My dad and I managed to punch our tags this weekend. Had my buck on camera earlier in the year and he was my target buck. Found him on Saturday evening, while doing a quick hunt with my family. feeding down a grass road. He saw us at the same time and jumped in to the brush about 30 yards away from me. I snuck up to where he left the road and saw him about 20 yards in the brush, was able to get a neck shot and put him down. Stinky, but not too swollen. This was the first buck I was able to get with my kids and is a memory I won't forget. He's also my best buck to date. My dads buck was on Sunday morning. We were sitting in a cut watching 6 does feed below us when his buck stepped out of the jack firs and started lip curling and smelling the air. Same story with his buck, smelly but not too swollen. It was a great weekend!

He was about 1/4 mile from the camera. There is active logging going on so I think it pushed him out of his core area.

Great bucks and great memories. Congrats to you all.

Congrats smith_22, nice bucks! I was wondering if the logging would have an effect of you, looks like not so much.

Friggin nice bucks man. And great memories. Sometimes it happens like that and its awesome when it does!

Smith_22 · « **Reply #25 on:** November 01, 2020, 07:42:01 AM »

Thanks again for all the comments. Justy, surprisingly the logging didn't really push the deer around too much. Have you noticed a difference because of it in your area?

justyhntr · « **Reply #26 on:** November 01, 2020, 08:20:08 AM »

Smitth-22, there is a property owner between the two pieces of timber land that you and I are hunting that put up a fence this summer and started running cattle, that had an effect, I'm pretty sure the deer used that area as a corridor between the two areas. The bucks you and your dad shot were not on our cameras this year but they were last year and over all we had way less bucks on camera this year. We did see an uptick of buck movement Oct.23 and there are still a couple nice bucks moving in our area. I took this guy Oct. 30 out of a ground blind in a area that we had a lot of does on camera. Again congrats on your bucks, the one you shot was also on my hit list.
