USAFbowhunter Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Good Luck Bowhunter97 I am just a couple hours west of where you are going to be. We just picked up another 80 acres to hunt here too so will be putting out feeders and cameras to see whats on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I passed on a nice young 8pt last night right at dark. It was one that the landowner passed on in bow season. However, I noticed after shooting light that the buck has a bad broken front leg and was limping very bad. He looked to be in bad shape so the landowner is going to meet me there this afternoon and I'm going to see if he comes back out and try to take him. If he does the same thing it will be a 300 yard shot but I feel confident I can make it with my .308. In the shape he was in I don't know that he will go far. Just hope we see him before the coyotes do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Im up here now. I got here about noon and we got drawn early so we went and scouted. We jumped one deer where i was going to hunt anyways. It is tore up with doe tracks, bucks and hog sign. Im hoping i can lay one down in the morning. After all it is the first weekend that this is open for the year. So no pressure+great spit= might get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Took the landowner with me last night and we saw the same buck again but closer. We mulled over it and decided to give him a chance. His left front leg may be broke. He wasn't putting any weight on it but was getting around ok. He's such a young deer with GREAT potential that we hate to take him out this year. Guess we will keep an eye on him. On a good note... while watching him after shooting light was over we had 2 more bucks come into the food plot and one was a good shooter. Nice sure exactly what he was because it was dark but he looked wide and was a real big bodied deer. I'm going back again to see if he will come out before legal shooting light ends tonight. I will shoot that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I didn't see a deer Fri or Sat last week but I did kill my first coyote ever on Sat. I will try to get in a couple evening sits this week and get back at it Saturday. Bucks are starting to group up again and they are also hitting the food plots but its at very last light or at night. We need to get some colder weather I think to get these deer out sooner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hey guys. I finally put a buck on the ground last night. Didn't find him until this morning though. He only went 50 yards but went a different direction than I thought. I shot him at 270 yards with my .308. My first buck with a rifle. Pretty stoked. He only has 6 scorable points because he broke a browtine. He's 19 1/2" outside with 10 1/2" and 9 1/2" g-2s. I'm having trouble getting the pics loaded on the entry page but I'll get it straight at some point. Finally got a deer for 2012!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Team 5 - Dropin' Tines Guys I'm starting to hear up for the extended urban hunting season. I highly doubt I take a buck, but who knows as I haven't ran a camera on the property yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny_gun Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Well I connected with an 8-point tonight. It is my first buck with the Muzzleloader. It is a minor upgrade in points for the team from my shotgun 7-point. It was a great way to end the NY Deer Season! I will try to get the pictures posted tomorrow.
