What would you like to see while deer hunting??

Something in the 160-170 range with a drop tine. In all the years I've been hunting, I've only seen one deer with a drop tine.

I've always said I'd like to have about 20 shot opportunities on one hunt. You know, just have a line of deer one after another, file past you. That almost happened on my last hunt this year. Just a little too far away to connect.:cool:

I have seen deer sex, does boxing, light sparring with young bucks that had a mature 8 keep walking through the middle, breaking it up every time they locked up.

I would like a P&Y buck to come within recurve range, making that shot, on a mild day, when I have a full belly, not tired, not over dressed, don't have to be somewhere, in the right tree, good cover, scent free, downwind and not have teenagers coming through the woods looking to smoke and drink while I am waiting for the poper to come in range. Oh yeah...one more thing...a easy drag also.

That about oughtta do it...:rolleyes:

I ain't looking for much:D

Have seen a bit too, never gets old, and seems I see something new every year.

Seen pretty heavy sparring and some light fighting, have watched bucks chase does too many times to count, and have seen kangaroo boxing, have even watched a doe get within feet of a yote while trying to lead the yote away from her fawn during the off season. This past season watched a young buck pushing around a button buck all over the field in front of me, and the young buck was grunting and even growled a few times. Pretty cool to see at such close range.

Guess if we are dreaming a book caliber deer in bow range would be nice. Would not hurt my feelings if the deer had a drop tine either.

Without a doubt, it would bee seeing a mature buck (anything over 120 inches) while out with my daughter this October during the youth season. Then watching her reaction after pulling the trigger and dropping him in his tracks. I think I'd be monkey flipping all over the place.

I would love to see Big Foot chase a tree hugger to within 50 yards of my stand while i unload my 7mm into him (big Foot not the tree hugger) and get lots of money for the real thing.........................................................................................

...................................................................And a nice 175 10 pointer with my bow would also rank up there:D

A big typical or NT and two big bucks fighting it out. The closest I've seen to a fight was to 150"-160" bruisers came out and chased a doe for 20 minutes. They came out into the field and then bristled up, squared up, then just started feeding, never fought for a second. They fed all the way down the field together and stayed just out of bow range for me. Was cool to see that big of deer, but I wish they would have been about 20 yards closer...

Lotta history with him. Passed on him several times 2 years ago and we have one of his sheds from that year. Never laid eyes on him during this season... maybe this coming year. He'll be 5 1/2 then

Nah! He's too small, but I'll gladly take him for ya'! :rolleyes::D Keep the gene pool healthy and all. :D:D:D

Dakota :D

after this last deer season...you took the words right out of my mouth

I forgot to add that. This was one of the worst deer hunting years IL has seen in a while... statewide. I know outfitters in a couple different parts of the state, and one had 40 guys in for 1st season, only 4 took deer. Me, nor ccwhitey, nor Parkergirl, nor anybody that I know saw the deer movement we're accustomed to here in IL.
