I used to work in the arhcery department at sportsmans warehouse and there are some people that do not know as much as they should. If you do go ask for Cody or Nate and they will set you up properly.

Well I went up Thursday night for the weekend to scout and hunt and do some volunteer work. Driving in thursday night I saw a couple of decent bucks run across the road then an absolute monster ran across. First impression was a 180 class buck! I wake up Friday morning and go to an area where I always find deer. I setup to glass and instantly find some does and fawns. Glass for about an hour and find 5 bucks feeding up on a distant hill. Out of the 5 bucks 2 were 4 points and the rest were small forks. After reviewing the area I realize that the bucks are on private property. Glass til about 10 and decide to head back to camp and hang out. Saw a total of 23 deer in the morning. Went back out that afternoon and glassed up a spike and doe but decided to not even stalk them. So day 1 was over with 25 deer seen and 6 being bucks. Saturday I woke up at 7 and head up to the AES water project. Was able to meet up with some familiar faces and was able to meet some new ones. This morning I was up and ready to go well before first light. While driving to an area I see 3 sets of eyes. Come to find out that it was 3 bedded bucks. Parked the truck and waited for light. While waiting for light the bucks got up and walked away but 3 more bucks walk by while it is to dark to see the pins still. Watch where they go and start to trail them. While walking behind them I find a shed to the big buck I saw Thursday night. While following the bucks I see them in a field about 150 yards away and there are 8 of them now and the big buck is with them. He is bigger than I thought now. I start to belly crawl to try to close the distance and they are spooked by a buddy on the other side of the field. So they stalk was done and the bucks went up the hill and I did not want to push them anymore. So that is my first weekend of the hunt so far and I plan to have him on the ground this next week Here is the As It Lay pic and several others. The shed scores right at 76 1/2 and with a matching side and a 27 inch spread he would be a 180 buck!

Sounds like a rough weekend. I really hate it when someone comes and camps right next to you. There is plenty of other camp spots in the woods. There is no need for the generator going 24/7. I can understand a few hours to charge the battery but that is about it. As for the quads I am not a fan of quads. And the campfire not being out is the last straw. I have put out alot of fires that other campers have not put out and it pisses me off every time because they think that it will not start a forest fire! Sorry to hear about your weekend and hopefully you will have a better one the next time you go up!

Nice pictures Riley!! This is Christian we talked quite a bit at the camp last year. Maybe I will be down there and I can help you get your fourth deer in 4 years!!!

Heading out right now! Good luck guys and may some big bucks go down this weekend!

That is a great bull for sure. On monstermuleys they said it scored 407. that bull has more mass then he knows what to do with.

What is sad is you actually look like that Jim

What is this forum becoming giving Jim power like that

Awesome buck!!! I need to make it over to Cali for a blacktail hunt one of these days.

My dad has the Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in .25-06 and he has been shooting 100 grain nosler ballistic tips for the past 8 years and they group the best for him. The winchesters did a decent job out to 200 yards but he could not get the groupings he wanted at 300.

The mount turned out awesome man!!! Just need to top that this year now

these aren't trail cam photos!!! Could be in your unit though He also doesn't use just a little point-n-shoot camera either..... and it shows!! Yeah those are some fantastic photos there. I have an idea of which unit but will not say what I think it is It's not where you are thinking ...... It even surprised me! How do you know what I am thinking when I don't even know? I DO know you are thinking LOW on your scores! Just trying to stay conservative

The first buck I am putting right at the 175 mark he has some good front forks and the second buck I am gonna say right around 190 with a 175 typical frame!!!

Tell your buddy good luck and to make sure he gets them before I do because I know right where he is actually because I found his trail cam!!!

Welcome aboard now you can get some black mail on your husband

Nice pics David. That looked like a decent buck in the video. Good luck on the rest of your scouting and your hunt!!!

Have to get an archery deer tag on top of your rifle tag and if you harvest a deer with your bow you cannot get one with your rifle! Good Luck

Picture was taken from 580 yards

Why do you think I always brought my tent and didn't stay in the trailer with all of ya. So I wouldn't have to deal with that kinda stuff

Here is the proof. This is through my 15x swaros before I got the spotter and digiscope attatchment. (Can anyone not find the deer through swaro glass?)
