After yesterday Dutch I feel it’s time to cut the strings and let him loose. It's tough letting go, but you must..

That's a GREAT deer! Congratulations. I was gonna make a comment about hunting in sox and sandals, but I'll refrain. Again, well done!

Another guy that hunts with us killed a dandy today. He is the same age as buzz and myself and it’s the biggest buck he has killed. All my years of teaching is finally paying off. I’m proud of these kids

Got in "the spot" at 6:00am this morning. Funniest thing...as I was driving up to road to the gate I saw something in the roads right side "normal" track. I thought it was a small rock that had rolled into the path. Not wanting to hit it and cause a flat (I was creeping up this rutted gravel road) I went to the left. The next thing I knew there was a screech-owl flying in front of me!!! The stuff you see when you get out there is amazing. (Screech owl disguised as a rock!!) So, 7:15 comes and a herd of 8 doe come across the large field. I decided to watch this large field in the early am as I knew deer would be coming in to bed. Well, sure enough not 2 minutes later 3 buck came right along the doe's paths. This one that I got with the broken tine. To bad as he was a really nice 8pt before the horn break. But...that's how it goes!! There were actually 3 buck's following the herd of doe. This one, a smaller "Y" 4pt, and a spike. All of the deer were slightly "nervous" and I had many eyes looking in all directions for danger. But, since I was a bit of distance away, they didn't see my cart as a threat. The shot was about 150-160yds from where I was sitting. I was hunting with my Marlin 45-70 XLR (long barrel) using my hand loaded (to the max) Hornady 325gr. "gummy tip" bullets. That rifle is wicked accurate. I knew I had to hold a bit high from the 100 yard zero (a little range time helped me do that "math") and BOOM!! Then the work started!! Here's the heart after the 325gr sailed through it and out the other side!!

Heading out for the afternoon hunt. Man, this has been a depressing season, except for when the girls got deer in the farm country.
Actually looking forward to going home. 😡

Maybe you just need to see some new country Dutch.I couldn't hunt the same places year after year and day after day.I hunted less this year than any other year so I'm not burned out from actually hunting.Every place I hunted this year was new or somewhat new so it was more fun.
