2018-19 Deer Season

[NKYknowitall]

Finally, after putting in every bit of 50 hours in the woods this week and seeing nothing, I was able to take this guy this morning. He was after a doe. Got him to stop long enough to lay the hammer.

He bagged this buck Friday evening chasing a doe. He had previously missed this buck twice with a bow so he was happy to get another chance with a rifle.

Thanks! I’m getting him mounted. Hoping he breaks in the 130’s. He was one of 2 that I was wanting to take.

For those of us who partake in this wonderful activity of deer hunting, i hope this year has treated you well (if you’re season is done like mine). For those who will still be out, good luck. Looking forward to next year and already trying to figure out how to better the land I hunt.

Finally, a quiet backseat driver!

 

Lol definitely! The one usually in the car seat and the one in the passenger seat don’t know how to be.

Lucky he found that dude based on where he hit him.

I’m so glad some of you have had a good season so far!

 

I did end up buying a muzzle loader for the fun of it. I hope to punch another doe tag next week at Taylorsville lake.

 

Anyone have experience hunting WMAs late season with a muzzle loader?

What kind of ML did you get? I’m looking into getting one but not sure which way to go.

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

Well I started the season with a kill on opening day, and ended with a kill on the last day.

 

I’m really pumped because it was at Taylorsville lake, and one of my goals was to harvest a deer on public land.

 

Unfortunately, I think my arrow hit a branch because the shot was way back. The deer took off like a bat out of hell, and after tracking for a bit in the evening, I went back the next morning. I recovered the deer after about 300 yards laying in a creek. I was seriously lucky there was snow on the ground or I don’t think I would have found it. The trail was specs of blood at times.

 

It actually ended up being a button buck, but I’m still super happy with it.

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

What’s also encouraging, I was hunting a new spot at Taylorsville and had 6 deer come in, one being a buck I’d be really happy shooting.

 

I’ll certainly be hitting that spot again next season.

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

All in all, I’m happy with the season.

 

I killed 3 deer, all with a bow.

 

I met some of my goals like harvesting a buck with a bow and harvesting a deer on public land.

 

I wanted to fill all 4 tags and harvest a deer with a recurve, but that’ll have to wait at least on more year.

Congrats on a great season Thrills !! Always good to set goals , sometimes we reach them and sometimes we don’t but there is always next year to go after them . I was fortunate to have a pretty good season myself with my bow . Got a 142 inch 8 point , a coyote , a big doe and a triple bearded turkey. The turkey and doe I got on video. So that was pretty cool . My son got a nice 9 point with his crossbow on Christmas Day also . So all in all a great season from our part of the state . Congrats to all that had good seasons this year .
