BIG WAGS
Well ------I get "The Call" 1am this morning, Dad we are all fine BUT been in a crash.
He hit a deer, everyone is okay , the car made it home,3 miles, but has a good bit of damage.
Says it was a one of the biggest bucks he had ever seen. Route 51 Large hill in front of the new "Ultra" body shop.
That makes both my sons and wife have hit deer in the past 2 months....
...I hope to hit mine with 180 grains tomorrow......
 
 
STUPID DEER

 
Glad everyone is ok.  Saw one of the biggest bucks of my life (on the hoof) crossing that side road (forget the name) that cuts through the hill there on Large hill (going up from the bridge on the right almost across from Ultra).  Just happened to look over to the left on my way down the hill on my way home from work and saw him cross that side road.  That steep, thick hillside must be a good haunt for them big boys.....
 

First day of Buck.
Saw my 1st deer at 9:50 am.... a nice 6 point @ 150 yards. Walking the ridge no background ----let him go.
Watched 4 then 2 doe moving along in the next hour.
After lunch took a walk. Buddy set up in a clearing near a large field.
I walked the edge of the field, and a nice buck stood up @ 20 feet. He tried to sneak away, BUT his rack hit the branches. He moved the edge back towards my buddy. I heard another move out into the field, later find out it was his beatch.
Waited 5 minutes then started to follow him. 20 yards then WHAM...........
Waited 1 minute called him "That you?"----"Yep"
After 150 yards there he laid.....
Had to drag 15 yards out of the nasty****thicket, but he weighed 550 prior to gutting him....
Only 10 yards to tractor.....Thank The Lord.....
90 minutes later.... Capped and quartered and in the fridge........
 
I got this manAttachments are not available: Download requirements not met a  buck in 2011 and now in 2015........sure hope he pays me back SOON........
 
OH I lied about the 550.......but I am out of shape....
 

Eyes and Gills.... Hunted that steep slope a few times +35 years ago. We drove it, and yes there are 3 benches they hide on...
MANY big boyz hung out on that hillside and also between 51 and West Elizabeth.

What are buddies for,congrats on your buddies buck.

BTDT-----My buddy shot the buck.I am still "in the hunt"
 

Well really should move this to big game not archery/ early season...
 
BUT headed up to Forbes State forest---Uniontown mountain---Elliotsville road onto Brethren Summit Road then all the way to the top...
My dad got his first buck there, after 30 years of hunting. (also his second one too the next year, Both huge tens).
Creeped down in prior to light. it was so quiet and peaceful. I love BIG woods.
Saw 2 tree rats, heard a turkey, +50 crows, and a hawk that was 24" tall........
Found ONE pile of deer pellets, one OLD scrape......THAT IS ALL
Did hear 14 shots by 11am...that's when I called it Quits.
 
NEXT YEAR....remind me to post where I will be hunting, so all yinz guyz know to go elsewhere....
Somewhat like a winter weather forecast....
 
STUPID F'N DEER
 

Don't give up hope Wags, there's still time, look at me.  Well on second thought, forget that "look at me" part, it might give ya nightmares or sumthin.
 
I just checked out some new turf and I'm all kinds of excited.  I just know, the changes being made with the White-Tailed Deer eradication program, this new place could be polluted with deer in, say, five years.
 
Good luck, don't give up, ya just never know.

Well my last morning in my ladder stand was a bust. ONE doe snuck in turned and left. Trail camera shows a little 5 point, not even above his ears. Also showed the 8 pt. is still on the prowl. He only went past once in the past 9 days. The other pictures are of doe.  The one pair of doe bedded in front of the camera @ 8:45pm and did not get up until 5am.
Really seemed odd 8 hours and at night.
       So with that my season is over.......well until Day after Christmas......
 
SO to all of you " MERRY CHRISTMAS"----"GOD BLESS YOU ALL"-----"I SUPPORT POLICE,FIRE, and EMS"---- "YES I DO OWN WEAPONS."
                                         (to bad my weapons don't any destruction to the deer herd, let alone mass destruction)
