hoosierhunter Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Va that's one of the most impressive deer I've ever seen. Honestly words can't describe that deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hoosier its the biggest buck I've ever seen around here. Just hope he sticks around. He's on a 3,500 acre property we hunt but he's staying only 600 yards or so from the highway. I pray he doesn't get hit by a car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hunting starts this weekend for me then it's off to Kansas one week from today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 thats sounds great hoosier. i have hunted the past 3 weekends about and hour away from home so there is no point to drive back mid day only to turn right back around and leave. And i have been waking up at 4 when i do go hunting and been staying up till bout 10:30- 11 that night. With the help of 5 hour energy of course lol.

hoosierhunter Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Now that velvet is stripped I've located 3 of my 4 hitist bucks on one property. The non-typical I posted hasn't shown, but that's what he's done every year since 2008 and he comes back late. I have both the big 8's showing up during daylight and I pretty well have their core area pegged. I think they are going to be very killable. The big 10 went MIA for almost a month and now I just picked him up heading back to bed in the center of the property! He's a stud for sure and the biggest deer I've ever captured on camera on this farm. I still haven't made a decision on whether I personally will kill either of the 8's yet. I've included them in my list due to wanting my father and/or very good friend to kill them. The 10 is where my eyes are fixed for this property.

bowhunter97 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Sounds good. Hope you get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackBlaster Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hey team, I will be heading up north tomorrow night for a Sun. and Mon. hunt. The temps. are going to be great , I hope the winds cooperate. I didn't put any camera's out this year so I have no idea what I might see, but I will put a couple out when I get there because the suspense is killing me. In the past years I passed alot of nice bucks waiting for that big one on the camera and ended up with nothing. I figured this year I would go in blindly and take the first decent buck I had a shot at since I don't get up there as often as I like . Good luck to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well, the weather has turned chilly here. I have woke up to 30's the last couple days. If this keeps up I might actually hit the woods in the next week. The season doesn't start till the 1st of Oct. So we'll see. I might throw a camera or two out in the next couple days or so. I got a call from a guide buddy of mine and he needs some crop damage tags filled so I might get out a little bit this week and give him a hand.

RackBlaster Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 No luck, seen a nice tall 10 pt. coming straight for me and busted me at 50 yds. The wind was all over the place. I had a shot at a couple of doe's and a small 8 pt. , it sure felt like November in the morning with that heavy frost. I will be hunting the IL opener on Monday and next weekend also then back up north for a few days, hopefully the leaves have dropped by then.

I did smoke a yote on Friday night which was fun. Indiana kicks off Monday and I'm pumped about that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorden Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just an update here. Have only been out once the first few weeks of the season. Been monitoring a lot of trail cams more that anything. Trying to locate our bucks from this summer. Got a few pics but almost everything has been at night. Did find a few nice rubs around one of my stands. Been waiting for a weather change before I head out again. Looks like we might get that this weekend with highs dropping down into the 40s by friday. Good luck everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Well the season kicked off today. I went out to the property to whittle on the 13 cords of wood piled up. I had no intention of hunting as the the corn is still standing. I got there and all the corn was cut. And my brother had got a good jump on the wood. So I started splitting....a half hour into it and 4 shooter bucks walking the north side of the field, I grabbed my bow and took off. I got set up where they should have crossed a small opening coming to water. I watched as all 4 of them crossed just out of range. The first buck was a pig around 150ish...can't get out till Sunday evening unless I call in sick of work :stretcher: or the wife decides to cancel all of her plans... LOL I'll keep every one posted.
