    Odocoileus virginianus pic thread 2020/2021

    Congrats to all you guys on some dang nice deer! Holy crap, Okie4570... I made myself an orange hatted bowhunter on a little smaller buck than I intended (dang left finger) but he's good covid apocalypse food. ;) Also killed him in my deepest ridgetop stand and with all the storm deadfalls...

    2019 Deer Hunting

    I hadn't seen a shooter buck from stand all year. Today I said to myself I will get down from my stand at 9:45 am. I had stuff to do midday. 8:10 I see a yearling forky or maybe small six. Pass him at 40 yds. He's cruising, sniffing the ground. It's kinda windy and it's been a grind lately...

    Predator Control

    Yeah, I no longer shoot coyotes while deer hunting after reading Coyote America by Dan Flores and doing a deep dive. I think most "control" amounts to futile feel good stuff. People, especially cattlemen and hunters, have an highly emotional emotional hatred for coyotes. The guy who owns my...

    What do you carry in your backpack, or do you even carry one?

    I weighed mine. 12.26lbs minus my lunch and 32oz nalgene. That's with a wool sweater and winter coat in it.

    Lost Deer

    225gr .35 Accubond Exit, quartering to but still behind shoulder. Not much expansion but still a big hole. 20 yard recovery. This is the exit on this buck, the entrance was much higher (close shot from a bow treestand) and straight through the other shoulder. Mule kicked and ran 50 yards on...

    Lost Deer

    RE ballistic tips, I should note our deer in the NEOK Ozark foothills are not big bodied like out in farm country or anything. That said I am beginning to become a sturdier bullet guy and haven't shot a ballistic tip since I shelved my last .270. I am going to be putting together a .270 or 7mm...

    Lost Deer

    I shot nothing but .270 130gr ballistic tips for years and was pretty happy with their performance on deer. Great expansion on double lungs. Huge, very short blood trails. I shoot 225gr Accubonds from my Whelen. They don't expand like a ballistic tip on deer but they don't need to. Real happy...

    2019 Deer Hunting

    Sat on a field looking for a doe this morning, nothin'. Moved back in the woods at 9:30 and started seeing deer at 1:00. Doe with twins feeding on acorns on the neighbor's place. I had to leave at 1:30, of course. Snuck out with them then. This is a bow stand on a trail leading off the neighbors...

    Deer gun season to possibly increase in 2020.

    McCurtain County assumed legal shooting hours: one half hour after sunset until the spotlight battery dies or the truck runs out of gas.

    Lost Deer

    Impossible! Drops 'em every time I hear. Nah to be serious everyone knows what type of guy I'm talking about and it's not a guy doing what Chenry does and sniping the vertebrate behind the skull with a proven rifle. It's the casual rifle hunter taking a shot he has low confidence about in the...

    Deer gun season to possibly increase in 2020.

    Lots of people years ago used to call it an elitist bowhunter argument to be in favor of shorter gun seasons or gun seasons outside the rut. I've always thought the same as others like bassin are posting...it's the opposite of elitist. I think it hurts the average guy to lengthen gun.

    Deer gun season to possibly increase in 2020.

    Anecdotally it seems like there's more support here for not lengthening gun season than there was 8-10 years ago when we discussed this. Wonder if folks are seeing the inklings of the changes we could be headed for more and more.
