So you're saying there's a chance!
Got a spike to cull him out and put in the freezer today. Coincidentally this was the first deer I ever had to track. Punched through both lungs but missed the heart. The blood trail I followed was the size of the yellow brick road and looked like a damned horror show.

That 10pt I shot was the first deer I've had run in about 12 years. I shot him with my .257 Wby Mag at 170 yds and completely shattered both his shoulders and blew his heart into chunks no bigger than a fingernail. Sumbitch still ran 70 yds. Luckily he ran back down the steep ass hill toward me so I didn't have to climb the fucking hill to go get him.

Lucky you... Mine went down a creek bottom and up the other side. And guess who doesn't have a running ATV to go get him... That's right, this guy.

Yesterday morning I thought I heard a cat, and the 3 doe at the feeder were acting a bit strange.

Yesterday evening, me and my son were hunting and he told he saw a cat, but due us hunting out of a 4ft x 4ft blind together, I was unble to look back behind me when the cat passed through. I asked him if it had a tail and he said yes, long as our dogs tail, then I asked how big he said bigger than our small dog, 40lbs but, smaller than our large dog, 90lbs.

I don't think it is a bob cat, which scares the hell out me because on Thanksgiving we were all out rock/fossil hunting and I had no firearm.

We hung a doe carcuss in a tree this morning approximately where he told me the cat passed through, ground was to hard to find any prints.

After this mornings hunt, I will check the banks of the 2 watering holes and further look for any other signs.

Looks like we got a big pussy cat roaming the ranch, found serveral tracks down in the creek, set up a game camera on the doe carcuss tied up in the tree, I'll be back in a couple weeks to check the camera out.

Dead in Hallettville this weekend. Kelli had 6 does too bunched up to take a shot at the eldest one & I only had a young 4 pointer come through... too warm

Saw a couple nice young bucks this weekend. None of the shooters that we have seen earlier. We have a really nice 10 and 11 point that need to come out when I'm around.

Well since we're all set on meat for this year, we decided it's time to do a little predator hunting. Going back in two weeks with my dad's new Foxpro Fusion to see if we can't do a little cleanup.

Spent the weekend at the lease with my dad. He hasn't been hunting with me since I was a kid. Saw no deer or hogs, but drank a lot of beer and had a great weekend.

My house is getting over run with them. I have taken out 4 in the last year but I counted 6 different ones this morning in the front and back yard. I am having to be more careful about my disposal tactics due to some hippy neighbors. The last one I got crawled off and climbed into one of their pipe jacks to die.

Buddy gave me a deer "ham" (bag was labeled) and some elf meat. Anyone got any good recipes?
