Yesterday I patrolled the new piece of property we bought for blinds, stands, cameras, whatever else, and posted about 50 more signs. Found many scrapes the size of a bathtub and a lot of rub lines. Looks very promising.
2 miles down the road is where I live and is my main hunting piece. Corn came off yesterday and just like clockwork the deer were EVERYWHERE. I was glassing them from the house and quit counting at 15. 3 were bucks with one being a shooter by my standards (3.5 and 130"). Then every deer in that field snapped to attention. I looked that direction to a very mature 12pt with 8" tall brow tines making it's way closer and closer. Watched him for about 15 minutes as he checked the doe's for stank. Probably go in the high 150's to mid 160's. Just a marvelous specimen proving that QDM works! Now if I could convince all the dolts on the surrounding properties to stop shooting sparky the wonder spike we just might all enjoy a better herd age structure. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We paid a guy. We both can butcher... but don't know shit about taxidermy. I plan to euromount this little guy from last Thursday DIY style by Youtube and forums. Lol. Not the most showable, but I chased him for weeks, and he dodged a bolt a couple weeks ago. I upgraded to a 400+ fps crossbow. The Rage really fucked him up. Blew out both front shoulders. Watched him try to run with two legs for 40 yards then he went down.  Now he's in the freezer.

So, my absolute favorite heart recipe is to slice it into small strips, soak it in milk a couple hours, coat it in salt and pepper and cajun seasoning, then flour it (I use carbquick flour now, it's low carb) and then pan fry in olive oil. I could eat a bucket of this.

Any of you sharpshooters want a free cow elk hunt, look no further. Might need to be a pretty good shot. 3 shots at 200, 3 at 300 is the test. Field positions only, the 300 shots can be prone. 3 minutes, no misses. 12” round plate target.
https://cpw.state.co.us/Lists/News%20Releases/DispForm.aspx?ID=3689 Interested volunteers must complete an application that outlines strict requirements. Youths under the age of 18 are ineligible for this opportunity. Those who advance through the application process then must complete a shooting qualification hitting small targets the size of an elk’s vitals at 200 and 300 yards. Those attending the qualifying shoot must hit each target three times in a row without a miss within a three minute time period. “This qualification has proven to be difficult for even the most seasoned elk hunters,” said CPW Area Wildlife Manager Rick Basagoitia. “This standard is likely the minimum allowable standard given the difficulty of the work we need volunteers to do.” Applicants also must pass a background check, sign volunteer agreements and will operate under a dispersal coordinator. |

After several years of coming up empty I finally got my 1st buck. It's only the 2nd buck I've ever seen while hunting. The 1st one I wasn't able to get a clean shot off before it walked into thick woods It's not the biggest but I'll take it after sitting multiple days in the rain and wind from the hurricane. I was super excited and rushed the shot and gut shot it but the 458 socom put it down quick. It got the job done but I'm still not happy about shot placement.

Got a bad shot on a doe yesterday. Left it alone overnight after tracking it to a bedding area. Went back this morning and found it but the coyotes had already started on it. Left the rest for them.
