I shot a 4 pointer this morning while looking for any sign that my son hit a doe that he had shot at earlier in the morning (he missed). Clean spine shot at 30 yds while he was chasing a doe. Dead right there. First kill with my Savage Model 12 My Dad got one too, as well as our hunting pal Norm.  My Dad and son on the 4-wheeler  From left to right - Norm, Dad, James, CletusRoundbelly   |

Got this 7 pt. yesterday. I shot a second one that was right behind him, less than 2 minutes later. Searched for 6 hrs yesterday and 4 more today and never found. Arrow broke off and guess it plugged the hole after about 100 yds. Makes me sick b/c the 2nd one was a VERY heavy beamed 8 or 10 pt. This is actually my best bow buck though.   |
, but next week I'll hit the woods and see if I can get one

| I had a 4-pointer walk up about 15 feet from me. I decided that since I already had meat in the freezer, that I would let him walk. Maybe he will get bigger and I will whack him next year. Or not. He trotted right over the hill and ran past my uncle who promptly sent 165 grains of 30-06 love at him. Oh well, he got to live for 5 more minutes than if I would have shot him. |
Nothing. Saw a doe/fawn combo - they stayed about 30 yards over the property line  That was all. I did pick up my deer from last week. What a rip. I need a new processor somewhere off of I-20 east of Atlanta. Exit 114-148 somewhere in there. I dropped off a 167 pound buck last Sunday. They called on Tuesday - it was ready. I showed up today. It took them a while to "find" it. It wasn't frozen. Bags were light. She said all the steaks were on the bottom - under the sausage. Got home. They gave me 24# sausage/burger and 5 whole packs of chops. That's it  No tenderloin. About 26 pounds of meat from a 167# deer.

| I took a doe during bow season, been letting everything walk so far during gun season though. Our "trophy managed" club just got sold to a housing developer so were done after this year. I'm hoping to see a nice buck or several before the end of season, I'm going 3-4 days for the next two weekends to try and make it happen. |
Now did your deer weigh 167 dressed or was that what it weighed undressed? |
Not quite in the area you specified, but at Exit 92 (Covington Exit), try Rut-N-Strut, 10295 Flat Shoals Rd., Covington, (770) 385-5397. Not far off the interstate and I've been very pleased with taking deer that I take in Putnam county to him. Also check here for a list. www.gon.com/page.php?id=59 |
Gonna bring the wife too? Doesn't she have a new AR that she needs to shoot!? 
Yep, Arsenal SLR-105A1R. Here's the full post with post-mortem pics if you are interested in the internal damage the 7N6 ammo causes: www.akforum.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=39540 |
I don't know, it is up to her, and may depend heavily on the spider population density of the property. We'd probably eat 10x better if she came.  She does have a new AR, but no hunting license. Also, I could not ever imagine my wife gutting a deer.......ever. I mean that.....ever. Not in a million years. |
| Hunted Mcraw ford archery only area last sun. stuck one,retrieved arrow,but no deer. I hate wounding an animal and not retrieving it.My arrow hit a small twig and the deer did a 180 just before my arrow reached him.Hit him hard but could'nt find him. I had no orange since it was an archery only area and it sounded like world war three on the private land he ran to. I'm off this week though and i learned patience and humility last week, i'll carry them with me hunting from now on. |
I live in Coweta County, too, but, alas, I have not had time to go yet this year. Sounds like we are in the same boat. |

I am actually going deer hunting for the first time tomorrow (thursday) through Saturday.....it should be interesting. I have been accused (several times) of having pretty bad ADD so sitting in a stinking tree stand all day is going to be intersting.... I asked the guys I am going hunting with if they cared if all I shot...was pictures.
