2019 Deer Season

[bwframe]

I rattled in a 9 point this morning.

the 45/70 buckled it where it stood.

Leadeye, that buck was taken 80 yards from my house.

80 yard shot from the back porch with that sweet 45/70?

Filled my Buck tag around 10am. Henry county, mature 12 point.

 

[Skullglide]

bwframe, no about 25yd shot. I can see the house from the stand. That 45/70 was bought out of the classifieds. I am really liking it.

Filled my Buck tag around 10am. Henry county, mature 12 point.

Congratulations! Hoping to find one like that one day! Was this taken on private land?

1st time staying out all day. Saw action before 10am and around 3pm. All does. Hopefully tomorrow I see something.

Perfect hunting weather this morning. Over cast, cold with frost.

Meat is hanging in the barn...

Congratulations! Hoping to find one like that one day! Was this taken on private land?

Yes. Was taken on family farm. 86 acres. About 60 of which are huntable.

All small bucks and bigger bucks disappeared weeks ago....been seeing does and yearlings still grouped together but never a buck around. Took a doe Thursday evening at 28 yds. Never saw a season like this with no bucks....guess its ok, last couple years barely saw any does and saw mostly bucks of all sizes and scored on 2 nice bucks 2 season in a row so can't complain. Today only couple yearlings ......theres is so much corn still out couple miles away I wonder of bucks are just staying in there.

The picture does not do him justice. He was a beast. I heard a lot going on behind me. When I finally got stood up to look what was going on, I saw this one but could not get a shot. He met up with another smaller buck, that backed down. This guy started to walk away, and I thought, well maybe another day, when he started chasing a doe back to me. He was pretty much coming straight at me. I am 16 feet up, and dropped him in his tracks with shot through the top of his heart at a whopping 18 yards with my 30-06. While I am still sitting in my stand I see another small buck and doe. After I get down to field dress, 3 more deer come to visit from three different directions. One was a nice 6 point. All less than 30 yards away. What a morning. Oh yeah, I shot him at 7:35am.

My stepson broke in the 300BO pistol this evening. He shot a button buck, just his second deer ever. This one was all by himself!

 

[joshuamckee]

I shot this one with my Glock 20 10mm this morning.

 

[Jeffrey]

I got a nice doe this evening in Boone county. No more than 15 yard shot with a .243. She didn’t go far.

 

[NKBJ]

Around the house this morning, only heard one take a second shot so far.

I killed one last night.....with my truck. I plan on exacting revenge on my F150’s behalf tomorrow morning!

Did you get a tag and take it home?

I got my buck yesterday at 9:30. Seen nothing all morning then became running. Bleated and got him to pause. Double lung at 49 yards w a .308. Ran off like nothing happened. Berated myself for 10 min for missing then went to look. Blood everywhere.

Was experiencing change of emotions when I thought a dog barked at me. 2 does were barking at me. Drew on them and they were gone.

Waited 30 more min to start track. Went well over 100 yards following blood trail. Found a pool of blood that was not bubbly so withdrew thinking it was a gut shot.

2 hours later we went tracking. I never saw the spray on the trees. But my buddy did. Had I gone 15 more steps I may have seen him earlier on the next hill.

Dude went almost 200 yards.

Shot a doe at 11:30. Double lung. She collapsed on the spot.

Not it sure why the difference.

Would have gone for #3 today but I think I will be exhausted processing 2 tomorrow. (I do it myself)

Was out most of the day yesterday, didn't even see a single deer. The day before another guy pulled a 10 pointer out if the same woods. Guess it's just not my turn yet.

 

[jagee]

Passed on a little 4 pointer at first...but with limited time to hunt this year, when he circled back around and gave me a clear shot I had to take it. Not huge like some guys but he will eat good.

Thought I had a doe, too, but must have missed. Looked all around for blood but never found a drop.

 

[Hookeye]

I was in jeep when my bud shot. He popped the small 8 I missed in bow. We havent doubled since 2006

 

[Hookeye]

His died in field. Mine in woods.
Its gonna be a tough one.
