So far 6 doe 3 buck ... 3 pt 5 pt and a borderline legal deer was a 7 pt with a broke off tine on one side and a point on the other that was about an inch but I eared on the side of cation and passed him
My buddy I'm hunting with shot a nice 9 pt
Still waiting to catch a break!

The bad breaks continue good buck came thru thick finger at 100 yds gave it a try but just to thick brush in between... He still running
Getting a quick change of lighter clothes and get back into the woods in anther spot I scouted yestetday

Thanksgiving weekend here is either sex, so I figured I would at least get a doe.

Some folks from Dallas who own an adjoining 70 acres decided to come out for the weekend and target shoot all weekend.

Finally, yesterday afternoon, I hit the woods again with 20mph swirling winds.

I walked into the woods and stopped about twenty yards from a treestand, just getting the feel of the woods, when a small buck stepped out not 30' from me. He wasn't legal (we have antler restrictions) so I just watched him.

He was maybe 30" at he shoulder, 90-100lb on the hoof and the craziest 7pt (4x3) I have ever seen. His rack was no more than 10" wide and 12-14" tall with tall, skinny points coming off of skinny beams. The points were gathered and twisted together like a bunch of twigs tossed together.

He stopped and stared at me for several minutes, trying to figure out what the strange new piece of furniture was in his living room, then slowly turned around and walked back into the woods the same way he came. No sign or sounds of alarm, just walked away.

That was the only deer I saw all weekend.

Maybe I'll go up to KS after Christmas and try for one or two does to fill the freezer. My lovely bride has been hankering for some fresh venison, so I am REQUIRED to go hunting!

Nothing for me
Here is my buddy's deer

Nice!

Yes, another good PA buck. I cracked a pretty nice one yesterday also. I'll get a pic up in a bit.

A few guys I know killed some huge bucks.

Damn, Gary Alt was right.........

3 doe and 100" 8 pt I passed on him

I really hate gun season
Went to retrieve my camera cards and as I'm getting 1st one 3 doe trot out of pines 40 yds from me
I wait a bit and get to 2 nd camera and deer running every where no horn 5 more doe. 2 minutes later I hear noise coming thru woods it's a guy with a shotgun and he's pushing thru the bedding areas I wait until he's 50 yds away and go ballistic
He says oh sorry didn't know, yeah bull crap
I tell him his trespassing and I walk around him to get his tag number and yep he ain't wearing one! I tell him to get the [bleep] out and I'm calling sheriff and game warden . I was in full WWF mode spit and f bombs flying
I hate gun season cause it brings the slobs out in full force
I m at big buck property now sitting edge of cut corn field cold and starting to snow
I've seen deer here last 2 evenings doe and 100" 8 pt hope the big guy shows tonight

No buck this a.m. but figured I'd get some good eats...

Congrats DVD, she will be good eating right up until Tennessee Boar season.

Nice job Dan. That will be a goodun.

That wasn't shot near home was it? I didn't think you had any snow?? I had a similar covering yesterday in Arcade, just wasn't blood stained.

Shotgun, rifle or ML?

Congratulation on a nice doe George

65 degrees here at 11:00 am that puts a clamp on deer movement
Temps drop tomorrow so I'll get back at it

After Saturday when the azzwipes in a van fired shots onto my property at a buck I was watching I set up again tonight. Half hour left in the day and a good buck, maybe 160, comes across the road and into my field. He is chasing one doe and where she goes, he goes. I got chance I figure. Their sixty yards away and shes turning every which way and finally turns the wrong way for me. Heads back across the road and so does the big guy. Four does and two small bucks come by. My neighbors cat finds me sitting there and sits on my lap for awhile. We walk back to the ATV in the dark. Hope the good buck comes to visit again.

Seems there are un-ethical jerks all over the country
Hope you get a wack at him stantdm
I got permission on a new piece of property that I killed my turkey on this past May so might give that a try for a change of scenery...Owners son who is a cadet at West Point shot this one on the property,short tines but was super wide 26"
