    Well it’s been 4 years since I posted and probably almost as long since I checked up on the forum. I have barely hunted but have managed to keep my fruit trees thriving and maintained the food plots. Its been way too long so I am recommitting to the habitat work and spending more time in the...

    Deer Tracking Dog Needed - Olive Hill, KY

    I was unable to source a dog the day of the shot, so I went in the day after, at first light, on my own. The buck's desperate tracks going straight down to the holler made him easy to follow. Because of the high hit and no pass through there was sporadic blood, but the blood that I did find was...

    Deer Tracking Dog Needed - Olive Hill, KY

    Buck shot at 9:50am today. Lung shot but arrow stuck on opposite shoulder so no pass through and hardly any blood. Let me know if a network handler is available.

    Negative, not since December 2017. Think his disappearance is why “Slammer,” became established on the property. Each time on the property makes a new memory but I don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking of that deer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I was pulling and saving those weekly reports during 2017. Never found any dead deer during my intrusive winter walkabouts but obviously doesn't mean there weren't any around me. I had consistent pictures of the bucks and does on my property until well after the first frost so I think my little...

    All the aerials that G has been posting of his neighboring property made me realize I haven't even provided one on this thread.Property boundary is in red, with a stream aka branch, forming the bottom western boundary.The diagonal central drainage also holds water year round. The grey lines mark...

    Annual hunt trip was from October 23rd until 30th. Past two years of trail cam pictures led us to believe we’d have a decent hunt. NOT THE CASE! I saw one deer from the stand all week, a 140 class 3.5yo that I missed at 40yds. Buddy only saw a doe and then a monster. My dad saw ZERO all week...

    You must have sent some good vibes my way because yesterday’s card pull revealed 11 different bucks. All were at a mineral site from around August 23rd until September 3rd or so. A lot of young studs! “Handlebars” is still around, that makes three years of history. Unfortunately, no sign of “Big...

    There is zero ag. There’s a few 3 to 6 acre overgrown pastures where I’ve seen bachelor groups within a mile of me but these are in high human impact areas. Thought my hidden, inaccessible bottom field complete with stream and natural spring waterhole would be a bachelor pad. I don’t have high...

    City slickers ask what "filter," I used on those pictures...tell them no filter needed for scenes like that!

    2nd Trip was weekend of August 18th. Bottom field exploded and every single plant in the mix was identifiable. Forgot to take a picture of the exclusion cage! Neighbor was kind enough to come bulldoze a decent sized bench top we call “Honey Hole.” This is the location that my buddy took his...

    End of summer update...I made two trips to the property since my buddy planted the bottom field early June. First trip was around 4th of July with my two young daughters. Buddy had a good kill in the bottom field but growth was thin. I think we seeded a little light and the deer were on it...
