A few from last weekend..

Very nice! You must have had a ton of guys there to help you position that pig on the log! Lol.

Stuck this booger from my ground blind last weekend. He was on two doe, but stopped long enough for me to draw on him.

That is one gnarly looking son of a gun right there.

[Burnt Stag]

Took this old boy about 10 days ago. Little late posting it , but didn't realize this sub-forum was here until a little bit ago.
Burnt Stag.

The G5 Montec broadhead did a fine job.

By the time I was done taking the meat off there was a full cooler of meat to prep for the freezer.
I used my old school original Spyderco Manix for that task and had my Benchmade 300sn when I field dressed him.

That looks like an extremely old buck. Nice shot placement

 

[Burnt Stag]

Thanks , even with that shot and him having no idea I was there , he ran nearly a 100yrds before dropping.
My cousin joked that he was so old he couldn't see or smell anymore and that's the reason I got him.
I said well , he came in with a cane and a seeing eye dog....lol
All joking aside , I had 5 decent bucks around me that evening. One dandy 8pt never gave me a shot. It was well within range but always in brush and would have been a risky shot. No sense wounding one. They were very responsive to rattling. I rattled to try and get the bigger 8pt to come back and this old boy came from the other direction. Walked right up to my doe wick to have a little smell and gave me the perfect shot. When I first noticed him , he was already wide open to me on his approach from my left. I didn't dare stand up. I am sure I looked like a turd hanging on the side of the tree.
I stayed still and when he stopped I was able to draw my bow while seated. The lone wolf climber I use leaves nothing in front to hit the bow. Drawing a 70lb bow while seated feels more like a 100lb bow....lol

Someday I'm going to try a hunt from a treestand. I've never done that. It's all big country here, so I spend a lot of time behind the glasses and then put a sneak on if you can keep on one until he's bedded. I took this buck last week while we were glassing for muledeer bucks. Seemed an unlikely spot for whitetail, but there he was and I had a tag in my pocket. He made me work for it though, it's steeper than you can get a feel for in the picture.

Thanksgiving Day squirrel hunt. Got 5 with the Kimber Hunter and first use of a Case 3 Finn Hunter that I got last year and had never used until now.

WI Buck.

Friend of mine shot him. I had no love this year in MN or WI, nine days in the field between the two states and I didn't see any shooters. I did get to use my Rat Trail on this buck, drag him up a ravine, and load him in a truck for my buddy so I was able to partake in the after shot actions anyway.

Had a group of 23 turkeys come within 15 yards.

Possum.
