Tagged out for bucks anyways.

On the 15th I was getting a itchy finger so I took my #5 on the list with the cornaflauge Scorpyd Deathstalker. Had 3 if these tall basket racks with heavy mass and said early on I would take one if the opportunity came along.

With one hanging it was all out effort to get wife one. She had a couple encounters but noting in her 40yd range. On nights she couldn't go I went out on "recon missions". Hoping not for too cold of a winter in the house, I told her up front if #3 or better came by I wasn't going to pass........ ever get that look, yeah.

On the 28th #3 comes to the radish patch 43yds out. Debated to self for 4-5 milliseconds on the consequences before letting the Katana loose.

Now after 48yrs I'm going into gun season with only doe tags, ugh. :cry:

As you get further up north here in MN, the bucks are big bodied but they have little "Easter Basket" racks. I've taken 8 pointers that would barely fit a grapefruit in them. Down in the more agricultural southern part of the state, there are some real monster racks but those pesky bow hunters get them. ;) The good news is that I'm not a trophy hunter.

Congrats!

We had a bunch of doe tags, also. But even during the “any deer” season, we didn’t end up with a single “wall worthy” hat rack. 7 deer total for 4 hunters and a freezer full of venison. My daughter-in-law shot her first two deer, and my daughter shot her first, which would have made it a successful season if just that happened!
