Zizzer59 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Finally saw some bucks......as I was halfway down the ladder. Had a doe and a button buck in the food plot for about 45 minutes and I decided to climb down after they left. Should have waited 5 more minutes cuz halfway down the tree I had 3 bucks walk in. One stayed in the plot for a few minutes but the others didn't hang around too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine Hntr Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Good luck with your son MCH, I'm sure deer or no deer you'll have a good time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Get out there and enjoy your season guys, mine only lasted 1 sit, but with the wolf situation here, you really don't have the option of passing anymore. Next week that buck may be a fuzzy wolf turd! Edited October 16, 2014 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrj3514 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I haven't been able to go as much as I'd like between rain, school, & some other things going on. We have been getting ton of pics, including bucks with some being in daylight, but my daddy & I have hunted a combined 7 or 8 times and he's only seen one doe. I haven't seen anything.

Ravin R10 man Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 been trying to fill a turkey tag....good excuse to be out in my stands with all the leaves in color, and northern Robin migration taking place. Alarming thing is the few deer I am seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I've killed two so far, a spike opening morning and a Doe yesterday. Waiting to post the pictures for entry because I've got 7 points coming in regularly. Spike was first one to walk out on opening morning, so he got the Muzzy moment.

Ravin R10 man Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Congrats SS....that's what I did ..smoked the first buck in...usually it's a doe..but we have NO doe tags for N. Wis. this year...they gave them to the wolves instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Thank you XT. That stinks XT about the Doe tags. I hate the season opened so late from what I am used too. Early September in GA and NC . Good thing is we can kill a buck and a Doe a day here!!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Congrats SS! This weekend is youth weekend so I've been taking my son, Chase. He doesn't like hunting mornings so I've been able to hunt those by myself but with no luck. Chase has missed a button buck and an 8 point with his Barnett crossbow. Would love for him to have harvested one of the two, but I love the fact that he's getting the experience so early. We're breaking out the .243 tomorrow for his last hunt.

Straight Shooter Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Good luck to you and Chase tomorrow. I only saw a spotted fawn this morning, going again this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Had deer on us literally the whole sit last night. There were two yearlings and a doe feeding on acorns when we walked in. We squatted down behind a tree and Chase used my summit as a gun rest. We sat there for 30 minutes without the deer getting closer. A young 8 point jumped the fence and chased them off. We used that opportunity to get in our stands. Once Chase had climbed into his hang-on, I sat up my summit and had just gotten situated when the buck ran the deer back into the oak flat. Chase really wanted to shoot a buck, but they never got closer than 80 yards and never offered a clean shot. A doe and button buck jumped the fence behind us and the button proceeded to bed down about 20 yards directly behind Chase. After about ten minutes or so, the doe started feeding away towards Chase so the button finally got up. Chase tried to get on the doe as she walked by but couldn't find her in the scope(too close). So he settled on the button buck and dropped him in his tracks at 25 yards. Blew out both shoulders. He was pumped! The doe ran behind us and then made her way back to within 2 yards of my tree. I had drawn back on her, but she was way too close for me to take the shot. I would have hit my stand with my bottom cam. Anyway, we were done with the evenings hunt in about 2 hours. Chase never once played his Nintendo DS! Which was a miracle because that is the only thing that keeps him quiet and still! Next weekend is our Blackpowder opener, but I'll be in the tree with my bow. I did manage to see a shooter buck chasing a doe Sunday morning when Chase slept in but he wouldn't stop in my shooting lane. Had him at 20 yards but only had a small window. Wouldn't you know the doe stopped perfect but the buck had other ideas. A small 8 did hop out in front of me at 20 yards and stood for 5 minutes. I think he was looking for the big un and his doe. I doubt she was hot, but they got the rut on their mind at least. Next weekend should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Wow! That sounds like a great evening. Congrats to Chase!! It was a good but slow afternoon for me yesterday, will go out mid-week this week. Great hunt for you guys:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) We went somewhere? Then we came back?...how did I miss that?... we still don't have a team name?...and we are still second with number of views, second in points. That's about to change.

MCH Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Shot another doe this morning but the coyotes got to her before I could. I only waited an hour because I knew the shot was good, but they'd already tore up the hams and had her guts strewn everywhere. A buddy of mine killed a 195 inch non-typical Saturday. He hunts a lease couple miles from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zizzer59 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 That's a shame. Gonna try and go tomorrow afternoon. I have to attend a funeral so not sure if I will have time. The rut should be coming in a couple weeks here so hopefully I will be seeing some better action. Good luck guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 That sucks about the yotes. I did take another Doe this past Saturday, no bucks during the daylight hours on trail camera. Maybe November will get them moving daylight hours. We do need to come up with a name, if anyone has an idea let's post them up and take a vote. Hunting High Camo Squad Blood Letters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
