Ok story is I had seen a few does and small bucks but nothing chasing really. About 845 I hear leaves crunching to my right and theres a doe coming up the trail. I look behind and see nothing and think I cant believe there is nothing with any of these does. I look out in the pasture and right at the timber edge I see him licking a branch. I grab my bow and get the camera ready. The doe is looking right at him. He starts down the main trail and grunts. Now if this damn doe would have continued her trail the buck would have taken his and I wouldn't have to turn and it would have been on camera. But of course she has to be dumb and start acting funny with him. So he stopped on the trail watching her and grunts. I know I have to stand up and turn to my right cause he gonna come at her and when I she the doe kinda scurries off. So I draw and as he goes after her I "meehh" at him pretty loud and he stops and I let it fly. I see I hit him a little back but still in the ribs. He runs about 20 yards behind be and is just standing there squatting to me. I know hes hurt. But dont see him wobbling or tail flicking so I nock another arrow and put it on his front shoulder and this one hit good. He takes off up the hill then turns and goes down other side and I see him stop amd take a few steps and I lose him. I'm thinking he laid down. I only wait like 2 min and go look at my first arrow. Theres guts on it! Wtf?! So i go to the second shot and cant find the arrow but i see good blood right away. So I sneak out and go the truck and wait on dad . We wait like 30 and follow the easy blood trail. And he is where i I last saw him. The arrow is hanging out and the broadhead is gone!lol
And I scored him at 140

Y’all don’t forget to post your deer up! I know we won’t be up near the top but at least we won’t be last haha. Everybody on the team has scored at least a doe.

Wow. I thought I responded on this thread since I did lol. Damn time flies! I shot a 3x3 sika stag last weekend (it was with the slug gun though) and shot 2 more doe yesterday. The whitetail bucks are still eluding me this year. I can promise you, if the bucks end up winning, they’ve earned it. I’ve been hitting the woods as hard as I possibly can. Been passing smaller and young bucks but haven’t been in range of a mature buck since the ones that got away in November.

I’m still out trying to fill the tags. Unfortunately the big boys are not cooperating. Ended up with 45 in the plot when I left. Had a real nice 9 point show up that will be something special next year and one of the shooter bucks came in sporting only 1 side. It has been a fun season and hopefully you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year

Hope you had a great holiday too pinger!! That’s a whole lot of ladies in that field lol. Have seen a few 1/2 racks here too already. Still hoping to connect on one still holding before the fat lady sings! Did manage to shoot 2 more sika deer on New Year’s Day but the whitetail bucks have been winning the fight this year.

Any of y’all still out there hunting? Our season runs til the end of February, but I typically hang it up by the end of January. Still have a decent buck at the house on cam but he hasn’t been making any daylight appearances. I’m going to try and get 1 more doe for the freezer and watch this buck til he sheds to see if he starts moving during daylight. Been a fun year guys. Hope y’all come back to do it again next year.

Still grinding away!! Have my last hoorah this weekend. Supposed to be super strings winds tomorrow so I’m going to try a 11am-dark (6pm) sit. Then I have all day Saturday and a 1/2 day Sunday before the fat lady sounds off.
