Waited a couple hours before I went back. He was quartering away so I had to shoot him back and wasn't sure if I was going to get an exit. I was right, hardly any blood at all but where I last saw him was where he died. So wasn't a hard find. Not my biggest but by far the widest and one of my most m...

Ga 50° 6.5G Last day of pew pew season. Hunting same deer I've been after since October. He hasn't been on cam since last Monday but typically has been a once a week type rotation. Really hoping to seal the deal tonight to keep me from freezing my nuts off the next 2 weeks during extended arch...

If I'm hunting meat then food plot, if I'm hunting a buck then I'll hunt wherever he's showing up most of the time. All of it is centered around food sources. ...

Ga 34° 6.5G It's been a grind this yr at the farm. Spending 3 weeks of November in KS definitely hurt my chances of killing the buck I'm after but it's not over and I'm not giving up. I'd just really like to get him dead so I can start trapping some of these damn yotes. Good luck fellas ...

I try to rake or use my battery blower and keep a decent trail cleaned out. Get it cleaned out good before season and isn't too hard to keep up during the year. It's a small task compared to everything else I/we do and can completely change the dynamics of a hunt. ...
