On my way to the stand wish me luck
The real reason you're called nature boy. Got it.
On my way to the stand wish me luck
That’s always worth having a conversation with the neighbors. Kill all the little bucks, you’ll never have big bucks. Im still learning as I’m only 5 years in, and struggle with the deer that right on the cusp of maturity. I’m lucky to have a good hunting neighbor that’s killed less deer than I have because we both try to let them walk.Hopefully this weekend I can connect. So far all I have seen is a 3 point, a cow horn and several small does. Trying to let the small deer grow, just hoping the neighbors do the same.
Would you believe that was 800.00 worth of parts and 250 for paint and labor?
Got one the other day. Rut's in. I damn near missed her too.... All the other way in the other lane trying to not hit her. Would you believe that was 800.00 worth of parts and 250 for paint and labor?

Forgot to add these 2 deer were killed out of the same permanent stand on consecutive days by a father & son. The dad & I built a stand in the same location in 1984 when Todd was 8. His whore of a momma had run off & left him with his Dad. We raised him in a deer camp & a johnboat. And the boy is a helluva hunter. The 1st year in that stand we put him in it with a 28 lb bow & 9 arrows with broadheads.. About 9am that morning he came walking across the field to our camp with just the bow. Telling us we had to help him find his arrows & turn the power up on his bow cause the arrows were bouncing off the deer. Sure enough we found several of the arrows with blood part way up the blades. Problem was he was a small boy & couldn't pull back a bigger bow. He said he'd seen 20+ deer that morning & several were little bucks. We started him with a little sawed off 20 ga after that.These 2 were recently taken by old friends on property I've had leased in Kentucky since the late 70's.

That’s awesome.Grandpa had this buck hanging last night when I got home from work so I got it skinned and quartered for him. He was so proud. I just put up a feeder for him 2 days ago and he was saying he wanted to shoot one more just so he could see if he still had it in him. He’ll be 85 in December. Toughest man I know.

Can't eat the horns anyway . LOLSaw a lot of does over the weekend but no bucks. Neighbor kid got one of the two 8 points. Haven't seen the other on my cameras much last week or so. Going out either Wednesday or Thursday and will just take what I see. Hoping the big 6 point survived the weekend.
they make damn good handles when you and a buddy are dragging em out of a nasty thicket. The bigger the better then!Can't eat the horns anyway . LOL
Good thing I’m wanting to hunt off the ground this year. Set up a ground blind with some netting inside a downed oak tree about 40 yards below this.
C'mon man, you know you set up that stand to hunt squirrels out of
I didn't think you were that heavy! lolGood thing I’m wanting to hunt off the ground this year. Set up a ground blind with some netting inside a downed oak tree about 40 yards below this.

Well at least you don't have to worry about falling out of your deer stand.Good thing I’m wanting to hunt off the ground this year. Set up a ground blind with some netting inside a downed oak tree about 40 yards below this.
