2019 Gov Whitetail Tag

[jjhunter]

I’m not a whitetail hunter, so this will be interesting. 

I’d really like to kill a buck in my home County so that is where I will start in Sept.  I hung one camera in early July and just checked it this weekend.   I hung another camera in another good area.  I won’t check them again until the 29th and then I’ll be hunting/scouting for a week or so.

My goal is 170” gross for the tag, but mostly looking forward to the experience.

Looks like a couple heavy 4 points and a nice 4x5 coming into my cam.  As you can see, I’m an amateur when it comes to cam alignment.   No shooter buck, yet

See the fresh boot track in the snow to the right of his face? Thats mine.  I went in the day before, put out estrous scent with the plan of hunting my stand there the next day, meaning the day that pic was taken.  When i woke up i decided not to, for no reason i can recall.     never knew that buck existed, its my one and only pic of him.  And take into account, the steep cam angle makes tines look  much shorter.

If only it were 2014. I had two in my area that were freakishly big. Both seven by sevens, very wide, plenty of mass, and hanging out in an area that most people do not hunt. I would have turned you onto it just to see one on the ground. But it looks like you won't need any help! Good luck with that tag, what did it cost if you mind sharing? I understand if you don't. Either way, get after it.

Well, if one of them pops up, I’m all ears!!!!   

I paid $6k.   A lot of $$ for me, but a pretty good value for the experience.

I’m looking forward to following along here. Good luck!

Nice. Thanks for sharing I was always curious. So far this year just have a couple run of the mill four and five points but if something shows up in the area I'll let you know especially because I may just take a nice doe first chance. Didn't have much time off the last two years so I just want some venison to eat!

I think that’s a good price for a tag with that much opportunity. Good luck on the tag a 170” gross buck is a good goal to shoot for and should be obtainable with some patience and possibly pointers from others on where a few big ones are hanging.

Sorry if I missed it. Where is your home county?

Jumping in here to keep track of the shenanigans. Good luck, JJ. I'm sure you'll kill a slob buck.
