Ya should of waited,naw im freaking kiddn nice freakin first buck dude way to stick with it,but there is a whole lot of season left and the rut isnt everything.Its hard to hunt, but even harder to let them go by.Anyways dont get me wrong ,now that ya got your first big one out of the way dont worry about burning that tag next year,because when your done your done.and who ever wants to be done.

wouldnt ya just love to tie a rope on one leg and take off with that stupid wheeler..

NO Scope is the only way to go if you have a large hunting group because these deer are going to be moving,and your never gonna find them in that scope.Now if your gonna sit in a stand and wait then a low power scope will work just fine,just make sure its a quality scope…never buy one of those lighted dot scopes they are junk

30yds why even bother with a scope.

That isnt crap ive personally shot 4 does right in the vitals and since I shoot my drenlin at the minimal weight,I have’nt had a passthrough yet, and with only one hole in the deer and a very high shootin angle from above,yes I have freddie crouger blood trail for 50yds ,but since they dont pass through the cavity just fills up with blood.I have also had very bad luck in situations where people or tractors or coyots havnt let these deer lay down,which is very critical when you dont have a passthrough shot and the deer does a death run,I will never use a rage ever again and will go back to any 3 piece broad head ,which I did switch back to and the very first doe that came by got smoked, it ran 25yds and that was it.well as for me rage is all hipe.It does have a great entry hole and thats about it…by the way last year I shot around 5 or 6 deer including the one In my pic and did not wound any and I used three piece fixed broadheads I also put in many many hrs looking for all these does and didnt recover any of them even days later and ive still never bumped into any carcus,all these shots wher under 15yds believe it or not so if your thinking about buying rages think again..

milan,davenport Ia here nice to meet ya…

I think if the corn was out we would probably see even more ,but who knows one more nite of work and its on,ill be in the tree buy 2:00pm Tuesday,and thats probably not early enough.Wifes not going to be happy till the end of january now

yes E.Central Iowa is really heating up I got some good prospects on video ,not quite shooters yet ,but I did see a giant at 300yds, but it was busy chasing a couple of does.This week the big boys should start gettn a little stupid ,but next week they will be full blown r-tarded.LOL

I thinks with this n.w wind your chances of having new ducks come in is pretty darn good,saw a very nice flock of canada geese on the way home from work around 7:00am ,well just thought I would let ya know///

Nice white tail looks like a freakin dandy..

Actually I used Cut tree rubs from a different County that I hunt and then I hung them on three seperate areas of my stand,and he still was very weary on coming in,but the wind was swirling that day so when the wind switched just for a moment he came in.

Does age even matter,if the deer is there and you think its gonna look nice on the wall then shoot it,for me a shooter buck is out past the ears and has at least 3″ brow tines, #points arent an option; in the real world your gonna have about 5-10 sec to make a decission..

A very sharp Knife,Saw,Hat Light.And a Stinger Rechargable Flash Light,there is no better flash light then a Stinger.Field gloves are nice,a little medic kit and a good lighter may also come in handy,it would’ve for me.Oh dont forget about a little drag line,also something for marking the blood trail,some string or tape whatever you prefer.thats about minimim as I can think of.And your Tags,oh crap dont forget your Rangefinder.

Good luck with that hunting after getting hitched,the longer your married the less ya get to hunt.well anyways good luck.I just thought of something ,who the heck gets married during the start of prime time.LOL

Yea they still have a crap load of corn to get out wher we are hunting also,but the bucks wher tearing up those freshly dropped white oak leaves,it was funny they would have a huge mouth full to the point that they wher hanging way out it would of been a cool picture.

He Should call DNR, problem solved,if he shot it on the right side of the fence…

It Really upsets me to even here of a guy who would even think about a neck shot,are you joking.I think you need to read up on some ethics or something.

depends if ya shoot left or right handed then quarter it so your harness dosnt screw ya up for the shot,works well for me ,I dont like to be facing dead into the trail because more then likely a big buck wont be right on it anyways, if he comes in he will use the thicker area.It kinda sucks being in the bottom of a hill,but in one of my spots its got a spring in it so on hot days its a killer other then that its a tough place to hunt with them able to look straight at or down at ya.

I dont know about a deer rubbing on that tree but I might have to after the season is over my wife is already pissed and the bucks are just now gettin on the move well anyway hunt those spots this year because they usually come back ..

you just have to get out and scout, it all looks promising,beleive it or not but right behind the farm house in the upper right s.side of the road is probably as good as any you just have to play the wind.Wind shifts are key ,find out where it comes from most of the time and set up so you can get in undetected and if the wind isnt right goto another stand.no matter how bad you wanna hunt if the wind isnt right for that stand then dont hunt it because you will just screw yourself out of a big buck,yea sure you might see some deer but ill guarantee you wont see a giant unless you play the wind..if your a whitetail hunter the wind is everything and scentlock will not fool a bucks nose I dont care what ya see on TV,they are using the wind and thats it.

Oh we shoot plenty of does,its the 135s that are hard to keep passing on.

You got one heck of an avatar yourself…nice freakin buck …

No there is way to much dang corn up still,farmers got it in way to late,now they cant get it out because they can only pick what they have room for.

I got that one last year on oct 30th with my new mathews drenlin,its a wild story,you can read it in the spring issue of whitetails unlimited mag or goto the whitetails unlimited and type Jason Loose…
