I picked up a Nov. anterless tag at 1 pm on Friday afternoon, had it filled that evening. Didn't hear any other shooting going on where I was hunting, not even pheasant hunting. There were a couple bow hunters on the same farm as me, they helped me drag out and load the doe. I don't think my...

For those who enjoy short and easy tracking of mortally wounded deer may I suggest using the Nosler Partition HG 260 grain bullet? I’ve been using that projectile for the last 3 years and the NP HG’s terminal performance has been nothing but spectacular. Every deer I’ve shot has been a...

Thanks for the thoughts; day later and still sore, especially the left shoulder and right elbow. Funny, the shoulder didn't hurt yesterday morning at the time of the incident. Talked with the landowner, he has 2 trail cams set up and he confirmed my big bodied 10-pointer sighting. He was out...

Frustration??? Try sitting through the Westerm MI vs. Iowa football game... now that's frustration. Hang in there, plenty of time left to tag a bruiser. I'm in the same boat. Bugs

162 - Center punched a nice doe this early AM, 18 yards broadside, took out the top of the heart. She jumped at the shot, ran about 10 yards, stopped for about 5 seconds then took off on a death run for another 20 yards. She expired in under a minute. I just love my Mathews XT, it so quite...

Hopefully some readers can benefit from my close call this morning. Let me preface my story by detailing my stand set-up. I have a hang-on stand about 20 feet up in a big walnut tree that has many big branches, lots of Y’s, coming off the main truck. I have a total of 9 screw-in steps in the...

Them two bucks looks like brothers or at least step brothers.

153 My doe from last Friday. Going to pick up another antlerless tag after work today. -Bugs

Took a nice healthy doe last Friday AM, meat for the freezer. Here’s the story; just so you know, maybe 30 seconds passed from the time I saw her to the time I shot. Testament to the adage always be ready (which I almost wasn’t). Was in the stand nice and early, didn’t see anything but...

Definitely a good move in my book.

I took as a very lame bit of satirical writing. He was trying to be funny, but the piece really wasn't funny, it was just dumb. Remember the only safe targets of bigoted humor by the left are gun owners, hunters and westerners.

Anyone ever read the Stephen Ambrose book about Lewis and Clark? I think the name of the book is "Corp of Discovery". The book has an account of deer that was consumed raw. They were so hungry they just skinned the critter on the spot and ate the warm bloody meat. The Indians with them...

Wheel chair deer cart. Got an old wheel chair from Goodwill for $30. After a few modifications, I had a wheel chair deer cart that rolls like a dream. I've had 2 doe loaded onto it, no problems. I've sledded and dragged my share of dead deer out of the woods and fields. Once I muzzleloaded...

Oh yeah, she said they green scored out at 173 (left) and 168 (right).

I asked her about the deer on the right. She said her son (on left) got his buck on Sunday evening, but the deer on the right was shot the day before, on Saturday). That deer (deer on the right) was caped and put in a freezer on Sat. That explains the frosty nose.

Got the pics uploaded, here they are... those are some nice, nice bucks for a couple of 14-15 year olds.

The pics are going to be emailed to me tonight. With any luck I'll get them posted here tomorrow. She also corrected me, her son scored on the 16 pointer last youth season (not the regular gun season). And... this thread belongs under Harvest Report... can I move it or does a moderator need...

A co-worker just stopped by with some pics of the bucks her 14 y.o. son and a friend collected this past week-end during the youth hunt. I'm not an expert, but I gotta believe these are 170+ class bucks. One buck has drops on both sides at the front and the other has a huge spread and tine...

I wonder what the DNR did with the meat from the cows? You'd think if they were farmed elk, they'd have ear tags. Maybe not though. Yeah, I'm sure we'll be reading about it in the paper... poached bull elk.

Here's the pic I promised. The stuff in the elks antlers is hay bale covering tarp/twine/???.
