SPEARFISH

How big does a buck need to be for you to qualify it as big? I'm talking about NJ. Does it need to be a 150" or better? Does it need to be a certain weight or age? For me if it gets me excited enough it probable gets shot. I have shot big deer with small antlers and small deer with big antlers.

Those are much better eating than the chickens you found yesterday. I made soup yesterday and it was excellent. Enjoy.

I pulled some camera cards the other day and had a picture of this buck at one of my stands. I decided to sit there Sunday night to try and get a better look. Got set up about 4:00 and settled in. Had a fox come right under me after only 5 minutes. About 10 minutes later a doe strolls in and feeds under and by me for about a half hour. She eventually moved off, and 10 minutes later a yearling 6 pt came in the same area and did the same thing. They were feeding on some type of broad leaf weed right in front of the camera. I don't have any bait out. A couple minutes later I see trees thrashing across the creek from me. It's thick in there and I couldn't tell what was doing it, then this 7 pt made his way over the same way other 2 deer did. I had him for a perfect broadside shot at 25 yds, but I decided to hold off. I haven't seen anything better yet, but there's usually one at this property. I guessing he's a 3 yr old. My buddy told me he saw 2 good ones. This deer came within 5 yds and I snapped a few pictures. He then fed over by the 6 pt for an hour or so and was eventually joined by another smaller 7pt. I saw 4 more does, and another came within 5 yards. Overall it was a great hunt and I never drew back. I must be getting old because he never would have walked a few years ago.

Looks great. Did you pick the shrooms too?

No leaves = dead tree.

Congrats. You need to power wash that one.

Good catch and meal. This is the best time of year. The deer are starting to move more.

Great offer.

Congrats.

Great offer. I would seriously consider, but My vacation time is already planned.

Why stop at 150"?

Much easier. I have an old doe at one of the properties I hunt that I will be just as happy to get. She picked me off a couple of times.

No Sir.

Get well soon.
