Have safe / enjoyable hunt this season and post pictures of your success.

What's a buck pole?

I don't hunt, but I think he meant "poll," not "pole."

But maybe there is such a thing as a buck pole. I dunno.

It happens when the buck is exercising his god given rights!

this thread is useless w/o pitchers...

Here's a picture of my success. He's named "Bitey".

Dinner?

Got 2 does today. Looks like they were family and when the mother went down, the junior did not knew what to do other than jumping around. Even if I said from home that 1 is enough... it was too much temptation for me. I'm weak.
Shooting was the easy part. Processing the hard part. Ass freezing the painful part.
Thanks jdonovan for a great mentoring!

No. A Deputy roared up the driveway hollering at me to release it. Apparently, it's a registered democratic voter.

Always look for the union label

You guys have never heard of a 'buck pole'? Interesting.

I took a doe this evening but didn't bother snapping any pictures. I did see two nice bucks, both on them trailing a doe and moving quickly. Hopefully I'll get a shot at one of them this week and I'll be sure to post pictures if I do.

Are the birds OK?

Turkeys and chickens are fine. This character was messing around in the barn where some firewood is stored.

Awesome! So, how did you like your first hunt?

Here you go fellas, an example of a buck pole...no he didn't mean poll.

I think 'buck poles' must be more of a northern thing, guess you can't really let deer hang in warmer climates. Maybe I should change the title to 'post pics of your deer here', haha.

Took a buddy out while he's home from college and had a successful morning (his first deer). Planning to go chase some bigger ones this weekend.

Awesome, congrats!

Fantsstic! Nice deer! What hardware is on the hip and what was used to harvest the deer?

Both Deer were taken with a shotgun (limited to shotgun or muzzleloader). My cheap EAA .357 field sidearm is on my hip since we run into bears every now and then. Last fall I ran into one opening day of bow season and only had my 9mm with me...he bluff charged the hell out of me and I decided I needed something bigger this year, haha.

I hunt with a Rossi single-shot 20 gauge, rifled/ported barrel chambered for 3" shells. The gun shoots very nice groups at 100 yards with a small scope. My buddy was using a basic 20 gauge Remington 870 with the same 3" 'Buckhammer' slugs I shoot.
