Unbeknowst to most, I go to a mens Bible study every morning at 5:30. One of the guys this morning, asked me if I was a meat hunter or trophy hunter. I replied mostly just a hunter but I would kill a big buck if I saw one.

Here is where it gets good.

He pulls out a picture his wife took yesterday afternoon behind their barn, (they have 73-acres). The buck appeared to be a ten with about a 22-inch spread and quite long tines for this time of year.

He said, "If you want, you can come hunt with a bow. We don't allow any hunting but I guess it would be alright if you just bow hunted."

I spect I might just do that. hard to judge one in velvet but I would guess this deer would be in the 140's. That is pretty good for our part of the sate.
 
Might be a bit of a drive but anyone is welcome, even women who come by mistake. 6:25 on Monday, 7:25 every other day but we usually start gathering about 6. 206 S. College Street.
 
good to hear that some people still want to hear the gospel and gather together to study Gods word.If it were me in your shoes I would not hesitate to take up that offer.got any pics?

Jump on that BW 73 acres is a good sized area may be an awesome spot or spots. What food source had pulled the buck behind the barn? Would be sweet to kill a biggun with a bow.
 
I don't know what food source, probably his garden. he has goats so I don't figure there is all that much browse. he says he sees deer crossing behind the barn all the time. Said it was about 25-30-yards from the barn loft to where they walk.

I'll see what he is seeing come late Sept. I have more land now than I can hunt but for a big buck, I might put in a little effort. I don't think he is bigger than a couple I have but he is pretty nice. Hard to tell for sure when they are in velvet.

Doe Snot!
 
:D :D

I hope you kill him BW!

Doe Snot- sounds like a new scent gimmick we might could make a small fortune with... I know somebody will buy it... ;)
 
I would almost bet it is more effective in attracting deer than a sex-based scent. Deer do a heck of lot more communicating with their nasal areas than they do with their not so nasal areas.
 
how long has that barn been there they tend to wander around old home steads or barns that have thickets close by don't know attracts them to that seen a lot of deer that do that. he must be comfortable being there.you can find big bucks in the least likely areas that you would not even think to hunt.
