Title: Eight Bucks Under My Treestand
Post by: lokidog on September 14, 2017, 09:28:38 PM: The gang was eating pears and doing a little sparring right under my tree stand that is still up from several years ago, too bad I'm not bow hunting this year.

I have seen three mature bucks total so far the last couple weeks and have been cruising looking for them instead of hunting because my back is still screwed up. The mature bucks have been hunkered down all summer around here.

Two of those I located were on pears too, the apple crop is pretty thin around here this year.

Looks like a couple decent bucks in that vid.

Horses allowed in there. I had to throw branches at them the last time I hunted it, they kept eating my apples.... This year they are not on that side of the fence.

Seth30 will probably be on the stand tomorrow.

Freezer pets, it looks like.

They taste as good as any high buck deer, and I can hunt from my house..... 8) :kneel:

Seth texted me less than an hour later with BBD, "brown" buck down.... :tup: I t looks small in the photo but was 100lb hanging weight, a high average for the island.
