Only saw one buck this evening. Coyote chased this doe in. She stopped and stood behind a tree for almost 15min about 10y away watching the coyote and the coyote finally moved on and she stepped out. She was a big old nanny, 120-130lb dressed easy.

Got my first deer this week, 8 point, I've only been hunting for a couple of years.

Was sitting in my blind and he was within about 15 yards when I took the shot. Clean shot right through the heart. It ran about 30-50 yards and then dropped.

When I found it on the ground, I had 3 more deer walk up to me by within about 15 feet before they realized I was standing there, way closer than I would imagine they would get. Figured I could have shot another but I had my work cut out for me with this one, since I wanted to process it myself and didn't want to take another.

Made my first backstrap steak last night and it was amazing, as tender as any ribeye I've ever had.

This one is showing up again. He’s a really cool old deer.

I’ve got one similar I passed on opening day of archery while waiting on the buck I killed, and now, if I can see him again, I’m going to remove the big old crumb hustler from my protein feeder.

This guy has eaten a lot of All Stock. I’m pretty sure he’s got a damaged pedicle, because I had a buck with the same funky forked spike last year.

Racist deer! Can’t we all just get along?

Both from the same little piece of land up in Grant County. My buddy did the mounts for me on both.
