like title says sat is the opening day for rifle season, whos going to make it out to the deer woods. I will be there at least in the moring, The Tulsa Raceway Park banquet is in the after noon, hope fully they announce that the track has been leased.

 

wish i was, but not yet. someday i hope to be a deer hunter. They are definately out at night. almost everynight i drive home from work i see them on the north side of the airport and in the pecan orchard. Haven't seen many bucks or antlers.

 

hunting deer gets esier after the first one, right now they are eating corn because every thing else is gone and they are like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

yep i will be out in the morning...

 

here are some pictures, I hope to see some of these from the stand

 

Where are you hunting I can meet you there at 5am....looks like a few good ones

 

our place is between clevend and hominy. There are a few good one running around. tomarrow is going to be good, I saw a buck chasing a doe through the back yard about 30 min ago, but I want the one that broke off his right horn.

 

the one on the right has a jacked up rack, probably was injured previously, usually causes that.....it looks like osage county.....hominy is correct?

 

here are some deer we have taken over the past few years, and one set of sheds we found.

 

the one with the messed up rack is just that way, we have seen him the past few years. there seems to be some messed up genetics here, we see messed up looking racks every year.

so did anybody kill anything, I killed a coyote and anther guy on the lease killed this deer.

 

Good job get rid of the coyotes... did you find out what the buck scored I would say mid 120's...

 

back at it tomorrow morning. I've been out 6 times now. Bow, ML and Rifle. I keep seeing a few smaller bucks running around. Ironically we haven't had hardly anything in the way of does on our lease this year. Tons of pics but nothing in person. I couldn't get a shot on an 8 pointer I saw last Saturday. and had two other large deer come out after legal shoot. To dark by then to see how big. Could only see body size.

plenty of time between now and Jan 15. Just want to put something on the ground. Getting frustrated and starting to look for tag sandwich meal ideas.

 

I did not get a chance to score the buck yet I will be doing the European mount on it so I will score it at that time but it will be in the mid 120's it has good mass and good tines. I was hopping to get a mount out of that coyote but the cannon took off the opposite side leg, there was no saving it.

I have spent most of the week in the stand and have seen good activity just nothing big enough to shoot at yet, but have seen several bucks that will make next years group of trophies. I have really been looking for that drop tine deer but nobody has seen him yet, the neighbor was shooting and letting deer lay hope he did not make that fate. Will be back out tomorrow and try them again.
