Haven't got out too much and when I have I've been taking my boy gun hunting. In my hometown gun season ends on Nov. 30 and late bow season starts Dec. 1 so I will get a little time in before the season ends in January. Statistically speaking it doesn't look good as I've never killed a buck in this area after December (they've been gun hunting since Oct. 1) but I'll give it a go because you just never know what's gonna happen. Good luck!
Best of luck to you. Keep after it until the end. Well I just looked at all the teams scores so far....................we are definitly getting our a$$'s kicked.
I'm still here and still hunting. Since my promotion work has been taking its toll on my time in the woods. I've got to get one one the ground soon. Good luck late season guys
I killed an "oops" buck in November that I just need to take the time to get scored and entered. He should go in the low 140's. He was just a baby though and I should have let him go for a couple of years. I also killed a doe in late October but it was an evening hunt and I forgot to get any photos before we skinned her out. I will definitely shoot some more does so I will get one entered. Hope the rest of you are getting to go out some more.
I hope I experience enough success in the future that I can have bucks like that. Right now I'm just working on shooting my first buck big enough to mount. I'm guessing by oops buck you shot a young buck that had a lot of potential to be a huge buck in a couple more years?
Guys, this is my "oops" buck. A nice 3 1/2 year old that needed two more years to be a stud. Lots of potential. It happened really fast, very early one morning and I just didnt take the time to make sure what I was shooting. I guess I just really wanted to shoot a buck with my bow that day. It's just too fun! lol. Those lighter colored racks always look bigger to me than they really are. I knew when he was tipping over 50 yards away what I had done. I felt bad, but was still excited to have taken a decent deer with the bow. The good news is, he is not a deer that I had ever seen, so I guess I killed one of the neighbors future booners. Now I have one buck tag left and will be hunting the late season in the COLD! Good luck all.
Thanks. The sheds are at a buddy's house where we hang and butcher our deer in his shop. He is a shed hunting fanatic and found over 150 this year alone. Over 100 per year the last several years.
Hope everyone is doing good. Im still at it every chance I get. Its cold out but still carring the stick and string though out gun season and ML season. Have not been able to lay eyes on any of those good bucks I'm after. Best of luck to everybody thats still grinding it out.
Late bow season just opened back up here. It will be a few days before I am back out but I will hit it hard again for a while. I have never really bow hunted much late, but have seen quite a few deer while driving around and look forward to going.
I'm hunting this weekend, then I'm done for the season. Hoping for a buck, but I'll take a doe if given the chance.
