OH bowhunter recovers his deer A YEAR LATER! 🤯
|
|
> …he lost this deer’s blood trail in a swampy area and never found him. A year later he saw that a guy posted on Facebook that his neighbor found this deadhead and got it mounted. He instantly recognized the deer and reached out to the guy who made the Facebook post and asked if they knew what killed it.
> He told him that it was pretty decayed but they just assumed that a deer this big/famous got poached. Trent explained to the guy his situation and asked the guy who found it if I could metal detector around the bone pile to see if I could find his arrow/broadhead.
> The guy took him out to where he found the deer and after 15 minutes of looking, they found his Rocky Mountain broadhead. The guy who found the deer was the nicest guy ever and pretty much told Trent that he wanted whoever actually shot that deer to have it.
> Thanks to the broadhead he was able to take this guy home ! What a class act👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Most hunters are for sure good people! Love it!

LA first-time bowhunter arrows a MO monster!
|
|
Lovin’ the tall tines on this MO monster! Arrowed by CJ Boynes from LA. He told Buckmasters he started rifle-hunting in 2019 with his son. Soon after, he was talked into dropping some coin on an archery setup by his buddy Jeff Reid:
> “I had never bowhunted before, but I knew it would give me the opportunity to hunt the peak of the rut in Nov instead of just 10 days during gun season.
> “On the morning of Aug 30, my phone sent me the first picture of an incredible buck, the one I would eventually harvest. After seeing that picture I was really excited.
> “Around 7:00, a beautiful 140-class buck appeared and started making a scrape. It worked the scrape for a few minutes, and then it approached to within 23 yards of my stand. All sorts of emotions were running through my mind. If I decided to shoot it, it would’ve been a fine first bow buck.”
> While certainly juiced, CJ hesitated long enough to see door #2 open, revealing a doe in front of a way-bigger whitetail than the one that had tempted him.
> Although he’d never drawn his bow while looking at a buck, target memory kicked into gear. “As the new arrival stepped into range at about 22 yards, I released my first-ever arrow at a deer and double-lunged it.”
Buckmasters scored it at 187 1/8 – amazing first deer CJ, congrats dude!

Antis want to ban interstate transport of…venison?? And antlers???
|
|
Guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the antis will push it with this presidential Administration – info from here:
> The US Fish and Wildlife Service and the secretary of the Interior have been petitioned by 2 environmental groups seeking to ban all interstate transport of wild mammals and almost all birds, warns the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance. That includes all parts – such as meat, hides and antlers – even if they’ve been properly processed by a butcher or taxidermist to comply with current CWD transportation laws.
> This means your annual deer or elk hunt with family and friends may not result in a cooler full of venison crossing state lines to fill your freezers at home. And that record buck won’t be going on your wall if you shot it in a state where you don’t reside.
> The Center for Biological Diversity and the Natural Resources Defense Council are leveraging fear of covid-19 to push forth their anti-hunting agenda with the petition, which explains that “pandemics caused by zoonoses – infectious diseases that jump from animals to people – are entirely preventable.”

Lol but please don’t think their action is random or that they don’t think they have allies in Interior and/or the Administration. We and our reps need to fight it.
Also, remember that some states are supposedly finding covid in deer (2 examples: MI here, PA here). So…is there an agenda? Could they ban deer hunting “just in case”? 🤔

FL buck scraps with his dead buddy! 😱
|
|
> @hunterbakerrr sent in this video…said he stroked his first-ever buck with a bow yesterday – a really nice Hendry County 10-pointer – and as soon as his deer hit the ground another buck comes and locks up with him. That’s pretty incredible footage man! Glad the second buck didn’t plow y’all over on his way out of town!
🤯 🤯

Lottery drawing is Aug 26.
Deer, exotics, fishing and a whole lot more.
$32 mil list price, 2,239 acres, spans 5 counties! 🤯
Bear in mind everything was slower last year but still:
> Sturm, Ruger & Company Inc. (NYSE: RGR) announced today that for the 2nd quarter of 2021 the company reported net sales of $200.1 mil and diluted earnings of $2.50/share, compared with net sales of $130.3 mil and diluted earnings of $1.05/share in the 2nd quarter of 2020.
> …Saturday, Aug 21, from 8:30 to 11 am at the government vehicle compound south of the Lake Shelbyville Administration Building. Approximately 80 climbing sticks and treestands, including climbing stands, single and buddy ladder stands, portable lock-ons and climbing sticks, will be auctioned.
> But just how severe those population declines will be, and where they will occur, is the subject of debate among experts…from southeast AK to MX. But Jim Heffelfinger, AZ Game and Fish’s wildlife science coordinator, says even with drought the future for deer looks generally good.
Impressive:
> …126 of the 128 archers competing were using Easton X10 arrows….
Scheduled so they don’t conflict with deer season.
…and hunters say that’s crazy talk. Fallow deer are an invasive species:
> The Australian Deer Association said the plan was a viable strategy for Tasmania in the same way Star Wars was an accurate documentary about the 1969 moon landing. [Lol!]
> State co-ordinator Scott Freeman said statements over future growth of the state’s deer population made within the report were absurd and alarmist. “A report released just last year put the Tasmanian fallow deer population at 53,660 with a net growth rate of just 5.4% per year”….
15. 2A stuff
PSAs: Keep your eyes on….
> “It’s traditionally always been about managing the natural resource itself. In today’s society, humans are dominating the landscape…. Conservation Social Science recognizes that we need to start managing people, not just the biological and ecological aspects involved in wildlife, forestry and agriculture.”
They are going to try to start managing us??
Somewhere anyhow, and looks like rural folks will inevitably get hit most by it:
> The infrastructure bill sets aside $75 mil for grants to state, local and regional transportation departments to be used on VMT [vehicle mileage tax] pilot programs. $50 mil will go toward a national VMT pilot program.
> Section 13001 of the bill authorizes $15 mil in grants to be disbursed by the Secretary of Transportation every fiscal year from 2022 through 2026 for the purpose of establishing pilot projects at the state, local, and regional levels that “test the feasibility of a road usage fee.”
> …VMT proponents still haven’t decided whether the VMT should replace or be assessed in addition to existing federal and state gas taxes.

> Featuring a compact design that’s comfortable to draw, stable to shoot and powerfully accurate, the NV-32 is a showcase of next-generation engineering built for bowhunting greatness.
> Engineered with a rock solid backwall, the NV-32 is the ultimate bowhunter-friendly design, offering draw and holding weight options to match the archer’s shooting style.

> The NV-32 roller guard, string stop and limb blocks stifle dynamic vibration for a quiet and smooth shot every time.
Measures 32″ axle-to-axle, weighs 4.15 lbs, peak draw of 70 lbs, and up to 85% letoff. MSRP is $799.99. Could be interesting….

> As is generally believed, the size of the rub has a lot to do with the size and maturity of its maker. If the rub is the size of a person’s finger and the tree is only barely skinned up, the rub was probably made by a 1.5- or 2.5-yr-old buck. Young bucks do not make a lot of rubs unless older bucks (3.5 yrs old or older) are noticeably missing from the area.
> Velvet-shedding rubs. In general, the older a buck was, the larger the sapling that was rubbed and the more damaged it was. Fresh rubs made in Sept or early Oct are likely to have been made by mature bucks in their home range. Velvet-shedding rubs are a visual sign, posted by a mature dominant buck on his territory.
> Buck travel patterns can be identified by their rub lines. Such rubs can usually reveal a buck’s direction of travel. In other words, where a buck has rubbed a tree will tell you from what direction he came. It could be an indication that the trail/travel corridor was used in the evening if the rub is away from the feeding area. Rubs that face away from bedding areas are usually used in the morning.
> Position yourself downwind of the rub that receives the most attention or near the spot where the majority of rubs are found in a small area.
> Bucks’ bedding areas may be located very close to their rubbing clusters. The buck may be in the staging area where he waits for darkness to fall. It’s a good place for a stand when you see rubs from different times, which indicate an older or mature buck.
> A random rub out in the woods may not be connected to a travel corridor, a trail, or any other buck sign. Rubs of this type were probably made by bucks looking for a doe in the country, so they’re of little use to hunters trying to pattern a mature buck.
