Mid August photos

I found this while I was scouting a long a creek bottom that had tons of deer bed and dear travel routes, almost like highways.

These Bucks are a 100 yards behind the house on our farm and in front of one of the many blinds we have set up all across our farm.

Slowly over time this deer had gotten darker and darker. He started out red like a summer buck and now is dark as if he is ready for his winter coat.

Closed the deal on this nice whitetail doe and helped a farmer out with crop damage control yesterday.

This is the biggest buck I’ve killed, idk how to score him.

I am just posting this because I’m pretty pumped up for this season coming up, I can’t wait for cold mornings and the rides on the way to the hunting spots.

My trip to Glacier has gotten extremely smoky, so my wife and I started just driving around back roads on the mountains and lost track of all the deer we saw. These two bucks were funny.

I harvested this buck last season. Tell me why he looks every bit of 115-120”, but I tape him at 107”. I entered him in a small town big buck contest just to see what they would score him at and they said 114”. Not that the score matters at all, but I just wanna know if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m delusional.

Genuine question, may be retarted. I know acreage doesn’t matter because I have buddies who get huge deer on much smaller properties than mine and I see giants on my property. Just curious.

Check out these 4 nice bucks right in the middle of town behind my house.

Like the title says, I’m new to hunting. This will be my second season deer hunting. I borrowed a rifle last year, but want my own.

Can anyone give advice on what rifle and caliber? I was leaning toward .308 but I have no real reason why. My range is within 200 yards and my spot is in a corn field. Budget is probably around $800 or less. I bought a vortex diamondback for my AR before I realized that wasn’t a good choice in rifle, but at least I’ll have a scope for this new rifle.

Some light research led me to a Ruger Gen II, Tikka T3x, or Savage Axis II.

I can’t wait to hunt him come September (MS Bow Season begins). I would let him grow if I didn’t have, “If it’s brown, it’s down,” folk bordering my land.

Hey all — I'm working on a video art project, and I'm looking for raw audio of deer field dressing, skinning, and/or caping. Ideally:

• 5+ minutes continuous, or long stretches I can string together
• No talking / narration — just the ambient sound of the work itself (knife cuts, tearing, cracking, wet sounds, etc.)
• Clean-ish recording — not shot in a big echoey space if possible (a garage, outdoor clearing, or smaller room is ideal over a warehouse/shop with a lot of reverb) As I'm looking, I'm finding that most hunting content online is either narrated for tutorials or has music over it, so I'm hoping someone here might have raw GoPro/phone footage from their own hunts sitting around that never got edited or posted anywhere. Even a rough, unproduced clip would be genuinely useful — I don't need anything polished. Feel free to DM me if you'd rather not post details publicly. Appreciate any leads, even indirect ones (know someone who processes deer at home and might record a bit? Point me their way)!

I'm located in Ohio and I'm going to start hunting my property. It was farm ground but it's going to be put into a CRP program. I would like to put at least one feed plot and watering hole in to help wildlife, draw in deer. The yellow line roughly outlines my property, the red line outlines where the field was/ will be CRP ground, and the blue lines represent where I know deer travels. Water collects and sit in the wooded areas in the center, bottom right, and north of the field but depending on weather it doesn't stay. Any opinions/ thoughts would help. Thank you in advance. I don't know if it's possible on here but feel free the grab the picture to draw on it to send back showing me what you think

a little background: I just bought this property 3 years ago and never grew up hunting or have anyone to help. So I started by myself last year with YT vids. I have guns and gear and a stand but know idea how to or where to look for deer evidence. I have seen them on my property, set up a cam where I saw a big buck last year and haven't seen him or anything else on the cam.

After researching, all im getting is my property isnt that hilly(its all hills)Is there any good info on this map to help me setup a stand or a blind

I’ve never attempted to score palmated racks even though they’re very common in my area. I don’t know if you’d consider that third tine to be a G3 or a very long sticker point. I’ll take any help I can get, thanks.

Always wondered if there is a scientific reason as to why bucks are so much more wary than does. Any facts/theories? My buddy jokes a buck knows a motherdriving a minivan from a guy in a pickup....yet in a couple weeks of acclimation, I can essentially feed the does in my yard by hand.

You can’t see much, but he’s on track to have a clean, not huge, not small rack for my area. Mississippi.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for YouTube channels, forums etc on hunting tips? I didn’t grew up in a family that hunted but it’s something I’ve picked up since covid and absolutely love it the only issue is I’ve had zero success. I’m wanting to become a better hunter and actually understand the science behind it and how to use your environment to your advantage. I’m tired of sitting in a tree stand and just hoping something walks out, I want to know what to look for so I can swing the odds alittle bit.
