Spent the past holidays with our new grandson but we will be home tomorrow. Weather might be a bit mild this week. Looking forward to get out in the woods for some walk abouts with the stick bow to look for some fury little critters to put in the frying pan. Anybody been out or going to go hunting? I know its back to work for most of you.

Art, please get the little one some camo, he looks a little lost with with a onesy. I'll be out Monday afternoon, then back to work, it's been a long slow season. Good luck to anyone getting out, and happy new year to everyone. Art, got your text, planning to attend.

Happy New Year everyone.
I was out yesterday. Very poor visibility. Snow with warm temps, made for it being very foggy.. Sometimes 40yds at most, but most times under 25.. Hunted till 2:30 when rain came, but I also had plans for new year eve. I had a few bucks I was after, one was and 8 point with a drop tine. Here a few pic of him. (Story on drop tine to come) and I still have a 10 point, that I got a picture of this passed week.

Ok heres the story on drop tine. On the second Monday of buck season. A call came in of a deer in distress. The deer was at the bottom of a ledge in a parking lot about 3/8 of a mile from where the cam pictures where taken. This is a man made ledge, cut into a mountain. The deer was a live when the police came. What everyone figures is, he was crossing the steep Ledge area and fell.

Teeton, is that the same deer? Unless I'm not seeing something or photos are deceiving, brow tines look shorter in the live picture and drop tine is coming from a different spot. Maybe its just the angles and photos.

Looks like a different deer to me.

Looks different to me too. Compare the brow tines and also the G3's. G3's on the trail cam buck are different lengths.

Different bucks.

I dont think that there would be two bucks less than 1/2 mile apart that look that much alike. I know the brow tines look smaller in the cam pictures, but the picture quality is not that good. I would hope it was not him and be around next year.
Heres a picture of a shed buck. Notice anything in that picture?

Lots of deer moving midday today along the back roads around here. Foggy down along the river bottoms too. Saw 2 flocks of turkeys also.

Pretty good mass.
Pretty good mass.
Took down the last of my safety lines and bow hangers, plus collected all sd cards and a couple dead cameras yesterday. Found a real nice thick half an 8 point shed 50 yards from our new box blind. I saw 2 very large deer without racks shortly after that, so I'd check closely before shooting a big looking doe the next couple weeks. One of my friends shot an antlerless buck that shed his antlers last week.

That's more like I'd, all he needs is a terrible towel and some 50 yard line seats and he is set! Great picture.

NICE shed Art! Wondering if that’s the buck that I grunted to a stop in front of me(but couldn’t draw w/out him seeing me) and then walked straight away from me W/out offering an ethical shot on the last day I hunted there in November ............looks like it could be.
Nice pic with the young “Stillers” fan! ;-)
