MUDRUNNER Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Still some bowhunting left to do here, but I probably won't be able to get out this weekend. It looks like I'll have to work tomorrow, and a steady rain is in the forecast for Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I didn't get to hunt during our last short trip to Missouri. Spent all of the 2 days we were there trying to get things in the house as organized as possible. They still aren't quite finished but at least we could move into the bedrooms. No more cold nights in the barn. Headed back again Wednesday to try to get more stuff straight in the house in rooms that weren't finished when we had to leave yesterday. With our 2 guest coming in Friday, I'll play guide to one but I'll be hunting too for sure next Saturday. That's the start of the MO muzzleloader season and I'm going to put the bow away & break out the .50 cal ML and try to give it a workout.

MUDRUNNER Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Good luck with the smoke pole Rhino! I had plans to go out this Saturday, but naturally they have a 60% chance of thunderstorms in the forecast. Hopefully that changes and I can get out for a few hours. Sunday we're taking the kids to the Vikings game in St. louis, so I may not get out at all this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Just checked the weather for where I'll be in MO Mudrunner...40% chance of thuderstorms Saturday...wonderful. Got 4 ground blinds out but we'll have to put our guest in the ones the wind's right to hunt. Got 2 more blinds in the barn. May have to set them up for the S wind Saturday when the rain is in the forecast. I may end up under my umbrella if it's not too windy. Looks OK after that except a bit on the warm side. Leaving early tomorrow morning so we'll have time to finish getting the house straightened out. Meet with the closing attorney Friday morning on the 2 pieces of property we're buying adjacent to the ones my buddy already owns. After that...relax & hunt after the guest arrive. Well except I'm doing the cooking. BTW...internet was hooked up last Friday so if I'm not tied up with entertaining the guest, I'll have a chance to check in from the happy hunting grounds on my laptop.

HUNTINGMAN Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Good luck this weekend rhino, we need about a 14 pointer from you. Stay dry and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Nothing new to report here. I sat the edge of our biggest food plot Wednesday but nothing materialized. Going back out in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Pretty slow in the mornings here in MO. Seeing plenty of deer in the afternoon but no mature bucks yet. Lots of action yesterday afternoon. Saw 39 deer hunting a cut corn field & 13 of those were bucks but nothing even big enough to scratch my head about shooting. Was fairly warm for this time of the year & windy too. Cooler this morning but still windy. Wind is supposed to die down this afternoon.

Rhino Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Saw 1 decent buck while in MO before the snow storm & high winds arrived Thursday. No shot opportunity at him though. Came home the Friday. I'll hunt in MS next week after Christmas. Should be the peak rut time here. We'll see what's running around the MS woods next week.

MUDRUNNER Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I managed to get out for about 5 hours sunday morning. I seen 14 does, but was holding out for one of the big boys I have trail cam pics of. My season is starting to wind down. I might get one or two more sits in before the season ends.

Rhino Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well teammates...hit the MS woods the day after Christmas. Strange rut going on here. Chasing is sporatic at best. However...I did manage to kill a mature buck Saturday afternoon. Not the one I was wanting but a big old mature 6 point...18 3/4" inside spread & 22 1/2" main beams. Using the jawbone aging method looks like a 6 1/2 year old buck. Heaviest buck to hit the scales at our camp so far this year too. Didn't want him in the gene pool anymore. Got home about an hour ago. I'll get the pics, etc. submitted today. Heading back to MO for the last hunt up there of the season on either the 2nd or 3rd. After that I'll still have some time to hunt in MS before the season closes the end of January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Yep that's a pig 6! Good job Al! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Atta boy Rhino! Congrats! He's a toad. The rut seems to have been very sporatic around here too. It's just been a weird year as far as deer movement goes. I didn't get out at all over the weekend. It was a late doe firearm doe season here in Illinois, and sice I'm done doe hunting for the year I just stayed home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Good job Al! Congrats! I haven't been back out much, sat this past Saturday morning with no luck. General season ends this Sunday then ML'er season starts and runs for two weeks. I hope I can close the deal on at least a doe but its not looking good. Me and two of my buddies are taking our sons camping/squirrel hunting at the end of the month and after that I'll start prepping for fishing season!

MUDRUNNER Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I made it out for a few hours Saturday, but never seen a deer. I walked around a little and found another dead one....little squirrely 6 pointer. That makes 4 dead ones i've found this season. down to the final two weeks of the season.

Rhino Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Still some time left here in MS but I'm taking the weekend off. Don't see much sense in hitting the woods with temps going into the mid 70's along with a good chance for more rain. I'll catch up on my "to do" list this weekend so I can spend some time in the woods toward the end of the week through next weekend when the weather is way more conducive for deer movement. Season goes through the end of January here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Guys...I ned to apologize big time. I had a horrible year. Not a lot of deer on my property, and I didn't get the chances to huntthat I have other years. I never got back out after Thanksgiving morning. I passed on a 6 pointer witht he bow, and a 5 pointer with the gun this year. Those were the only shot oppurtunities I had all year. I feel bad, like I let the team down. Once again, I'm sorry.

MUDRUNNER Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 It's all over here. Yesterday was the last day of the season. All in all I had pretty succesful year with a nice buck and two does. It looks like we're a little short on points this year, but it was fun none the less.

Rhino Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 This weekend is the last one of the season here in MS. I'll give it a go but it was slow last weekend. Mature bucks were mostly nocturnal. We have a couple of teammates that have been absent for a while. Wonder what's happened with their seasons. We haven't heard from MonsterBuck48 since 10/6 and he'd just started hunting. Haven't heard from whttlbucksteve since 10/24 either when he mentioned taking 10 days of vacation to live in a tree. Maybe they'll check in with a couple of bucks. Who knows. Anyway...been fun sharing the season with y'all. By the way...the buck one of our neighbors in MO killed (real nice guy) was this one I posted pics of back on 10/8. It made B&C & fullfilled a live long dream he had to kill a booner. Anyway...season's over in MO but we have a lot of survivors that will just be bigger up there next year. BTW...just so you'll know...if I see a hog during a hunt this weekend down here before a mature buck shows up...FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Well...you can stick a fork in me...I'm done for this year. Saw 1 doe and 1 pig in two days. The pig didn't survive the encounter. Been great sharing the season with y'all. Time to relax a little before I hit the woods again to loosen and pull some stands. Got some post season scouting too.
