Strange, never heard of that kind of behavior before. If the big buck was hunched over, he might have been injured. Either he lost his "package" on a barbed wire fence or joined the LBGQ community?

Yep, the good ole days for sure. Lots of old-timers and memories!

Welcome to the best whitetail site out there. Nice buck your daughter got!

Not a great idea, just gives poachers another tool.

I agree. I haven't hunted with a gun for 30+ years, started bow hunting with a recurve and custom-made long bow a few years later. Nothing is more rewarding than taking a buck with traditional archery equipment. Once I got my 1st compound trying to cure target panic, I still did not use sights...

A beautiful stud of buck, congrats! Like the wagon blind set-up, I'll have to make one!

Archery by far.

Kind of odd, I wouldn't think a snare would have without done that without a major injury but not sure.

Quite the brawl!

Cotton balls work pretty well as well as peatmoss.

This brings back a memory from 1967; I was trapping for coons and muskrats along a creek. I had a coon set with a #2 double coil spring, when I got to the set the area was torn to shreds and the trap empty. After close inspection the only tracks around were deer and a little bit of deer hair...

If not done properly it's not worth the aggravation. I hunted a few homemade stands in Canada, nothing but Aspen branches nailed to longer pieces for the ladder leading to a small wooden platform with an old milk crate to sit on! Not the best for sure, I prefer to use ladder stands that I can...

A late Christmas greeting to the great folks on Iowawhitetail! Of course, my cams were on fire Christmas day late morning and afternoon. Saw 7 different bucks so I went out early this morning, saw 6 does and one decent buck but nothing like yesterday. It isn't over yet so I'm keeping my fingers...

I tried trapping a couple times with no results. My neighbor has shot 9 in a hollow behind my house with a creek bottom this year. Thermal night hunt, I was surprised he shot that many since I have few pics of them this year with 10 cams out.

Agree, I forgot about that detail Daver, thanks.

I agree, throw a dead chicken under the hay and they will come.

Seemed earlier for me as well, I'm anticipating that some early born yearlings will come into heat mid-January and plan to hunt as much as I can since I have a tag burning a hole in my pocket. It isn't over yet!

Shot a buck years ago in early December, when I grabbed hit antlers to roll him over one came off in my hand. When I got to a butcher and pulled him out the other antler popped off!
