Funny how things happen; as I had said earlier today I wasn't seeing deer till after legal shooting time and they were coming out of what I am sure was their bedding area a two +/- acre area in my neighbors corn field right in a corner next to my property. This morning at 7:20 a deer comes out of my woods and goes into the marsh area only giving me a glimpse of him and I guessed him to be a 6 pointer at best. This deer meandered around in the big blue stem grass for about 3 minutes then stepped right out to the spot that my 44 mag is sighted in for. I shot him and he bolted back into the marsh area then stumbled out the other end and expired at the edge of the woods. I was surprised at how big this deer was I would guess field weight at 175 to 185, he had 11 points and his neck was swollen up. After I recovered my deer I noticed that someone had really worked over one of my pine trees real good(probably him). After dressing washing and loading my deer I called the butcher that I have used for the past couple years and found out they were not doing deer this year because of the virus. THANK YOU SCHALL53 for giving me the name of a butcher who took my deer in with no problem. Here's the kicker when I got home my neighbor the farmer was disking that bedding area so it looks like I got it done just in time. Photos to follow. Congrats sir

Get'em guys! I gave up on the 40min hunts after work.to much gas used for such little time. But will hit holiday weekend hard since no family functions going on. I will go sit in my treeless woods and see if anything shows. Its really barren now that 200+ pines are missing. Going to fix that treeless woods this spring to bad they will all be 18 inch’s tall but hey maybe you can lay down and hide behind them

I may go to the west side of our property but have to use a crossbow as houses are in line of fire. Its our old horse pasture and it is starting to get grown up with trees. A buck has been in there beating the snot out of the trees in there. I can't get a pic of him as he seems to be avoiding that part. Plenty of does on screen but no bucks.

All settled in to my stand on a property I've been holding out on. Haven't been here at all since last year. Several nice rubs and a pretty worn down trail 20 yards from stand. Maybe I get another doe tonight?? Who knows,it should be fun anyway!

Went to another property. We are just inside a big dry swamp, with thickets and woods bordering two sides. Up in a tall two man stand.The corn is being picked, coming towards us! Got my boy behind the trigger again for most directions, except to my left. He said I could shoot this way. Lol. Fingers crossed we get action!.

I believe the deer in Clay county have been abducted by aliens.
