A Good Morning in the VA Woods

[tucker301]

I got this one about 10 minutes after I got to the stand.



Called my buddy up and told him that I got one. Needed help, but no hurry. Take your time and hunt.
He said he'd just rattled up a nice buck, but the deer saw him before he saw the deer and he slipped away.

30 minutes later, he called me and said that he managed to move around in front of the buck and rattled him in again.
This time, he didn't get away.

I think that deer on the left is having issues with some kinda growth from his backside? Is that normal on the right coast for horns on both ends or was it just the water he had been drinking? BTW both were really nice deer and congrats to ya both!

That's the rack from the one my buddy got last Saturday..... from my favorite stand. It was a slightly smaller nine point.

Way to go,Tucker. Those are some nice looking bucks. I guess you could say that you had a pretty good day! Bow kills, I assume?..Mike

Muzzleloaders.
We went back out this morning and I got this little 6 pointer.
He was about 100 yards from where my buddy got his on Saturday.
He also saw two more bucks chasing does about a 1/2 mile from me, but he couldn't get a shot.

This one didn't even twitch when the 250 XTP drilled his neck and cut through his vitals. Dropped in his tracks.

Well done. He is a nice little six. Should be a tasty little bugger..

[tucker301]

Thanks, man.
It's been a good year. I've got one more buck tag, and then I'll have to shoot some slicks. But duck season is back in this Saturday, so I'm about done with the deer anyway.

Nice work Tuck!

I am done here in Cali, only have an archery hunt on the farms in NoDak left.

Did get this dinker here though:

Very nice, sir!
Looks like he may be headed to the taxidermist.

I thought about getting mine mounted, but I've taken bigger ones and not done them either.
