I would absolutely love a tree like that. Better than a regular Christmas tree.

Zone 1 season D for me

Congrats to Dave!! Nice buck on a nasty night.

I have off until Nov 10th. So let us see bucks!! Good luck.

Congratulations Jesse!!! Does this mount get to go in the Living Room?? Great job, I bet your day brightened up considerably.

Way to go Pat!! It was killing me to sit in my seat all day at work. Thanks for the pics and texts through out the day. Made me feel a part of the hunt. I really wanted to be there with you to track and find him.

That would be too scarey for me. When I hear the coyotes I can’t hurry back to camp/truck fast enough.

Mine change with the seasons. Hunting season that is. Right now looking forward to Bow Hunting.

Thanks IDO The shoot was fun. Had a great group to shoot with.

Count me in.

This is 1993 after Gut got me set up with a compound bow, it was recurve before that with no success. My first deer with a bow was a nice doe. The second year was this 7 pointer with a Martin Gazelle. There aren’t many nice deer in that area that we had permission to hunt and I needed to get deer under my belt before moving onto to bigger bucks. PIcture of a picture. No laughing allowed.

Thanks everyone. Age doesn’t really matter. Also thanks to those of you who emailed me and texted me Birthday wishes. It is Friday……Thank God!

Congratulations!! Glad everyone is ok. Can’t wait to see pics

Well I put in my request for a Benelli M2 Field 20 gauge. Just have to get it approved then the order will go through. Thank you for your opinions! it is on backorder but they are thinking there might be another shipment in a couple of weeks. I have heard it takes awhile to get from Benelli but it should be here before my turkey season.

I haven’t ordered my gun yet. Is the M2 better? Is it quite a bit more expensive? I pay for all of Gut’s things so he should pay for mine right? Blush…..I like the way you think!!!! You can never have too much camo.

I have always used a 20 gauge with much success. I currently have a Remington 870 express 20 gauge. It is been a super gun for me for the last 16 years. Last year was the first time I had issues with it but I think it needs to be taken completely apart and cleaned and make sure nothing is broke. But when I was working Sunday at Gander I was looking at the fun Camo guns and have always heard that Benelli’s are a good gun. Might be fun to start the new year off with a new gun for Turkey season.

We will have to see what happens this week. I can’t believe the hog I seen tonight. He kept in the thick brush each of the 5 times I seen him. I told Pat I almost called him to tell him I needed more blood pressure pills. He was chasing a doe the first time then just cruising. The grunt tube or bleat can was not turning him around. I seen him every 30 min, the first time at 3:05. I hope to see him in the morning.

Haven’t seen any chasing yet. Have seen the bucks looking though. Hopefully things will kick up to high speed soon. I only have 1 more week of vacation then it’s back to every other weekend, for bowhunting. The does must be in hiding. I haven’t seen 1 doe this week. Only bucks and fawns.

Congratulations Stacie! You are having an awesome hunting year. How many more can you get? WI and SD?

Well….my luck was definitely not with my on Monday. I missed one bigger than the one shown from that stand. It was closing in on darkness, he came to my rattling and grunting. He came up the trail raking every tree he came across. He came right on into the food plot. I had injured my shoulder and was worried that I would not be able to pull my bow back plus I was shaking like a leaf. This would have been the biggest that I have ever gotten. He must have heard the string because he reminded me of the movie “Bambi” out on the ice with legs in all directions. I shot over him, at least it was a clean miss. He walked off then met up with a medium buck who looked like a baby next to this other one. They circled around each other in the set aside field. I grunted softly, this brings the smaller of the two back into the food plot. I thought “oh god I am going to get a second chance”. Well he came to the edge of the food plot face on behind some branches then eventually walked off. Very exciting end of my night with a disappointing result. I hope I see him again with “LadyLuck” results!!

As usual I was working. That happens when I have a full time job and a part time job you miss out on hunting. I was working at Gander Mtn that night. Now it’s on got 2 weeks of vacation from both jobs. Went yesterday and never seen a deer . Something has to give. Those deer will get stupid in the next two weeks. Time to

Sounds like a great night! Stacie, good luck with your season. If you need to just get a deer under your belt take a doe first. It is so cool to get that close and know that you could have shot the deer.

Congrats! on your buck with the recurve. Good luck in your other states that you are hunting.

Congrats! Way to go on your buck.

Way to go!!!!! Now it’s my turn

Great story A person always think that they are in shape until they hit the mountains. Congrats! on your whitetail. Did your heart speed up just a little when you heard the bugling??

$700 is a good deal. I just bought my DXT for $859 but traded in my old bow which brought my price down. So far I am shooting real well with the DXT and love it. I am sure you will too. Good luck with your season!

The “can” for doe bleat, grunt tube, scent away spray, extra release, extra rope for stand to pull up bow, range finder, Yahtzee electronic game (sound off) Will have my Thermcell

Unfortunately I did not have my Thermacell I got ate alive. It will be going in my fanny pac for the next time I go out.
