Just a buck and a doe. Both with a 25-06 Montana and a 115 NBT. May still arrow a couple more does? I'll whack some coyotes this winter too. Whats going on with that bucks leg just above the knee? Just curious.

We still have 3 more weeks of bow and then 3 days of primitive. So it ain't over yet. I still have another buck tag left, but they'll be losing their horns soon, like this week. Doe - 10 Point Titan Decock Doe - Encore 45-70 8 point - Encore 45-70 Doe - Encore 45-70 12 point - Encore ML 50 cal - I've been hunting deer for 45 years and this is my first 12 point. Doe - Encore 350 Legend

Just curious. I had to zoom the pic in on my phone. I honestly didn't know what it was. It's a leaf....

Old 9 point on lease in Missouri. He had all of 10 teeth left. Kimber 84M in 308.
Lease in north end of Texas hill country, nothing. My personal minimum is 140 inches. Three years of extreme drought has killed antler growth. Ate my buck tag there last year as well.

I killed a young forkhorn the second week of the season, then for various reasons could not close the deal on a second deer this year. This one is great eating however.! Cat
scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!

These darn things live in sheep country and are 'big' game as far as effort, IMO... These two photos are really, really nice IMO. Living the life!
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.

Covered this before here and there, but had a great season, with relatively little work on my part. One buck I grunted up at 7 yards with a crossbow, then my Earn-a-Buck doe and her boyfriend taken one right after the other with my 6CM Fieldcraft. Definitely a horseshoe in my nether regions this year!
What fresh Hell is this?

Driving over to MS this weekend since their season doesn't end until the end of the month so hopefully I'll be able to add to the count. So far I've taken three does which was great because I needed the venison. I got the first one during primitive season with my Browning 1885 in .44 Magnum. I took the next two with my Ruger No. 1 in 6.5x55 SE. Missed out on a nice deer during bow season when a coyote appeared & spooked it.

What did I kill this year? Sadly, just time. It was still well spent.

A cull buck with my crossbow on my farm, for the first time in 40 years I decided to hunt a public hunting area that is near my home and killed a doe with my muzzleloader, a nice 8 point with my crossbow from my front porch and a huge doe with my Kimber KS target 357 magnum the last day of the season during modern firearms season. I passed on many deer this year hoping to connect with a double drop tine buck I had on game cameras, but he never appeared during my hunts.

So far two does and a bunch of time. Seeing bucks but nothing I want to shoot and as best I can tell the rut has yet to start. Not seen the first scrape on my place this year.
Grumpy old man with a gun.....Do not touch . Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Don't bother my monument and I'll leave yours alone.

Two whitetails, a 6 point with a 257 Roberts and a 1 point (cow horn spike on one side, no antler on the other) with a 250 Savage and a coyote with the Roberts.
Might still shoot a doe, might not.

One 10 point whitetail, one 12" antelope and one cow elk. Still have elk tags but doubt I use them.
