KirtFalcon Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Anybody got anything to brag about so far this season? I have seen a few decent 8 - 10 pt bucks in the 15-17" wide category but nothing bigger. I almost shot a spike yesterday for some meat. I am still seeing a lot of hogs. There are a lot of acorns this year and the deer aren't visiting the feeders or the oak/clover as often right now ... My nephew killed a spike opening morning on one of my stands. I didn't even hunt the first few days it was so hot .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettu Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Saw a couple good ones opening weekend but not much since. This is the target this year. Saw him once after dark Sunday evening at about 50 yards but was so late I couldn't see my pins on my bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I killed mine at 6:15 a.m. I was not expecting to see anything that early. He may have been trailing a doe. Or, there were some hog dogs running about 1/2 mile south of me, so he could have been running from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 I heard 3 fairly close shots between 6:30 and 8. I was ready to pop one of the spikes, or one of the really big bucks I know are in the area if I had seen any of them ... I'm really not in a hurry to shoot something. I messed around last year and didn't even shoot a deer. Probably need to thin out some of the does too, but I really don't like shooting them ...
