Hoff Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 started out with a nice early season 8pt in mid september. Big body wide back. Rack was decent. cant quite get a doe in range though. We need 3 deer for the year in my family we eat alot. long winters up here Lol finishing bow next weekend i hope and then its time for my RRA LAR8 to get some action in late Nov when gun opens up!! love deer hunting with that .308 AR!!
shepp Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 Nice deer hopefully the temp makes it out the 60's by then. I'm most likely sitting out this year unless some one twists my arm.
Sisco Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 Nice, just put out my game cams for the gun deer season. Nothing showing up on them yet. A thousand feet from where I sit.
Hoff Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks guys!! hoping to keep this train a rollin. Shepp you gotta go. you know you want to! Something about the feeling of walking through the woods with that big azz ar10 in you hands knowing you can blast a large animal, its special hunting with these things. family, time in the woods, pure natural food God its so great!! gets you ready for ice fishing too

He's like a brother to me his dad showed me how to gut my first deer. That's spoiled it for me, trust me I miss the north woods, but it's easier not going. There are a few places down here I could go, but it would be by myself and it just won't be the same.
sketch Posted November 7, 2016 Report Posted November 7, 2016 ^ I get to go (by myself)!duck hunting all the time! I love it! People change, get married... congrats HOFF! Stalk the rest!
Malig8r Posted November 7, 2016 Report Posted November 7, 2016 Great looking buck you got there Hoff!!! This is my first year back in Michigan for the rifle hunt in over 9 years so I'm kinda winging it. Going up to the cabin and bringing a couple friends, I guess we'll see how it all shakes out. Next year there'll be a bit more prep

Next year there'll be a bit more prep do some sitting do some drives you guys will see something! Im hoping to tag out 2 more does quick with the bow before the 18th rolls around and i get to really play. Got my ar10 new last year 3 days before gun season and shot a massive booner!! now sunday a good friend is bringing his brand new ar10 build to shoot with me, i think i talked him into sighting it in quick and hunting with it this year. I gotta be ready you never know what you will see in the woods! even on the public land where i hunt!
Hoff Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Posted November 7, 2016 you got it sketch hunting alone is different but i love it its peaceful.

But, no time like the present to start some new traditions! Pick you out a spot of good public land, grab some good friends or family, or even try it alone. If you dont hunt i wish you the best year of ice fishing you ever had though sorry about the situation. I know my life long traditions are going to get turned inside out in the next 5 years so I might be in the same boat. but i got two kids counting on me to have hunt and tradition for them someday so i gotta drive on. at least my land should always be there it is public
Sisco Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 These showed up on my game cams yesterday. Hunting alone this year son won't be hunting.
ARTrooper Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 I spent the last hour of my shift tonight driving 25 in a 55 with windows down yelling at the deer to get off my road. lol. saw 2 nice 8 pointers jump in front of me though, sped up but they got away. :(

Nice bucks! the little fella thats a good eater. The other one, is he a big six or a small 8? nice looking buck either way
Sisco Posted November 10, 2016 Report Posted November 10, 2016 Top one is a unicorn 4. He only has an antler on one side it looks like. Think it already got broken off. I want a big one, so I am going to be patient.
jtallen83 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Posted November 10, 2016 Looks like Bluetongue is back in NE Nebraska.There was a dead 10 point and 8 point at the creek on my Dad's place there, big bastards. You could smell dead ones in several places where the creek runs by the road so there are plenty more. Thousands of acres around him are all tied up with hunting leases so very few deer are taken causing big population swings, going to be a down year coming.

jtallen83 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Posted November 10, 2016 http://outdoornebraska.gov/ehd/ No info on any present outbreak but finding them by the water is a good sign it is same disease as past die offs.
Magwa Posted November 10, 2016 Report Posted November 10, 2016 Nice Buck Hoff a bow kill is always great good luck to everyone this year...
Malig8r Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 Dropped this guy on the evening hunt
