Re: Youth hunt deer Way to Go!

Re: Youth Season 8-Point Thank You All Very Much! Here's part of my story if you would like to read it, We arrive at our next woods and I walk down to the back side of a timber slashing and wait for my Dad to come through. I find my spot and the waiting game begins again. It’s wasn’t that long actually before I see a buck bound from the slashing, he’s a good one too. I raise my gun and take a shot while he’s still coming partially broadside. He then goes into a walk and stops to my left at 20 yards. He was looking around, wondering what was going on I think. He didn’t see me even as a fumbled to get another slug into the chamber. I had the gun on him again, either a neck shot or a shoulder shot between 2 trees. He wasn’t going to step forward a few steps into the opening so I sent the second shot between the trees. He still stood there! My last slug is in the chamber now and he goes running down through the woods. There’s no place for a shot, so I quickly reload, (a mistake I learned from last year). Here comes my Dad and I step out to where I sent the second bullet and it wasn’t in the trees, but there’s also no blood. My Dad asked if I hit him and I said it looked like he was some what limping as he ran off, but he didn’t act hit when I shot. We followed the way he went and I point to the splatters of blood on the ground. There’s more and more as we go a few feet ahead, then I seen movement, the flick his tail back and forth. He was lying on the ground! He did get up but he wasn’t going anywhere. We were standing over him in the next few minutes and I couldn’t have been happier! He was a nice 8-point, not as big as the other we had seen but still a shooter. Turns out both of my shots hit him. One was behind his shoulder but a little low, liver shot. The other hit square in the shoulder for a lung hit. Course my Dad did have to tease me about shooting between the trees, he asked me if my plan was to bounce the bullet off of them and hope it hit the deer? LoL It just wouldn’t be deer hunting with out this! As we started dragging him though the work began. We’d go 40feet or so and stop to break, and we had a long way to go to the truck. Field dressing should make him lighter, not a difference though and we had to take him up a hill yet. We finally got him far enough that we pulled the truck down to him, and heaved him into the bed. Later the next day we processed him and he weighed in at 170lbs. My Dad even found part of the bullet in the shoulder so I kept that. He’s being made into trail bologna now, with the exception of the tenderloins. Thank You Very Much for Reading! Laura

8-Point Thanks Thayer! Here's part of the story, this is where I get him. The full story is in my Journal.

It was just me and my Dad yesterday. We stood for a short time in the morning and then started our drives. It wasn't until 3:30 that this guy was mine. I'll post a full story later on.

Re: Digital Trail Cams I just saw a Moultrie 100. 1.3 MP but really it didn't sound to bad. Anyone ever use them before?

Re: Stealth Buck Bombers struttinhoyt, I hope your plan works out! WGumz, CONGRATULAIONS! Check your PM. Laura

Just curious but can the same person have last months high score and this months high score?

Re: Digital Trail Cams Decisions, Decisions

Re: Ross County Ohio Giant WOW! Congrats to her!

I've been asked to look around for a good but cheap digital trail camera. I seen Dick's and Gandermountian have a couple under $100. But they don't tell you a thing about them. Have you guys had any dealings with these Cameras, Good/Bad? I'm just fishing for info on them so anything is helpful. Laura
