I had a string of 15 years seeing nice bucks and never being able to close the deal.Seems like every year someone I know would take a good buck I was hunting and lots of times, within a couple hundred yards of where I was set up. It used to really tick me off!Not that they got a good deer but that I hadn't been able to figure them out. hen back in 2010 I closed the deal on a 14 point that scored 167! Since then it hasn't bothered me a bit who killed what where.I actually have not shat another buck since then, and I'm fine with that! If mister big comes to me I'll take him if I can but that urge to get the monster is gone. I'm perfectly happy putting meat in the freezer. Wade

I shot my first 2 deer with hpr last year. 300wm thru one shoulder each, completely ruined front half of both deer. Same as you, all I heard is shoulder shot. No way again. Head, neck, lung/liver way back if I can help it from now on. Head and neck are terrible low percentage shots, double lung will kill them every time. And leave you a blood trail! Wade

I left Cross Plains as a passenger on a drive to the west side of Evansville and back today.We got home at dark. I didn't even get out of the truck!Not driving, I was free to look hard and I did. I feel like I looked over 100,000 acres of cut beans and corn and grass and saw nothing until 4:30 just south of Scottsburg.The only other deer I saw was a yearling at the fence in big Oaks right at dark! So much for them moving during the day! Wade

It's such a pity I have to eat deer tenderloin twice this weekend. I feel so bad for you, I think I'll just go vegan! Wade

I'm in Ripley County.I bumped a yearling on the way in at daylight.Stayed on the ground till 9 then scouted the area. A nice buck had been there before daylight.Followed that out and ran into my brother. He had seen the buck with two does.I then get in my "dead" ash stand.Nothing. Down at 11:30 and back to the house where my brother showed up with a yearling he caught bedded down by moms driveway.At least it's made out of meat! Wade

Two years ago I was going up the road to moms. I happened to look over at a one-acre patch of woods on my neighbor's property as I do during season. This was in gun season. In that one acre woods, with one side to the road, one side to grass and two sides picked corn, there stood 5 does.Every time I go by there now I look. In that season I saw them on 7 different days standing on that patch of woods.That's how they survive gun season! Wade

My brother works in Big Oaks. Late spring or early summer he told me it had moved on and has been sighted across the river in Kentucky.I've not heard any different. Wade

I don't get out much so never know what's going on on the river.It's November and that's when they say the sauger start.So anybody know what's going on on the river? Or,,,, does anyone know how to find out what's going on? I'm particularly interested in any info anywhere close to Marklin dam. Thanks,
Wade

It takes quite a bit to spoil that meat as long as it hasn't been penetrated in that spot. Backstraps and the quarters should be fine as long as not shot up and bloody.I wouldn't even consider opening up the chest cavity.Just pull what you can save then rub the meat down with vinegar before putting it into cold storage. Rinse the vinegar off and give it the smell test.I'd bet there is more good meat there than you think! Wade

And that guys is why we’re seeing better deer if we are Guys are eating on “the” deer now don’t need to shoot a buck every year and as the hunting population matures we all wait on that special buck don’t need to get one every year like we used to I’m that way to . My last was 2010 unless you count the doe that magically grew 3 1/4 in antlers lol Me too Dale! My last buck kill was 2010! Maybe we got some good ones growing between us now! I grunted in a 167 the second day of season as I had a sawing job to do on opening day. Still looking for a good buck to come by but fighting this lung cancer is keeping me out of the woods a lot! Wondering how you been doing. You OK? Later, Wade
