Stone Cold Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Went out this evening with my buddies grandson. He ended up seeing some does and yearlings before I did across the field. They never got to us. We then saw two on the way out. Here are pictures of his first ever hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Just entered my 8 point so we have a few more points. Blackpowder starts Saturday but I'll be in the woods with my bow. Only have one buck tag left for the year and I want a trophy bowkill. Still plan on taking two weeks of the first of November for the rut. Hope to upgrade by then.

whitetailfreak55 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well guys thought tonight id have one for the wall. Cold front pushed in last night so i was pretty excited about tonight. Im sitting in my stand (public land) and i heard some rustling around so i got all ready and was waiting for the buck to come out and a GUY walks out straight to my stand and asks what im doing(really?!) i said well i was deer hunting but not anymore. He says ok turns around and walks away. So i get down and walk out hopefully tomorrow is a better sit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I will be out this sat and sun all day. I have to get in all I can since I was told today that a surgery is coming for a torn tendon/ligament in my right wrist. I hope to hold him off till after season but we will see.

Mach1 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Other than being a little too windy for my liking, its darn near perfect to be in the woods here. Went out this morning and saw a few does/fawns. Trail cams show that buck movement is still all at night. Got a good wind for the stand I'm currently sitting in, and hoping to have a fat doe or good buck stroll by before dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Passed up a nice eight this morning. Little bigger than the one I shot earlier. But not big enough for my last buck tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Had shot opportunities each of the three times I went out, but all the deer were too small for my liking. There were fawns, 1 1/2 yr old does that were small, and a 1 1/2 yr old buck. Did see the small buck chasing some does around, so it looks like the little bucks are starting to get frisky. All movement I witnessed was within the first and last 30 minutes of daylight. I'll be heading the 2 hours 15 minutes back to my hunting territory again next weekend.

MCH Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 The majority of the movement I'm seeing is after 9:00 in the morning and around 4:30-5:00 in the evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetailfreak55 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Had a really nice buck start to come in last night but hung up to far. I threw everything but the kitchen sink at him for calls and it didn't even make him hesitate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 One more day at work and then I'm off for two weeks! Plan on hunting my lease close to home up until Thursday and then a friend and I are heading up to our lease that's 1 1/2 hours from here in Push county. I have 3 more doe tags and 1 more buck tag. In a perfect world, I'd use two doe tags in Push and then harvest a wall hanger on November 12th(favorite day to hunt). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 My two big fellas are still hanging around at night! Here are the videos then a picture of Mr. Freak who has now became Mr. Freakless! He broke off all the three main beams on the freak side of his rack. Now there is nothing on that side. He was now taken off my radar. Here is MR FREAKLESS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrown Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hey guys, reporting in, I haven't abandoned yall. Been hitting KS pretty hard, I've seen alot of young bucks, but only a couple of machure ones. I shot a 9 pointer, but hit him too high, and the opposite shoulder stoped the arrow, found a little blood, no arrow, so I'm hoping he made it!! Had a NICE 8 coming into a grunt and rattle, then the dang deer feeder went off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Saw one of our target bucks on Saturday but he stayed out about 125 yards. He was alone and didn't respond to any calls. My brother saw him that afternoon but he stayed away again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 First weekend of vacation was uneventful. In three hunts, I didn't see a single deer from stand. Have to work for a little while tomorrow so I won't be able to hit the woods until Wednesday. Thursday evening I head up to bow camp for four days of fun.

Stone Cold Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yesterday morning was a great morning! I had a very huge 8 pointer come in about 6:40 am and my stand popped so he just looked up then walked around me after about a 10 min stair down. I then stayed standing up and I kept hearing grunts across the river where the big 8 came from. I turned back around to see another smaller 8 standing at 50 yards. I then grabbed the bow and figured that he looked good enough for first blood of the year. I shot him at 30 yards with my bowtech destroyer 350! He ran about 50 yards into the wooded timber along the river. I then had another smaller buck come in and he was hopping in the CRP and came to where I shot the 8 and did a 360 and then went around me. A little bit later I then saw 4 does with a smaller buck heading my way. They came in so fast that I misjudged the doe and shot under her. Clean miss and off they went. Here is my buck and video of the little buck turning around. That video was taken with my iphone 4 "2nd to last picture"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzilla45 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Conrats on the buck Stone Cold! I'm off for 5 days of bow hunting. Good luck to everyone that can make it out. Hopefully I'll have some points to add when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
