Ky deer rifle season
#1
November 9, 2024 Opening day of KY deer rifle season.  To me it's like being a kid waiting on Christmas to come.  Who's pumped about it baby! I know Ol Kong here,  can't be the only one excited about it on this site  Wink

Are you a trophy hunter,  a collector of deer antlers,  with a wall full of mounted deer heads,  trophies? 

Are you a meat hunter,  not picky at all,  no matter the size,  if it comes by I'm taking a crack at it,  you can't eat those giant horns anyway?

Or you like Ol Kong here,  both a meat eater and a collector of deer antlers? My household will eat usually anywhere from 1 to 3 deer a year.  Whenever we run out we always wish we had more lol! I'll usually take a crack at whatever comes by,  regardless of size,  or being a doe,  or regardless of antler size.  Overall I'm not a very picky hunter.  Unless I know a big buck is in the area,  then I'll focus on it for the most part.  According to Miss Kong,  I better not be having anymore taxidermy bills,  or she might explode lol!

Do you have any deer hunting traditions with your family or friends?  Do you camp out around your hunting spot? 

Do you have certain weather conditions you prefer hunting? I prefer frost or snow.  Seems like it's hard to get a snow during rifle season at times anymore. 

Supposed be kinda warm this weekend the last I checked.  That's okay.  My dad's in his 80s,   that's about the only way he can stand to hunt. Maybe this will help him get to go some. 

Are you seeing plenty of deer on your trail camera's?  Or are you like Ol Kong here,  I've never set up a trail camera in my life.  Guess I still like to do some things the old school way lol!

Is there anything else you want to add? 

Just outta curiosity,  have any of you taken a Boone and Crockett, Buck Masters,  or Pope and Young deer? I never have.  I have had two chances at deer like this.  I found a way to blow both of those chances! It's been twenty some years since both of those situations happened.  I've still not gotten over neither one of them  Big Grin

Good luck to everyone that's going hunting and stay safe.

Here it is just a few days before season starts,  and I'm sitting outside in a pair of shorts! That's wild! Feels kinda hot outside. 

Still seeing some pretty good deer sign,  rubs and scrapes.
