2023 Deer Pics/Chat/Excuses

[Okie4570]

I am so thoroughly depressed and disgusted losing my target buck that I am contemplating not even hunting. There are no other bucks on my place that I want to take. My daughters will be here Sunday and there are a few bucks they would be happy to get, so I also don’t want to mess up their hunting.

If anything, I might go hunt my neighbor’s place. He told me I could hunt there but I haven’t done much scouting and have no cameras, so it is possible I could cross paths with a shooter buck I have no knowledge of. I will either do that or go sit silently on a high spot and watch for crows and buzzards.

There's absolutely no telling what could show up right now, possibly even bigger and better than your target buck. Honestly I've never had a chance at a target buck after the first week of November. Pretty sure every buck that's on my wall that I've killed with a rifle, I didn't see the buck until right when I shot it, or the night before scouting. Any target buck that I've killed was done with a bow or ML early in the year.

Lots of deer and chasing all morning, no shooters yet.

I had to sit for only 15 min this morning and got this cull buck that had the same screwy antler and one side broken last year. Glad I got him out of the gene pool and heading to be jerky

Congrats on the buck!
Zero here this morning. Lots of activity but nothing big enough to shoot.
I was working on a chair arm that’s loose and forgot to look up for a bit. When I did, the giant 6 pointer we want out of the herd was just walking back into the trees.

Tell the truth. You were either asleep or focused on making more coffee.

Had 2 does come in at first light, then a great looking young 6 who made a scrape by the feeder. Had some more does 45 mins later and an older, but smaller 8 bumped them off feeder. Does didn’t seem interested and the Buck ate for a while and didn’t seem to care about chasing the ladies.

We had zero pics from 10:50 last night until two test pics on the cell cams at 4:12 and 5:08 am. Never had a pic less night at least in the last few months.

They moved all morning where I was sitting which is a travel area until about 11:15am. Then nothing but squirrels. Hardly anything on cams and zero buck pics on cams.
