rocky

Here goes a neck and body shot pic.

This is Nebraska not kansas. In about five years of hunting here he is one of the better ones. That deer probably goes over 300 pounds on the hoof so looks are deceiving.

Sat from dark to dark today (Tcooks fault) . Lots of deer in the a.m. And then a big lull from 11-3. One potential shooter, a 10 point with a broken G3. Lots of little bucks that seemed as frustrated as I am. Tomorrows probably my last shot.

I picked last week for my rutcation in Kansas and scored on my third sit. I drive out early to set up stands for Mrs rocky so when she gets here she is ready to hunt since her time off of work is limited. My wife was flying in this week to hunt kansas with me but I was tagged out and I decided to buy a Nebraska tag since I will be here anyway. Now she is also tagged out in Kansas on her fourth sit (she sleeps with the guide😉) and she decided not to buy a Nebraska tag. I am keeping her busy driving the roads looking for deer and seeing where others trucks are park (Intel for next year.)👍

Thank goodness the deer started to finally move tonight. Please send some positive (tag filling) thoughts my way. 😆 I will keep you guys posted.

I am in the process of fine tuning my stands in Nebraska right now. Hopefully I can have the same success. Congrats!

I have to wait until I get home to post pics, that way I can photoshop larger antlers on them.😉

I use a bee smoker and a cooler. I put my hunting clothes in the cooler and leave the lid slightly cracked. I fill the bee smoker with dry leaves and little sticks then light it up. I use the little drain hole on the bottom of the cooler to fill it up with smoke. Once I have the cooler saturated with smoke I close the lid and drain plug. Let it sit for how ever long you want to. Yes it does work. Just don't tell anyone else about one of my little secrets!👍

Mrs. Rocky and I are both tagged out in Kansas and now I am hunting in Nebraska. The temp this morning was 1 degree. ❄️ Rut activity slow. A few small bucks chasing and I did see one mount a doe. Good luck guys.

You have some skills sir, nice catch.

Not once yet this year but that is about to change this week.

Full body that sucker, congrats.

Yea those old eyes start to play tricks on us sometimes. Great buck and story thanks for sharing.

Great buck there, congrats. Everyday is a gift even when we are challenged. Looks like it was a great day from the pics that you posted. Stay strong and stay positive my friend.

Thanks for sharing awesome buck there.
