Q:
Well folks i believe i may have gotten the first deer of the season. It was supposed to be a doe but it was a 8 pointer with 2 more nubs on the right antler. He was facing me and i shot him right throught the middle of the chest through a lung and out his side.

Dang, I've got a month and a half to wait before i can go hunting with a bow, much less a rifle. our archery season start Oct 1, and gun on Nov 20. Hopefully bow season will be a little cooler this year.
Congratulations KMB. I like Fruguy have until the end of Sept. before I can start. Again good job.
Lucky! Huntin' season here is a couple months away!
Great job KMB you should post some pics.
Good Job:) Last year i got a 6 point with my bow an i cant wait until september 1 to get back out there
ughhh. end of september here too. Very conveniently though my birthday is opening day- Can anybody out there say new bow!!!!
Congratulations! Like the rest I'm very jealous, my season is not starting soon enough. Definitely post some pics for us.
evspence-
New Bow?
Sounds like a celebration is on the way ...
KMB33-
Congratulations on thumping one!
Kentucky is September 5th.
Picture,we want pictures!
I'm on hold too! Our season starts the 1st of October.
Congratulations on your buck!
Sep 22 for Kansas. Congrats on the deer.
Good job! Its my Birthday, 68 gettin to be al ol'faht.
(Subtle hint for backstraps Heh Heh)
Love that atypical rack on the buck in your picture, my dream is to get the one I keep hearing about but never see in Leavenworth county!
Congrats KMB. Still waiting for season to open here.
October 3 here for archery, October 31 for muzzleloader for me. I am so ready to go now. Congrats KMB, I don't know if I want to see pics or not, bad enough just hearing about you getting one already, and I can't even go to the range till the first of September to sight in the guns.
I have never heard of an august season. This is Iowa? don't see it legal in Iowa. see:
http://www.iowadnr.gov/law/files/huntingregs_card.pdf
I have to wate till october 17th. Congrads on the buck!!!
no one is asking the OBVIOUS question which is: how do you mistake an 8 pt for a doe?
hey, I'm not turning anybody in, but this saga is going like this to me:
"it was supposed to be doe season, but I shot a buck, then the question is how was it even doe season?"
Maybe there is an answer, like if deer are messing up your crops you can kill those, but it seems to me we need to hear what the explanation is.
Sorry for leaving you hanging but i only have pics on my phone and cant get those on the computer tand then they are only of the antlers. As to the legality issue. Dont worry. I have out of season permits because of crop damage. You can shoot does or bucks but a buck has to have the antlers turned into the dnr. As to mistaking it for a doe it was in full velvet against a timbered backdrop about a hundred yards away. He was about 2 so his futers such as nose and neck were indistinguishable from a does. Sorry if i worried you about being illegal. Like you guys are youth doesnt start until mid september
you cand send phone pics to an email account
I only have the basic texting pacakge with witch i dont htink i can do that and besides i only have the antlers though i still wish i could get them on here.
Excellent work. It is gonna be a good time here on the message boards in the next few weeks with most of the archery seasons opening up. Keep the pics coming.
