Calling All Deer Hunters
Someone out there got to have a deer story. Maybe not killed one but at least a story.
I am not a deer hunter but have heard a couple stories at Quantico game check station. Pretty good deer kill so far, deer looking healthy.
So far had 3 hunters that have had black bears within 30 yards of thier stands but did not have a bear tag.

Re: Calling All Deer Hunters
Been hunting the farm in Prince William Co. lots of rubs and plenty of acorns. Passed on 1 small buck and have seen a couple does. The real story is the amount of turkeys seen the couple days I've been out!!!!

Re: Calling All Deer Hunters
I've only been out once so far. Including myself, we had three people on our lease on opening day and we hunted from sunup to sundown. I was the only person to see a deer, a three pointer. I did see a group of jakes, about 8 of them. During the evening rain I had a family flock of 12 come by on their way to roost.

Found this one a couple Friday's back. Shot from the edge of a ridge with my crossbow. He was a 140" 9 point, weighed 165 pounds. I have pics but can't get them to reduce small enough to put on the site here, 256 KB max. Vince
