HOLY DIVER

We struggled with staying hooked up just like you mentioned , lost several after a few mins of fighting even after trying to set the hook harder! Landed my first jig king on a bass rod and plan on many more !

Came in at 36# Full moon night with a simple headlamp and my 30yo browning setup. Cheap fun!

Still a nice 5pt I guess 😪

Gambler, i too have witnessed this same phenomenon years ago. The buck was so aggressive and violent I was scared to get down I'd never seen anything like it and will never forget it!

As I read the tick comments .

Looks cold and crunchy

I have a friend that smokes himself silly before every hunt but he's not having much luck with it

Score ! Crisp 25° morning for the win ! Chasing 2 doe.. luckily the doe brought him right to me for the 20 quarter- to shot.

Stevie wonder could track that deer 😄 Nice shot !

Canadice 2/17 - First time ever fishing for minnows last night. 20 fow non stop lifting.

Think it was mid 11🤔 running a charchuse j11 behind a mini dipsy. Pulled a lot of lures around that lake but caught mostly browns and bows

2011 hemlock. wished I'd got it mounted for the rarity picture sucks but it was a beautiful golden eye

Anyone else ever wonder what year this thread got started or how , what year it got the most hits and views? Wonder no more ! Started in 2014 when in Robs words " My hope for this upcoming season is to post an ongoing hunting report (on this thread) throughout the entire season. Basically a play by play of the my entire seasonal progression and a ride on the emotional roller coaster in the deer woods. My intentions are to fill these pages with instant updates from the woods, game cam pictures, videos, rut reports, and whatever else that i can come up with. Let the season begin!" Since then it kinda became the all members journal and live report that can have you hanging on the edge of your seat when the rut starts.
