Hunting property I shot buck end of season last year Just saw Freak Nasty! Enormous 8pt with huge droptine Was 40 yds from me but turned at edge of my shooting lane He beat up a tree then circled through thick stuff and hit a scrape 100 yds from me I brought a camera to hang in front of that scrape I wish it was there already so I got a picture of him!

Hung a stand and the camera near scrapes had a stand stashed under a tree for just such an occasion I had looked at trees last time I hunted the property wished I'd have set it up that day as I'd of had a chip shop at this monster

Hunted tonight, had a doe and a nubbin come by and also had a 100” 8pt come in to the base of my tree and feed there for about 10 minutes. I “can” called him over from the other side of my bean field which I noticed today is a whole lot less green on my inside corner, all the other beans are brown and looks like they are ready to be picked.

Ok so I tell it like it is, I misjudged the deer I saw yesterday I thought he was bigger than he is(I guess looking through bino's and brush got me seeing more than there was) .He is a 6 pt with a drop tine.I got pictures of him.He gets a pass from me he needs another year. Good news my Turk deer (last years droptine buck) is still hanging in my area.

Hey don’t worry we all misjudge every now and again. Can’t all be perfect every time. Turk has a pretty nice eyeguard.

It will be interesting to see if Turk has an injury that causes that screwed up right side. The left looks completely normal. Guess you need to shot him so we can get the results of the necropsy Dan.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Well bad news I arrived at my hunting spot this morning and property owner came out and met me at my Jeep telling me he got a call from the sheriffs department that there was a missing 19 yr old girl since 9:30 pm last night from a bordering subdivision. I told him I'd keep my eyes opened and check all my cameras 1st half hour seemed normal had a small buck pass right by my stand then saw 2 doe further out. Then I heard people yelling Madeline? They actually pushed two small buck right to me that I could have easily killed. Then I started seeing people walking through the property and through field so I got down and approached them telling them I'd not seen the girl and I'd been there since before dark.One of them was the girls father,I told him I'd already checked one camera and no sign of here and I'd check my other 3 cameras. As I leaving the area someone on a 6x6 gator was tearing up the property.I approached and told them you can't be back here on that but it was the fire dept searching and they had been all night. I informed them they wouldn't be getting much further on the machine as there was 2 steep creek banks and brush so thick you could barely walk through it. Search party of volunteers,sheriffs, troopers,horses,search dogs and helicopter were on the way I pray they find this women I'm skeptical she in the woods and if she is with no shoes or jacket it was 36 degrees last night I fear a not so good out come I'm sure the Turk is blown out of here now and don't know if he ever comes back? https://www.democratandchronicle.co...lls-monroe-community-college/1759680002/

Madeline Rose was found safe in Mendon Thursday, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
Rose was conscious but suffering from hypothermia when she was found, and was taken to an area hospital, police said.
A citizen volunteer driving toward the village to help search for Rose spotted her walking in a field, said Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Cpt. Paul DeLella.
About 75 to 100 personnel and residents were out searching house to house for Rose, who left her home on foot around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.

It could have been some nice positive PR for hunters in general! Anyway, thanks for the followup, and I'm glad the girl was found. Cheers, John

Now I need to hope the property settles down and the deer comes back It will Dan. BTW - now I know why you see so many slammers - park deer.
