RangerClay Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I took a break last weekend from the deer blind and took the kids duck hunting instead. We had a blast and put 3 mallards in the freezer. Next weekend our early muzzleloader starts and I will be looking to put some doe meat in the freezer. Good luck everyone!

fly Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Been hunting 2-3 days each week and so far haven't seen a buck yet. Have had some uncharacteristic East winds that have prohibited me from hunting my best stands. We are in the middle of the October lull right now so I don't expect to see a shooter for another 2 weeks. I'll still be looking for another mature doe. I'm taking my 14 year old son down to KY for the ML season this coming weekend. I think we will have plenty of action based on the trail cam pics. No bucks big enough for me to shoot, but 4 eight pointers that he's got the green card on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) October LULL is all I can say; had to run back to NCI shop to get a couple O-rings on Forwarder, mechanic said he saw a huge buck in the ditch on way to work, first good buck he'd seen this fall.

fly Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) My son missed a nice buck in KY. An 8 point at 25 yards with his ML. He's only 14 and got a serious case of buck fever. Still - hard to believe He missed at 25 yards with a ML he can hit a quarter at 50 yards with. In IL I had a decent 8point at 38 yards. Shot was good - he ducked the shot and it went over his back. First buck I've seen this season. Came out to feed in a cut corn field an hour before dark when a cold front moved in.

Ravin R10 man Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Just waiting here...sooner or later something will show up on cam, as for now, I keep checking and hope the coming rut pulls a decent buck over at least you saw bucks and had shots Frank Edited October 22, 2016 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 My apologies. Shot a doe yesterday during blackpowder season. Hung her up and with temps in the 60's I got nervous that night and cut her up. Today I thought... OOPS, I forgot to take a photo. I still have archery and a gun season.

fly Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Been a while! While the forums were down I've taken a mature doe and a 6 pointer on the last day of a week long public ground draw hunt. He offered me a chip shot and I wasn't seeing anything for the wall so I took him. Putting my new hoist to good use! Been a great year already - now I'm looking for a wall hanger.

RangerClay Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hey everyone! Though I would check to see if thing was back up. I shot a 6 point yesterday but he is probably a legal 5 point. Still it's 10 points for our team with a lot of season still to go. I will post pictures later. Congrats Fly! Sound like you and I did the same thing with a chip shot buck.

pointing_dogs_rule Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Well, while the site was down I have been getting out. I have had the worst last week in October and first week in November. Lots of big bucks being shot, however, my area has absolutely been dead. Last night I had an 8 point following a doe, however, only 120+ inches. I'll keep trying and hopefully add a doe or something bigger. good luck to all the dog  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Thanks Joe and Martin and congratulations to both of you.. Yea Joe, the buck walked right below me and stopped quartering away at 20 yards to work a mock scrape I made. Since it was the last day of a draw hunt I was in - he bought an arrow threw both lungs. Ran 70 yards right into a huge patch of sticker bushes. the recovery was painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 nothing to report here just yet, wolves REALLY got the herd chewed up bad! Â Not seen what I'd call a shooter buck here all fall. Â going to be out this weekend as much as possible, they are starting to chase and all I can hope is a decent buck comes cruising by.

pointing_dogs_rule Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Some points for the team He's a 10 with some trash points. I take this "contest" very "lightly" so I will NOT count those small points as it just leads to bickering. good luck to all the dog   Edited November 12, 2016 by pointing_dogs_rule xnxn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Beautiful Buck Marty! Congratulations! I got a nice Kentucky buck this morning. Nine points - will be another upgrade from the 6 point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Nice buck, Fly. The way you are knocking them down.... i'd hate to walk by your tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'm very thankful for a great season. I haven't got him scored yet but I think he'll go 130 inches. I'll put some more pics in the deer hunting room. My first post back on Spt. 12th. " Goals for this year are to get 4-5 deer in total for meat. Then to bag a 130 inch or bigger buck. We'll see."Â I've reached my goal with a lot of season left! If I get any more I'll be giving away a lot of deer meat as Christmas presents this year.

pointing_dogs_rule Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'm hoping for you fly, however, with that missing point I'm putting him at 124.5 inches. I sure hope that I am wrong. Let us know asap. Either way a beautiful deer good luck to all the dog  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
