gzilla45 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Looks like I'm the only one in season right now. Hoping to drop a doe tonight and get our team on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Good luck Gary and the rest of team 2. I'm hunting KY this year and the season is open but I haven't been able to get down there. Not sure if I'll get a September hunt in this year or not. Going to be working a lot more this fall, but hoping to connect on a few deer this season. If team names are still a thing how about Blood Brothers? Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smha6784 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 looks like the winning team to me! Im good with blood brothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I have a week in October to hunt a special draw area. Went out there yesterday AM to start my scouting. Saw a real nice 10 pointer that I estimated to be a 3.5 year old that should be around the 140 mark. Saw another 8 point that would go about 120. Got a long distance shot at the 10 point (with my camera). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Frank he looks bigger than 140 in that pic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 If you remember Pat, I guessed that 12 last year to be a 170 and he ended up at 153. Figured I'd play it safe this year (LOL). The most impressive feature I saw was the spread. It looked like a 20+ inch inside spread. Although the main beams had some length to them as well. Going to hunt every day and try to get a tape on him to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytshooter09 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 looks like a good team my season is open just haven't got out to the woods yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzilla45 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Saw 6 does and a bunch of turkeys on my hunt this past weekend. I'm not a big fan of hunting when it is warm so I'm hoping for cooler temps. It looks like they will be arriving next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKstate Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Our season starts this weekend and there should be a little cool weather moving in..... I'm going to try and be in the stand on Saturday if I can get out of work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Good luck OKstate! My first day will be tomorrow evening. I already have my tripod stand set up for the public ground area I got drawn to hunt. Been a while since I've been so excited for the early season. We had a cold front move in today so I'm hoping for some venison real soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Have been out of venison for a while. The first doe was going down and she did - on opening day. Love it when they fall below the stand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smha6784 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 alright Fly !!!! way to get us on the board!!!! I haven't been out to our place in about a month now. The timber company has yet to log like they said they were. my luck it will be during the season. We put off planting fall plots hoping that they would be done. Loggers or not we are going to plant on the weekend of the 23rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smha6784 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Fly you definitely have some monsters there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Thanks, my best chance to harvest a monster starts tomorrow. Hoping to connect on that 10 point I pictured first - I have a week to get it done. Hope they timber before the 23rd smh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzilla45 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Fly....are you about 40 feet up that tree? Making me dizzy looking at the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 gzilla - yes maybe a little higher than 40. Long story but this morning (day 5 of a 7 day hunt) paid off! I saw a ton of deer the past 5 days including the 10 point I have pictured and even a bigger typical 12 that is the biggest deer I have ever seen in the wild. I'd say he'd go 180 inches. Had him at 60 yards yesterday AM but couldn't get him closer. Still got tomorrow and Wednesday to try my luck at him. I did connect on a respectable big bodied 8-point that I estimate about 125-130 inches. This thing is a brute! Pictures in the Deer Hunting room later.

wtnhunt Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Congratulations Frank. Good luck on that 12 sounds like a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Thanks William - I'll get the pics and tag posted soon. My hunt is officially over. Saw a couple more shooters this AM but they were way out there. Here is a pic for the Blood Brothers! Driving home on the interstate I had several trucks speeding up to take a look. Then as the passed me I got the thumbs up! Made my day! Edited October 14, 2015 by fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Just returned from Kentucky. My son was hunting with the crossbow Friday night and a huge buck came walking near our ground blind set up. I stopped him broadside at 30 yards and my son sent the bolt through him. We found the bolt covered in blood but the blood trail was terrible so we did not pursue. The next day around noon we tried to get on blood but no luck. We grid searched for a couple hours and searched again on Sunday morning. The deer was not within 300 yards of the where we saw him last in any direction and longer in the more likely directions. We have pics of a 140 inch 9-point and we think it was him. It would have been his first crossbow kill at 13 years old - bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKstate Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Congrats fly, and bummer on the one that got away, but hopefully he is healing and you will run across him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
