Lol BTDT.....children of the corn are watching you



😩 you try walking down an unlit dirt road in total darkness and have them stupid things "snort" 😲 20 yards away. 😵Snot funny.

They are so damed cute though.😂

Would a been a better picture had I not smudged the camera lens with a finger print again. Such a stupid place, to put a camera lens anyways😡 and another thing, I took a second shot but I was still shaking and instead of tapping the shutter button, I hit the selfie quick button and the flash fired directly into my eyes. Snot funny, that hurt.😱.


😉Glad you enjoyed the pic.👍

Great buck Justin!  Congrats!
 
Had a real fun hunt with my 9 year old Saturday on some new property in Crawford Co, courtesy of a really generous landowner.  He was close to getting shots off at some young bucks, but no dice.  Saw a slammer that knew what was up, and never got closer than 150 yards.  Landowner pulled his cards Sunday and sent me pics of a 4 or 5 year old buck that was checkin' on some does 45 minutes before we got set up!  
 
Returned yesterday with him and my 16 year old, but it was pretty uneventful for both of 'em.  
 
Reckon the younger one is done till gun season.  He hunted hard this year, but he's ready for a break.  See how many more times the older one can make himself get out this week.  I imagine he'll give it a few more tries.

Congrats Eyes on the fine buck!! 
 
Did an all day sit yesterday and seen 4 bucks. A good one that was too far and not interested in calls. Sat this morning till 11. No bucks seen this morning. Decided to come hunt closer to home this evening. Things are definitely slowing down in my areas. Last week was the best week for sure. Oh well. I am gonna stick to it and hope to catch a buck moving from one hot doe to another.

Ran an arrow through a good one this morning. Man, it was cold out there. He was trailing a doe and thought it was over when she came right under me and started to get nervous. She bolted, but stopped at 20 yards and he followed, offering me a 14 yard hard quartering away shot.

Found him! A barrel chested rutted up stinky buck. 8 point with roughly a 17 inch spread.

Eyes that's a pretty cool piece of equipment buttttt that price.... wowzer😲!

My phone didn't cost nearly that much which is probably why, my pictures look to be taken through a finger print smudged lense.

Howeverrrrr, if you're at a loss as to what to get me for Christmas. 😛

Here are a few better pictures. He ended up going about 60 yards total. Pretty sure I heard him crash but the invasive honeysuckle is so thick the direction he went, I couldn't see him go down so I waited about an hour before trailing. Even though action typically slows down a bit during the second week of November with some lock down occurring, it just takes a buck to break away from one doe and start harassing another to get things stirring again. Perseverance is the key. It was tough climbing out of bed this morning knowing it was 10 degrees out there. 
 
When I was trailing this buck, I could hear a deer running towards me. A 5 point came blowing past me at probably an arms width away. Not sure if he thought my crunching in the leaves was another deer or not.
