2 Mar Bow & MuzzleloaderHey guys, just thought I would send a few pictures of the deer I was able to harvest this season. Even though I still consider myself a fairly new member, I was very excited this season learning how everything worked, and knowing more what to expect! And not to mention I was able to successfully draw a [location deleted] archery tag + muzzleloader tag for [location deleted].
After suffering some bad luck on my first two weekend trips, I was able to put that behind me on my third trip. That first day of my last trip I never left my stand that day. I seen twelve bucks and fifteen doe, by far my best day ever bowhunting. After making an adjustment with my stand location of about 75 yards, I was ready for the next morning. At 7:00AM this buck came by and I was able to put a good shot on him. I noticed when the deer was coming in the big patch of white hair on his back. When I recovered the deer, the white hair was coming off some sort of meat that connected to the backbone, like it was trying to grow another tail of some sort. The deer had suffered an injury to the tail that made it shorter than normal. Anyway the deer, a 10 point which had a broken G4 grossed 136. My best deer ever! This deer field dressed just under 240lbs. This buck was not as big as the one I missed on my second trip. He was a monster 9 point, with a huge body also. (It sure is hard to shoot thru a hickory limb)!
My [deleted] hunt was really short. With above normal temperatures deer movement was pretty slim. On my second evening, I went to a farm where I was able to harvest a turkey this spring before. I sat up in a draw with the wind in my favor when I decided to grunt and rattle my horns some. Even though it was late in the year I thought what the heck. As soon as I went thru my first series of calling, I heard the deer coming fast. I barely had enough time to put my horns down and get ready. I shot him at 10 yards and I had been there just 7 minutes. By far not the biggest deer for [location deleted], but this 8 point gave me a good hunt and one to remember. With high temperatures plus three days of rain in the forecast, I felt very successful. I just wish that it would be a little easier or quicker to draw a non-resident archery tag for [location deleted]. From what I seen in just a few days looks like there is some awesome land to hunt. Here are a couple of pictures of some great rubs I found. One by far is the biggest I've ever seen anywhere! I sure can't wait 'till next year. You guys are awesome, thanks for your patients, your advice, & hard work. I know it is not easy doing what you do!

Thank you Jamie for a great letter, compliments and good luck with your hunts to come.
To receive any feedback from any member is to get a report card on the Association.
