Why would you take more than the limit of fish just to drop them back in the water before you leave? Is catch and release not legal anymore? Catch and release is perfectly legal. But, and I know this may be hard to believe, some guys put more than the daily limits in their live wells. We're just going to have to agree to disagree on the topic. My stance is, CO's have a tough job. And I'm not about to tell them how to do it. |

I can’t hunt today with church this morning and a thanksgiving dinner this afternoon. That being said, my buddy who owns a piece that butts up to mine has had 17 does in range so far this morning. He killed a doe yesterday so he’s waiting on a buck. I was within 120 yards of a 140” 10 point yesterday, but he was bedded in the field. By the time I snuck closer to where he was, he took off with a doe. I’ll be back out tomorrow morning. Sounds like that was a fun hunt anyhow! Good luck to you! |

Which allows too much time for violators to get rid of evidence. While I don't always agree with the process, they have a tough job to do. Not to beat this already dying horse, but if the fish don’t make it to the boat ramp, there is no violation. Check the hunters at their vehicles and check them again when they’re done. The officer was out there checking licenses, not dead animals. So you're aloud to posses over limits on the water but, not at the boat ramp? Interesting. Maybe It's that logic that has them checking boats on the water. |

Unless you’re checking fish size and limits Which can be checked upon your return to the boat ramp…… Which allows too much time for violators to get rid of evidence. While I don't always agree with the process, they have a tough job to do. |

I understand the frustration. However, they have a job to do. People are hunting the property that they are expected to patrol and inspect. It's their job to play referee out there. That's every bit as part of public land hunting as other hunters moving through. But, not only do the CO's have the right to check on hunters at their stands, they have an obligation.
By all means, file a complaint with his supervisor. But, what you feel is a complaint, his superior will probably view it as compliment of his subordinate doing his job and doing it well.
I'm sorry he felt like his hunt was disturbed.

Congratulations everyone! Cheers to a great day for hunters all over 🍻.
I know some didn't connect today or had little activity. Hopefully it'll pick up for you all soon!
As for the big buck contest I'm in with some buddies, 6 of us tagged out during archery and 4 filled tags this morning. We have one more guy to go.
Out of this same group of guys, only 4 got bucks last year and 129" buck won. So far, I don't think we have any scored under 130". I haven't had mine scored yet but, I think it'll go 130".
I scored one this morning for one of the other guys and it was a whopping 164 1/4".
I'm definitely anxious to see what tomorrow brings on this forum!
Good luck everyone! Hunt safe and God bless!!!

Great shot placement! Congratulations to the young hunter! Kudos to you for not forcing it on her and, when she was ready, getting her out!

Shot my target buck at 6:35 am cst this morning. He was chasing a doe and I stopped him with a whistle, all I could see of him was his head and neck so he got a 25-06 in the neck and fell right over. As I’m climbing down another 10 point is watching me. This one is a 12 point with extra eye guards.  Outstanding! Gorgeous deer! |

I ended up seeing 6 deer total this morning with no visible antlers on any of them. The first one to come by was a big doe. I grunted and she stopped right in an opening and the 30-06 laid her out. She dressed out at 107 pounds.   Very nice! Congratulations |
