All right guys. I scored today but he wasn't very big and I lost a doe to boot. Story is in the BH forum.
How the heck did I miss all this?!?! Way to go on the buck! Bummer about the doe but Horns Down Baby!
great looking buck there. I'm hoping to get out tonight, but it depends on when my plumbers gets out here to help run waterlines. I'd kiss the day off, but I just can't tdo that this time of year...
Congrats on the Buck Ricmur! I set up a mock scrape in the area of one of my stands not far from a scrape line made by a buck. I checked the scrape a few times and it's always open (no leaves) so a buck is using it. I looked around yesterday and found atleast 5 trees the size of a 2 litre bottle all tore up in that area that weren't there a few days ago. I either got a buck really agitated or I just happen to be in his core area. I put a camera on the scrape and will check it on my next hunt at that stand. Probably not for a few days to let things cool down after being in there yesterday. I'm hoping it's the decent 10 point we have pics of or maybe even a bigger buck. Keeping my fingers crossed. Been seeing alot of bucks, just nothing I want to shoot yet.
My brother, cousin & dad will all be rifle hunting this weekend. It'll be fun to have a full camp. I'm still bowhunting though, I'll just be wearing orange
ah we just had muzzle loader here and i didnt even know n i just didnt wear my orange ill prolly do the same for rifle... im not a big fan for the orange
Got a buck down last night...Not huge! but a mature deer. My camera flash wouldn't work so I had a buddy take pics and waiting on an email from him so I can get it posted. I saw alot of activity last night starting at about 5:30. Had a doe come through behind me and she was followed by a small 4 point and the 8 point I shot. I heard the Buck before I saw him back in the thicket snort wheezing and chasing around the smaller buck. The doe came behind my stand at 30 yards and immediately looked up into my treestand. I had the tree between us so she never spooked, but she was smart and knew something wasn't right. She took a few steps back into the thicket and the 8 point stepped out to my right, ears back, all puffed up and started trashing a tree. I looked to the west and saw another buck heading toward my stand and looking like he wanted a piece of the bigger buck. After a few snorts back and forth and some tree trashing the 7 point thought better of a confrontation and headed off to where he came from. Then a small spike on one side and 3 point on the other came a bit too close and the 8 point chased him off. I had my movie camera but had too many eyes to try and get it out. It was a sight to see. 5 bucks and a doe in a 15 minute span. Every one of those bucks were grunting at one time or another. Finally after considering whether or not to shoot the 8 point his aggressiveness towards the others helped me make up my mind and also after passing other bucks all season I decide to let an arrow fly. I sent the G5-T3 broadhead 19 yards his direction hit him I thought too far forward and looked like I may have hit the opposite shoulder as the arrow didn't go through him. I watched the luminock travel with him as he ran back into the thicket. I saw blood pumping as he ran,but was unsure of the penetration. I waited on stand until dark and then headed to the impact spot and found good blood immediately. I decided to give him time and went out to the truck. I went to the archery shop to wait 2 hours before going to look for him. I got a friend to head out and help me search, but it turns out he only went 60 yards and expired within minutes. I got to him 2 1/2 hours after the shot and he was already stiff. I'll get pics and a score as soon as I get them emailed to me. Like I said he's not ging to bring a ton of points, but I'm happy he's atleast got a little age to him.
Alright!! Congrats! More points on the board! Fitz, congrats again on the doe! Tack on another 50 points!
