I’m still hanging in. Does are filtering out of the CRP. Buddy saw a huge shooter 8 we have had on cam dogging a doe. About 45 mins left. Hope someone slings an arrow!

I'm still in lockdown mode. 2 does have been almost under me with no cover between us for nearly an hour. Wish I could crack open this white Monster or these nutty buddys

JT your definitely due buddy! Hard to kill a 160 when your dragging a 140! Hard passes nevertheless!

 

[Tideup]

I just passed on a nice 3 year old 8 about 16 wide . He needs another year or two.

Giant read the script but jumped out of thicket on down wind side of Jake at 50 .. decided real quick no thanks and jogged to 70 we both watched 160 inches run out of our life ?

Been there done that Flats... still got the T-shirt. It's a little snug now, but I've still got it.

20 mins or so left. 1st time since I sat down I'm alone. Let's see if big boy shows up...or even medium boy with a hole in his shoulder. I'm fine with him ?

That's why I come to illinois and usually eat tag soup but when u see one it's worth the price of admission !!! Majestic

 

[flatsmaster]

Getting dark maybe 5 for these eyes

 

[rosco772001]

[Jim Thompson]

Can't see anymore deer, but can hear the in the corn and in the drain. Gotta happen quick if at all.

Thats why we do it flats, bow in hand is so fantastic! I seriously dread the day my old butt can’t do it any longer... Soak it up people!

 

[Jim Thompson]

Calling it. Been a heckuva day in the woods. Gonna have to sit a few until some of these deer clear out.

Nite folks

Yep that's it. A hair forward. Still can't figure out why the arrow broke off 3" from the head.

Perhaps the two of you will meet again. Both of you are wiser. Perhaps a different outcome next time. Good luck ?

One of the ethics I was taught as a young hunter was if you wounded a animal was to do everything possible to retrieve that animal. If it came to someone else's property line you were to leave your weapon at the property line and trail/retrieve the animal.

Not allowing someone to retrieve a animal, or even having to ask thier permission is just ludicrous.
