That is a nice deer. seeing big deer everywhere this year (except when on stand :mad:).
i sat and watched for 20 minutes today a 3-4 year old 140's class 10pt laying down waiting on his doe just north of the SBH!!! :eek: UGH...
No. I haven't been out since Saturday. I'm thinkin I might sneak out in the boat one last time on turkey day n see what I catch. I heard eyes and perch were getting caught straight out from sturgeon. But I'll most likely go out of sbh. Then winterize the boat.Quote:

We have some snow on the ground today. I didnt hunt this morning, I didnt feel like sitting in the wind. Were getting ready to go out now. Good luck all.
Hmm? Jim is that one of your websites that keeps posting in reports lol. Headed to attica in morn giving wyo co a try again see if there is buck wandering there seen plenty of doe but looking a buck.
I saw a huge 10 point on my way home from work Friday. Out in the middle of a heavily posted field with a doe. Lol. Bet this deer went 180 easily. Beautiful typical rack. Good luck mike. Jim did you see anything?Quote:

Gun emptying idiots in full force this afternoon. I swear they just hip shoot at deer hoping they go down. Saw seven flat tops. One had its mouth hanging wide open cause it was blasted in the face. I couldnt get a mercy shot on it. Felt bad. I person emptied five shots so fast, it sounded like an automatic. IDIOTS! Those are the type of hunters that need to be givin a single shot gun and learn how to shoot. Lol
you are so right there are alot of idiots out thereQuote:

Today my wife missed a decent buck at first light at 51 yds broadside standing still (buck fever I think),so I go over to her at 8:30 too look for any sign of a hit but a miss. So I jump in the stand with her at 8:45 by 9:30 we were getting wet from the 3" of wet snow that fell so I call my dad on the radio to tell him we were gonna get down, he comes back and says to stay put he had 5 deer 200 yds below him in the thick stuff. 3 minutes later he calls me and says they are headed our way, I spotted them right away (out about 250Yds) my wife couldnt see them in the snow they were coming right at us, so she finally seen them at about 150 yds they come into about 110 yds and she dumps a 140 lb slob doe and I dump one of the other ones as soon as she shot. 2 does down in 5 seconds, awesome day!! The funny thing about the whole thing is she missed a text book shot on the buck and put a hell of a tough shot thru some thick stuff on that doe right in the neck, she shoots a savage .243. :cool:
WHAAAT!!!! She didn't empty the gun at the buck!! That's like the only way to hunt in the snow. Point the gun close your eyes and go Rambo style til your out of ammo! Lol. Kidding aside nice job Jim and the wife! Now she's got the miss out of her system so she'll knock the buck over next time.
hehe....I know right
Congrats, way to knock them down! to bad she missed the buck, get it next time.
nice thats a good day
I just emptied my ml on a six point and missed lol.
Think I just shot over him because he ducked lol.
Come on copo now we fot bucks jumpin the gun lile they do the arrow, good thing you only had one shot or you may have put yourself in the same group of gun emptier's you talked of yesterday. Ha ha jk
Thats a first, jumpimg the trigger ! ;)
I would have used the "hang fire excuse".....lol
Yeah I'm thinkin. It was a fast shot, he came across my tree orchard. He wasn't gonna stop, so I mouth bleated to him and he finally stopped but was ansy. Pretty sure I shot just over the top of his back. Stupid me. Oh well. I'd rather have jumped the trigger and missed than made a bad shot and wounded himQuote:

Lol. I'm not gonna make excuses for my mistake. Funny though I make a quick freestanding heart shot on a doe. But screw up this shot. Oh well he wasn't that big. I've been seeing him. I won't make that mistake again.Quote:

Well I shot a 4pt yesterday am. about 140# not the biggest rack/deer for sure just as wide as its ears. Wife & kids want sausage made for sure, now they'll have it! I'll wait for the big guy in ML season. :rolleyes: Forgot, on way home giong thru Cowlesville I pass a Dec. officer he spins around flips the lites on & pulles me over. He checked out my deer & tag then looked at all my remaining tags, checked to see if my guns were locked in the cases, all was legal & ok! Then I drive down the rd. a 1/2 mile pass a state trooper ,he spins around and I get pulled over by him, what the hell! He checks truck regs., my license, ask if atv trailer is mine checks that regs. all ok, I ask what the problem was. He says he couldn't read the first 2 letters on my plate # due to my loading ramps covering the #'s. Then says he won't write me at ticket this time! I was thinking I am sure the 96 yr. old man that was beaten up in Buffalo would be upset to hear my #'s were covered up! unbeliveable.
congrats on ur deer
Thank you.
Nice job with the buck. Yeah these cops really need to find something else to do. Like their job of stopping REAL crime.Quote:
