Thread: Hunting

It takes a lot of doing to pass a 130. We let em go for a few years trying to get some real real big ones (Some of what we get now is from that residue.) then got some new neighbors on one side. At the end of their first year they showed us pictures of the 9 "shooters" they killed (150 acres). All deer we had let walk. They're nice folks with a different set of standards for what constitutes a big one. I hate it but it's their right. We now shoot em down when we see em.

Seeing a lot of mid day movement also, heck a lot of movement period this past weekend. I been letting my public spots rest during the last two weeks of primitive, doing a bit of snagging before / after work. I'm back to chasing deer as of 6am tomorrow morning on public land and back to the private spot this weekend..

Thanks, He's one of the best I've seen at calling one in. This deer and a 6 pt chased a doe in and out of that swamp for about and hour and a half.

It is really bad when neighbors can not get on the same page. I heard a shot behind my shop one day and went back to check it out.Some neighbors looked like dragging a doe by the ears across my land. When they got to the road they were dragging a buck. He was a 10 pt that you could have covered his horns with a cap. They said that's a pretty set of horns. Yea it would have been in about 4-5 years. You can't pass a buck like that. I do it everyday. I would not shoot one less than 4 1/2 years old and 150 inches. They went on about they didn't have anything like I do. Yea and you never will by shooting deer like that.
Sure it takes a lot of self control not to shoot a 130, but so does everything else in life if you are going to have anything you can be proud of.
