Wyoming Sept 3rd. I went in search of mule deer and ended up with this whitetail. It's the earliest I've ever taken a WT. Another first was that the game warden saw our flashlights on the mountain, checked our tags, and gutted my deer for me. He let me hang it at his house also. Nice guy. Great time.

My son killed his best bow buck to date yesterday evening. We have a stand just down the road from our house. It can only be hunted with a northerly wind and he has been patient. Wind was right so after school he went hunting.
I got the call just after sundown that he had shot a buck and watched it fall.
His first deer with his new bow also!!!

Shot November 5th in central Pennsylvania. Recovered him the next morning. He was chasing a doe on top of the mountain above my treestand. She bailed off the side right down under my tree. He was grunting so loud and running so hard I yelled, “Hey!” to stop him at 5 yards, then proceeded to shoot right over his back. He ran directly underneath my stand then stopped 11 yards below me, trying to relocate the doe. I got a second arrow and put it up through the ribs and out in front of his shoulder on the same side. Single lung hit. He was still alive when I climbed down after dark and started on the trail so I backed out and found him at first light the next morning.

It can work great with the right buck, but it can also blow them outta the county, too. I definitely like using it, but have had negative reactions to it as well. Congrats Dave!

Harvested my 2nd buck of the season last week. Came in at 20 and forgot to pull my facemask down to hit my anchor points and thought I'd be alright. I was wrong... I gut shot him bad. He ended up running out into the crp and I watched him for 10 mins and decided I needed to make something happen. I ranged him and made sure I hit my anchors and let one fly. Double lunged him at 90 and fell over after 50 yrds. This buck was still in velvet the first week of October, not sure what was wrong with him but he did have little nuts. He wasnt rutting, and still had some velvet on him.

I had one tag and was holding out for a nice buck. My wife was crying a little in the morning when I left to go hunt for a few more days as the kids were really stressing her out and I had been gone hunting the last week. I got in the stand in a new spot and told myself I would shoot the first deer that gave me a shot. So of course a nice 10 point came by trailing a doe. They spent 20 minutes near me with no shots. Eventually he chased her around and she stopped 20 yards broadside and he was out of range. I decided to keep my word fearing I might not get a shot at him and I knew I needed to be done hunting to get back home. She ran 20 or 30 yards and piled up. The buck then proceeded to walk around looking at her. ..broadside. he was then joined by another buck......i will admit that really sucked, but my kids were excited when I got home and my wife was happy I am done for the season.

This is my 2020 Alberta OTC DIY buck. We were after this buck in 2019 but never put it together. I had this buck at 17 yards on Nov 6th but I had the wrong window open on my blind. Trying to get the window open, he busted me and took off. When his doe brought him past me on Nov 15th I made sure to capacitive on it. This is my best typical white tail come in at 158"

Taken by my sons friend on my farm in northeast Ohio. It is not one of the big ones we"ve been after. My adult son has developed Covid and is down as well as my elderly parents. So my hunting has had the legs cut out from under it - more important things right now. My dad is 86, hospitalized and fighting like crazy, and my mom is home alone and sick with it herself.

Posted my Kansas buck on the Colorado Forum earlier, but now ready to cut this buck up and put him in the freezer...maybe--what do you think about eating the meat with the head so infected? The buck was alert and on the prowl for does, and I had no idea he had this arrow from another bowhunter broken off in his forehead--penetrated his right eye socket, and embedded in the skull bones by his inner ear. To eat or not to eat, that is the question??
From: timberline53
17-Dec-20
The buck looked and acted normal, but the hair had fallen out around the wound between his eyes. There was another pocket of infection above his right eye socket that was gruesome so wondering if the meat will be affected? We ate the fresh tenderloins and survived, but I have to admit we were a tad squeamish with every bite!

SaddleReaper that's my worst nightmare during the late season. My luck it would be a world record typical when I shot it and a shed buck when I found it. On the bright side I think here in iowa you could legally put an antlerless tag on it and keep buck hunting.
From: EmbryOklahoma
01-Jan-21
Scrappy... I have an attorney friend that shot a giant 10 point late December around 1999. This was in NW Oklahoma when that area of the state was booming with large deer. He shot the buck and the buck took off down a hedgerow of cedars and boidarc trees. Shot was perfect.
When he went to retrieve the buck, he found one side of the bucks antlers on the blood trail. Another 50 yards and the buck was laying there dead. The buck would’ve scored in the low 190’s, typical.
Saddlereaper, look forward to your story.
