This guy was run off by a bigger buck, he just ran into my direction.....

I had my best rutting observations on Monday, never witnessed the craziness like this before in all my hunting career, 9 different bucks in a span of 6 hrs.....

Beautiful rack. :thumbsup:

I can only imagine what the larger brute looked like...

I think it would be good to be in your stand over a known food source as soon as the last bit of wintery mix ends

I'm thinking the same thing.....as I'll be stuck in my dump truck through the rush hour the way the forecast looks. :banghead:

Few does out of range and no bucks... skunked.

I saw a monster buck in the yard Tuesday night. When standing the head was easily a foot over the top board of the fence. Gigantic body as well. I can't wait to get a crack at it

I had a good hunt. Bucks were CRUISIN. Went out at 1pm, and saw some deer while walking to my stand. I turned around to take a different path, and when I got there, they had already beat me to it! One was out in a field about 100 yards from me, and the other was just at the wood line about 50 yards away. The one in the field was a buck, I could see that, but I didn't know how big. I hit the grunt call, and BOTH start heading straight for me. The close one ended up being a spike. He passed at 15 yards, while I'm standing on the ground with an arrow nocked. The second was a small six, and he passed at about 20 yards. I let them both walk, but it was pretty cool to have that close of an encounter at ground level.

I was out feeding the chickens this afternoon when I noticed buzzards swooping in and out of the back cornfield. Pretty sure of what I'd find I started cruising the rows and found a fairly recent half eaten carcass of an 8 pt buck. From the front shoulder on back was pretty well gone so it was hard to tell what killed it.

I've got another head to hang in the tree

Would make a nice pair to rattle with.

The young-ins are at it again. Not real wide but kinda tall, starting to get some mass. Big as its ever gonna get now. Quarters were getting thin, prolly running hard a week or more.

That's one deer slay'in family there! Congrats!

Speed3 · Nov 18, 2018

In my stand and hear a ruckus thought maybe a few doe or big buck making a rub.

And this little guy appears 20 yards from my stand.

Drank some water, digging in dead fall and renee around and walked away

Hold on he is back....

Typically when out of season, hunters see beautiful wildlife they cant shoot. lol

Had some luck last weekend.

Looks like I wasn't the only one. Congrats to everyone, especially our junior hunters, for connecting this past weekend.

I thought about posting this in the "Pictures that scream you're a..." thread(not really, but the thought made evil clown smile come back).

Dude, whose horse did you put an arrow through? That thing is massive. Don't think I have ever seen a deer with that big a body in Maryland. Look how thick that neck is from the rut. Congrats. Lots of other posts in this thread, but it will have to wait until I am in front of a computer. This phone stuff in a truck going 80 mph over concrete and bouncing up and down is TOUGH.

Did anyone participate in the WSSC hunt a couple weekends ago in Moco?

My uncle did and he got one. When he got to the deer he found he was being challenged by a coyote for the deer and ended up having to fire a shot to get it to leave.
