Amanda Graves took this 149' 10ptr Monday afternoon at 4:40 pm. She made a incredible shot at 260yds with the buck only going 15-20yds before pileling up.
On the afternoon of sept 16 I climbed into a double set I have hung looking over a food plot that could only be hunted on a SE wind. I have been running cameras all yr and had been seeing a wide 8 on cam. Well about 5pm the Bucks started pouring out into the plot. At one time I had 13 bucks within 25yds of me. During this time I'm self filming my hunt. About 7 pm I hear bucks fighting down below me in the creek bottom. As I'm looking to see if I could see what deer where down there I'm startled by movement on my left. I thought this was the deer I was after. By this time it was about 7:30 and I was losing light so I grabbed my bow got the camera on him and made a 17yd shot. He ran about 15-20yds and piled up. To my surprise after getting down and looking at the deer it was not the 8 I was after. Instead it was a 2.5-3.5 yr old 8. So I felt bad for shooting a young deer but also thank the lord for a good hunt. It's still one of my best hunts ever and got it all on video.
Ole man 7 took his last walk on the farm tonight. Missed him on video and tonight he stepped back out in the same food plot. 2014 will be a hard one to beat. Tagged out with my bow. Now just going to video and maybe knock a few doe's down.
My son loves to help with everything there is about deer hunting, from food plots , checking cameras to gettn on a blood trail. He's only 4 yrs old and asks everyday dad to u post my pic yet so guys not tryn to fill up the web site with my bow kill but he is so proud of him holding the deer by himself this yr so I thought I would let him finally see himself on here holding my buck!!
Shot this nice 8ptr on wed afternoon at 20 yds. Just as I was about to get out of tree due to a bad storm I looked over my shoulder and here came a group of doe's. So took my backpack off and pulled up my bow knocked a arrow and shot here at 20 yds she piled up about 25 yds later. Then looking to my right I seem antlers coming up from the bottom heading towards food plot. Well after about 15 mins he gave me a 20yd quartering away shot that put him down within 60 yds. So in the end just glad I stuck the storm out.
last yr pic of the close rack 8. And amost the same pose and about the same time of yr. love seeing the same ole boys
Shot this deer early September with bow. Been hunting him ever since. Finally on the morning of the 9th, he gave me a 50 yard quartering towards me shot! He ran about 40 yrds and piled up.
a video of last nights hunt. Got this deer within 19yds but think hes needs 1 more yr!
Been after this guy for 3 weeks. He had a broke right foot and no testicles. so he was shot for management buck. But hes still a trophy in my book. Been seeing alot of nice bucks just alittle on the young side for me. Shot this deer at 25 yds and found him piled up 40yds away. And he made some great jerky!!!!!
It is a pic of a dee in 2012, that my cuz was going to shoot cause he thought he would never be anything. Well by the looks of it I'm glad he didn't take him. Cause at 2013 he a trophy in my book. Just wanted to share.
same afternoon but with cell phone.Guess my scent was under control!! LOL....
Well on the 9th of sept my father inlaw shot his first velvet deer with a compound. We were sittn in a ground blind over looking a 2ac clover plot when right at dark this deer walked within 30 yds. He let the Goldtip fly with a rage chisel tip extreme. It hit alittle high but that extreme put one heck of a hole. 100yds later he's sittn behind it. I was sittn next to him as all this went down and I must say I was just excited as he was. So again congrats a hope to do it again.
Well i got some footage of goofy at 100yds from tree stand! sorry didnt have the camera arm on this hunt!
I was huntimg the front of the property and wouldnt u know who is standing at 30 yds from stand!
I'm looking for some reviews or thoughts on crossbows. My father has been disabled since early 90s and now he wants to get out and try some hunting with me. But he can't pull a compound bow. I know nothing about crossbows so thought I would ask some of you who shoots them. What's a good one? I'm looking to spend about $1000. So any help would be great. Thanks in advance. Jason.
Great first bow buck brink!!! Congrats. Glad I could see him with my own eyes!!
Well all I can say Justin is I hope I can raise my son as well as u have. Congrats to ur boy and the gift card. My little boy seen ur boy with a deer and now this is all he's talked about all morning. So tell huntsman he's got big or should I say little fans out there. Congrats again guys!!
no this one was not named.goofy is still well and alive i saw him last night with 2 doe's in bean field. wrong stand wrong time. he gets me every time. maybe tonight is the night for sure,

Can't fix it!!
Don't get to see that much! Did u shoot him? If not I wonder how it will effect his antlers next yr
What a brute. Good looking buck bud. Congrats!
Very nice buck there bud! Again congrats and can't wait to see the mount!
Well I can tell u this is deff the same deer. It's game land surrounded by a big housing development. And he has a white patch around his leg that is one of a kind. Last yr we thought this deer was hurt and was going to be shot. But u can trust me my cuz has tons of pics of this guy last yr and still. I have absolutely no reason to feed y'all a bunch of BS of this deer. Just couldn't believe it myself. But it makes u think now about shootn those cull or spikes.
This deer is on game land. It's a pic my cuz sent me that backs up to game land
Well i know u got this about 10 times from me already but again thats a great bow buck and to get it all on video well thats even better! Cant wait to get mine on video if the deer will ever show themselves or the wind dont mess us up! Now lets see if i can do it tonight!!!
I have had this before also. It's lightning bugs. And I would agree it looks alittle like water marks.
@GT. man I really hope to stick a arrow in this dude!! I hope ur predictions are right and if so there's a steak dinner heading ur way for sure.
