2025 Whitetail Meatpole

[Elkhntr6]

Shot the doe opening morning of my November/December extra doe tag and the following weekend shot this little Buck. North Idaho

Hunting my father in laws farm, I missed a nice buck opening morning of rifle season in WV (buck fever got me) but got this doe about an hour later.

Definitely not the biggest but needed a little redemption and got some meat in the freezer.

Tagged out in VA on a buck I’ve been chasing for the last four falls. I believe he’s 7.5 years old. One of my best bucks to date, and without a doubt the prettiest. He was actually on a slight decline, last year he probably had 10-15 more inches of bone on his head.

Tikka 6.5 creed w/ the 140 grain accubounds did the job perfectly.

Shot a couple of does to end the season in Wyoming. First up was a doe at 100 yards and my 300 BLK shooting the 194 Lehigh. Worked great, she was down in seconds.



After dragging her to the truck, I saw another group of does. I had my 22 Creed with me as well so I lined up for the shot. 405 yards with a 77 TMK. She went maybe 5 yards and piled up.

Finally doubled up side by side with the girlfriend on our 5th season together. She got a hammer of a doe and I followed up on a yearling that hung around a bit too long after her shot.

Last night as I was walking to my tree stand, I spotted this buck bedded 700 yards away in an area where he could overlook the whole property. He was just 100 yards from my tree stand so I had to make a huge loop around him and eventually snuck up into my stand undetected. Just before dark he came right into me and offered a 20 yard shot. I originally thought that I botched the shot so with very little sleep last night me and a buddy went looking for him this morning and ended up finding him in about 10 minutes.

Not an epic hunt but still a fun day. Temps started -7 and got up to about 11. Second whitetail for the year (last day of season also) hunting some fields my buddies in-laws own. Was driving out to glass an area and noticed this buck bedded against a fence along a windbreak. I didn't stop and kept driving out of sight about another 400yds, then turned around and moved in with the Dodge blind. When I came around the corner he started to stand. By the time I put the truck in park, stepped out, racked a round and leaned over the hood he'd jumped the fence and went about 30yds further into some really tall grass. He stopped and looked over, grass covering the bottom 2/3 of his body. He was around 100yds, put the crosshairs estimated in the lower 1/3. He went 50yds, wobbled and tipped over. I'll take it for a last day buck.

WNC buck. Spotted him way up on a ridge above me and never had a clear shot. Kept trailing him for a while and he ended up turning and walked right to me. Shot him at 10yds with my muzzleloader. Hole in his chest was the exit hole after deflecting off offside shoulder and out his chest

Harvested a 2 1/2 year old 8 point on the second week of KY firearm season on a small 2 acre wooded lot behind our house. I was using a can bleat, and he walked up behind my tree stand around 7 AM on a Sunday morning. I believe it is the same deer on trail cam in the first picture. The second trail cam pic was right before I took my shot.

I used a 6.5 CM with 129 grain SST, hit double lung and heart.

My dad, who does not hunt, was visiting and helped me gut and hang the deer in our shed. My wife brought our young boy outside to see the deer and get some goofy grip and grin pics. After we got the buck hung, I took my dad to the gun range to do some shooting together.

Pretty work dude

My 2025 Whitetail. Found this buck bedded down at 80 yards, and he just wouldn’t get up. Ended up shooting him in the neck in his bed, and when we got to him his right rear leg was shattered and sticking out thru the hide. Upon quartering him, the part sticking out of the hide was a giant abscess surrounded by broken bones. His body was also pretty skinny.

Act of mercy right there...
