Ouch! I found a shed years ago that had a piece of the skull plate on it and wondered if it would survive. I would say not likely at all but you never know. Toughest animals ever.
I talked to a neighbor that owns a good thick hollow behind me that's close to 3/8 of a mile long. He had issues with trespassers hunting it. He found a stand on the other end of the hollow and took it down and laid it at the base of the tree. He talked to a game warden, and he offered to...
Pretty dismal archery season. I had a lot of mature bucks on cams, but I was always in the wrong stand. Six weeks in I finally got an opportunity at my #1, unfortunately I rushed the shot and hit him high "no-zone". The only "good" thing this year was this buck showed back up on a camera and...
Had that issue years ago. Came across a ladder stand that was on the other side of the property line but attached to a tree on my side. I already had a stand bout 25 yards from there, so I left a note to remove the stand. I left my cell number on the note and the next day the guy called me...

I checked a cell cam behind my house today that I hadn't checked since November 16th. I about crapped my pants, never seen him before. Looks like I have a new #1 since I blew it on another mature buck. Picture grainy taken off the computer screen.
Things were crazy November 2nd and 3rd, lots of mid-day activity, as well as the 11th and 12th. As of November15th it's like they all vanished. Quite a few does are back with their yearlings.
Good question Daver.
I learned the hard way that the ratchet straps I use need to be loosened while your shed hunting in the spring. A few years ago, I didn't loosen them on one stand. I went to that stand early one morning for the first time that year and "crap", the stand pulled apart as the...
Wow, great buck for both of you. Sounds like one crazy day, not often two bucks get whacked within a couple hours of each other in the same stand. Congrats!
