Re: 2019 Archery season freezer candidates
There is.
I'm still learning.
A few things might help.
See what distance you can repeatedly make hits.
Place a marker ( toilet paper or some such ) along or in any shooting lanes you have at that limit.
Be aware of the deer body angle in relation to where you want to make that hit.
Post a pic of your deer down.
Good luck.Opinions are like anal apertures. They all stink but mine.

Only two bucks so far, a small 7 pointer and this 8 pointer.
Shooting is, as it has always been, the fabric of America!

Re: 2019 Archery season freezer candidates
The past couple seasons, I've gotten lucky after most of the deer I saw early crawl into a void.
I had a garbage truck 2 seasons back spook a buck which ran right under my stand. Last year, i caught another one trotting along, nose to the ground chasing a doe during the rut.
A lot of hours watching and waiting paid off.
Most of the bucks on those early pics haven't been around.
I spread out the cameras to check but just a group of 5 doe, another group of 3 and a single have stopped by regularly.
I know those deer are around.

Re: 2019 Archery season freezer candidates
A great morning to be in a tree. 55, clear. no bugs early.
I climbed 20 feet up about 6 AM.
At 740, along came my buddy and gave me a slightly quartering to shot at 15 yards. I thought it would be OK and had a complete pass through.
He is a small bodied deer. Might be 2 1/2.
The gel shots in my knees yesterday really haven't started working but I'm not bitching.
About an 80 to 90 yard drag..

It's like an early 70th birthday present and i'm getting this one mounted just for the cool rack.
Now my neighbor will have to choose from the 11 or 3 nice 8's back there.Last edited by 27hand; September 26th, 2019 at 06:31 PM.

Re: 2019 Archery season freezer candidates
Glad to see you got him before he pulled his disappearing act. That is an impressive rack for a smaller deer.

Re: 2019 Archery season freezer candidates
My neighbor said he had never seen this guy on his cameras.
We live about 500 yards apart.
Last year he shot a 9 point and I was disappointed thinking it was the one I was watching.
A few weeks later, I shot a 9 point and it was the one I was watching.
I had never seen the one he shot.
Their range areas must have split somewhere in between.
I cant believe the number of decent but mostly small bucks in this residential area but I'll take it..
