  7. i always wanted to see different states do this but have not seen it done yet. Since i am from n. Indiana i figured i would start a post for us indiana hunters to show off their deer and stories. So help me out indiana boys and keep this going! It is very interesting to me to see the quality of deer to come out of our home state.attached are the deer we got out in wyoming and a trail cam buck of one of the bucks i am after.
  8. I wish i could turn back time!!! I went out saturday morning and saw a 150" and a 180". That night i sat in the same stand and the 180" was back out in the corn with a hot doe. The next morning the wind was still good for that stand so i went back to it. I saw a few little deer right at first light. Once they moved off i blind grunted and used the can. It wasnt 2 minutes later the 180" was 55yds. From me looking hard for the calling. He worked a scrape at about 40 yds. I didnt have a shot at that point and he started to move off so i gave him a snort weeze and he locked up . Then he kept walking away and i did it again and he b-lined straight for me. He got within 15 yds. And locked up looking for the other buck. I was at full draw and he glanced up at me and didnt see me but i knew he thought something was wrong. He was quartering to me pretty hard and i settled my pin right behind his shoulder and released. The arrow struck and he bolted off. He made it 300 yds. Before i lost sight of him. I knew something wasnt right so i gave him 5 hrs. To lay down and hopefully expire. I got a few buddies rounded up and started on the blood trail. We trailed him for over a thousand yards and he jumped up @ 10 yds. I came to full draw and waited for him to get in the open. He was about 60yds. Away and i let it fly. It was headed directly for his spine and at the last second he turned right and cut hair off his neck. The search continued through the cornfield and we jumped him up again. At this point we were just trying to push him to exhaustion. Long story short we never caught back up to him. I gathered 3 of my buddies and the land owner whos property he ran on to and we did a body search the next morning through the huge swamp. We found nothing. What i would do to have the opportunity to redo the shot. I hope he is still alive and i can put him down for good come firearms season.
  9. i'm liking what i am seeing !!!! i also spent the afternoon on stand on one of our properties in steuben co. and was blown all over the place all night! i was sitting over a standing corn field. i spotted a great 3.5 yr.old,135" 8 point bedded in a clearing in the corn. i could have easily stalked this deer all things considered. i did this knowing there are alot bigger deer in the area. i opted to let the opportunity pass and right at last light he ran by me at 12 yds. i also hunted on the 28th and rattled in two small bucks. it seems that tonight should be rocking tonight on stand. im gunna bang the horns and hope mr. bib walks out of the corn to investigate. good luck to all!! i will keep ya'll updated once i let the air out of him!!
