Ugh
huh??
Got any pictures of that monster?
I've never shot anything absolutely huge, but I almost got my 8 point from a couple years ago mounted. He was the 2nd or 3rd biggest anybody has ever shot on the property. They don't grow as big where we are because the farms have been replaced by homes. That, and we're right near heavily hunted state land. If it's brown, they shoot it.
The pic doesn't really show him off all that well.

Well if you need any help...

Be safe everyone. Make sure to wear those safety harnesses when you're off the ground!
My deer population looks way down again this year.Dont know where they all went and dont think it was hunting pressure.There are alot of coyotes though,thinking they had a big impact on guttin the heard.This will be the third or fourth season that looks like I will be deer less again,I dont shoot doe.
We had a relatively mild winter this past year. The weather shouldn't have hurt their population at all.

Fixed it for you. Good luck today everyone.
As you know pics or it didnt happen!
I do have an archery tag but am going to wait for Xbow season and closer to the rut.Good luck out there today!
Saw about 7 does so far. Took a shot early but missed low. I passed up two other shots on small doe. I didn't expect this active of a morning!

I woke up at 5 to go but rain and wind were not good and I felt like death so I went back to bed...might try and get out this afternoon.
I wish I had pics. My friend took a couple Polaroids of it but I do not have them. The same friend mounted the head and has it hanging in his livingroom.
Dont know about your area but that drought got farmers cutting there corn early (now).The deer been out in them heavy and early before dark with this weather,I just dont like hunting food plots.Its not like TV hunting where the big bucks will come out and say shoot me,there usually totally nocturnal and way back in the bush during hunting hours.Rut time can change all that,early season just lets deer pattern you IMO.
Ok, so it's been 5 years since I've hunted bow due to a past shoulder injury, but...
Four misses?!?
Yes, seriously. I shot 4 times and missed each time. Three were broadside beauties that missed high and one the deer was looking right at me and I missed right. Now that one I get, but the broadsides I should not have missed.
I've been practicing all summer and the last time the bow was out of the case (last week), I was hitting bullseye every time from 20 and 30 yards.
Is it because of the angle? Maybe I'm out of practice on that part...
Frustrating. I'm gonna practice mon/tue and head back up thursday.

All good hunters come to an end LOL. I now wear glasses for distance, at 3:00pm I missed because to my surprise glasses for distance don't work up close in peep site to see pin to place on deer, hair off the top of spine grrrr getting old sucks 
in vision.

Well I wasn't just blasting them over their heads lol.
Wanna really laugh? I had intermittent phone service so I googled "angle compensation" and read like 4 articles about it. I ended up more confused because 2 said not to worry and 2 said it was a big deal.
Thank god they were all does. If one was a buck, more than my feelings would be hurt. I'm still in shock I saw so many deer on state land.

"angle compensation" like I said up in tree you need to bend angle correct, not like straight on from ground. Can't explain it in type..
