Rhino Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Can't remember Dale's forum name but he works a ranch in northern OK. I'm terrible with names too so don't feel bad. Haven't seen Dale here in a while. We're both old grey headed farts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Spent some time Sunday and yesterday going through & editing trail cam cards pulled during our last hunt. Put together these 4 pics of the buck my buddy missed the 1st afternoon. Not sure how many points he has over 1" but he is a main frame 11 point. I know from velvet pics he has split brow tines on both sides, 2 kickers off his left G2 (one short) and a kicker off his right G2. Could have 15 points over 1". Hope we get a chance to tell. Although the buck he killed took the edge off his miss, he's still sick about it. That's the bad part about trail cams. Also had this new buck show up too. He has split G2's on both sides, kickers off both G2's and a kicker off his left G3. Hope he's around when I'm legal to fill my next buck tag on 11/15. I have 1 hard horn pic of a main frame 11 point with 1 NT point. I previously posted velvet pics of him in the photo & video forum but he just a little too far to see him clearly in the new pic. No doubt it's him though. Although I would have to be REAL LUCKY to be able to upgrade my 10 point for the contest, it's nice knowing the possibilities are out there. Hope y'all have the kind of luck I've already had when you hit the woods soon. Shoot straight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackBlaster Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Congrats on a great buck! I had a shot at a nice doe up in Wisconsin this weekend but decided to hold off due to timing.I also heard a couple bucks fighting or sparing pretty heavy in the thicket with grunting and breaking branches right after that doe came out and had one run out, didn't have a shot but he was a small 4 point . I have it on film so I will see if I can post it, I'll be back up there in 2 weeks but I will be out here in IL til then. Good luck everyone.

Rhino Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I spent Saturday afternoon & Sunday till early afternoon learning more about the new place I have here in MS. Had 1 trail cam out & got a couple of nice MS bucks on it. Put out 3 more trail cams while scouting. May go hunt it a few days toward the end of this week. Bucks starting to crank up scraping down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackBlaster Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Well sunday I seen a small basket rack 8 in the morning, and this morning I had 2 fat doe's and a fawn come within range but a large branch that I didn't want to cut down was in the way, next week I will be bringing my saw with me. I will also be setting out some trail cams , since I haven't done it in a couple years. I just hate seeing those giants walking by my stand when I'm not there.:wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Bummer about the limb RackBlaster...you'll get it done. Doesn't bother me having nice bucks walk by my stand. Knowing they did or just knowing they're in the area helps me stay in my stand longer and gets me fired up to be there. As the old saying goes...it can happen at any time! Checked the only cam I had running in MS this past weekend and got these pics of 2 nice bucks in front of one of my stands. Seems here in MS they know when to go nocturnal though. The buck in the background in the 2nd pic is this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 So have we decided on a name yet? Or have we decided to be undecided? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hunted a couple days early last week. Saw a few does and couple small bucks. Did have a nice 8 point feed around and bed down about 80yds in front of me one afternoon. Pulled our trail cam cards and got a pic of a giant that I hope shows up in the coming month. Good luck everyone and congrats on the great buck Rhino!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Here is a pic of the buck we got on our cam a couple weeks ago. Hope he shows when I'm in the stand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nice buck ilhnter...Hope you get a a crack at him. So have we decided on a name yet? Or have we decided to be undecided? Haha. I believe Joe said he was going to let John know we were going with "Band of Booners". I know John has had some issues with the new forum like the rest of us.

The new system won't even let me send Redneck a pm. I left one of those profile messages. I'm sure he got it but I too saw Rednecks thread about him having issues with the new forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he got it but I too saw Rednecks thread about him having issues with the new forum. Doesn't surprise me the PM isn't working right. Heck I have trouble trying to add anything within the text I've already typed. Kicks me to the end of where I was typing. BTW...spent this past Thursday afternoon through Saturday afternoon scouting and learning more about the new club I'm in in MS. Founding some real good looking spots and have all 4 of my 5 trail cams checking out new spots. One is keeping tabs on the deer on the spot where I posted the pics of the 2 bucks on 10/7 here. Took a friend of mine & he bowhunted. He missed a doe the 1st afternoon and killed a doe Saturday morning. In a shallow bottom below a spot where I found deer were feeding on acorns, I found a tree rubbed the size of my calf. About 50 yards from it was a huge tree at least twice that size rubbed. Set one cam where they're feeding on acorns & hope to catch the buck rubbing those trees. Should check the cam this weekend and have a few more stands to set...one there.

RangerClay Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hey everyone, just realized that I forgot to share my doe pic with you. Shot her at first light on opening day. I couldn't help myself, I'm a self professed doeaholic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Remember you saying you shot one Joe...congrats. Looks like she was trying to mow down your green patch. I've got to smack several of those this year too for management purposes. My buddy Skip (who shot the doe at my new club Saturday morning) is the kind of guy who will only kill a buck if it comes out 1st. A doe arriving 1st that comes into range doesn't stand a chance unless he misses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hopefully I'll be able to go out sometime this coming week. My work schedule has me to where I can't hunt mornings or evenings. It's normally a 8-5 shift. So that really don't leave any time to hunt. I'm off Wednesday so hopefully I can get out that day.

Rhino Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Spent most of this past weekend continuing to scout the new turf here in MS. I have ~5 places figured out now to set stands for the coming gun season. The more I learn about this place, the more I realize I need to learn more. Hope to set at least some of those 5 stands this coming weekend so they'll be ready to go when the gun season opens on 11/22. Heading back to Missouri on 10/31 for about a week. I can't fill my next buck tag till the MO gun season opens on 11/15 but my buddy and I will play guide for 2 friends of ours and we'll try to get a few more does out of the heard. After this coming weekend, most of my hunting time will be spent in MO until around Thanksgiving. Hope y'all are enjoying the time you've spent in your neck of the woods.

RangerClay Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hope y'all are enjoying the time you've spent in your neck of the woods. Sure have! Our ML season opened Saturday and I didn't see a deer all weekend but that's ok. I have been busy hunting with my daughter. November will be my time to shine.

OKstate Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I finally had a chance to get in a stand and unfortunately didn't have an opportunity to let any arrows fly. I did get a nice wake up call when I was headed into the barn to get the ATV. Hopefully you guys don't run in to any of these fellows in the woods!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Rattlesnakes will shake you up. I did happen to run into one this past Saturday in MS. One more we don't have to worry about anymore. It was a mature one like the one you killed but only had 5 rattles & a button. BTW...it's a good idea to cut off the head after you kill them. They have an instinctive strike and can still hurt you if they are still moving after you've killed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKstate Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 We did remove the head, just left it on for the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hope everyone is doing well. I'm sitting in the stand now on my only day off this week. My luck today hasn't been the greatest. Truck caught fire while I was driving it. Could have ended worse. Burnt some wires up. I'm gonna work on replacing them and hopefully it will start again!
