My dad, myself and a buddy are hunting the McDowell permit hunt. We got in a little early but better than being late. Super calm and quiet. Heard 2 shots thus far.

Super calm here too considering the last two days. I’m in a great spot… at least by my own standard. The deer seem to disagree quite often. Got in late since I haven’t been to this spot this year… wanted to be able to see so I can know where to plop down.

Saw a small 6 and a big framed 7pt so far. I’m pretty sure that this is a buck that I saw last Tuesday and couldn’t make out if he had a missing G2 or not. He is actually missing a G3. If he makes it he will be a whopper next year. Both were cruising.

I have also seen 4 or 5 does and a small buck on the next ridge over which is not my land. Buck was pushing them. The does weren’t ready.

Man I’m shaking. Just lobbed one at the same buck missed the other day. BUT he still didn’t act hurt. Checking the track in a couple minutes (it’s been 30). Because of brush and terrain I could only see him during the shot and when he turned. I’m praying hard.

I'm glad you got him ! Congrats. Bud !!! (y)(y)

I've seen 11 so far. Biggest was a 5 pt no brows. The only doe I've seen was too far.

When Dubbeltap69 gets here I’ll get a pic. Things as big as I am. 9 pointer.
Congrats!

Came with a friend to Ritchie county, WV (North Bend State Park lottery hunt)… have to kill a doe before you can kill a buck

so I shot 1st doe I saw… although it’s small. (Thank you Lord)
Buddy had a 6ptr beside him but could shoot because he hasn’t killed a doe yet.

I owe @dubbeltap69 BIG TIME. Two backs made fairly short work of an arduous task. If he ain’t 200 he ain’t far. Pic seems smaller, but I got a witness :) The width of his front leg is almost as wide as my rifle stock. Came to rattling and grunting, ready to stomp someone’s a….

I dare say it is probably going to be the best part of my day. More than happy to help.

He was way closer to 200 than he was to 150 I can say that. AND big enough that even both of us together couldn't have drug him out of that hole. Field quartering is where it's at !

I didn’t see but a squirrel this morning. Had to run and work during lunch.
My dad seen 12… this morning 6 bucks 6 does. 2 of the bucks were shooters but he couldn’t get a shot. The other does were too far. He killed a 87lb doe and yearling. There were 3 decent 8s shot and 13 total this morning. Back at it this afternoon.

I had parts to work on my truck then I ran into needing another part that wouldn’t be in until 2:30, so travel time, put it all back together, check cows… thinking I’ll sneak in…

Two does right by the stand. Saw me, I just turned around and went back to the house. Screw it, I’ll try in the morning.

At least my truck isn’t clunking anymore.

They've already seen you now. Climb on up and maybe something else will stroll by. Still got a little time and you can't kill em from the couch!

Hurried home from work and climbed 35' up a pine tree behind my house here in Northern Forsyth County. Hoping for some luck that some of y'all had today. 😄

This one I recognize, she will work a 200 yard radius to clear the area like an EOD Specialist. I would not be able to get down, I’m better off letting her forget about me.
