Nice! Here in Va, I have a small 30 acre place with trails, creeks and food plots. Between my son and I we kille five this fall. Probably won't hunt December, when its cold and deer are tight due to dogs. I managed this 10 pt at dusk in early November during the rut!

Very nice Vabiker23518

We don't get to take as many, besides one is enough work for me!

The first buck I shot, and unfortunately I have not seen a single deer since... We hope that one day, possibly, winter might arrive (have not had a good one in the last 3 years) and the snow may force the deer to emerge from their hiding spots during the day. Its is now muzzle loader season, I have to go to the range to be sure my ML is still sighted in.

Spent most of it working, no pictures for me. :thumbdown:

Congrats to all of you who filled your tag.:thumbsup:

I'd post a pic, but that tree I shot is a long ways into the woods... and the buck next to it vacated the premises long ago.

Heck, season hasn't even started to get right in the Mid South.
Dang hot weather. Anyway, bucks are looking but does haven't hit the sweet spot yet. It seemed like it was happening early 10 days ago but it got hot and seemed to turn off.

Anyway, my buck hunting has just kicked off.

So far harvest for my family is:
Me - 9 does.
My little boy - 2 does.
My wife - 1 spike.

Our meat supply for 2013 is in the freezer. I have also been able to donate 75 lbs of ground deer in 2 lb packs to a local homeless shelter. After buck hunting in December we may take a few more for family members who need the meat.

Here is my little boys second of the year and second ever taken on Thanksgiving -
