Another freezer filler today! Had some cool patterning on the legs. Opening day of gun is one of my favorite days of the year. The camaraderie, tradition, texts and chats back and forth with friends, and the deer that get taken all just come together for one great day. Another one in the books and I’m already looking forward to the next one. Congrats to everyone who scored today! I saw a lot of great bucks hit the ground today 💪🏼

Love to see more pics. Has a face like a mule. 


Here is a better pic and the neighbor also sent me a pic of him last year.

Wow,DV...The deer is huge it seems more like some sub species.  I know the deer there are big, but....

Wish I had made the trip long ago.

Made it home Thursday from a 12 day trip to Nebraska with my brother and our dogs. We made the most of every day hunting waterfowl, pheasants and mule deer. I killed this buck on opening day and my brother killed his first muley on Monday. His buck was wounded and he was happy to harvest it rather than feed the coyotes. Lots of great meat and a boat load of memories.Screenshot_20221112-175155_Gallery.jpg20221114_125442.jpg20221111_144626.jpg

Hunted with the same guys I fished the Sandy Creek Shootout with. I saw over 20 deer opening day with at least 8 bucks I passed up for hopes at one of the 3 bigger ones we have on camera. Changed my spot for Sunday and it paid off. He was with 2 does and luckily only ran 20 yards. One thing I love about hunting is the memories busting balls with the guys and friendships. Love hunting and fishing with friends, a deer or a fish is a bonus.

Well I had hopes of holding out for some of the bigger bucks on camera. However the fresh snow and hunting with family and friends on Sunday had me feeling nostalgic, so I let the 243 eat.

Careful Vince, you might make him smile. 

There's two situations when he smiles ear to ear non stop  1) when he's taking our money at a tourney due to a high placing 2) When he's sitting in an all inclusive with his bride by his side and a drink in his hand.  All other days they come out begrudgingly.

So I got a question for anyone I shot a big buck this evening with my new cva optima I mostly hunt rifle in my area and switch it up tonight. I shot the deer at 60 yds it did a decent hop tail between the legs went down in 20 yards got back up I stayed in stand for 45 min right before dark to check I have not a lot of blood but it laid down 3 times in 30 yds I know I didn't jump it and backed out should I just wait till morning or go back late tonight

I’d give it a couple hours. Good luck on the recovery.

Shot a buck last year that did that.  Caught a little gut and he hunched a bit walking when he did get up to move.  Gave him about 8 hrs and he was dead.
