    Pa season ended today, had a few close encounters this year but I just didn't get a shot off. Looking forward to the late archery season though, let's get it done team 1!!!

    Awesome team! Of course the year I'm on a team where everyone is killing things is the year I don't have a buck on the ground.

    Our season ended yesterday. Rifle starts the Monday after Thanksgiving and then late archery starts after Christmas.

    Hey guys .. I shot a 142" buck last Saturday with my Mathews Halon ... it was opening day of gun season here in Indiana ... it has been quite a week .. it was a hard quartering shot @ 19 yards .. entry back .. but .. business end of the Black Eagle in the correct spot ...
    problem was .. with no exit ..& gut plugging the entry ... you know the results ... !
    After 4 days of grid search .. I was finally able to find him .. ..obviously the coyotes had fond him long before me .. INDNR required I tag that buck .. I don't have a problem with that at all .. but do to the nature of the recovery .. I failed to get my Mathews back out for any of the pictures ..!! thus .. not meeting the stated requirements of this contest .. I don't know if any exceptions are allowed or not ..? Sorry if I blew the points for us here ..
    None the less .. I never gave up .. I knew it was a killing shot .. & I was finally able to recover him on Wednesday ..

    I have been so busy at work I have not had the chance to hunt nearly as much this year as I would like. Gun season has opened up here and with all the shooting the deer movement has dropped off quite a bit. It was doe weekend this weekend so I decided to hunt on my neighbors back 5 acres. There are always a bunch of does on this property and I was after a doe for the freezer. I was not expecting to see a buck from this stand. Yesterday's hunt was great, I had a lot of action the entire hunt. I didn't get to the stand until 4 pm and by 4:30 I had a small doe come out. I knew there were some bigger does in the area so I decided to pass on the first doe. Within 5 minutes a 4 point comes out and joins the doe. The woods are starting to get loud. I here deer movement all around me in just about every direction. Next comes in 2 more does and one is the one I want to shoot. Before I could draw back another doe with a fawn comes in and all the other deer scatter off. I sit and wait and can here the deer all around me. I here a grunt and through the thick and can see a racked buck but can't tell how big he is. Since I wasn't even expecting to see a buck at this spot I decided I would wait on him to come out. I now have 6 does and a 4 point in the plot all within 20 yds. The racked buck finally decides to come on out and I am shaking so bad I could hardly draw my bow back. With all those eyes and ears around I thought I was going to get busted for sure. Somehow I managed to draw back and put a double lung shot on the buck. He ended up being a 7 point (71) team points. I did not get a pass through and the broad head broke off inside, broke through 1 rib and opposite side rib stopped the arrow from a pass through. I was disappointed when finding the arrow and not much blood. I decided to wait 2 hours before beginning the search. My buddy brought his dog and 300 yds later we found the deer pilled up. Without the dog I would have never found this deer. Great hunt and I am still pumped[​IMG]

    Wow nice Buck Timcon. Did u get the hunt on video? If so that will work for the team points. Stinks about the plugged exit hole and no blood trail. Nice job staying with and finding him. I am lucky to have a good friend with a tracking dog or I would have never found the buck I shot yesterday afternoon.

    You guys are on a roll. Winter is officially here in MN so my hunting gets much tougher. I'll be sticking it out though and hopefully can still get on the board.

    Here's what the rules say:

    3a. If you harvest the deer on film and can provide footage of you shooting the animal along with post-recovery footage including hunting, animal, and bow, that will suffice in place of two photos. Footage must be posted online for everyone to see.
