Hey guys! Well i just got home and had a good time, saw 5 deer (2 bucks,2 doe and a yearling)on the opening morning, biggest one im guessing at 120-125 inches, nice looking deer but not what im after, Saturday night got skunked in another spot I hunt, sunday morning got skunked at a different spot, sunday night saw a small 6 pointer,with a smaler fork horn, monday morning so another small 6 pointer but he was solo, monday night my frioend and I decided to hunt on the skirt of a swamp by a run off stream in some thick nasty stuff , we split up and ended up about a 160 yrds apart,, took my over an hour to walk 200 yards, well i found a nice scrape line and several nice rubs hidden within this stuff and set up not to far from the scrapes,, and didnt see anything,, so i was lowering my bow ,and just about to unhook my self from the tree and start climbing down, when three does came crashing through the thicket, and surrounded me tree, i froze and one doe began to blow at my bow that was spinning a few feet off the ground, so as she stomped and "grunted" I was slowly bringing up my bow, but by the time I got my bow in hand it was too dark to shoot , and had to use the coyote call to spook them away,, got down and met my buddy, who ended up kicking those does up on his way out,, he on the other hand,had a 160 class walk right under his stand, and chose not to attempt a spine shot, so he passed,, for now.. hope to go out in the morning before work, will let you know if anything happens.I am now taking "shots" of the deer im passing on, if I can without spooking them, and will post them soon,
Maqn, I hope you guys are all in the woods and thats why its so quite in here....i havent made it back out, had family stuff over the weekend and have been working odd jobs, but hope to be out by the weekend, will check in again soon, best wishes out there
Not much has happened in Ontario for me so far this year. I'm off to IL Tuesday for a week and then back to Ontario after that for another week. Good luck guys!
Well guys, finally have something to write about, unfortunately it's not a deer down yet. I'm heading out to Kansas next week, leaving Saturday. It's always the highlight of my hunting year, so I'm hoping this year will be no different. At home, I just can't seem to get a shooter to make an appearence. I could have shot a handful of bucks lately, just not what I'm looking for. Anyhow, sorry to being absent for so long, but we wont be silenced when I return. The pics these guys have been sending me are unreal. Stay tuned.
Well, looks like I have one to add to the scorecard. Not a giant, but about 125" 10. Won't get around to scoring him until I get back from Alberta in a couple weeks. Have funn good luck and be safe!
Man , great looking buck, I would guess more then 120's thou, he has some nice mass on him! congrats, ill be back and fill you guys in on my weekend,
Thanks man! His tines are pretty short on the left side, so he won't be more than 125. Good luck and tag a monster!
Well I worked for my buddy last week guiding clients on his 15,000 acre lease, the weather was in the 70's so the deer movement was not good at all, with ten guys in the woods we were seeing about 4 deer total in the mornings and nothing in the evenings, pat reeve and nicole jones were two of the ten, and they got a several phone calls that the front which finally hit us on the weekend was already hitting in the midwest where they had tags to fill, so they pulled out, and by friday night the weather was right and deer were moving, we had three deer down by saturday night, two bucks and a doe, both bucks were around 120 inches, and doe was about 200 lbs, I got to sit in a new area saturday night and saw three bucks working a scrape, none were shooters, upon leaving that evening , I was lowering my gear and got my head smashed by a owl, felt like someone hit me in the head with a football, if i would have been standing he would have knocked me out of the stand for sure,, Im heading down to my place this weekend with the wife, for some alone time and bowhunting, should be a good time, as no one has hunted there yet this year. will keep you posted. talk to you guys sunday night.
