hoosierhunter Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 My waterfowl hunting got a boost today as I picked up a Remington versamax in Realtree camo. I've been wanting one for 2 years and the right deal finally came along so I jumped on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Way to go Fly on a nice doe, and great shot as well! I'll change 0ur team name! This past weekend went to a bowhunter's festival. They had 4 3D courses set up on ski slopes...lots of walking and lots of fun. Qualified for their final in the treestand shootout and competition course. Won the competition course because they 2 other guys never showed up, and won the treestand shootout after a couple rounds of tying! Had alot of fun:) Season opens in 1 week here!

hoosierhunter Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Activity has been extremely slow on my urban place. I haven't hunted since last week and I probably won't hunt until a front moves through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks hoosier! Got a teach shirt for each win, $20 for the competition course 'win' and $40 for the treestand shoot out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yea, it's been 80's here for several weeks in IL. The big bucks are only showing up on cam in middle of night. Really need a cold front to move in. Will hunt later this week anyway since season opens Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 We kick off statewide tomorrow and I'm planning on hunting urban tonight. We had a nice cold front move in last night so I'm hopeful for some movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 We need a cold front to move through down here it's still mid 80s to 90s during the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 No luck last night. I will be headed out tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Went out last night for the opener. Got to the stand at 4pm. At 5:30pm a thunderstorm moved in complete with lightening and high winds. The good news is a cold front is moving in for the weekend. I don't expect much at the private farm ground I hunt here in IL till November since my cams show very little activity. I got picked for a couple special draws later in October so we'll see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I took a doe tonight. I'll get her posted later tonight. I got in the stand at 5:30 and shot her at 5:35. I hadn't even put my jacket or face mask on when I saw her at 40 yards. She came right in to 12 yards. Beautiful mule kick to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I shot a second doe this morning and got one of them posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Had a spike under me at 20 yards for about 10 minutes this morning. I thought the cold front would get things going but so far it hasn't. Headed to KY again this Friday with my 12 year old son to try and get him his first KY deer. Really looking forward to the trip. I'll be looking to fill my buck tag with my bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
