Same, had 8 bucks walk by on opening day in PA. Two six pointers, 5 Y's, and the 8-pointer my brother took down. Other than that, crickets. Game camera suggests otherewise and shows off a couple of really nice PA bucks but they never seen to turn back up when we're in the woods. Absolutely 0 does and I've got tags to fill!

October 27th I took this WI 4.5 year old with my Mathews Halon 32-7

Today was the first day I’ve been able to bow hunt this year.

Legal shooting time was 7:30am, I spotted this guy at 7:30 and he was in front of my stand at 7:33.

My entire bow season lasted exactly three minutes.

10yd chip shot, ran 50yds into a wide open field and dropped like a rock, double lung shot. Recovered with the loader on the tractor.

I am out if freezer space but plan on gun hunting. Guess I’ll jusy give away that meat.

Great deer, congrats!

You're much younger than I'd have guessed...

My favorite deer pics aren't necessarily my nicest deer, but the ones with my son in them. Especially age 2 to 6 or so.

Thanks buddy!

Our son reveled in the “big buck kill” more than I did I think.

We are very blessed, that’s for sure.

I harvested this 12pt off of my oldest son's property Monday. 16 yard shot. I got a doe from the same stand on Halloween.

Not the way we like to recover deer but it happens. I am just glad the landowner found him.

Got this doe the day after thanksgiving 2020. Shot was at 65 yards. She jumped my string and looked right at me. Couldn’t do it again if I have 10000 arrows.

Oh wow! That’s nuts.

I’m assuming she dropped like a sack of potatoes?

Posted: 2/15/2021 11:59:59 PM EDT

[#35]

Yea she dropped on the spot. I could feel the tip of the broad head just under the skin at the base of her skull. When the arrow impacted it kind of sounded like a judo tip hitting an old rotten tree stump. kerchunk!
