I know it's early, but where are all the archery whitetail hero shots? Let's see 'em.

Be at least a week before I start.

Ain’t been out yet, maybe I’ll set a marginal stand maybe not , have the first 20 days of November off

Well i try to jab at them as much as i dare in low impact stands as soon as the conditions allow. Season goes by and i don't want to feel like im missing it, of course being careful to keep intrusion low. Was fortunate last Saturday evening to take advantage of the early October cold front. This guy was the biggest in the area from my scouting. Feel very fortunate.

He wasnt my biggest rack but had 25lbs on the heaviest ive gotten.

Dandy buck but I encounter more mature bucks if I wait , years ago I had to be out there and the old man said one day you’ll hunt smarter and kill all you want but will kill bigger deer , ha ha dad was right again lol

I've shot a button buck and a doe with my BlackOut Faze. Going tonight. I've been on doe patrol and plan to yet tonight but gonna be switching to chasing bucks here soon at my other stand.

That is very true. I've never gotten a chance on anything but a decent 2.5yo until end of October before. But i am working hard on my properties to improve on that. I do not hunt hard until the time comes but i will take advantage of the cold front conditions we just had. I also like to get a doe early and was fortunate to seal deal at first light on opening day without intruding much. Also a new one for me. Now i fish.

All deer are trophy’s, I may be a little lazy in my older age lol, last weekend it was chilly but the weekend plus Monday was our youth season, I let the kids hunt , the rest of the week it was upper 70 to low 80 ‘s fish time

The good part of the season just about here. Been out a couple times just to get out.

Got this doe this morning all good meat here

That’s a farmed buck. He has a tag in his ear. JK. Nice buck.

That a good looking buck. Congrat.

Great looking buck, congrats. My deer seem to show when I’m not there, lol. I’ve got one I’d like to take and have about 3 others that need taken. My son has one that he’s after and one that needs taken. And just tonight, another hunter out there had a heck of a buck show up on camera that we’ve NEVER seen before and he’s a heck of a buck. Mines 150’s or so and the other two should hit 160’s.
So far we’ve taken 3 does and the one 10pt my DIL shot for her first archery buck and it scored 133” gross and 131 2/8 Net…so she shot a P&Y for her first archery deer!
We aren’t elitist, we just have the genetics and land to manage deer and see what the bucks can grow into. Trust me I’ve been on properties before where a 110” buck was talk of the property.

Sat out today very windy lots of leaves still need to drop moving to a feed plot area tomorrow Al least I can see them coming there.

I have only arrowed one WT in my >50 years of hunting and only killed 2 with a gun. I'm hoping to go for a WT this year. I have arrowed dozens of mules.

Nice buck, Claypool. Congratulations.

Got a small eight last week and a doe this evening. Hoping a big one will move in when the rut starts in a couple weeks. Nothing real big on camera yet this year.

How big is as small 8 in your neck of the woods? I would love to hunt some of the small 8s i see folks shooting in other states.

nice deer guys, I haven't been out yet.
