Another 1,000 mile trip in the booksHopefully this buck isn't dead and makes it past the close of gun season there tomorrow. I hope to poke a good one with an arrow. Last pic of him was 10/22 at 0515

More gooduns, I just need one to slip up.

Good deer

Hope you seal the deal. Nice buck

I hope you let the air out of one. What's the deal with the black lower legs? Time spent in a low area?

There's a wet spot with mud that'll get some water once it rains because that's the ony pic of him like that so he obviously went through there

Never hunted the area so, I'm gonna hunt a week or so in the rut during November and then back again in December to hunt the "starvation" phase I call it but, it's really just bucks hitting bait trying to gain wait for winter. I'm sitting both time frames even if I kill one in November. I need to select a best time IMO for a hunt because 7 trips a year is just silly. I want a cam run or two and a designated hunt each year.
Everything's dependent on snow levels since I've never hunted there and have no clue which roads may get plowed. Gonna suck if I can't hunt my spots lol
