good tip.

South Dakota public land.

pheasant hunt

Davy Crockett National Forest. 2:30 pm 25 yds. Most of the other hunters were probably back at camp having an afternoon nap.

Nice buck. Congrats.

Congrats on an Awesome buck!!!

Very nice buck for that area! Congrats!

After 10 years of hoping to get drawn I finally got a permit to hunt the Matador WMA. I shot this 18 3/8" inside 7 points Monday evening at about 5:30 after a long drag I finally got it to the check in at 10:30.
I rattled in 14 different bucks in 2 days the best buck I saw came to the horns and almost run me over. I could not put the horns down and get my gun up fast enough or I would have been posing with a true trophy buck.
The buck in the pictures I shot at a little over 300 yards. Nothing like hearing the gun go off then what seems like 5 seconds go by you hear the bullet slap the animal and watch him drop where he is standing.
The Matador is not an easy hunt. There is very limited road access and lots of very rough terrain making it very difficult to get a deer back to the truck.
My friend that was drawn with me got real sick the first day so he ended up heading home with out really getting to hunt.

Awesome deers

Wish could get ta me stompen grounds, so could put some pics here, ya, it makes people who hunt public land look like they don't know what they doing , it is a tougher hunt though. Best Wishes ta all keep your head held high & your powder dry, & may your arrows fly true, & your quiver be stilled

Were the blue wings to fast for you? Good job!!
