    Next up. This is one of a few doe interested in the gut pile. Hopefully Friday morning, when it cools off, she will be the latest addition to the freezer.

    Since I have a cam at the gut pile, here's a couple vids on a foggy morning.

    No other wildlife.
    Last year there were deer, raccoons, foxes and a yote on the gut pile.
    It is gone now except for the stomach, which is covered with maggots.

    This is the 6 point that was running with the nontypical. This was this morning.

    Congrats!

    Crows are the one animal that always show up at our gut piles.

    Tried posting on my phone. Didn't go through so may be a double post.

    Well, the senior rifle doe season is over and no additional meat is heading to the freezer.
    I went 2 days and my buddy went on Friday.
    It was thick and leafy but great just being out.
    On Thursday, I had a real nice 8 point come up to within 30 yards and checked me out for 3 or 4 minutes before walking away.
    He let me scope him with a frontal presentation, quartering to , a broad side and quartering away.

    Here he is walking away.

    I heard a dozen shots Thursday and only 2 on Friday.
    On Friday, my buddy saw 2 spikes grazing in front of him for a while too.

    We had a decent frost on Thursday but not Friday early.

    So, I'll be in my treestand next week for a 2B and will have to wait till the second week of rifle for a 2A doe.

    My senior lifetime combo will let me hunt for yotes the first week of rifle or I'll see if there are any leftover trout in East Hickory creek.

    It's all good.

    Nice day after that nasty storm yesterday.

    Decided on the spur of the moment to climb my treestand,
    No hunting clothes or boots.
    Just jeans, bow, daypack,

    Got up there about 5 and about 6 saw this girl.
    2019-11-01_10-19-15 by poofy27, on Flickr

    She became this girl at about 6:05.

    2019-11-01_10-18-54 by poofy27, on Flickr

    The shot was a bit quartering to so the bolt passed through but had some gut hanging out the exit wound.

    She ran about 120 yards.

    Ill prepared causes issues.
    I found her just about dark.
    my headlamp died. I gutted her in darkness.
    The drags back are entirely uphill.
    The 70 YO knees are asking for ibuprofin. I gave them MGD instead.


    That takes care of the 2B tag. One left for 2A.
    When I go to camp, I will be the shanty bitch but will do some fishing.
    The following week, I'll try for my 2A freezer candidate..


    Retirement is the cats ass.
    Hope I can do this a bit longer.

    Nice going 27hand. Meat in the freezer is always good. All you need now is to find her boyfriend. I got home from Wyoming on the 26th from mule deer and pronghorn, both bit the dust. . I missed old farts day and the early bear season, but I’d rather be in Wyoming.

    Thanks guys.
    Cool beans on the trip out west QBC. Good for you.
    I'm just about settled in with a load for my .300 WM and hope to get out there next year.

    The does boyfriend is at the taxidermist.
    I'm heading out to 2A territory tomorrow to look around for a potential tree stand spot and try to fill that tag while archery is still in.

    If not, I still have some 170 Deep Curls (thks) for that 3030 for the second week of rifle.

    The end is near.
    Saturday, I believe is the last day for hunting in my special regs area.

    I was lucky again this year as were quite a few of my friends.

    I put the remaining part of the old salt block back out a few weeks ago since I have long ago stopped hunting behind the house.

    A few guys have plans to hunt this last Sat and I wish them good luck.

    Well, I pulled the SD card out of the only camera I have back there now and saw signs of seedlings for next Sept early archery.

    This guy did a walk by. Pretty sure he's a 4 point.

    Then around the same time, this guy also did a walk by. I'm pretty sure he was the nontypicals buddy. 3 up and no brow tine.
    STC_0261 by poofy27, on Flickr

    Then, I like seeing this one about 45 minutes later. He stopped for a lick.
    STC_0270 by poofy27, on Flickr


    Most of the bucks I posted pics of early on had crawled into a hole.

    So a couple of these guys will add some weight, maybe some larger head jewelry and live through the polar vortexs to become freezer candidates next Sept.

    Heres hoping.

    I applied for a Wyoming cow elk tag too.

    Nice to see some bone still around. You have any bonus points for your cow elk? I’ve got 4 points for bull elk and will buy another this year. Did a mule deer and pronghorn hunt up toward Wheatland Wy this year with great results. I have no idea what I’m doing for 2020, gonna check out the Great American Outdoor Show either Monday or Tuesday and see what’s out there.
