weeks then muzzelloader for 9 days following gun

You should be able to stack upside more by then! Looking at your pics I got an idea...would some turkey decoys make good "confidence" decoys for your deer?

Nah not needed

Saw a slob this morning had to be 25" wide never seen one alive on the hoof this wide.I know where I'll be come Nov 18


Also, a charter boat captain buddy of mine who I shoot 3D archery league with hit a good one this morning. He backed out and I'm going to help him find it at 1:15PM
He said he hit it high but it was only 10 yds away no pass thru
He thinks he got a foot of penetration and is shooting Rage broadheads(I don't like mechanicals)
He said he sure he didn't hit shoulder and that his sight was set at 25 yds hence the high shot
My thoughts are if he indeed got that much penetration at 10 yds he should have still hit both lungs...no exit is puzzling he's shooting at 62 lbs
Of Course it's pouring down rain right now

Nice deer Dan.

We just got back. Here's one for Halloween.

Just over 240 lbs 9 point. His neck measured over 30" around.

Congrats Ed

Unfortunately we didn't retrieve the deer my friend hit.I found the whole arrow about 80 yds or so from hit sight is some of the most impenetrable thicket,couple that with standing water and swamp like terrain with heavy rain. We crawled through and searched the area for 3 hours its my belief he hit shoulder as it appeared there was not much arrow penetration and I think the deer is still alive

Sorry your Bud lost that buck Dan but you were tracking in some very difficult conditions...You found the arrow and that always tells a story. You are probably correct that buck is most likely sore but still alive.

I was thinking shoulder shot myself! its been a wet season!

Sorry about your bud's deer Dan.

Definitely sounds like he'll survive.

Oh boy here we go again just received this text from another friend

"I just shot a good one The shot was far back towards guts"

I'll call him and get him the heck out of there before he pushes it I have more faith I'll find this deer than yesterdays endeavor

I shot my buck that I skipped the arrow off of oct 30th.
Same arrow and broadhead 33yds.
Used the correct pin this time.
Opposite side of farm.

Solid deer Tom !!

Great Buck Tom! You were destined to get him, congratulations!!

Happy ending today!
