Dawg Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Had a buck ~130" show up on the camera Wednesday. He was following a doe. They showed up at 10am and 2pm. Me and the boy are going to try to stick it out tomorrow in the heat to try and him a chance at that buck. Other than that we had the typical residents show up......the doe with her two youngins', the lone doe, 4 pointer, 6 pointer, one small spike and the hogs.

Ravin R10 man Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 FRESH snow overnight here...be going out after a bit, prob sit all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Sat another 7 hrs on Sat.,4 inches fresh heavy wet snow, got late morning, by then it started to drip when temps rose, then it started to rain. Got my buckwing umbrella put up, and stayed dry...only buck that showed was a real nice spike. otherwise had deer under me all day long. I assume the shooters are locked down with the first cycling does here..they are not on cams at all last few days. Definately not seeing the "Zombie" bucks out in fields yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 at this point, the big ones are locked down with the first hot does. All thats on it's feet are smaller bucks cruising. Just hearing of big bucks nose to ground not stopping for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a doe tag in my pocket, so down she went. Aint gonna let the wolves have an easy one.

RackBlaster Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Off this week to bow hunt into the first Illinois gun season. Should be able to put some meat in the freezer. Good luck guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Not much to report. The rut is just about over in my neck of the woods. Haven’t seen a deer while on stand yet. Hunting the 140 acre lease this morning. It was clear cut a few years ago so we’ve had to make some major adjustments on stand placements. Deer sign is good but I’m afraid they are moving at night mostly. Going to sit til about noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Opening day I let that 8 pt walk 2xs many other small ones came and went, noticed most of the fawns this year are all button bucks. 22 hrs on stand in two days hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 at this point Im convinced seeing a shooter buck here is like getting my order From RT gift certificate from last years contest NOT HAPPENING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I’d just like to see a deer while on stand. I’ve stared at the same bushes and trees and am getting tired of it real quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Rifle season ends today, I sat tight until late Tuesday. Passed two 8 pts that were two yr olds, needs another year to grow, had a weird rack buck 5 on one side and 3 and deformed on other, 3 yr old. he came in first eve, smack downwind when he stepped out, got a whiff of me locked up and spun around. I got binos up and confirmed it was him, no chance for a shot. He'll be 4 next year. Hopefully a 12 pt. Very doubtful I will even break out my Omega ML this yr.

Ravin R10 man Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Well guys, I totally forgot to get a pic of a doe for some pts....very doubtful I'm gonna do any more hunting this season, just not seeing anything on cam. Warm temps have deer out in fields feeding like it was Oct. Had a couple corn fields harvested last week, and they are all over that. Taking safety ropes down and letting straps loose on the stands today. First year I have not contributed to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Not sure I'll be able to put any points on the board either. This is by far the worst season I have had. Finally saw a deer Saturday morning out on some public land but it saw me first. I never got a good look at it as it was running off in the opposite direction. All the deer at the lease are coming in at night. My son and I head up to Matador WMA for an antlerless hunt next Friday. At best I might get lucky and add 5 points to the board for our team.

Ravin R10 man Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Wed is last day of ML season, taking Omega with me as deer are pulling into logging job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Well...I thought about it, and figured I didnt want my gun in the cab and get knocked around. SO....guess what shows up about 8:30 a.m.? a nice 8 pt., I drove within 45 yards of him, he got nervous and went to bed down, then he came back out again about 2 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 one of the 8pts I let walk in rifle season here; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 My son and I made the trip up to northwest Texas on the doe hunt we drew. Came home empty handed but had a good time. Unless I get real lucky and manage to shoot a buck on the public land i hunt by the house I won’t be able to put any points on the board for us.
