Big Thanks to John Clough for having us, great time, great guy and awesome properties as well. Ans big thanks to my posters as usual. Without them it wouldnt happen here........

ruttinbuc Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Too bad you couldn't connect, Tim. I hunted with John a few years ago and couldn't close the deal on a bow hunt. I saw some good animals I wish I'd had a shotgun for. That is how it works, I guess. I hope to get back out there at some point. John is certainly one of the good guys!

Tominator Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 It ain't about the kill.... Always fun following your hunts Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 The wind was a killer Friday and Saturday. Seeing 50+ deer is actually pretty good considering the weather conditions. I don't think I seen 20 all weekend, and only one of them was in the afternoon...everything else was morning movement. Will you be going back for the second season?

Tim Andrus Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 nope mad at Illinois! lol naa really have to work second season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Didn't they read the script? I think you should fire the deer! Not doing there job. What were they thinkin! Then again, John must have forgot where he tied them up. lol ...seriously though that is why we call it hunting. general concensus seems to be the phases of the rut are lagging a little bit. Better luck next time. Where and when's the next stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i'm your huckleberry Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 it's a bummer in alberta too no movement until last week when the mercury went to the negative side. that has to be the key for whitetail across the N A continent, ended up taking a140 that was chased out by a big one, when skinned him out ribs were really badly beat up.

Ethan Givan Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 The weather has been terrible here too. Very warm and windy here which has caused deer movement to be almost non-existant during daylight. general concensus seems to be the phases of the rut are lagging a little bit. Yep I would agree with that. Rut was supposed to peak around the 14th I think, but last weekend was definitely more pre-rut type activity.
