I shot a deer once. It was fun and tasted gud.

Am smarter just stirring the pot that’s all

Here ya go. Our season on the property is coming to an end due to the quail hunting about to start and the owners spending a lot of time here so the manager said start shooting some management bucks and does as fast as you can. My son and I have said no rifle bucks for us, so here’s my management 8pt. And yeah, my heart was pounding.
I’d rattled and a young 8 came in from behind me and stopped, he looked back towards the East out in front of me which caused me to turn around and see this guy coming in. I was already standing but had my optics in my hand instead of the bow. As he stepped behind a big oak I swapped optics for bow. As he stepped behind another oak I drew. When he saw the other buck he stopped and I released. He jumped and started back the way he came and dropped. Nothing special about him except he got the heart pumping and one of the 8’s we wanted to take.

I know....I'm just gouging back....

All bow kills are super special!!!

Management 8…8pt that won’t ever amount to anything and eating food that could be eaten by 10pts with huge testicles!

where I live I bow hunt in the big woods the only thing food wise that deer get is acorns and whatever else they can find. I also hunt out of state and we use mineral blocks during the summer to draw deer in to our trail cameras and many other forms of wildlife.

I'm thinking a Euro mount. Shaved.

Is this the same organization aka the Quality Scrotum Management Association?

Unreal!

Unfortunately sounds like the answer is YES. But only very few of us.

I'm surprised that you wouldn't enjoy scouting the area you hunt finding sign that big deer leave behind then unraveling and dissecting his core area then when conditions are right move in for the kill at that moment you no you have fooled a mature buck (5 years and older) and at the same moment you decide if your going to kill him or let him go? For myself that's the joy of hunting,not knowing till he's in range, I have friends that hunt with camera's they have watched the bucks grow up on camera and have them named they kill lots of mature bucks, but for myself it's not the same.

Send me the address of where to send them. I’ll use USPS and they should arrive sometime late next week. And if a certificate is due for trophy status please mail it and the testes back for framing.

The real question is. Does anybody here trap anymore?

No bait, no lure, no urine, no trail cameras. Just go out with some footholds, body grips and cable restraints. Find game trails and set blind sets.


Also, I’ll add my name to the list of people who hunt deer. But I also hunt other species. I’m also a big fan of not caring how another person hunts as long as it is legal where they decide to hunt.

Some of y’all take your own opinions a little too seriously.

Anyway, have a good one.

Mostly private, one Peace of Forest service was good for 2 deer.

Has anyone made a deer hunting show strictly filmed deer on public land?

There is a u tube guy that is called hunt the public. I have noticed a large increase in people on public land as he has gotten bigger.

Yep, several folks have videos out. Pretty good guys too. They hunt deer, turkeys, and ducks.

Yep, great group of guys.
They have fun hunting and do a great job filming.
THP.
