So did you get rib cage fly?

Still alive and kickin. Haven't even warmed the barrel up in about 3 years, just busy working , then bent my thumbs back trying to install tire chains to get a Super-B load of oil on a snow/ ice covered hill. I'm doing rehab now, but it a slow process getting back k the way they were before the injury.

Holy cow.. i didn't realize this place still existed after you couldn't get to the forums last year.. I wish more people were still around. Congrats on your 24' deer Fly, not much doing here, just a nice doe in the freezer.

My season is over! Took a couple nice bucks this year. One being a 3.5 year old and the other at least 5.5. Looks like this will be the final post I'll make here. Happy Hunting everyone!

Got me a nice 8 pointer on election day!

That's fantastic! Things are heating up in my area as well. Much earlier than usual. You can always send me a FB friend request ODU to share hunting success pictures. I'm Frank Lyerla - FB profile is scuba diving.

Got a nice buck on Wednesday night. The cold front that came through last week had these bucks chasing does early like first week of November. Awesome hunting last week. He came in chasing a bunch of does. Shot him at 30 yards. Of course it won’t let me upload photos…

Got the season started off with 5 points on public ground!

On the board! A doe from public land. 5 points (pictures wont load)

I'm still running the Deer Contest. If a straggler happens by check out the Contest Room. here are my top prospects (Rib Cage and MEL)

The Deer contest survives another year! Here is my main target I call Rib cage.

This is the thread for the 2024-2025 Deer Contest. I figure I'll be the only contestant so good luck Frank! LOL

Here is a link to an 8 minute video I made of my spring 2024 turkey hunt on public ground.

Yea, but few and far between!

Just stopped by for the first time in a long time!

Well? RB

That’s one way to end to your season lol. I had a bunch of does within range during muzzleloader, but didn’t end up shooting anything. We are sitting pretty good on meat in freezer at the moment

A crazy end to my season. With only a few days left I got a call from a neighbor informing me I had an injured deer in the back yard. I looked, but there was nothing there. A couple hours later he showed up in the front yard. His hind quarters had been eaten (coyotes I assume). The 5 point 2.5 year old buck could not run, but was able to walk. To be legal I need permission from home owners within 100 yards of where I am "hunting". I called my neighbors and all agreed a mercy kill was in order. I used my crossbow and took the shot making sure it was safe. The deer walked to the neighbors and to my surprise walked right up their sidewalk and expired a couple feet from their front porch. I tagged him and spent some time cleaning the blood from the walk and removed the back straps. I seasoned then grilled them. I invited the neighbors over and we all had venison medallions for dinner.

My buddy shot a nice 10 point on opening day of gun season. Have not had much time to get out this year with building a new house. Hopefully get out for muzzleloader.
