Ok here's a question 4 u All. I'm sittin in blind rite now. Have'my seen a deer in 4 sittings. Have em on camera so I know they come by. Do u guys grunt or use the Can call just 2 c if something is out the there & hopefully responds Or do u use them only if u see a deer?
Well that takes care of that. It's 1030 & the neighbor has started shooting. Dang it. Oh well tym 2 move my blind anyway.
Dang it. Well thought all that shooting would scare away the deer. Well I scared a 10pt r when I left my blind @ 11am. He was coming towards blind when I was approaching a fence they cross.
well my archery season over until dec 26 thru jan 9th 2016. all in all me and my son had a great season we both got a doe had some awesome sighting! can't wait until the 2nd archery season opens up. my new Sitka suit really help me out and we'll see how it does in the winter time. the dr. never call about my heart test (so I'm taking it as good news?) but on the other hand it's been only 4 days since I had the test...mmm
just got back from getting the stands out of the woods. I let my son take down his own stand for the first time ever and he did a great job.
I got a few more days before gun season opens sat. Rain expected next few days. the rut is on full here. quite a few people I talked to this weekend said they seen bucks chasing does all around. Hopefully I connect mon or tue. come gun season the deer on my property go to Florida for the season!
dang it! I had 3 small does come out into the field by me this morning and ended up making a terrible shot on one of them at 35yrds. I'm not sure what happened. Either I really pulled on the trigger or my cam touched the top of my blind. But I ended hitting it high in rump. The weird thing was that the arrow was sticking straight up as though I had shot her from a tree stand but I'm in a ground blind. I am pissed at myself for such a bad shot. I haven't missed like that in about 20yrs. There wasn't much blood where I shot her and almost all of the arrow was out bouncing around. I think she circled back onto the neighbor's property then back on to mine in the woods to the south of me. I heard a deer blowing several times in the woods with the other 2 does that remained in the field. They looked like 1 yr olds and couldn't figure out what happened to the other doe. I think it might have been her. The other does then looked to the east on the neighbor's property and then took off in that direction. Well that will end my early bow season as the farmer was discing up the field where my blind was. Which means any soybeans on the ground are now buried. Hence no deer feeding and my knee still can't take uneven ground. Man thought I'd at least add 50 pts to the team.
Saw one of my target bucks Saturday evening, could not get him to come the last 40 yards I needed. To my surprise he was not cruising, scent checking or anything rut related that I could tell. Two doe bedded on hillside and he walked within 20 yards of them and never bothered to check them out, just kept heading for the field. He looked as if he was on his normal "heading to the Field to get my evening dinner walk". Next hunt is Friday Be safe Dave
Here he is guys it was a pretty awesome hunt sunday I posted the details on the forum. I still have to score him but I'm guessing 120-125ish hopefully haha. I LOVE KANSAS is all I have to say lol
Scorecard is updated. With TheChurchArcher's buck we are very much still in this thing!! It should be a close finish!
I haven't scored him yet plan on it tomorrow while I'm cleaning deer meat. After I killed him sunday its been a blur of a week with coming back to work lol
