I hope you get some decent weather for a late season hunt. Your weather is probably a lot like ours. December and January are mostly cold but we usually get a few nice days. The good part is the sun comes up later and you don't have to get up as early. Good luck!

Great job and a great buck!

This year it's been difficult for me to get a legal deer (4 pts on one side or antlerless) into range of my crossbow. I could have killed several smaller bucks that I couldn't be sure were legal and the does seem pretty scarce. Firearms season opened last Saturday, and I shot a nice fat doe that mor...

Congrats on a true trophy! Way too much emphasis is put on a set of antlers in the hunting world today. All deer taken are special and should be treated with respect. Think of what a boring world it would be without the majestic whitetail to chase around! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: ! I agree 100...

Thanks for the story and the pictures and congratulations to all! We too have a lot of deer without brow tines which makes our 4 points on one side minimum more difficult to identify. As you point out, the problem is also there for shooting antlerless deer. Spike bucks can look a lot like does. It's...

Nice buck and great picture! Is that a bolt on the rifle? I've never owned a muzzleloader so I know very little about them but the words "bolt" and "muzzleloader" don't seem to go together. I'm perfectly OK with people using them, but it seems wrong to call a bolt action rifle (i...

That's a nice buck! Big deer and the antlers have some heft like older deer have. Enjoy your success!

Great hunt! Very satisfying and productive.

Although I'm retired and have my own place to hunt, but I haven't been out much this year. The corn is still in our field and the woods has been so thick with vegetation visibility has been hard. I just got back from two weeks in Argentina and Brazil to find the woods more open but the corn still st...

I'll say it again: Every deer is a trophy! Nice going!

Everything about this story is fantastic! Life is all about memories, and this day will be one that you and (and your family) will always cherish. Congratulations!

That looks like Thanksgiving dinner! Is that an Eastern, Merriam's or Rio Grande? Beautiful bird whichever it is.

Sounds like the hunt of a lifetime. Congratulations!

We used to only see eagles in the winter. The water above the locks and dams on the Mississippi would freeze and the turbines in the dams would stun fish coming out of the flowing water below the dams. (Mostly migratory) eagles would come down to feed on the stunned fish. Now we have eagles year rou...

That is an objectively beautiful buck! No exaggeration necessary on this deer. He really is a dandy!
Congratulations!
