Weve got tons of honkers down here but the ducks havent been the greatest yet

Thank you! Wish we couldve got half the birds we shot at Sunday was just one of those days we struggled on the fast birds. The wind didnt help our shooting monday on the geese either but we did well still

Well i havent hunted much with scouting for waterfowl after work and hunting waterfowl (see bird game section) but yesterday morning i pulled in my driveway to see a real nice buck making a scrape under the apple tree the doe i got was standing under when i shot her. I waited a few hours and set up a cam. Checked it around noon today think i have a new hitlister! Split brow on one side 9pt have another pic of him sideways that shows he was trying to grow crab claws on both beams that wouldve made him an 11. Hit scrape just after dark only 15minutes after a doe was there

Todays pic didnt upload

Good luck to all western zone hunters this weekend!

Thats a hell of a buck!

Thank you!

Thank you! Sometimes it pays to go on alot of blood trails and see the amazing things that a whitetail can live through aswell as the crazy things that will end a deer quick. I have been on e blood trails before I even hunted this year and think I may have paid some dues! But now it's time to chase the big boys now that I have 1 doe outta the way. Hopefully I can let my arrow find the proper Mark this time

It was a looooonnnnngggg night at work I'll tell you that

Thanks and that's all what this was like except I just moved slow and picked out every tiny speck I could before she opened up

Worst shot resulting in a kill category?

So anyway.... last night at 615 I had a doe come in and offered me what I felt like was a good shot... Well my arrow decided to deflect off a branch and go sideways past her face... i initially thought I missed but when I get down I retrieved the arrow to find short hair and blood on one blade of my rage hypodermic and watery blood on the first 3 inches of my arrow on one side only... figured maybe the blade cut get her face, nose, mouth, ear ,something not vital etc. However being a believer in following up on your shot I looked around and found specks of blood for 40 yards... figured this is not a good sign and I'm probably not going to find this deer but I'll check in morning..went home ate dinner and went to work... Got out of work this morning and followed specks of blood no bigger than a tick and 5-10 yards apart across field toward swamp.. Well like a miracle about 5 yards from the swamp edge I found huge puddles of blood and instantly my heart sank thinking maybe I did hit something vital but maybe nothing that's a fast kill however I kept pushing on...well about 10 yards into swamp I looked up and saw her laying there dead! Instantly I flipped her over to find that the one blade of the rage slit her jugular, I believe it just nicked it and when she started running hard it raised her heart rate and blood pressure just enough to burst the artery causing the instant raise in blood flow.....moral of the story is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS follow up on every shot out of your bow (or gun) because nature has a funny way of doing things and sometimes those less than ideal shots lead to quicker deaths than expected... And of blood is light keep trying your hardest to find the next speck no matter how small it is

Deer found this morning pic and story to follow

Well sighting #3 was about 615 had a doe come in...thought I hit a twig and missed her but had short hair and watery blood on one blade and 3inches up arrow... Was blood on ground too. Gonna look in morning to be sure it wasnt fatal.. thinking arrow hit twig then grazed her face

Sighting #2 610 Have a button buck feeding on Apple tree 30yards behind me

Sighting #1 530pm Doe ran off hill and came to 30 yards but wouldve busted me if I tried to turn her way

Sit #3 Chose to sit local tonight literally right behind my house. Sitting on a pinch point located near some apple trees they have been crushing with some scrapes under them Wind:light and variable Temp: 72

Not going to be good for much but sometimes you've gotta let the scrub bucks walk

Got that right! I Might've even given him a haircut... would be rather him have a 2inch gash from a rage though!
