Got a leftover in 35A this year, so hopefully will have some good news and photos to share in a few weeks. Looking at your photos I sure hope so.

The forum and the website are blocked sites at my work, but doesn't necessarily make me more productive daydreaming and sometimes cruising the forum on my phone. Good luck to all this weekend...not my turn until 11/4. Heading to the range today and hoping it might be dead there.

Awesome buck, especially for the first one. Good luck on the second tag and can't wait for the stories.

Nice buck and great way to make it a family hunt. Can't wait until my kids are old enough to hunt with me. Took my 6 year old scouting for coues today and he loved it.

I seem to have an affinity for drawing tags in burned areas this year. Looking for some general areas to start scouting for the early November hunt in 35A after I get back from 27... Any places you could recommend to start scouting? Thanks!

That's the plan...gonna be down there tomorrow in fact. Just looking for good starting points. Thanks for the info about the burns. Good news.

When I was 12 or 13 on my first junior deer hunt in TN, sitting in a treestand opening morning. As soon as deer entered the corn field, I proceeded to lose my breakfast off the side of the stand. This was over 20 years ago and safety harnesses were not widely in use, but my uncle threatened to buy me one for Christmas since he had to grab my shirt because he thought I was going to fall out of the stand. He still kids me about that hunt. I made up for it the next year by dropping my first deer, a nice basket 3x3, out of the same stand on opening morning.

Congrats to your little brother on his first elk. Sounds like a great hunt...thanks for sharing.

Agree..I've used this and it's pretty handy. Works very well with the Nikon BDC scopes.

Thanks all for the tips. Will be souting down there this weekend and definitely checking the areas recommended. Hopefully some pics to post soon. Any other thoughts or recommendations would definitely be appreciated.

Might leave it in the truck or drop it, but I can shoot my release with several broken fingers. Scott Wildcat by the way...

Great story and great bull. Congratulations and thanks for sharing! That's what it's all about...I think a lot of us get hung up on the numbers too often.

That's awesome! Congratulations! I need to pick up some judo points...

Congrats! What a great experience to share with your daughter. I'm sure my little girl will want a pink gun like that in a few years.

Wow...congratulations on hanging in there and respecting the bull enough to finish the job!

Gotta agree. I had the same hunt...it was definitely hard hunting in 27 this year and a lot of us got skunked.

Nice...what does that one score?

Great buck, great stalk, great story...thanks for sharing.

Had a few texts from my buddy hunting in 4A. One of the guys with him had a 7x6 on the ground this morning and sounded like lots of bugling. I'm heading out on Sunday and will hopefully have photos to share soon...

Congrats! Angie, will you please convince my wife how much fun hunting is?

Great buck and great video. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Just clicked join...

Vortex Vipers...but if I win the lottery or find a bag of money out in 36A I'll probably upgrade to Swaros or Kaibabs.

Awesome...what a great experience to share with your son. I can't wait for these kind of experiences with my son (6 and going on his first deer hunt with me soon)

Congrats! I got skunked today but still had fun. Looking forward to the photos.
