Made my second sit of the season this evening. Saw seven does and fawns yesterday morning. Sat this evening and saw four bucks three one and a half year olds and the 2.5 I shot. One of the smaller bucks had what appeared as one horn. There was a second just kind of hanging off the side of his head. I have a pup I’m training to trail deer. Never got much of a look at the buck ther than seeing he was substantially larger than the other three. He offered a slight quartering to and I took it hoping for a 100-150 yard track to work the pup on. He ran about 120 and died five yards from my tree. I felt silly walking a big circle to where I shot the buck just so the dog could trail it to a spot 30 yards from where I unloaded her. Wasn’t the buck I hoped it was but I was blessed with a great evening in the woods.

Nice work @philsanchez76 !!


I’ve got a work project this weekend and then I’ll pretty much hunt everyday during November. My goal is to put 20 points up for team. But, I’m not gonna be too picky!

Nothing special, but he is in the freezer and will be on the table tonight. Happy to help the team. Looking for at least a doe, but hopefully a big buck also. I'll have to be a bit more selective now.
That’s a great position to be in.

Nothin better than loading up the freezer with some meat and then serving up the tenderloins and backstrap right away. We had bacon wrapped tenderloins today for lunch while watching the Titans game. perfect.

Same public, just different area. Really just started hunting it. It's a promising place. And thanks, I'm staying pretty positive. It's still early. I'll hunt all through the season.
