arrow32 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Team 2 - Antler Addiction That's great! It's starting to get a little better here. Had some good actio there Thursday night but the rut just ain't in full swing yet. Hopefully will be soon thinking maybe later this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 yea things are kicking in here in NY too. nothing much to report this past weekend. although my dad and brother spotted some bear working on through the property. sounds like they could've headed into this swamp and right by one of my trail cams. i'll check it tomorrow when i'm there after work (after dark). tonight i believe i'm headed to the archery shop to setup a new stick bow that arrived at my door.

Ravin R10 man Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 saw the buck Im after last eve..was on my way to Fire/Amb. Finance board mtg and there he was standing right on the road, got him in the headlights and got a real good look at him..probably come home from logging job early and sit late today as we have rain/snow mix and I cant do any combining today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swohiodave Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Went out saturday and called a nice looking 8pt to within 50 yards but he avoided the opening in from of my like his life depended on it!!! I found out the guy that stole my camera card also helped himself to my other camera card as well. This means it was a hunter on the farm for sure as my cameras are in woods on each side of a road. I saw a pic of an old wide 8pt he shot on the farm and didnt tell anyone (someone found it on facebook and sent the pic to the family). I reported this theft to the owners wife and am going to let them deal with it. Hopefully that was the last straw and this guy is gone. My buddy is going to speak with his aunt about it as well as he is the one related to the owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 had two smaller bucks come cruising through my set..they are on their feet and covering ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just a quick update. I haven't seen anything I wanted to shoot yet, but there seems to be plenty of doe and small buck this year. I did see a wolf Sunday afternoon, but unfortunately he saw me at about the same time and took off not offering any shot opportunity. It would have been nice to fill my wolf tag. Also, had the chance to watch an ermine out on a hunting foray and had him come within a few feet to check me out. With a cold front moving in at the end of the week, the rut heating up and the probability of more snow there should be some good hunting next week. Good hunting everyone!

deer slayer Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Team 2 - Antler Addiction I don't think I'll be able to enter my deer because I don't have a picture of him with a tag. It was dark when I tagged and called him in so I couldn't take a picture, then when we got him home I took it off because where I hunt we have to cut the head off the deer to be tested for CWD and the game warden don't want the tag on the deer. So we fill out a paper that we give to the dnr with the head. I think I still have the filled out tag somewhere but it ain't on the deer.

Ravin R10 man Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) guess your priority wasnt with the team then.. one would think you'd get a pic somehow..hope you can at least get a doe on the board, or upgrade with another buck if you get to shoot more than one... we need every person to put up pts or you dont have a chance Edited November 13, 2012 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deer slayer Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Team 2 - Antler Addiction Ok yeah I still have the filled out tag so ill give it a try, thanks! And yes I still have more tags, in Illinois you can get as many tags as you want with bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) do what you can..we really need your deer to be counted..thanks! on another note..got my tower back up today, after a wind storm took it down this summer. only a few days from gun opener, got my brother to come help get the base built, posts dug & set and squared up with a base to set the tower back on it. Used skid steer with pallett forks to right it..get under it and lift it up and back onto platform..and just had to back out from under it, the post were allowed to be higher than the platform so they held the tower as I backed away..then i just had to screw in the torques head screws to stabilize it all. Then took an hour with chain saw to brush my shooting lanes back out,,Im back in the hunt!! Got ashleys tower and heater ready too. Now if I can just get the last of the corn off and disk chisle the ground by Friday i can relax!!!

swohiodave Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Well.....the owner of the farm i hunt on confronted the guy that stole my camera cards and showed him pics we have of him in an area he is not supposed to be hunting. Come to find out he has a stand in that area. My cards appeared in a card case wedged in one of my stands. I was told he is not allowed to come back next season, excellent news! Friday I saw a buck chasing a doe and that was it. Sunday I had 4 does come up behind me and a button buck but no shot. I was in my climber about 40 yards up from my ladder stand and the deer were right on me but i was facing the wrong way. I saw another 8pt about 60 yards up hot on a trail.... i scoped out a tree to hunt off of that trail, again about forty yards up from me to the other tree.
