You guys just keep knocking them down!

I got out yesterday AM and will again tonight. Our ML season opens next Saturday and I’ll be out with mine. Keep those deer coming!
 
Back up. Hunting a new property that I’ve never set foot on before. Right in the edge of a no hunting piece of public. My first location I’d pinned had an illegal tree stand left up. Love that.
 
I'm setup in a good acorn flat in a good pinch point. Any deer I see will be within 50 yards or so, so I broke out the .450 bushmaster. Never killed a deer with it, so we'll see. I had a good 9 point on camera here, but this time of year theres always new bucks in and out of this area.Screenshot_20191124-162438_Gallery.jpg
 
Nada for me tonight. I’m looking forward to ML season and a chance to hunt some new properties. My archery only spots are leaving me kind of burned out.
 
Had a nice sit at my bosses place. Saw a nice 2.5 year old eight point right at the end of legal light. It’s just not the kind of place you shoot 2.5 year old bucks. Here’s a little buck that came in early. The bigger buck came right under me but the t was to dark for a photo. 1912BEB7-A0AC-4BC3-B834-2016620EBD68.jpeg
 
This has been one of the slowest deer seasons I've ever had. Seeing very few deer, ive seen 9 of these fox squirrels this morning. Just about ready to forget the deer and start squirrel hunting. Screenshot_20191125-081844_Gallery.jpg
 
Another doe down. She ran 400 yards, verified by GPS. Never had a double lung deer cover that kinda yardage. I think the fact that she was kinda suspicious of that blob in the tree, coupled with the fact that the woods she ran through were wide open, contributed to that.

Also, FWIW I'm not a huge fan of the NAP doublecross broadheads. Very "meh" blood trail. They're similar to the sling blades, which were also not very bloody heads. Haven't lost a deer to them, but if I'm shooting an expandable I wanna see big ole holes in stuff.

Don't give up...we gotta win this thing. At the very least wear your saddle while driving and cruise the roads with the most deer crossing signs.

In the past I had good luck with the NAP spitfires. Small entry but good blood trails and exits. I'm currently using rage trypans and they're my favorite mechanical I've ever shot so far.

Just checking to see if this thread is still active. Keep checking my inbox for coordinates of a 30 pt buck in a state other than Missouri to go shoot for team 8.

I believe there is one so legendary they wrote a song about it. I think it's in Wisconsin.
 
I've hunted every day this week. The mornings have been super slow, not much movement but have seen 2 different bucks bumping doe's, neither were shooters though. This evening was slow but the previous 2 had been good, saw a shooter monday evening but couldn't get a shot as he was chasing some doe's through the flooded timber. I'll be out again in the morning.
