My sons first buck. Full disclosure it's a muzzle loader kill, only thing that's kept him from hunting with a bow is working up to legal poundage here and us finding him the right bow as he's grown so quickly in the last yr since he got his hunters safety. But I figured since this community celebrates the successes with each other, I'd post it. We made a spot and stalk on this buck from 500 yds, and surprisingly over very open ground. Almost no cover except the deer was feeding in the open on a bean field and we were quite a bit lower along a rivers edge. He was able to stalk into 150yds and made an excellent shot with the muzzle loader. His first call was to his mother at home, then his grandpa (my dad) who is now going to be passing on to him a bow he thinks could work for him and he's hooked for life! Love seeing kids get excited about hunting and I look forward to many yrs spent with him as my hunting buddy!

Not too often you get to hunt a real Manitoba stud like this but feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity. My brother Adam (apauls) has lots of history with him, and he had him figured for 7 1/2. It seemed he’d summer over at a piece he was hunting and then move as crops came off and ended up on land where I hunt. He was moving from one pretty open food source to a more secluded alfalfa pasture about 700 yards away just after legal when I caught him slipping through the poplars. The rest is history.

My gf Kristen asked if it would be worth hunting these last few days with the temps near 80. I said as long as the wind is OK to go for it - you never know this time of year. Well, I wasn't home from work yet and she texted me that she was going for a sit. Around 6pm she called and after a brief silence on the other end, until she could gather herself, she said with a shaky voice "I just shot a buck!" . It's been a few years of hunting with me (on occasion), but this season she put forth good effort by practicing shooting routinely and slowly gaining confidence climbing on her own. Just a few days back at dark I watched her coming over the hill of the field with no headlamp on. She's come a long way since being scared of the dark, terrified of heights, and asking "can we go now?" after hearing coyotes howl nearby at sundown :). She made good on an opportunity for her first bow kill (after passing multiple yearling bucks no less).... I am proud of her to say the least.

Tight racked old Hoosier buck. Eight yard heart shot while chasing a doe. Lucky arrow put him on the ground less than eighty yards from the stand.
Edit: Have learned this buck's home range was on a neighboring farm a couple miles SE of the property I hunt. Owner provided multiple mature buck photos of this buck on that farm from 2019 until a week prior to my shot and mentioned a member of their family hit him high with a ML in 2021. Being told this buck is at the very least... 8-1/2 years old...quite possibly a year or two older. Definitely an old monarch whitetail.

My Grandson works 6, 10 hour days & my son has worked a Nuclear plant 5 weeks, 12 hours & had 2 days off until they finished the work. So, both have had no time to bowhunt. Today was my Grandsons 3rd time out (I think) & he went this morning (Nov 9th). My son got home yesterday & went this afternoon for the 2nd time of the season (Nov9th) It will be a day to remember. They both watched them drop. It was a good day to be in the woods in Illinois.

Well shit, I gotta follow Hunt with my little buck....let him walk last Thursday and then made a bad shot on a good one, went back to the same stand this morning and this dude showed back up. Hunting time is limited and I need some venison in the freezer so he didn't get a second pass.

Awesome day in the stand on the 11th! Tons of cruising and chasing. Spotted this guy headed my way, back in on a bedding flat, at about 8:30. He stopped, facing me at thirty, then decided he was gonna go back the other way. Headed straight away, then turned just a tiny bit, quartering hard away. I grunted at him and he turned towards me a little more and stopped at 38 yds. Ended up hitting him just a tick low, but it entered about the second rib from the back and exited tight behind the off shoulder. Watched him run down into the ravine and stop about 90 yds away. He stood there for several minutes, head down, slightly stumbling a couple of times, then bedded down. After a couple of minutes, he got back up and walked a few steps to where I could no longer see him. Felt good about the shot, but I backed out to give him some time to hopefully die and not blow him out of the country.
The wife and I went in to look for him about 4pm. We found him about 15 minutes later. He was probably dead within an hour of shooting him. I had a 3 year history with him. Nicknamed him Fubar in 2022, because he had messed up the right side of his rack while in velvet that year. This is the first year he had any droptines. Bonus!

Was able to fill another tag on the 12th. This buck was pushing a doe away from me across the river. With nothing to lose I crashed my rattling antlers together and to my amazement, he stopped in the middle of the river, turned, and headed my way. Thought he was going to give me a perfect 15 yard shot but he veered off to a scrape 30 yards north of me. I don't like shooting that far but I took the shot. Hit him about half way back but it did the job. He made to the mud on the edge of the river.

Been hunting hard in PA this year hit a real nice 10 low in the brisket last week, bled a lot never found him...passed many legal bucks. So on 11/19 I was out and had 2 bucks bed down behind me about 50 yards away. So odd to see them so close this time of year. Must have been tired! They finally got up 2 hours later at 11:30 and the bigger buck luckily came down into a spot I had hoped and ranged at 40 yards. I wasn't sure if he would walk off or come closer so I took the shot. My longest shot but I was confident I had just taken a few shots at 30 and 40 yards. My slicktrick blew through his lungs and he piled up in 40 yards.

Helped a buddy’s son find his buck last night. He’s just gotten into bowhunting the past few years. This is his second bowkill. He was ecstatic when we found his buck in the bottom of the ravine. This buck was killed within a couple of miles of where Iowa’s state record typical buck (Wayne Bills buck) was killed, back in the ‘70s.

Killed this one at very last light during Iowa's opening day of gun season in a special permit area. Been a tough but extremely enjoyable season for me. My phone died before I could get any good pictures with the flash, but for some reason, kind of like the one with my headlamp on.
Still have some tags to fill. Looking forward to the rest of the season and good luck to those still after it!

I believe this buck is 6 yrs old, hunted him exclusively for the last 2 years and have a matched set of sheds my son found from his 2022 antlers. I nicked him low thru the brisket on October 28th, shooting him for 44-45 yards and he was 50-51 yards. Made a good shot at the correct yardage this evening.
