backwoodsbowhunter Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 If my math is correct we now have 73 points! Only 4 points behind he leading team which means we need a doe kill to gain the lead. Great job team keep up the good work. I'm glad I was finally able to help put up some points!

maddhunter Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Good job guys !!!!! looks like I'm not the only one have fun. I really thought I was going to upgrade my ten when a a little freak we had been watching for the last 3 years stepped out. He had crossed the pipeline where my son was hunting on the other end of the forty, he texted me that there was a heavy horned buck comeing my way. Ended up being a 7 with some stickers broke off. Still proud of him though. Didn' figure he was gonna make anything more since he was atleast 3 and maybe 4 years old. I shot him with my slug gun 870 Rifled slug barrel, Hornady SST slugs. That slug sure did a number on him. Went about 75yrds and died in a wheat field. First deer I have taken with my shotgun, needed a little more challege. Going after a doe with my Springfield XD Tactical .45 ACP now, and the bow of courseI am now tagged out on bucks and doe and yote hunting now til cat season opens Dec. 1st. Good luck to those who haven't scored on a deer.Texan sounds like you need to take a up up north here, a little better weather up here.

elkoholic Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Wow, some of you guys have been having a great season. Wish I could say the same, but the hunting has been a tough go here. Besides working to much (11 to 13 hour days) with little hunting time, the weather here has not been the best. I did manage to fill my tag on the 20th, a hard earned buck taken while still hunting, but compared to some of the brutes taken by the rest of the team he is not a great scoring deer. Just five points, smallest buck I've taken in the past 30 years, but he should be good eating. I have seen absolutely no sign of an active rut this year and the wolves have been keeping all the game animals on the jumpy side. This weekend is the close of the season and I might get out with the son and daughter to see if we can get them a buck, but everyone of us is fighting colds and coughing our fool heads off so I'm not so sure of our chances. I guess I should get some pics posted so we can add on some more points. Almost forgot to take a picture of the deer and me before butchering and I couldn't believe how tired I look in the picture. I must say our team is doing pretty well. Congratulations to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well, I'm still sitting on zero. The rut is wide open here, but I still haven't seen a shooter. We had an incredible amount of wind over the weekend. Lots of trees went down and I had a couple of stands blown apart. I doubt I'll get to deer hunt much, if any, next weekend. It's the opening of pheasant season and I always make a trip up to the Texas Panhandle for that. Congrats to all you guys that are getting their deer. I'll try to get something on the ground between now and the middle of January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hey Todd your deer hasn't been counted yet. Have you entered it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 ok boys its game on again...starting monday I have 3 weeks off and will be hunting hard....wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Just got back from 3 days at the ranch. Saw 6 or 7 small bucks, but nothing even close to a shooter. Still have 3 weeks of either sex season left and then 2 more weeks of doe/spike only after that. It's pretty depressing around here. Been hunting for 10 weeks without a single sighting of a shooter buck. Things aren't looking good right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ohio opens 2 more days this weekend for gun law.I will be out deer hunting on saturday but sunday we are going to Lake Erie duck hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Finally saw 2 decent bucks this weekend. I spotted them across a canyon at about 500 yards. I thought about taking a lob at the biggest one with the 7 mag, but there was a 10 mph cross wind and I didn't think I could pull it off. I watch them feed for about 10 minutes and then decided to try making a stalk on them. I dropped off into the canyon and lost sight of the deer. When I got to where I wanted to be, they had moved....down wind of course. As soon as they saw me they took off and the last sighting I had was their tails going over a hill at about 1/2 mile. Oh well, at least I know where they live. Also saw another smaller buck twice this weekend that was dragging a leg. If I see him again next week and he's still not walking on it, I'll probably shoot him for meat. I don't like shooting 1 and 2 year bucks, but in his case I'll make an exception.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Shot a couple of does over the weekend. I'll try to get my pics up on the entry thread later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Congratulations on the does! I can almost smell the steaks on the grill from here. Sure wish we had a late deer season, but I guess I'll just settle for coyote and wolf hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00DodgeGuy Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Just checkin' to see who still has season left. This weekend is the last one for Illinois although it is highly unlikely I will upgrade what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Its over for me except for shooting does, and I already have two. That's plenty for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well it was alot of fun guys. I think if Todd makes it back from where ever he is in time to post his 9 point we should win.

Spanky72 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well team, My season has come and gone. The first time in 7 years I come up empty. Had some good times in the woods. Just the deer where not here like they were in the past. Had two close(but not close enough) encounters with big boys in blackpowder. Congratulation to everyone that got a deer this year. And it has been fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwoodsbowhunter Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I don't personally know Todd but I hope everything is okay. With some luck maybe he got something to pull us into the lead!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Last weekend was Ohio ml season no luck for me.I still got late season archery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 This is the last weekend of doe only season, but I don't need any more meat, so I think I'll sit this one out. Went hunting for one species or another 19 weeks in a row. Time to give it a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
