3 hours into the first hunt of the season on a place I just scouted this year. Also my first kill from a saddle. Was a clean heart shot. Got to put my Ark and maniml set up to use for packing our meat for the first time. Other than getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, it was a good first hunt for the year.

Arrowed her last night. Diagonal pass through, exited near her left rear hind. 13-18yards away roughly. She fell within eye sight of the stand in what seemed like 30 seconds. Right before I spotted her I texted my wife saying 1hr left and haven’t seen a thing lol

SC WT, first archery deer. First hunt of the season, sometimes patience pays off.

Not my deer but my 7yo was bound and determined to shoot a deer this fall. We were out of town most of the weekend during our youth weekend. Snuck in a late hunt Sunday and im glad we did. His first ever hunt as the shooter and he takes a doe and then 30 minutes later this buck steps out. Two great shots and he has a first hunt of a lifetime. Proud Dad moment for sure.

Edit: 73 elds may be overkill for whitetails...

1st day in PA today. Told the boy…it’s too hot, I’m not hunting, but would set him up. Get a text at 6:45 asking if he can shoot a rabbit with his Judo. Get a text a few minutes later with picture of the kill from his tree. Then 10 minutes later he calls and tells me he shot his biggest buck….lol. Kid is having a season for a lifetime. Shot a beauty 6x6 Elk 1st morning of our hunt on Sept 8th, then whacks 1st day today….hell of a public land buck for our area. Did a quick measure and came up with 125.5”…

On the board with my Florida archery whitetail.

Was on the road for business, which took me right by my hunting lease. Popped into the woods for an afternoon/evening sit, and arrowed him a little before 7pm.

Quartered him up and threw him over my shoulder, to the work vehicle, and into the cooler, and proceeded to drive him all over the state of GA for the week on a sales trip (head left at camp in a cooler per CWD regs.)



Finished up the euro last weekend

Ha. Thanks. We do ok. But I’ve been deer hunting for almost 40 years. And my last 6 sits dating back to the end of last season have produced two of my best bucks. I like to think killing this one on my 5th sit for him this year was the reward for the 33 sits it took to kill the one at the end of last season
