Stunning deer. Congrats.
No Shortcuts. No Excuses. No Regrets.
Everybody's selling dreams. I'm too cheap to buy one.

Re: Early Season Giant with Recurve
Beautiful buck.
I love how your fletching color are picked for helping the shot placement and arrow recovery. At least that's how I would explain it. Small details matter.
You don't have to be the best, just do your best.

Exactly. Pink is the only color not in the woods at some point of the season. Really helps in low light

Re: Early Season Giant with Recurve
MOBB, would you be willing to draw up a sketch of the bedding layout? Sounds interesting...

The brown peninsula is just that. It was artificially created decades ago is my assumption. This photo could be old and does not show the transitions well, but it is full of taller grasses and weeds now. This area is about 10 feet high and creates some good bedding and thermal effect.
Buck bedding and travel is in yellow
Stand position and my travel is in Red
Brown box is the main bedding I was targeting
Green is freshly falling acorns these big bucks were heading to
Why I was here when I was here? I used a combination of observation and sign checking in strategic areas that let me know there were big deer using this bedding area. Simply put the area is money. I actually shot a mount worthy six pointer in here last year on November 10th with my recurve that bounced off the shoulder blade. He was fine and got even bigger this year. My targets were him and the big buck I was lucky enough to get a shot at. I did not expect him to be bedding where he was in this instance.. I knew I was in the game but I also know he used the main bedding to the north a lot too.
I will also say this about the setup. The area where they travel to the left of the peninsula is also a possibility of bedding exit. It's playing with fire at times knowing they can and do go both ways. I relied heavily on my scouting that told me they would be going to acorns not some distant food source. I gambled and it paid off..

Private. This is not a big area and it is the only private I still have left to hunt. This place is good for maybe 5 hunts a season if a guy is smart about it. That's it.
Some years there is good deer in here but others not.
