My 18 year old got his first deer first time in the stand this year. He paid his dues last 2 years going out with me .

Congrats to your boy! Those plastic sleds are the best thing going when you're hauling a deer out by hand.

Finally, i got a deer today!

This has been my worst year to date, I've done nothing but screw up this season. Hopefully its uphill from here

Congrats, don't you usually have stories of dozens of deer standing around as you drop them one after the other?

Good luck to all going this morning. My stand is just up on the hill. My son's stand is about 100 yrds. farther up. He should be here any minute. Good day already.

I seen more traffic on my road than I did at 1600 yesterday afternoon! Be safe driveing and climbing!
Whatever you do don't go to the Cambridge RoFo, the lines out the door.

Yep. My personal best is 4 deer in about 2 minutes and last year i shot 2 or 3 doubles. Hopefully there will be a repeat of that today

Good luck to everyone and be safe :thumbsup:

My daughter missed a nice 8 point buck this morning, The rack is fairly unique and I believe it was the one she passed up on last year on the youth hunt. It was walking broadside and wouldn't stop about 40 yards out. I could find no blood and I hope she missed it clean and didn't gut shot it. Sucks it has some mass to it.

Here's what I did today with one of my "ghost guns". Heart/lung shot on a 9 pointer with some character.

MilsurpDan · Nov 25, 2017

Didn’t see anything worth shooting this morning. Hopefully I bag one tonight. I’m taking my 91/30 PU Sniper with me so maybe one of these fascist deer will catch a bullet later.

Bambi meets Casper.

Nice deer, AO Bush!
Dan - just pretend the deer are Germans

I passed on a 5pt this AM - it was the only deer I saw. Going back out at 2pm and looking for a "keeper" :thumbsup:

Sorry for the lack of deer & gun pics in the woods, my phone camera is broken.

This 6 point came in this morning. The rack isnt much but its body was HUGE, lots of meat for the freezer.

The 6.8 SPC did its job and turned the inside of the deer to jelly.

ETA: i'm going to try my hand at a DIY Euro mount

Saw about half dozen does this am. Shot a nice one that was 105 lbs dressed. First ever deer I got on rifle opening day. Very happy since the freezer was empty. Interestingly enough she was still lactating. Is that usual?

outrider58 · Nov 25, 2017

Shot this guy about 6:30 this morning. He's either a scrawny 3.5yo(I hope) or a real nice 2.5yo(in which case, I screwed up royal). He's as big as he's ever gonna get though.

Most have weened their babies by now but still have milk. not unusual.

nice! looks like a 3.5yr old If that was a 2.5yr old he would have been a beast at 3.5. Could just be rutting and lost some mass/fat.

I'd go with a 3.5 due to the head to ear ratio. A little tough to tell with that picture, but I'll go with 3.5.

BTW, great Karma!

TrappedinMD · Nov 25, 2017

Only saw a doe today and since I'm in the westerly hunting zone had to let it walk.

Neot · Nov 25, 2017

Saw an 8 pointer I hadn't seen in 3 weeks. He's still a year or two away from being a good deer. Then had 3 does come in who I hadn't seen in daylight in around 5 weeks. Orange Army was out in force and pushing them my way I guess. Just waiting on the right one....

Same here, finally drilled one at dusk.

Work has been getting in the way of my hunting time.
