Good luck! Had 4 does cruise by late morning but were behind me so no shot. That was it, spent the rest of the day watching squirrels... Bucks are locked down with does.

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! Ed

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.........

I tell him to get the [bleep] out and I'm calling sheriff and game warden .

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?

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.
