MossySNPR Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns I'm on it buddy. Starting back to the stand with the xbow next week, shotgun season would have died down now, gonna dump the winter apples out and let em' come in. By the way, do you think the deer will be able to smell the apples still under the snow, saying they don't find the apples before a snowfall?

MossySNPR Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns We sure are tezz, I know, I don't think it is fair to include mulies... they are obviously bigger than whitetails in my opinion? Then again, I wouldn't be whining if I had mulies in my area lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLBUX Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns Our second gun season has arrived here in Illinois. I was sick for the first one and didn't hunt much. I was out this afternoon for the last 45 minutes of the day and passed up a doe. I'll hold out for a buck until Sunday afternoon and then try to whack a doe for 5 team points. I hope our phantom member gets something this week. We are in the chase!

LLBUX Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns I have had no time to go out this week to look. Hopefully I can get back out this weekend and stick one with my arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MossySNPR Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns I just went out tonight and put out a huge load of apples, some cobs of corn and a whole jar of peanut butter all over the trees. Looks like they've been hitting the salt lick too, so I moved it to right where the pile is. The whole way walking into my stand, the snow now shows TONS of tracks and poo, all different sizes of bucks and does, this got me really excited. I'm leaving the stand alone for the rest of the week and hitting it next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MossySNPR Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns WELL guys, this morning I got up at 5:45 and took straight off to the stand. -25 with the windchill, super cold morning, I'm using my crossbow. Anyways, as it got light, I could see that my apple and corn pile I put out was very disturbed, and I only put it out last thursday! When I got down, I walked over to the pile, and let me tell you, the entire area is RIPPED up, Theres atleast one HUGE buck track, another small track and a huge doe track. They have been visiting it atLEAST once a day, I just have to be there to intercept them, I will hunt hard, should I rattle or grunt?

MossySNPR Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns Just Checking in, their at my apple pile like cattle, its just a matter of timing. Nearly froze my a$$ right off my body last night, my feet were so cold I couldn't stand, I had to keep hitting them on the tree stand to get feeling back.

LLBUX Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns I plan on hunting some more later in the week. Today I get out at 2PM for two weeks(I am a teacher). I'll have some responsibilities, but not many. My mother passed away last week on Sunday evening so I spent the week with family rather than hunting. I plan on spending some time in a tree to soothe my spirit. Right now I am pretty low. Good luck to all and have a Blessed Christmas. LLBUX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MossySNPR Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns Startin' to look a little slim on the points guys, yes LL, its hard for me to get out too. I'll try my best until the end of december when my season ends. I'de hate to think I already lost my chance this year by missing that 10.

LLBUX Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns I missed a doe last night at 35 yards. Forgot to hold low enough for her drop. I'll be back out a few days in the next week or so. I haven't given up. Good luck all! Merry Christmas to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MossySNPR Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns Decent Christmas over my way, just went and put apples out today. These darn deer are just everywhere, all around my stand, pooping and eating, the snow tells the story. I also noticed today, I moved my salt block 3 weeks ago and instead of licking the actual salt block they have licked right through the snow and into the ground wher it previously was...wierd, but I have heard they like the dirt where a salt black has been. Anyways, my season ends on the 31st so I have this week to connect with the buggers, I believe if I'm out every morning and night, I'll atleast see a doe. Something's going to happen this week. -Mossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyrod64 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns Okay team, I'm down to my last weekend to upgrade. I'll be heading out about midnight friday night after I get off work to give it one more shot. A buddy down where I hunt saw a nice 10-12 go across our field Monday night so he's still there. Lets hope I have a little luck left this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLBUX Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns I've had the year from ****. I had an infected tooth during the rut, a cold during the shotgun season, my Mom was diagnosed with cancer in October and passed away December 11 and yesterday I admitted my wife in the hospital with pneumonia. She'll be in for a few days. I have until Jan 12. I'll keep getting out when I can. The time in the tree is therapeutic for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MossySNPR Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Re: The North American #1 Guns I hear ya LL, sounds like an awful season. But the karma for your mishaps might come back around and you shoot a deer! Well, I'm sitting in my stand tuesday mornin and I HEAR SOMEONE COUGH? 10 minutes later three%@#$ing guys walk by my stand, they don't look up to the stand but they know its there. It was the neighbours I could see, and they have been intruding on this farmers private property all year. I left a very vulgar and angry LONG note on the windshield of ones jeep. ANYWAYS, I go to follow their tracks in the snow after the morning hunt on wednesday to see where their sitting, THEY HAVE BEEN BAITING WITH CORN, I have an apple pile and their putting piles of corn back there. I'm furious, and the landowner will be contacted soontime. On a better note, this morning I hear tons of crunching in the snow getting closer, I'm thinking great its those idiots again. Out pops a doe, then another and another. They just ate buds and such for awhile about 60 yards away then left. I can also see deer have just found my new supply of apples. Got 3 more hunts to make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
