nanny goat saturday evening...acorns and water rite now is where its at. hopin for some horns soon
Killed a doe. Water holes and acorns are the best places to hunt right now. Hoping to kill a buck.
I hope he didn't lose too many magnets in the crash... We need a few pics for confirmation please.....
I stuck one Sunday at last light and never found her... and I've got something better than acorns and water...persimmons. We are fortunate to have about eight trees on a fence row.
I love this time of year because the deer really move freely!

A deer while travel 2 miles to eat a persimmon. I would just set up by those trees till there are all gone. I shined a flashlight in a9 points eyes in my backyard the other night and walked up within 15 yards of him.
I don't shoot the deer around my house but might have to cause they are coming out of the wood work. Had a doe and two buttons in my backyard at 11 am I think Tuesday. Checked the Solunar tables and peak time was at 9:50am-12:10pm. Its amazing how close they adhere to tables.

Caught him in my headlights a few nights back standing at the back of our property. Sat there for maybe four minutes watching him. He just stood there like he was thinking, "I'm not moving. You can't see me."
There are two does and a set if twins (younger than yearlings) that I promise you I have herded down our street with my truck at night. I've taken to offering friends a tree stand in the back yard. Last year, they ate up most of the shrubs in the back yard. They look at Hosta like a kid might look at a candy bar. Will come right up to the back door and eat it. We have a crab apple tree in the yard. The wife got up one night last winter and cam eto wake me up. A doe was standing on her hind legs, eating crab apples out of the tree. They stripped every last crab apple out of it within a two night spell. Must have reached a certain level of ripeness that they could not stand.

First, missed a 6 the other day...My cousin killed an 11 point in TN opening weekend in Perry County, the crazy s.o.b. gut shot it and he knew it right away, so what does he do...He jumps from his lock-on treestand 16 ft up in the tree, turns around and sticks him, perfect shot...Damn thing weighed over 200 pounds....That boy is the luckiest person I know! I've never even seen a deer that big while hunting and he kills one doing exactly what you're not suppose to do!!!!! Just ain't right!
if you quit slinging arrows at 6 points, you will increase your odds of seeing "a deer that big while hunting."

I know what you mean, I'm all about thinning does out and what not, and have been working on that for the past two years where I hunt. Just hadn't killed a buck in a while.....Actually hit a branch while taking a shot at a doe this morning, brand new stand site and all
We started shooting does to eat and only shooting bucks if they are wall hanging material about 10 years ago. Now nice 8 pointers are common and get passed up regularly.
Got a good pic of a couple bucks sparring and knew they was in there but had no sign or pics of does so I figured if I was going to get one I had better do it before they broke up and started chasing.
1974 and the concept of killing doe's to increase deer population and health had been established by the wildlife people at MSU. I think Arizona was the first state to test this in the 1960's. Not killing doe's etc., etc. has been long debunked.
With the new early primitive weapon doe only season, you should be able to kill all of your does well before the rut this year. They key to is to kill your does early and let those 2.5 year old 8 points walk. We only should 4.5 yr olds and older.. If you want meat shoot a doe..
If you want Big Bucks you must let ones like this grow another year or two.
