LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE:
Bow Hunt or Die Tim Conley
Well, folks, social media is such a wonderful platform because a lot of people put does and spiked bucks and every once in awhile somebody put up a wall hanger and Tim did that so I reached out to him and here he is on the show. Bow Hunt or Die Tim Conley
Tim, we might as well start right off with, tell us about that buck. That’s the buck of a lifetime.
Tim: Well, it’s a good buck. I had a few bucks I was watching on trail camera. Obviously, a four-year-old mid 140s buck is not a buck you’re gonna pass around here.
I think the deer had a lot of potential for next year, but with Indiana having its first year for a radical season. I actually shot him the first day of gun season with a bow, I was bowhunting. Bow Hunt or Die Tim Conley
I’m a hardcore bowhunter
I’m a hardcore bowhunter, but you’re not gonna let a deer like that walk. But reviewing trail camera pictures that I had a couple of other deer that I probably would’ve rather shot and let this one get a little bigger, he had some potential. They were older deer, but this one kept haunting me over and over and over.
The story of this buck is a roller coaster ride from start to finish. It’s been quite an adventure, I guess, I’ll say this season.
I film for the bowhunting.com the this is my second year filming with ’em. When you enjoy bowhunting, when you enjoy watching bowhunting shows, and you get the itch to do that and you get the opportunity as Todd Graf and the crew there gave me, you find out that self-filming is got quite a bit higher difficulty level than what it looks like when you watch it in the show.
Most of my roller coaster with this particular buck had a lot to do with trying to catch it all on camera. I didn’t have a lot of deer activity for the second year in a row, didn’t have a whole lot of summer deer activity here on my small farm.
I hunt about 40 acres of my own property. It’s a good 40 acres I’m tucked in around bigger properties, where all the activity comes through me. I’m in Indiana, I’m the corn and soybean country, so those forage Eagle Seed soybeans that I plant that brought all the deer in, makes it great for late season when all the crops are harvested.
It makes it great, really, when soybeans and stuff start maturing field soybeans. Because forage soybeans stay green until the frost kills ’em. That lets the deer move in.
ut summertime activity, that just kinda free-roam them deer got all they want. Set and you wait, and you wait and you wait to see what’s gonna show up and really the activity didn’t start until toward the end of October as far as trail camera stuff.
But of all the bucks I seen, this deer probably had the nicest rack. Just a beautiful rack, big, tall tines. Like I say you kinda hoped in a way he didn’t show up, but you sure wasn’t gonna pass him if he did. He became the deer.
