Team 23- RAXX Pack

Just got in from hunting. He showed up in the beans at about 50 yards then disappeared when it started pouring rain. No shots but a good hunt. Probably going to give him a few days rest then let her try for him again this weekend.

 

I made a comment just a couple days ago that I had heard snow was on its way, but I didn't see it on the forecast. Well woke up this morning and there was a good 1/4" of it covering everything. It is Ocotober and I am not ready for this!

 

I will be in this weekend and hopefully everyday after work the rest of the week. I had the wind swirl on me last night right when I heard a deer coming in. Got blown off right at prime time, but without the wind swirl would have worked out perfect.
I do have to get a new peep tied in here soon, so hopefully can get that done without changing my sights to much. If need be I'll miss a night of hunting to make sure I have it zeroed in, but would rather not miss a night.

 

How did it turn out? I am guessing 62".

 

Got wrapped up processing and vacuum packing Monday and Tuesday. Definitely going to measure him tonight. I hope he score s better than 50 but I think It will be close. I'm also terrible at guessing scores so he may be closer to 62 like you said. I'll post it tonight when I get done.

Just to add a little something to the contest I am going to order every one a Monster Raxx hat if we win Two years ago our team won and I did the same thing.

 

Don't get excited guys...you don't stand a chance...

 

I guarantee we have a better chance than the Bills PT

 

Just measured. FB was only off 4/8". Final score is 61 4/8"

Jealous PT.

 

Could not have scripted a better night to be in the tree and I was in my favorite stand to boot. Just got a cold snap, snuck it super quite, and the wind was the perfect direction. The only thing that didn't work out perfect was the deer never showed. I really thought I would have a doe on the ground by now guys. I'll keep hitting it hard and it'll happen one of these nights!

 

Man we only have two does on the ground and we are in second place. If we can get some does down we'll be sitting really pretty!

 

One of the guys that hunts my lease was out last night and he said one of the big bucks was on his feet cruising an hour before dark. He didn't hear any grunting but it is getting close. I am going to sit just below a doe bedding area Saturday and Sunday morning and on the point for Zeppelin Saturday night unless a camera tells me different. I have some stands and cameras to move Saturday so a doe is safe that day but on Sunday they are in big trouble

 

Good luck on finding Zeppelin!!

 

Awesome. Should put us right back up there on the scoreboard. Look forward to the pics and story.

 

I'm taking my daughter trick or treating tomorrow evening. Hope to sneak in a hunt Saturday evening at least. Maybe Sunday morning as well. My family is having our annual cook out/ bonfire Sunday so I doubt that I get out Sunday evening. I'm putting in for a vacation in November, so hopefully I can get a buck tagged before shotgun season starts on 11/22.

 

Too many changes are happening and I think the pre rut is beginning. My plan was to start hunting again around November 1st. I will be out for sure Sunday morning and maybe before that. I will still be checking film on Sunday. Can't wait to crawl into the creek stand for the first time this year.

Does beware. I need the meat.

 

Hey can you guys keep your dogs on a leash over here. We got Frenchbritt over on our thread 33 talkin like his lips don't match :p

 

I also need some meat. Used the last of my ground burger two days ago!

 

It's my year to put you in your place.
