Justin congrats man. That's a hell of a first buck you kidding me. My first was a gnarly little 6 point. I think he scored like... 30" lol. Suncrest. I go hard right until a great buck is down or new years eve. This weekend I'm actually gonna hit the water a little for some ducks and geese. But I'll be at it all season. Sometimes I see some great bucks late season. We are allowed to hunt over Bait in Canada. And typically they need to fatten up before winter and after the rut they lose weight. So you can catch them with there hand in the cookie jar.
Got it done this weekend during firearms. Shot a big doe Friday morning and seen a monster but no shot. Took the boy out Friday evening got to the woods around 230 i took a little nap and told him to keep watch haha. Around 345 we moved to a different area was sitting there for about 30 mins and seen a doe walking are way about 75 yards. I took a couple of shots at her but they were clean misses thank goodness. Then about 20 mins I see a deer coming the same way. I told him it’s a buck and then he started to shake so I said I’m gonna shoot him. I finally got him on the second shot. He was grinning from ear to ear it was awesome. If I was by myself I would let the buck pass but him and I have put in a lot of hours in the stand. He and I will never forget last night. I had to finish I’m off with the handgun. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I took another doe this weekend with the bow and let some small bucks go. It was rainy, windy, cold and miserable. Saw under 10 deer total. I usually see that in the first few hours. I did find this 50 yds from one of my stands. Pretty good find. No chewing and not broken.
Meanwhile my buddy I bow hunt with took his 12 yr old son gun hunting. I told him just to use my buddy stand so he could sit with the little guy and get more visibility. He sent me this and said thanks!
Pretty sure He’s the buck I drew back on while hanging off the tree by my lineman belt and had to let walk cause it was just a bad shot. Bittersweet but I wasn’t anywhere close to there anyway so I’m glad he got him
There was bucks with does everywhere this morning. Hopefully gonna try and get out this Sunday morning for the big boy Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I was out until 11am, saw a small 6pt and 2 doe. Been seeing a bunch wile driving the Turnpike from job to job. I’m off the remainder of the week gonna hunt every day I can.
I’ve got family obligations and visitation with my daughter so if I hunt they will be short sits. Might even just duck hunt idk....
Does anyone else have problems getting it load up for the updates Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
How much time does everyone have left? Gun season is open until the 8th of December I believe then muzzle loader and archery comes back in for another week here in NY.
How’s everyone doing? We still have about 6-7 weeks left in Illinois. I’m not giving up yet. Will try to find some late season food to key in on in the next few weeks
All the deer I see driving home are in cut corn fields. Might try and get out next weekend Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I’m still grinding! In the tree right now, I’m going as much as possible. Still have good bucks on cam and hanging around, I went up camp for gun opener and back home the nephew of the prop owners where I hunt saw a giant 10 point doggin a doe right under my stand. Hahha such is life, if I woulda stayed home I doubt he would have been under my tree. I also shot at a big 10 up camp and hit a branch! Only a matter of time before I connect the dots, keep at it fellas!
Keep at it! My work is picking up but I’ll squeeze it in somehow. Have some time off around Christmas
