Yeah a few years back I had a car following me too close on a windy 2 lane road. I think it was posted 45 and my 47 was obviously not going remotely fast enough. So after a couple miles I slowed down a little and he shot by me. Nailed a big doe right after he merged back in front of me after passing, while he was doing about 65 or 70. His car was definitely totaled. He was fortunately physically fine, but crushed the front end enough to bust the radiator, trans cooler, one side of the headlights, front windshield, A-pillar and front edge of the roof. Deer almost came in through the windshield but it flipped up and hit the top edge at the roof and A-pillar. A foot or two lower and it would have joined him in his seat.

I shot a nice size doe this eve.All four of her hooves were twice as long as they should be and they criss-crossed each other.I dont know how she got around.Before climbing in my stand,I saw three does watching me.I picked out the biggest one and shot her,so I never saw how she looked when she walked,but Im sure it would be obvious something was wrong.
picture?!

I never learned how to post pics to the internet.
I can text them to anyone who would like to see or post them up.

Found a dead one years ago (skeleton) and showed the hoofs to a friend and he called it "foundering". Not sure if that is an accurate assessment or not, just my limited experience.
I shot one like that years ago at Patuxent /Ft Meade Refuge, the USFWS biologist at check-in took all 4 feet to study. They looked like “Genie Slippers”. I never did hear anything from her about what that was. She assured me before I left I could eat that doe without issue. I donated that deer, I wasn’t eating that mutant freak.

Last minutes of last day late gun, connected with a 9 point I’d seen several times early bow hunting. One time at 35 yards but I wasn’t confident with my shot so he walked. Another time he was broadside at 85 yards bow hunting. Didn’t see him again until tonight.

Congrats ChrisD nice mature buck there awesome! Something how you see them and don't see them again for a while. I've been after a nice mountain buck up in Garrett Co. Saw him Halloween week when I was bow hunting to far for a shot. Did not see him rifle season after Thanksgiving. Did not see him late muzzle loader season after Christmas. I've let four smaller bucks go because of him. He is still there though. Found his large tracks and large diameter poop when I was up for late muzzle loader. You know how it is he's a smart mature educated buck!

Unusually warm but still some good game movement going on. Soon it will be time to go for turkeys- bet it's a lot colder by then for the opener.
Every year I usually get stung at least once for thinking the colder weather has past for turkey. Last year it rained a lot on opening day I think but was pretty warm.
This one has a nice Roman nose on him.

Some nice deer taken from the MDS crew and families. I've seen some dandy bucks afield and in this thread. I took 2 does on Saturday and headed out to Chambersburg on Wednesday to do some Pheasant hunting with my brother and Uncle. (Uncle runs a game preserve)This will be a new adventure for me as I've never hunted for any bird.

I'm curious: what do you do with the coyote?
I've been wondering why we haven't seen pictures of draft horses with antlers this year.

My thought was to just have it tanned and hang it. I can't afford to have it mounted(I have a deer head being mounted now, the deer I shot this year, but with head gear from a deer I shot a few years ago). I've seen some really cool looking coyote shoulder mounts. I decided to have it tanned, as I said, but I'm giving it to my friend who let me hunt his grounds this year as a thank you. It will be a surprise to him.

Hahaha! Them things don't fall out of trees every day.
That deer had a 21" neck! I almost let him walk. Then I realized, I still needed meat...
Don’t matter what kind of hunting your doing, if you see a coyote, it becomes a coyote hunt.
