Congrats, Loup. Looks like a tank
Thanks, first buck I've killed that got bigger when I walked up on him. You can't see in the pic but he has 3 brow tines on one side. I had to pack him out so didnt get a weight but ended up with just over 100 lbs of meat off of him. He's at the taxidermist now, can't wait to get him back. I shot him out of my camp chair. Had planned on glassing all morning to see where the deer were moving since I didn't have much time to scout the day before. 10 minutes after daylight he about ran me over chasing a doe.
I spent half the summer playing with my muzzleloader to get it to shoot long range and ended up with a 140 yard chip shot.

I tagged out for bucks in Louisiana, all public land archery bucks from 2 different NWRs. This is my 5th season hunting and it was a great season. I took two 8-points and a 7-point. The 7-point only had one brow tine.

Nice. Out west I assume? I wouldn't know where to start to hunt out west. Have always hunted where I live.

Awesome! Me and some buddies from Ohio are doing trips every year now. Well, this year I went to Ohio, they’re coming to Louisiana next year, and every third year will be an out of state hunt.

Yep. Wyoming. I’ve built points for years in various states. I made a thread about the elk hunt. It’s a lot of fun and a great challenge to take you hunting skills on the road. That bull will always mean a lot to me, as it was DIY on public land. I did get some great intel from some locals.

This has been the oddest season I've had in quite a long time. I picked up my lease in 2013, and this year, for the first time, I did not make a single hunt out there. Instead, my wife went out and punched a couple of our doe tags while letting a few bucks walk. We have a bunch of bucks on camera that we studied quite a bit. In the past few seasons she has been having a bit of a tough time controlling her trigger finger on younger bucks, so she took it upon herself not to shoot any unless it was a giant, and just watch them instead.
Meanwhile, I had a hunt booked in New Mexico and drew a Texas mule deer tag, so I was content. Tagged out on both of those hunts, so the freezer is packed and meat was given to family.

Thanks, man. I was incredibly fortunate! First time I’ve actually tagged out solely with a bow. It’s never easy!

Tagged out in Area 4, biggest buck of my life on New Years morning....great season for me

For you boys that like to travel, I’ve joined back up with an outfit I was with years ago. Should be a lot of fun. They lease land in Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa. There’s an online reservation system.
That’s very interesting. What’s the cost look like?

I hardly hunted this year and didn't kill a deer, but my 7 year old boy got his first buck. That was better than me killing anything

$2,500. You get turkey, deer, ducks, quail, etc
I feel like you need to make a couple of hunts per year to make it worth it.

I have never tagged out. Most deer I’ve ever taken in one season is 3.
Normally I don’t kill more than 1. Work completely screwed me out of this season and last season, so deer better look the F out next year. I’m killing something.

Congrats, Lonestar. Was that muley a public land draw?
Posted on 1/22/25 at 9:18 am to 257WBY
yeah, on Big Bend State Ranch. I was pretty short on time for that hunt and shot the first mature buck I found, with the bonus that he was close enough to get out to a road. The hunt administrators would not let you pack them out. Ended up being a great deer to cull from the herd, the biologist aged him at 4.5.

That’s great. I apply in Texas as a non resident and have the dream of pulling their sheep hunt. Love the Big Bend area.
