I seen photo's and read about all the nice bucks taken I guess its time to turn the table for the rest of the hunters.I got on a small lease by myself the second weekend of gun season. Set up a feeder and had immediate action(doe,Spike) havent seen a shooter(AR)buck since. I have been every weekend since. Same does everytime nothing else. YOUNG COUNTY i. EXPECTED AT LEAST SMALL BUCKS. Theres a legal broke off 7 pt on camera at nite but thats the most of it. Well still hope going again Sat nite.

I haven't shot one yet. I've seen lots of young bucks, just not any older bucks. I'm going out again in the morning to give it a try again!

I've been hunting twice as much this year as I have any other year and have nothing to show for it. I hunt both Kimble and Harrison county. My Harrison county lease, (10 min from my door to stand) I have seen about 6 different bucks with 4 being legal shooters but not what I'm looking for. And have had absolutly nothing show up at my Kimble lease, which is suppose to be that hill country full of deer lease. O well, I've got one more hunt here at home on Friday and then spending the last weekend of regular season and 3 days during doe/spike week in Kimble county. My last two years the last weekend is when the out of nowhere shooter buck has show up. Heck lets make it 3 in a row.

Well don't feel bad I have 696 acres, fed corn & protein all year (chachinggggg$$$$) and have yet to see a mature buck. But I did see a 1 1/2 year old 5 point that somebody shot the top of his shoulder out. Makes me pizzed when there are so many does and people will shoot a little buck over a doe. (No ar's here but I wish there were). Good luck

grout-scout you sound like me. We don't have ar's in Kimble county and every year I hope that that law would make it out to us. I know alot of people don't beleive in it but it's hard when you walk into the processor and see 1-3 year old 6 and 8 points hanging in the freezers.

Look at the bright side!
At least you don't have to spent several Benjamins over at the Taxidermist!
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

This season, on a new lease, I have shot a nice sized doe, a 145 lb hog and had my crosshairs on an 11 pt buck but he spooked before I could put the smack down on him. All in all I think I had a good season, I have meat in the freezer and the buck may be a 14 pt next year if the neighbors didn't get him.

Haven't kilt a deer yet this year. Not because I couldn't, just haven't seen anything I WANTED to shoot yet. Still one more weekend on the books to try and close the deal.

The only AR legal buck I saw was 1.5yr spike that I let walk, also let a small doe walk on "doe weekend". No sign of pigs since sept-oct pics...STRIKE THREE-I'M OUT Between the wifes new work schedule and my 4mo old baby, I didn't hunt as much as I'd liked to, but I learned a few new things about my place, so Im already game planning for next year!

I got a doe opening morning and that's been it. I've got one more Lamps permit and haven't even caught a buck on a camera this year.
The only deer(as in one)coming to the feeder is a fawn that I believe belonged to the opening day doe, but was no where around when I took the doe, or she would have gotten a pass.
I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

My camera has seen a couple of nice ones feeding late at night. My eyes have only seen does.
Good excuse to keep going out.

No buck here. Saw a 10 and a possible 12 pointer in the old game cam, so I have 5 days to get one.

Unless I get one tomorrow this will be my second year without a buck. I have seen young ones, up and commers and have some good ones on cam. Just havent seen a real shooter in person yet. The brightside is I put one of my friends on his second deer ever this evening. Walking him through the dressing procedure was fun, realizing that my knives are in the truck that I totaled two weeks ago wasn't.

I've seen lots of bucks; they're all 3.5 or younger. The mature bucks have gone underground so far this season. That's ok, with the drought most get a pass this tear anyway. But dang I'd like to get that big Cull 5 pt!

Got some decent ones coming in but usually when I'm not there. Haven't hunted like I usually do. Family commitments. Had a nice 9 that was AR legal come in for 20 minutes or so the other day. Too young though so I let him go. Plenty of future draft choices in the herd just hoping I will be there to see them next year.

Me! But i've only been out twice, and i've seen a few (one nice 8 point) but it was too early in the season. My timing always sucks anyway.

I took a spike and have watched about 10 other young bucks but no shooters. I didn't even see a doe until last weekend and then saw four. I am a klittle concerned about taking a doe in muzzle loader since I havent seen many now.
