I Got One
« on: November 27, 2023, 10:35:48 AM »
I got him.  My eyes are going bad in my old age.  Missed a bigger one a few days ago.  Got my arrow back and drilled this buck this morning.  Old school Game Getter aluminum arrow with a Muzzy broadhead.  He only went a little ways. 

Feeling mighty thankful that the Good Lord blessed us with meat for the freezer!

Awesome job, Smokepole! 

I see rattling antlers in your picture- did you rattle him in?

Yes.  I was inspired by @3nails YouTube video this morning, so I went out and tried it.  About 10 minutes later, a whole herd of deer- 5 does, a spike and this one.  What do you know about that!

Thanks for the mini rattling seminar this morning, 3nails.  I've tried it before and this morning it worked.  The one thing I did differently is thump the ground between rattles, the way you did.  Worked like a charm!   :tup:

Congrats Smokepole beautiful buck!  Very cool that your rattled him in as well.

Most importantly I've never heard your mantra "Sit on your butt and what for the rut!" but clearly you have something there.  I can see it now seminars, podcasts, flat brimmed hats, hoodies, t-shirts, Youtube channels.  Your fixin to blow up as the cool kids say!

Great posting, made my day.  Great buck.

Did you get him in the Levis camo?  That would really top it off!

Thanks NNW!  Hey you can steal my mantra and make it go huge.  Just send me some mailbox money every so often.   :chuckle:

I worked for a rancher when I was a kid.  He had over 1000 head of cattle at one time.  He said ranching was easy.  Just put 'em on the grass, and sit on your arsse.  So I sort of stole the idea!   8)

 :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: Yeah I did the deed in my Wrangler jeans camo pants, Broomd.  Just a quick little outing in real mild weather, so I didn't suit up.   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Hey not a bad idea B300WM.  I would do that in a heart beat.  All a guy needs is a fire and a stick to roast a big chunk.  Best meal on Earth!

In all my years I've never seen growth rings marked like that? Well done Smokepole and without a Smokepole.

Thanks Wadu1.  I really prefer muzzy hunting, but the seasons in this state suck.  There's something about that big cloud of smoke, and wondering if you got him that really appeals to me.  Keeping my name Smokepole for now.   :chuckle:

Way to go- great looking deer!
