hoosierhunter Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Al- quite the season! Congrats on another beautiful buck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thanks Pat! OK teammates...I entered the 13 point for the upgrade, including extra pics of NT kicker points over 1". I'm tagged out in MO but still have my home turf to hunt in MS. No chance of getting a deer with more points than 13 in MS though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Wow Al that is a great buck!! Congrats!! Our gun season opens tomorrow.

RangerClay Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hi everyone! Our big opening week is over. Had record cold temperatures that limited how much we got out for a few days. I have nothing to upgrade with yet but my son dropped the hammer on his first deer then another. Four deer came through and he decided to fill both of his doe permits. I'm very proud of him, took only two shots and both deer piled up within sight. They weren't the biggest deer on the hill but I told him he could shoot whatever he wanted. He told me that he had a chance at an 8 point earlier but didn't have a clean shot so he passed on it. Once again very proud of my little man.

Rhino Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 A BIG congratulations to your son Joe. You taught him well! My luck is still running strong this year. Made my 1st hunt of the gun season in MS the afternoon of Nov. 20th. Checked one trail cam on my way to the stand (explain later). This stand is on top of a ridge by a steep drop off. The bottom below it is a cane thicket. Only 20 minutes into my hunt I saw movement in the cane. Glassed this buck for a few minutes before I could size him up. Then a few more minutes looking for a clear shot. He went less than 5 yards. Gross score is 134.5" So far I'm having a banner year. I hadn't been able to check any cams for over a month. Been in Missouri. Now...the trail cam I checked on my way to the stand was ~1/8 of a mile from where I was hunting. The 1st buck to show up on this cam was the double droptine buck I caught in velvet this summer. Here's one of the new hard antler pics. The 2nd buck to show up on that same cam was the 9 point I've got in my hands. Time to focus my attention on hunting the double droptine buck now. Right now I have 5 cams around the area where I think he's spending some of his time. We'll see if my luck holds out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Man Al, you have had a great season. That MS buck sure looks bigger with that mass. Good luck on the double drop buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Been slow here in MS lately and warm for this time of year too. Not much daylight movement. Haven't caught the double droptine buck on cams again yet either. The rut here should start cranking up real soon though. Anyone else still hunting?

Strut10 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Congrats to the young man piling up the backstraps !!! Congrats to Al on another slammer !! I have worked every day since (and including) Thanks giving and my first day off will be Christmas day. All of the general firearms season down the crapper. I should, hopefully, get 4, 5 or 6 days of flintlocking in. I'm VERY excited for that to get here after Christmas !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 OK Don...good luck when flintlocking season arrives. Been real slow here...lull before the rut stuff I guess. Rut here in MS should start cranking up in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Congrats Al on another big buck. Our gun season ends Tuesday then 5 days of ML season. Then it's all over for another year. Got a nice 10 pointer running the property. I'm hoping to put him in my sights this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hope you put a hole in him Joe...good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Well my season ended Tuesday. Put in one more try with the muzzleloader. Near the end of the day a nice 2.5 year old 8 point skirted me. I took crack at him and a sapling jumped out in front of me and committed suicide for the buck. Oh well, that's the way it goes some times. Have a merry and blessed Christmas guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 MERRY CHRISTMAS to the guys on TEAM 4 !!!! Tomorrow starts our flintlock season...……….. Have several days available to hunt. Gonna have my best huntin' buddy along as much as she will. I still oughta get a chance to add some baldy points to our total. Both daughter and I can shoot a buck and 3 doe. I won't shoot a buck unless it's something I'd have shot with my bow in November. Gonna tell her to shoot any buck she wants if one happens by...…………..

Rhino Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thanks Don...and Happy New Year to everyone too. Been in the woods since Christmas afternoon. Haven't knocked another deer down but enjoyed being out there. It's prime time rut here now but the weather has been terrible. Warm and wet for the most part. Haven't seen any mature bucks lately. Rain moves out and cooler temps roll in Friday so I'll give it a go later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Well, fellers...……………………. I'm throwing in my towel. Daughter got the flu at Christmas time and only got to hunt a couple hours 2 different days. Put deer in front of her both times, but she didn't shoot (oh, geez...……….don't ask...…). I spent a few days at it myself and actually COULD have filled all 4 of my tags in the first 1 1/2 days. I was just so bummed to not be hunting with my daughter, I didn't care to shoot anything. Sooooooo…………… I gotta work with my daughter on sound management/conservation -vs- emotion for next year and for myself, just hope we have a few decent survivor bucks still running the Strut10 Ranch to be targets this coming season.

She turns around and frankly tells me..."I'm waiting for an 8 pt"!!?? Feel for ya Don This was RIGHT in line with why she didn't shoot the FIRST big meat mule that was in front of her. She was holding a buck tag and 3 doe tags. She had told me a few weeks ago "I'm only shooting a buck if it is 7 points or more". So, OK...…….she wants a bigger buck. Well, what I did NOT understand was that was the ONLY thing she was shooting...………...no doe !!! Aye, yi, YI...………..!!! Then I explained to her the thing about realistic expectations in late flintlock season and she agreed she'd shoot a doe next time. Well, last night with 5-10 minutes of season remaining, there's a big doe fawn 20 yards from us standing broadside. Momma was SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWLY bringing up the rear and was NOT gonna present a shot in the daylight. She wouldn't shoot !!!! "I don't wanna shoot a baby !!" UGH !!!!!! I'd have pulled my hair out if I had enough to get a hold of !!!! There was 40 pounds of baloney in that deer !!!! I wanted deer baloney !!!! My gun was turned the wrong way with the deer being so close...……..nothing I could do but watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
