Nothing special, just a couple smallish does, but our lease in Young county this year has been rough. Other than a glimpse of a doe being chased by a small buck opening day these two does are the first two anyone on the lease has seen this year. Lots of small bucks that are not legal by AR rules. The only legal buck was one I saw yesterday evening when I was moving from one stand to another and the buck caught me out of pocket. It was a big one too. Just not to be this time. I should have stayed with plan A on that one.

No wheat this year, feeder troubles for all, Hunters now on the one boundary that we had left that did not have neighboring hunters, hog invasions, and a spotlight poacher troubling us opening weekend. We have had our troubles this year. So I am happy to have these for the table. Wife gave orders to bring home some venison because we were out of last years. So not a bad morning.

Congratulations, and as said on a lot of places, it has been a tough year. We have not seen anything the last 3 weekends.

After Halloween, the wife told me to take the Pumpkin to the trash. I was headed to the lease the next morning, so what the heck, I put it in my truck. And still it sits by my feeder untouched. I had left it for the Hogs to bust, but even the hogs will not mess with it. If it is still there on my last Deer hunt of the season, I am going to shoot that sucker.

take that pumpkin and throw it in a field and next year you will have a pumpkin patch. I have done this many times. those seeds will take root and you have a good pumpkin patch.



Thanks, Jigfish

Well, time is running out! I hope you can get something to take home......I'm afraid the pigs/hogs have run off everything we had.

I know the feeling to well, just to dang much food in the woods for them to eat.

Congrats on some good eating meat though!

Congrats on the meat.

They may not be touching the pumpkin because it was waxed before you bought it. A lot of the decorator style pumpkins come that way.

Glad you finally scored. Our Young county lease has been tough to but several deer were seen this weekend. Only one dead coyote out of four seen though.



I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.
