ODH Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hello everyone. Season starts here in Ohio Saturday good luck to everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hey guys. Urban season has kicked off here but I haven’t had any luck. Statewide season starts next week. I will also be traveling to Illinois in mid November. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to sharing updates along the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I’m on stand tonight hunting a buck that I have three years of history with. He’s 5.5 this year with a typical 10 frame and some trash. Fingers crossed, I get to hunt him tonight and tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 He came out at last light but he was 200 yards away with his head down feeding the whole time. I will get back after him tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODH Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Good you got to see him. Finally cooled down here hopefully get out hunting soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Season opened last week. I've been out 3 times and haven't seen much. Couple of does and young bucks. I've got a 4 day weekend coming up and with this cold front coming in, I should see more deer on their feet. Good luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I was able to take two does on Monday night, but I completely forgot to snap pictures so points will have to wait until the next doe. I was shooting the G5 Havoc(2 inch cut) on both does and they both were heart shots. Surprisingly neither broad head deployed properly until exit. In fact, the holes through both hearts were approximately 1 inch along with the entrance holes. The second doe I shot only ran about 40 yards, but she stayed alive for approximately 7 minutes being shot through the heart. This makes the 7th deer I’ve shot with a two blade rear deploying expandable and 5 of the 7 did not deploy on impact or undeployed on exit. It’s not an energy issue because I’m shooting 80lbs with 9.5 grain arrows now and the previous was with FMJ’s. I guess I’ll stick with 3 blade over the top expandables, definitely has me scratching my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODH Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Congrats Hoosier. I’m surprised those G5’s did that. I shoot them in Mathews and in my crossbow never had any problems with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Shot a yearling doe last night. The big doe wouldn't come in close enough for a shot and I needed the meat! I switched to Muzzy 3 blades this year. There was hardly any blood trail at all. She only ran 70 yards before she died, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODH Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Congrats MCH. Finally made it out tonight with the wife. Set a stand up over food plot the other day finally got to hunt it. Didn’t have any luck though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 MCH-Nice job on the doe! It’s a slow time for me right now, but I’ll start hunting more once Oct 25th-ish rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 My favorite time is finally here! Cameras are starting to light up, food plots look great and the leaves are really starting to fall. Up to this point I’ve been hunting one buck, but now I will also be chasing a few others as we close out October. I have three years of history with my top three deer along with multiple years on a few others we are keeping tabs on. Illinois is also right around the corner! The next three weeks are a deer hunters dream!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Today is day 5 of our rifle season, I’m in my stand now lol. Chilly quiet morning here. No luck yet, just does and calves. The bucks here don’t usually move around much in the daytime this early in the season. Good luck everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 8 days away from my two week vacation. Going to hunt four different areas during that time. Two here in Oklahoma, one in Arkansas and one in Kentucky. Would be nice to kill three bucks....never happen. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I just turned an arrow loose in Illinois! It all happened very fast and I’m still in the blind now. I think he’s at least an 8 with chocolate horns. I feel good about the shot, but he was in some tall weeds at 40 yards so we are going to give him some time. I know my arrow didn’t pass through. Fingers crossed and hopefully some pictures to follow later today!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODH Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Congratulations man! Hope u find him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Here he is! The shot was perfect, double lunged and He only made it 40 yards! I was sitting back in an area that is about 300 acres of just thick-twisted nasty jungle over a 1 acre food plot in the center. The morning started rough when one blind widow wouldn’t stay open at first light. Upon trying to adjust it, I looked out and a shooter 8 was staring at me head on 35 yards away. He whirled and took off making me think I had just blown my one opportunity or the week. Everything slowed down for about an hour. I was texting a buddy about my mishap and looked up to find this buck entering the foodplot. He was cutting through an opening that was only 10 yards wide. None of my windows were open to make matters more interesting. He promptly walked through the lane without stopping to any of my noises. I use a single pin sliding sight which I keep set at 20 yards. Due to the frantic timing I couldn’t range him or adjust my sight. Thankfully he stopped right before exiting into the autumn olive when I said “HEY”. I estimated him at 40 yards, put the pin just over his back and let it fly. Due to the tall weeds it was very tough to tell exactly where impact was, but I knew the shot looked & felt great and that I didn’t pass through him. Just to be sure we waited until 11 to take up the track job. I didn’t take long, we found the arrow about 15 yards yards away and he was just 20 yards past that. This was my 5th time coming down to hunt Illinois and this was the first arrow I let fly. I pumped up and ready to jump in a stand back home!!!

RangerClay Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi guys, sorry I'm late to the party but my new job has sucked up much of my free time for the computer. I harvested a nice 8 point last weekend and I will have it entered very soon. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
