Went out again this afternoon. Cold with virtually no wind. Nothing stirring in Eastern Franklin county tonite.
Was sitting on a spot where trail cam has seen does fairly frequently in the last month but not tonite. |

My neighbor and I took the oppurtunity for a "flas hunt" at McClure CA sunday morn between 8:00 am and 10:30, I spooked two deer on the way out and never saw them but those grounds did look cool... Heading back to Mussel Forks for next weekend for antlerless season.... need a fat doe for burger..
Got the eight pointer from Thomas Farms sunday after hunt and they didn't fail to amaze me on their quality of packaging and the bologna is to die for!!!!

Very nice, stolivar.
My buddies and I all came up short this year. We hunt in Iron County, not far from Tom Sauk mountain. Unfortunately our property borders a ding-bat who lets his dogs chase deer, and of course a dog has no understanding of a property line. Those dogs have the deer in the area so hunkered down that they don't ever move during the day. The only deer we saw was when the stupid dogs were running on our property and flushed out a couple of does... does that we had been walking over and around all day, and they stayed concealed and un-shot Sunday morning was 10 degrees. Our cabin was 38 degrees, which made for a slow start that morning. I am getting too old to sleep in a 38 degree cabin... |

stolivar, congratulations on a nice buck.
I know we have all heard these stories before but the day after buck season there was one heck of a big buck about 100 yards south of my barn. I never got a good count on his rack as he moved behind some cover. Makes me believe the bucks do carry calendars, like I've heard some claim. btmj, I know what you mean about sleeping in the cold. I remember the days I used to roll out a bed roll on the ground and sleep, I believe them days are behind me now.

Great buck, Stolivar! Those additional brow tines give it character.
Looks like he's got a good amount of gray on his face. Got any idea how old he was?

Yep, just type in "2013 Deer Harvest Map" in the search bar and it will bring up a map that will tell you all the totals for the state. You can hover over every county and it will tell you how many antlered, antlerless and button bucks were harvested in that county.

I've been killing a deer every 3 or 4 days and processing but put that on hold for a few days. At single digit temps, the carcass will freeze solid in one night making processing difficult. Maybe whack another before the current season ends to work up next week.
