Hunting Trip Photo........Opening Weekend Kill Shots

[classicrockgriller]

This was my opening weekend shots.



Had to go out and get three more before the hunt was over.

That was a nice hunt. I was hunting........hunting for a place to lay down.

I had a busy weekend.

Friday nite we had deep fried battered marinaded pork chops (boneless)
Rum marinaded backstrap
And a whole bunch of Whiskey.

Sat afternoon hunt I finally pulled the trigger and it was a tough decission.

I had three does and two bucks come out on my longest lane amnd they finally worked their way down to my food plot.

They must be starting the second rut cause the two bucks started fighting right in front of me.

I thought I was watching the outdoor channel.

One was a lone horn big body spike and the other was an 9 point with about a 15 inch spread.

I ground checked the spike. and it field dressed at 115 lbs.

He was 4 1/2 yrs old and was a bad seed to have running around.

Sunday morn I got another hog.

Great weekend.

He was 4 1/2 yrs old and was a bad seed to have running around.

Two years ago I had to do the same thing, seen a big fork horn 2 years in a row that kept pushing the better looking bucks out of the breading grounds.
Dropped him and the next day, field dressed at 180 lb. The next day or two when looking for a doe there was some nice looking bucks back in there. Gotta do what you gotta do to keep the herd looking good.

Good to here you got some meat on the table, the deer and the pig.

We hardly ever get a buck that gets close to field dress weight of 140.

And that 9 point is gonna be a horse next year, unless I see him again. ;D

Nice thing about living in the corn belt, nice size deer.

Hope you get a shot at that 9 pointer.

How many more days do you have left to hunt? Its gotta be getting close to the end of season by now.

We get the whole month of Dec. to hunt with the big smoke stick.

Looks like you were ready!      nepahunter!

I hate to say it, nepas (I don't really but I was trying to be polite), but the bottom pic makes you look more like a Muppet (albeit an armed Muppet) than a killer of wild beasts. 

Oh wait, I get it... look nonthreatening enough and lure the beasts close enough to kill.  Clever!

[classicrockgriller]

If I had to be in the woods at 4:45, I would never go hunting.

I get up at 5:30, drink a cup of coffee and put on my shorts and flip flops, take a ride on 4 wheeler and am in stand by 6:00.

I don't know, he looks pretty threatening to me...    I wouldn't want to see him standing in my front yard at 4:45 in the morning.  :o
