And hunt a tree stand that I saved for later in the season, So I sat the morning. And Killed the biggest 8 pointer I've ever seen on the hoof. (So don't give up, and...

    Shot a Tank tonight

    Was not able to weigh the buck, Dont have a scale. After shooting my last 2 bucks off of the ground, I almost like it better than hunting out of a tree.(Its more personal and challenging) Hunting off the ground was kind of inspired by Zach Farenbaugh from THP. I like the aspect of not being...

    Have Hunted NEIA all my life. And this is just my view point, Those Upper NEIA counties get an immense amount of hunting pressure.(Those areas are notorious for big bucks) They have the Terrain, Cover, Etc etc etc. But they have waaaayyyyy more hunters than the lesser known counties. I've...

    Help with shot

    I think the deer is dead. Just bought a 450 bushmaster this year, shot 2 deer with it, with Custom FTXs. Both deer were stone dead within 30 yards. Definitely going to be some grid searching involved in a situation like this. Good Luck. Hopefully u get him recovered.
