Evening hunt. Scared one dear as I was walking in at about 330.

If anyone finds a dead buck in 8a/8b let me know. I must have gotten a one-lung hit on one yesterday morning, trailed him for over 400 yards before I had to go to work. Got a full pass-through, he was bleeding pretty good. I can't believe he went that far.

I went back last night with my dog and couldn't turn him up. I'm going to try to jet out this afternoon and check one more area. I was going to go back out this weekend to recover what I can but don't want to screw up anyone hunting.

Just before I shot him


Full Pass-through


Had good blood

Absolutely! One spike and one branched.

In years past, the lake gets so many buck and doe tags as long as they have tags you can shoot deer. I saw a guy shoot 6 bucks one year. That was before you had to shoot two does first.

That’s not the way it is now. Does are as many as there are tags. Bucks are not. I even asked if I take another two mature does first and they still said no.

With that said I don’t see anywhere in the documentation stating that.

I emailed the office for clarification. I didn't read in the docs there was a limit on bucks (not that you want to slaughter everything). It was my understanding that there were a certain number of buck tags that were available and until those tags are filled you can take bucks.

When I checked in my deer the guy told me they were WAY under the target harvest number and encouraged me to keep hunting. I mean they were less than 1/2 of what they needed to get to.

Yeah it’s very confusing. I’m just used to one buck like at other drawn hunts (Granger, etc.) I was done Nov. 17 and asked then. They said no, but I could take as many doe as I wanted. If it’s not documented then I guess it’s not technically enforceable.

Hooray! Hopefully bucks are still holding their antlers by then.

Better setup that blind and take another bruiser! Seems like its your duty at this point.

I was told no, so I’m not shooting another.
