Pullstart 68,058 #451 Posted October 26 I love processing deer. It makes me feel like I’ve harvested the meat full circle. Mrs. P does not so much any more. It’s $100 right down the road to have processed deer vacuum sealed. As long as I bring them in for processing, it sounds like I can keep hunting does! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 3,565 #452 Posted October 26 Nice. We are still trying to get our first one one. I have two, maybe three nights I can take the boy out this week. Construction on the new garage is starting end of this week, so of course I am having some weird health stuff going on, and I don't have everything cleared out yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 68,058 #454 Posted Sunday at 08:47 PM I talked to my Farmer today. He is going to test the moisture tomorrow, and maybe pick soon! More deer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 68,058 #455 Posted Tuesday at 11:16 AM Not a very eventful video here, which helps explain even more excitement about the next one coming… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 68,058 #456 Posted Tuesday at 04:32 PM If I did not mention it, the first buck of the night on Saturday was shot with my new 4 blade solid Tooth of the Arrow Broadhead. The bow is extremely fast. Opening up the hide, there was damage and gelling in the rib cage very similar to a rifle shot. The hole was about as big as my thumb through the rib cage, but lots of damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 68,058 #457 Posted Tuesday at 04:34 PM My second buck was shot with a Muzzy three blade replaceable blade Broadhead. Two of the three blades are twisted and mangled, and the arrow snapped. It was a spine shot, so I understand how damage to the goods could happen. The TOTA 4 blade is ready for more action! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 68,058 #458 Posted Wednesday at 11:04 AM My double down video from last week! It was a feeling like no other to be so close to these animals and so undetected! Fun times, and now I have two more doe tags to fill! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 3,565 #459 Posted Wednesday at 11:25 PM Oh we had a heart-breaker tonight. Bumped a big doe on our way in, I got a decent look at her, but he wouldn't have had a shot, too much brush. Then after about 30 minutes we saw a buck at the end of the lane that stand is along, watched it for about 5 minutes, but it walked off the other way. It was already 6:15, so we left and got to the edge of the field and there was one standing alone out in the field, about 40 yards from the woods. He isn't setup to shoot past 20. Car came along while we were watching it and moved back towards us. At 10 yards it turned broad-side to him, while he was drawn, and right as he went to shoot the release slipped down his arm and made him jerk. Deer saw it and ran, and he never got the shot off. He cried the whole way home, and I can't blame him. Deer wasn't anything special, couldn't tell if it was a small doe or a button buck, but still. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 68,058 #460 Posted Thursday at 11:34 AM Corn is being cut, and my Uncle and his buddy have their blinds up for the rest of the season. I went scouting in my truck for rubs and scrapes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 68,058 #461 Posted Thursday at 11:40 AM Last night one of the boys sat in my ladder stand for the evening. My bucks were done being processed and I was on my way out, then he told me two does out of his range were working their way towards the water hole and my tall tree stand. I grabbed my bow and ran out in stealth mode. The big doe was head first in the water hole and I was 25 yards in full draw waiting for her to stand and show her vitals. She stood, turned 180 and looked toward me but could not pinpoint me. I was crouched behind enough grass, I was not visible. My wind was in my favor, but there is that intuition. She blew and ran off, and ruined my chance to get a good shot off. They ended up running away from the both of us but I still have a freezer filling up with good aim! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 68,058 #462 Posted yesterday at 10:41 AM I’ve got a buddy coming for the weekend to camp in the driveway one last time before the season is over. He wants to learn to hunt. I figured the best way to see if he can handle it, is to shoot one and get his hands inside it. I’m heading out for a doe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 68,058 #463 Posted yesterday at 01:32 PM One of my biggest struggles having multiple stand locations, is choosing which one to sit in (and the possible regerts watching deer walk past the others!). 7:55 this morning I saw one large deer (likely a buck being solo) walk out of the corn and past the ladder stand on the tree line, while I sat 200 yards away watching through partial light. With no deer on the tail, I’m assuming it would have been off limits for me but still exciting to watch closer if I’d have been in the ladder stand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
