39 minutes for the first audible shot to ring out. Started questioning whether the calendar was right.
Had a doe walking in on the trail I'm on. She got to 45 yards started browsing then took a right turn off the trail and walked away. gotta love it. Haha.
Feels good to finally make a good shot. Had 4 does come in, big one was way cautious. Looked right at me several times and just wouldn't offer the shot. Think I shot the smallest of the 4. But she'll take up more room in the freezer than a tag will.
Good luck! Our 2nd shotgun season started yesterday so ill be in this weekend but its alot better than 16 days.
Just keeps getting better. Took her up to the truck and my uncle and his friends were out in the drive. The buck I shot in the leg opening firearm weekend was taken last week on the neighboring property. Hit it in the front left knee, was still attached but wasn't. Just pulled my trail cam card, has 400+ pics on it. Anxious to view it when I get home but afraid it may have malfunctioned. Back in for round two, temps are on the rise so not sure how long I'll sit.
Just shot a second doe, can't tell if SE bedded down or dropped. Giving her awhile. Wow it happened so fast, had literally just sent a thread asking about my earlier doe in these temps.
Awesome cls!! I hope I have that kind of luck tomorrow with the shotgun. Havent seen anything besides that doe this morning.
A little bigger than the first, could have ha a third but didn't have another OTC tag. Now I have 4 archery tags and two valid either sex still. Maybe I can make it happen in the late season!!
Not quite live, but yesterday was only good for a nap under a tree and hanging with my guys while hunting. only heard 1 shot, and had 6 hunters in the area. 60+ degrees this weekend in Northern IL? This is crazy! I hope it snows soon cause I love hunting in the snow.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like cold weather until the 2nd half of December. You're farther north so you have that going for you. Good luck! I heard 9 shots today and 4 were mine.
Awesome cls! Congrats again on bloodying ur hands today twice. only saw the 1 doe this morning. If only she had taken about 15 more steps towards me I might've had bloody hands today aswell. But that's hunting. There's always tomorrow and I'll have my shotgun with me tomorrow. Hehe. I definitely would've had her if the Ithaca was with me today.
Congrats on the double, I shot one myself but did what your not supposed to do and now gotta wait until tomorrow to hopefully find her. Good day tho started off helping my buddy track a deer and ended with him returning favor. Gonna be a long night tho.
Well I'm all set and waiting for shooting time. Have about an hour till then. Have the shotgun today so let's see what happens. Good luck everyone. Be safe
Thanks, I'll let everybody know regardless. Shouldn't of kept goin last night but oh well. Sitting out again this morning tho good luck everyone and stay safe.
Didn't see anything this morning. Grabbing a bite then gonna do some still hunting for the rest of the day. Good luck all. Be safe
