My 9 year old daughter Peyton got her first buck yesterday evening at 6:05 PM. We were set up over a small clover plot my brother and I planted this year.

This surpasses any hunt I have ever had of my own by far!! My season is complete!!!:)

Sorry for the blood pic. This is the first pic I snapped with my phone right after we found him. I'll post some more pics tomorrow.

Frickin' fantabulous Ben! Now, I wish I could get my 9 yr old son and 11 yr old daughter a little more interested. They will go out with the gun with me right now (in rifle season) but they haven't had the urge to practice and go out in bow season with me. Maybe soon, maybe soon. I'll show them your daughter's pic and maybe that will light a little fire in them. Tell her Congrats!

Well, it's been a few years since I have been able to tag one. The last few years I was putting most of my effort into getting my son his first archery kill. Well that happened last year. Told myself the first legal deer that presents a shot...... Well this 5 point came in at 8am. Second buck I saw that morning. Went 70 yards and piled up down a steep creek bottom.

Last evening here in 5B, my wife Katie put a nice doe down with her PSE! This is her 2nd archery deer in only 3 years of hunting...couldn't be prouder! 15 yard shot, the ViperTrick did it's job, and this doe only made it about 30 yards before piling up.

Josh- that deer went 27y after shot and I watched as it went down over the bank and out of sight. I thought I heard it crash, but couldn’t be sure so I gave it sometime. When I got to the top of the bank and looked down the hill. This was the view from there

Saw this buck coming in at 150y down in field. It came straight up to me and due to shot angles and open spot was afraid he would see me draw. So somehow I managed to stay composed enough to turn my back to him and wait for him to walk past me on my right(I’m a lefty) and visit the scrape/rub at 8y. He stopped and I took the hard quartering away shot. Worked perfectly! : ) Yesterday about 4:45

Nice buck, Steke!! What a hog!

I was very fortunate to take this nice 7 pt. in 5B this morning. I was only on stand for 6 minutes until he showed up! Dad talked me into hunting my wife's stand, (with her permission, of course!), and it paid off bigly!! Haven't got a buck in 4 years, and couldn't be any happier that streak is over!

Best hunting is still yet to come!! Get out there folks, and keep this thread going!

From: stick n string 03-Nov-17 Wheres your pic elk yinzer??? dont hold out on us.....

Wow, done got called out???

Wednesday, 11/1. 6 PM. 4D Public. Thickest fog I've ever hunted in. Appeared out of nowhere at 20 yards, had to make a quick decision to shoot, made a good shot, and he went 20 more and fell over. The rest of the story is all the hours of scouting and time on the stand that led into that 10 second encounter. Got a nice big doe on 10/27 too, didn't get any decent photos. Freezer is full and wife is happy I'm done.

Hunted with a good friend for a couple days then my dad all week (and put them in my best spots!). They saw quite a few shooters and my dad whiffed on one tough shot. Great week. Can't say the same about being back to work this one. Family circumstances have me living with no elk hunting for a few years, but November is the next best thing. Waiting 12 months until next year seems unbearable! With the beautiful weather this week, I wish I could still be in a tree somewhere, but it's not in the cards this year.

Mentoring a new adult hunter, one of my best friends, during rifle season. I hope I can get him some cracks but more importantly start him on the path toward hunting on his own and learning some woodsmanship.

Congrats to all, and good luck to those still out! Some really impressive PA bucks going down this year! With the weather this week and last, I think the archery kill this year is going to blow away the records.

Cody filled his last tag on the last day of the season. He had 3 tags and was able to fill them in a span of 11 days, after finishing football season. I'm very proud of him for the time and effort that he put in and for making 3 excellent shots.

Hey Roy, if I forget to start a 2017 Meat Pole 2.0 on Sunday, would you please take care of that for us? Congratulations to everybody on here. It sure was fun reading about all the bow hunting fun whether you got one or not. Fills in the slow days of my retirement. I am about done mounting all my turkey beards and spurs. No more skull soup to make unless Dan gets lucky next week.

Harvested this 3.5 year old buck on nov 25. I saw him 150 yards away. Through grunting and snort week it took 45 min to bring him in to a 30 yard shot. Not my biggest buck but I hunted hard all season missed a big 10 nov 4th. Arrow hit a limb and deflected. The cool thing about this buck is the time it took to bring him in. Unlike other bucks it was a quick kill. Usually chasing a doe or came from out of no where and appeared. I'll be on thhere doe second season. Good luck to all of you!
