TN velvet hunt Aug 25-27

[Andy S.]

Congrats hunter0925, that's what it's all about. I hope he's still on cloud nine all weekend. Making memories, y'all did great! Thanks for sharing.

Was a definite success. Nothing for me but I was able to get my son on one and he is on cloud 9. He had winded us and was nervous but he 10 ringed him (exit in pic is back slightly but still rear lungs) and the deer ran 5 yards, stood and then fell over dead. He did awesome and I couldn't be more proud. Just a little 8 but a memory that will last a lifetime.

Awesome! Congratulations to you both!

Wow! No shots offered but what a rush. 2 does running above me followed by 6 bucks. 3 of them shooters. Closest they got was about 75 yards but dang that awesome!!!!

Heck yea brother, I know you're more excited and you didn't even shoot.

2 small bucks just came in exactly how their supposed to lol. Wish the big boys would have!

 

[Rakkin6]

You guys are better men than me. I don't enjoy getting swamp ass 100 feet from my truck when I am walking in.

Something a little different I've noticed this year vs previous, is that some of the buck kill pictures I've seen appear they still had bulbous antler tips.

You are 100% correct there! He had to stand to see out of the blind for at least 5 minutes before he could get a shot and you could hear his little legs shaking. That alone makes it all worth it.

Killed this nice 8 Fri. Evening. I passed four other wider bucks, just not as good on tine length. Killed him at 7 pm. Fri evening. Oddly, ever buck l seen was coming from beans headed into timber. This one was slap full of beans. Madison county

Maybe I'm a puss but I don't want velvet that bad

 

[backyardtndeer]

Congratulations to tickweed, very nice. Congratulations to hunter0925's son too, great to see kids getting deer especially a nice velvet buck.

I have been cooking a shoulder and doing some work around the house today, and the humidity here is freaking miserable. The gnats, deer flies, and mosquitoes in the yard are also really bad today. I really need to take a can of wasp spray with me and check a stand and the one camera I have out, but just not feeling it.

Congratulations to the lucky hunters! Tougher than me!
