Team 12 - Judged by12

Leaving for a wedding this weekend in Arkansas, then back home next week and my season will begin. Bow is dialed, gotta touch up the heads and I'm good to go

 

I went out to public land yesterday morning to a spot I found 2 large white oaks dropping acorns. I saw 2 other hunters flashlights in the woods just before shooting light but they setup far enough from me. I setup in the tree in my climber close to where I had seen the 2 shooters a couple of hunts past sparring. Had a lone doe at 23 yards, a skunk, 2 coons, a spike at 10:00am I filmed came to 12 yards and this buck in this pic whom was out of range at 10:39 am. I got this trail cam pic of him back in august traveling with the same spike. https://youtube.com/shorts/bQsg3x272J4?si=JFqHFx98m1arSrXg

 

Took off today to make a move. Buck movement has began to pick up and theres a muzzleloader permit hint this weekend. Why would one not attempt a move? Mess it up, oh well, risk vs reward. Goin to scout and hunt a new public piece tomorrow in the rain. Could be interesting. Anyways, its almost 1st light and acorns seem to be fallin. Aim small, shoot straight and to God be the glory!

 

I'm out of the deer woods til next Thursday afternoon. Work and other commitments. But then it's game on! I'll have 14 of the next 16 nights off. Lot's of hunting will be happening and hopefully arrows flying!

 

Maybe while I'm down here in @LittleChief 's stomping ground, I can sabotage him. Gotta slow down Team 5 somehow

 

How long are you in Wisconsin for? Will you be hunting everyday?

 

Driving to Missouri now to hunt for 5 days. Planning to hunt this afternoon thru next Friday. Will get the cameras soaking and start the recon. Good luck to everyone

 

Good luck to you! Looking forward to some great stories of monster Missouri bucks!

 

Till after Tuesday AM, yes hunting every day

 

Hate passing deer but let this lil dude walk this morning. I finished maybe the last quarter of my climb with him inside 50, pulled my bow up at 30 and watched my walk around for a good 15 minutes before he moved off. Also made a phone call with him at 28 yds.
Praying the big dude in 2nd pic stays hidden with the muzzle loader hunt this weekend.

 

Im in Northern Arkansas this weekend, then Missouri the next couple days on my way home

 

Should've dropped in to central arkansas while you were close

 

I made it out to hunt this morning, had a 2.5 yr old 8 point in the wide open at 30.5 yards at 8am, not a shooter. Deer wernt really moving much where i was this morning. Pouring rain and thunder moved in with the heat so i was outta there.

 

Poplar Bluff area

 

We were in Conway yesterday! Thats about as close to central as we got

 

Chalk up another 50 for Team 12 Saw 8 this morning. 4 were bucks. Let a nice 8 walk. This doe was with him and I let her walk because he was pushing her. They ran off and then she came back a short while later. Called her in with a fawn blate can. She came in on a string and left on the four wheeler.

 

Congrats on the doe? Looks like a good one!
