"He was on the ground before we heard the shot!"

Guys Waleye is out with an injury so i have enlisted a replacement so that Averysadventure can still play. Prvrt is willing to join his team. im just wondering if every one is ok with this?

things have kind of slowed down since ddahl3 kicked off the season with a fatty doe and snuck his team in to the lead. so i take not many are archery hunting deer this september. either way i know the contest this year will be awesome and should be very competitive.


have fun and be safe.
lets start seeing some deer photos.

Cool thanks guys. Now go shoot a big one dev!

I got some blood on my hands last week for the first time this year. Figured I needed some pepperoni.

Sounds great to me . Curt G.

Well guys I killed a fat doe this past weekend, forgot pics. I could take one of the body though. Just getting ready to cut her up. I do it all myself.

gonna need that picture of the body man your teammate is depending on it. if every body is ok with the body picture i will count it. make sure you have something in the picture that says 2012.


"He was on the ground before we heard the shot!"

Ok hope this is enough. By the way, shot her with my bow at 78 yards!!

Looks good to me as well. Good meat in the freezer for sure.....

Count it .

I have a deer to check in but I'm pretty bumbed about the whole deal. Bear with me as I tell my story.
I drew the 60-2 either sex tag. It started on Oct. 5th and goes to Nov. 17. I knew I had a chance at a big buck and I was planning on holding out for one.
Saturday, I got into alot of doe and a couple nice bucks. I could have taken a shot at a big 4 point at about 400 yards but he was walking fast and I decided to not shoot.
Sunday morning I went back to the same area that I saw the big buck in and went to push a little patch of quakys and spotted a deer at 100 yards peeking through the trees at me. I pulled the binos and caught a glimpse of antlers in the trees as he turned his head. It was pretty thick so I couldn't tell how big he was. I had just a small window to get a shot behind the shoulder.
My ten year old son was with me and was saying "shoot him dad, shoot him". I figured it was the same buck I saw the day before so I decided to chance it. Well, I dropped the hammer on him and he fell like a ton of bricks. After high fiving my son we went to check him out and we found a 4 point minus 2! The tree branches made him look a lot bigger! I about started to cry. I shot a dang fork horn! I still can't get over it. I am so mad at myself for not being 100% positive it was the big buck.
I guess I learned a lesson for next time. If I ever draw a tag like this again. Hope none of you guys do the same dumb thing. On the positive note, it was time with my son. He was stoked that we shot a buck. And we have meat in the freezer! Here is my picture for the Mikkfin wall of shame!

Hey man don't be down on yourself. mistakes happen and what you were able to experience with your son will last a life time for him. im sure it didn't matter if it was a fork n horn to him.

anyways thats 9 points for your team and currently puts you guys in the lead.


"He was on the ground before we heard the shot!"

actually its a solid 10 points after looking at the picture with your boy in it. it has a little forked crab claw on its left side.


"He was on the ground before we heard the shot!"

Looks like one happy kid to me. I remember my brother and i talking my father into shooting a puny little bear when i was maybe ten. The only part my father regretted was when he had to bring it to the fish biologist for tooth and tissue samples. I suppose this feeling would have been the opposite of bringing a 370 bull or 180 whitetail to the taxidermist.

I am almost thirty now and that was a great experience and i have not forgotten that.

Thanks for the encouraging words guys. I'm starting to get over it. My kid is still pretty proud. I can't wait for 2 more years when he is the one pulling the trigger. I'm taking him duck hunting this Saturday. Hopefully I will have some pictures to post of his kill.

Ok CJ I hope this will work where i was by myself and it was a little tricky to figure out how to fit everyone and everything in the pix. lemme know what else i need to do.
hes a 2x3

Nice job DMA.

That left side looks like it has a "crab-claw" on it. Does that count?
Keep your gunpowder dry and your hooks in the water. ><>J

THANKS.... wish the little crawdad hook on the left side was a little bigger tho. Every point counts

Apparently its the year to shoot the wrong buck. I was on above a group of deer in a field just before you could really see what they were. After I waited a few minutes I stood up for a better look and heard a buck wheez right next to me. I turn and there stands 3 bucks at about 75 yards, a 4x4, 2x2 and looked like a little button. After I bent over to grab my gun I take a look through my scope at the lead buck which was the 4 point and its stepping away, can still see the horns up above the ears and figure yup thats him and put the hammer down. Well as I walk up to my prize I see the 4 point stand and look at me like I am a fool and thats when I realized I got the tall 2 point. So all and all short hunt, good eats but hurt I didnt get the 4 point I wanted. He wasnt a trophy but I needed the points for the contest....boo whooo.

I cannot believe the yr we are having for bucks!! Good size heard's and good size bucks COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!

Good eats for sure!!!! Congrats!
