S*&T happens mobow. Still meat in the freezer bro. Lot of season left. You got more buck tags? Anyway, congrats again. Success is success.
Yeah dude, a couple of those pics turned out really neat. I do, indeed, know a pretty good photographer. :D Thanks, Bobby. Oh yeah, I have buck tags a'plenty. Now.....if I could just find the bucks......
Congrats Don !! Not much to add here. I saw the tall tined 6 pt Saturday night but not in range. Sunday warmed up and the deer didn't move until dark. Tim
I had 3 does step out last night right at dusk @ 35 yards. They were headed the other way and it was pretty dark so I let them go. I see the same three deer almost every time I sit in this stand. The first weekend of our season I passed on them, every other time they were either out of range or it was too dark. I know what I am going to do this weekend is to move where they seem to be headed everyday. I'll get one of them this weekend I hope. I need a south wind though.
Chalk another 50 points up for the team. I shot a doe tonight. Blasted batteries were dead in the camera so I had to wait until I got her home for some pictures. Should have cleaned up the doe a little better for pictures but it is what it is. Beautiful evening for a hunt though. I had my Montana Decoy ( doe ) setup hoping to have a buck come check her out. The doe I shot suckered right in once she seen it. 7 yard shot. Was pretty neat having the doe focus on the decoy since I was hunting on the ground. At that range otherwise... you make one tiny wrong move, noise and you are busted. Here's a cell phone snapshot of the decoy. Tim
Way to go TIM! got the text ... HEY SINCE WHEN DID U GO PREDATOR camo on me..! love it bud, now go kill that big tall tined 6x6
Awesome! I'm hoping to connect sat evening. Gonna put up another stand in the afternoon, and hopefully get lucky. anyone seeing any good bucks or at least shooting at any?
Atta boy Tim!! Congrats on a fine doe. I have perfect wind for a spot I've been waiting for the right time to hunt. And today I've got it and the time is right. It's a scrape line between a thick bedding area and a destination bean fieild. Guess we'll see. I'll be in the tree fairly early this afternoon.
Hey guys just letting you know I smoked a doe tonight, I sat about 60 yards off a field edge with bedding area's on both sides it started out slow but the evening picked at first I had a few doe's come by out of range then about 5:15 p.m. a smaller doe came by and with an itchy trigger finger I decided to take the shot I made a nice shot at 30 yards. I'll get the pics up later................But I am just glad I could contribute to the team 50 more points for team number 9!!!
I suppose I better fess up... we should of had a buck on the score board last night. I botched a 30 yard shot at the 6x6 last night. I've hunted him some where around 12 times this year which means well over 25 miles of walking into and out of his area and 30 - 35 hours of hunting him. I couldn't have asked for a better 12th hunt with rattling, grunting and the doe decoy to get him in range. Just an awesome hunt the way it unfolded !! Well if I would have left the decoy at home... I would have had a 10 yard shot but even with him being a little leary and moving out... the 30 yard shot he offered should have been a chip shot. I shot under him... he was standing broadside. Arrow was clean. You couldn't have asked for a better shot. I knew something was wrong the way he ran away. He run a little bit... stop and look back... tail up. He acted like a deer spooked but not sure what happened. I had a sinking feeling while watching him with a silent dammit what did I do. Not sure what I did wrong as I had used the right pin and had previously ranged the area. He was right at 30 yards when he stopped. Definitely wasn't buck fever. I had just practiced a few days before and the bow was dead on. Have to chalk this one up to user error. Sorry guys !! Tim
Tim, better luck next time. I know that made you sick. It happens to the best of us. I know it never makes us feel better to hear it, but it happens. At least you have seen a shooter. I was able to get out Friday morning and seen 4 does on the way to my property and a 2 year old buck on the way home. Nothing where I sat though. My back went out on me Friday evening working on a stinking clothes dryer. Did not attempt to go out today. Scared I might ruin any future hunts. Hopefully with a little rest I can get back at em. Congrats on the doe hunter6742.
Congrats on a fine doe!! Tim. That's a tough break man. What a bummer. Well I had a little fun this morning. At first light I had a fork horn and a 6 point stroll past. They were together which I thought was odd. An hour later I actually managed to get drawn on a turkey and make good on the shot. That's only my second one with a bow and that was fun! Will post a pic later. Back at it this evening. It's turned into a rainy day. Not a hard rain just wet. I'll be close to a thicket that borders a cut corn field. I'm in a corner the deer use alot anyway. Guess well see. Saw 3 does yesterday evening. Things are starting to pick up a little.
