How is your hunting going, how is the rut in your part of the world, are the bucks locked down and breeding the does, or are they still moving hard? How much you gonna get out Thanksgiving week? Send me your stories and pictures, and/or post them in your region of the BIG DEER Rut Report, some cool stuff in there, check it out.

Good luck everybody, still a long way to go in this season, keep your spirits up even if you haven’t shot a deer yet.

Great PA Bow Buck

Posted On: November 20, 2008 | By: mike hanback

Mike: Nowhere near big enough for your site, and actually one of my smallest deer. But this was one of my best hunts ever. Wife and I had a rough couple of months (she got laid off), I’ve been working a lot of extra hours (cutting WAY back on my hunting time) and we depend on deer meat. Would have shot a doe, but he came through alone and we were down to 20 pounds of meat.  Here is a link to the whole story if you are interested: www.pahuntingzone.com. Have a good one, and best of luck with the rest of your season. Chad in PA

I wrote Chad back and told him that while we all strive for a big buck, the size of the animal does not always matter. That’s a great buck he killed for the meat, for his family, for the right reasons, way to go man. Good luck to Chad and all you Bloggers as we work through these tough times. Keep your head down, plow forward, work hard, hunt hard, eat more deer meat.

Blogging Saskatchewan: Giant 5x6!

Posted On: November 19, 2008 | By: mike hanback

Monday...minus 3 F when I got in stand in dark...9 degrees when I killed the BROW TINE giant at 1:36 PM...7mm RUM and 150-grain Scirroco Bonded bullet...kick-ass TV show for Versus. No drop, but me happy :) Notice the deer hair frozen to the scope; laid rifle against the deer, the Nikon froze to it!
