Crabby

Heading down to hunt sika last week I saw a buck that I had seen on my trailcam the last two years and had nicknamed "Crabby" for his crabclawed front tines....Well I videoed him while checking my cam...at mid day with athe big 6 and a smaller 8.....I never thought I would shoot him at a my new spot just under a mile away just a week later!!!

10/20

Randy needed a buck....

I needed my 2 antlerless deer to put me back on a buck tag for the rut...

That was the game plan although it seemed a dificult task...especially the doe part as I had been trying like mad to kill one and had not drawn blood on anything but my finger.........

Well it wasnt any of the bucks we had been seeing but a decent 8 point came in to our view within minutes of my 2nd rattling sequence...Randy immediately went in to an unbreakable zone and put an arrow straight throught the heart of this guy at 25 yards...





as soon as the kill was made I was ready to take on my task.....but the deer semmed to just shut down.....I made a call to Jeff and asked if I could shoot a doe on our evening set to which he replied hed rather not as the does are buck bait...........I understood but I was bummed.........

but as I hung up the phone all hell broke loose........I had 2 does on the ground in 5 minutes!!!

Hey Hinky

This is why Im taking you to the Redskin spot in the morning

Slick Tricks are Sharp as a !#$@#$%%^

Ouch!!!

I dont know what hurts worse.....Missing a Doe in front of my Daughter Madi after 2 straight slam dunks Ive had with her b4 or cutting a 2 inch gash in my finger letting the bow down while attempting a 2nd shot....Rookie mistake after 22 years in the deer woods....





This is the benefit of having a Firefighter Buddy....Thanx Doug for waiting with me for 4 hours at the emergency room!!!

Scenes from Chebs hunt!!!

Cheb Got it Done!!!

CHEB SMOKED HIS FIRST BUCK WITH A BOW!!! With Julie behind the camera!!! It does not get better than that!!! Cheb tells me about this freeky browed 9 point that he was watching at a new spot....tells me that after all these bucks hes been passing on for the last three years that this was going to be "the one".....he was right...but the sucker broke his crazy extra tine off!!!

Congrats Cheb and Julie!!! The footage is incredible!!!





Chris and Randy

Pilchard smoked a dinker as well......with Jason behind the Camera

I have always wanted to say that about my Giant buck shooting buddy from the shore....a"a dinker" !!! hehehe

The coolest part is that the little girl was decoyed in on a rye plot!!! They say firenocks in the dim light are fantastic!!!

Sometimes........................

Ya just have 2 chuck a Mt. Dew at a freaky bedded buck!!!

Did it work?.......With all "dew" respect to Mt. Dew.....Jeff did throw the entire contents of his backpack at the bedded deer(including 1 limbsaw, 1 treestep, and 2 Recees PB Cups) b4 the dew






Shootin Slicks and Sunshine Store!!!

Breakfast after some arrow flingin is fun!!!

Jeff got one of his mandatory critters out of the way on the morning after Randy filmed CJ doing the same on a piece of Public Land!!!




OK.....This shot might not have turned out as awesome as I had envisioned it.....but I know the value of my efforts did not go unnoticed by my compadres who got a good laugh watching me try to set it up....so here it is dammit!!!






Hinky has a Visitor

This guy showed up at "The Outback".....Randy really cant contain himself as this would be his best..........I want to video the hunt....I just dont know about the walk......???......but I have heard about some live entertainment from this stand that cannot be bought!!!
