Jorden Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Been extremely slow here. No one I have talked to is seeing anything for action. Havent had any of our big bucks on camera for about a month now. Getting worried they may have been harvested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RackBlaster Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Been extremely slow here. No one I have talked to is seeing anything for action. Havent had any of our big bucks on camera for about a month now. Getting worried they may have been harvested. I think the rut came early this year, when I was up north in the second week of Oct. I seen bigger bucks chasing Doe's hard late in the morning which I have never seen that time of year, and here in IL , they have been killing alot of big bucks since the 2nd week of Oct. which normally does'nt happen to this time of year. Last weekend I seen a giant with a doe in the middle of a corn field on lock down for over 3 hours, which is what is probably going on up there. I know the deer were in rut here 2 weeks ago when I shot my buck, I hope things pick up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Things have been difficult here to.. saw my first shooter this morning. I was running late. Walked out the door & there he was.......standing on the edge of the corn field 50 yards away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Team 5 - Dropin' Tines Posted a doe for us tonight. Unfortunately my hitlist has been crushed this season. Grumpy was hit by a car. Wide 8 was shot head on in the chest and wounded Friday morning and goalpost was gut shot Sat night. Neither goalpost or wide 8 was found. Dang neighbors taking bad shots. Wide 8 might live but goalpost can't live through a slug in the guts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Sorry to hear that Hoosier! Passed on 9 different bucks in the last two days. Alot of chasing going on.

USAFbowhunter Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well I am back from my 2 week hunting trip to Illinois and on the first evening I got this 8 Point and then the next evening got a nice doe. We saw alot of huge bucks on our place but couldnt get a shot at them. I will get him registered when I find my camera with pics of the tags and I will also post more pics from my trip.

hoosierhunter Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 USAF another great buck for you! Year after year you put a good one down. Conrgrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFbowhunter Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Thanks!! I have some pretty good property up there in Illinois to be able to get bucks like this without any scouting and in only 2 weeks up there a year. Imagine if I lived there and could scout alot more. I was trying for the twin to the one that the guy across the street got. Saw him a couple times but no shot. I also had a nice 14 point come in to 40 yards but he wouldnt give me a good shot and he made it past all 3 of us. He was 33 yards from Laura and a turkey trying to roost broke the limb and almost hit the buck in the face when it flew down. Then he came to me and was at 40 yards but stayed in the stuff i couldnt get a shot and then went to Bills stand and was 40 yards from him and Bill got a shot off but he hit a twig and missed by inches so that buck has a guardian angleand I passed on a nice 140 class that was at 10 yards broadside because he was headed for one of my friends stands but he ended up bypassing it and didnt give her a shot. 14 point Edited November 20, 2012 by USAFbowhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Shot a cull buck this morning. A 2.5 year old 9 pointer, will post some pics a little later. Got to get him taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny_gun Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I shot a doe on Saturday. I will post the pictures shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Dang. Now i need to get one. It kind of sucks when you cant drive to go hunting. If i could drive i'd be out there everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Here is a picture of the buck I got yesterday. I've got to get the other pics down loaded for the score board. I'm still sitting in hopes of a bigger buck. Shot him using my Remington Model 30 express Springfield 1906, a rifle that belonged to my grandfather, then my father, eventually it will go to my son.
