I've passed on everything in shooting range. Probably need to at least pop a doe to reduce the population. This is my last year at the vine, so it's up to you guys to down those monsters.
Missed one legal buck early in the season. Winded me and swung wide almost out of range. Tried to thread the needle in an opening around 42 yards. He was a neat buck but no giant I thought he was about 35 and shot right under him. No encounters since. :/
Looks like I’m done for the year at Grapevine. No deer for me there this year, just some pork for the freezer. Watch out for aggressive coyotes out there. Ended with a crazy encounter with a group yesterday. I was stalking a group of pigs midday, got busted at 40 yards. When they ran off about 80 yards their babies got left behind. I was about to set down the bow and grab a couple when the yotes flew in and started snatching them up only about 5-10 feet from me. With all the squealing two of the bigger pigs came charging back in. One of the crazier animal encounters I’ve had.
Good luck to everyone still hunting. Y’all be safe.

Dang. Those are literally slices of bacon. [emoji23] cool way to get them though.
In hindsight I’m wondering if it would have been considered baiting to tie a live one to a tree and wait for the others to come back.?
Lol. I saw your text after I bailed town. The vine wins again. I passed a small buck first sit off of 35 early Nov then saw another within range the next day then I didnt see a deer for weeks. Had multiple chances at does just wasnt looking to do all that work for a fem critter this season. I'm definitely feeling my age now. I'll be back grapevine, I'll be back.
