Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: TEAM 11 Bill, you're the man. Totally, not necessary, but very much appriciated. Well the opener was HOT, at least the temps were. Not a lot of activity. I did pass up a very nice 120's 8 pointer at 25 yards Sunday morning. Text book shot opportunity and I never even clipped the release on the string. I'd gotten pictures of him on my trail camera earlier in velvet. He needs to grow another year. I've got a couple at home just like him and want something bigger. Also passed up a little dork buck at about 10 yards. That was the bulk of the excitement from my weekend of hunting. It was just awesome to be back in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tunkhannockbowhunter Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Team Renzos Had a nice morning in the stand. Heard a buck rubbing on a tree pretty close to me, but it is real thick near the swamp on my farm and wasnt able to see him. gonna give that stand a little rest and head up on top of the ridge during the evenings this week. wont get to hunt this saturday because it is penn states first night game in 3 years and it is a huge game against ohio state. Im hoping we go 6-0 for the first time in forever! so im gonna have to wait til next sat to get out in the morning again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Would have been nice... BUT I was blessed to see a Pine Martin about an hour before dark tonight while in the stand...that was really cool watching it climb trees and move through them looking for food. Anywhoooo.....at last light was having trouble keeping my sight light on so I decided to pack it up for the day. Hung the bow and put the seat up...reached down and grabbed the bow rope and started pulling it through my gloved hands. It was making a slight hissing sound and then...KA-THUNK...KA-THUNK I looked up in time to see WhiteTail leaving from ...oh maybe about 8-9 yards in front of my stand I never heard it, never saw it before then, and wish I had put my Game Ear back in after the leaves had stopped rustling like they did all afternoon That deer had walked right under my stand while staying in some cover from the limbs and leaves and never made a sound Oh Well...Thats hunting!!! At least I know my scent control regimen worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaskBucks Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Going out tomorrow...can't wait...the morning should shape the day...I think I know where the deer are coming back from feeding and hopefully the wind will be right for tomorrow...good luck to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I took my daughter out with me last night. She's 6 and likes to go sit in the blind. I had it figured out last night. Wind was perfect, I just knew in my gut where the deer would be bedded and would move to. Half way to driving there, I said "oh no, I forgot my decoy (Renzo of course)" There was no time to go back and get it. So we hunted anyway. Sure enough with an hour to go, here come three does right to us. At about 60 yards, the lead doe got all nervous. She just did not like something about the set up. This is where I wish I'd had my decoy. She needed something to take her attention off of the blind. She freaked out and took the other does with her into the woods. Not sure what wigged her out. The wind was perfect and the blind fit well into the surroundings. Man I wish I'd remembered by decoy! That would have sealed the deal. My daughter was a little bummed. But I explained that that is hunting and she ought to be happy, that is the closest she and I had come to tagging a deer together. All of our past outings the closest we'd gotten to the deer were a couple hundred yards. Good evening, but man if I'd only remembered my Renzo.

billkay Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I've gone and sent out the addies to Renzos for the guys I had. You should see them arrive late this week. Not sure what we'll be getting. My guess is a deke or two each, maybe a DVD, and some decals. I do not have addies for 10acboy, markyj, or dec67. I may get out to bow hunt a day or two this week, but I head to Kentucky for the early muzzle loader season this Fri. Season there is Sat and Sun only. Hope to score a nice one there. Good luck to you all and lets win this thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I scored 5 points for us tonight. Shot a small (very small) doe. Just could not resist the tempation. She'll eat well. I posted a picture in the entry forum. On the board, now time to take it serious and upgrade the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cornbread Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Awesome job. I have been hunting every weekend but the acorns are not dropping yet, so im not seeing many deer. I have been seeing alittle button buck just about everytime time out. I have drawn on him several times thinking it was a doe but one last check of his head shows little nubs. Those little nubs have saved his life about 4 diffrent times . I will be in Pike county Illinois in alittle over three weeks, im hopeing that we catch the rut as good as we did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6sixpoint_nobrows Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Re: Team Renzos alright boys, i got one saturday mourning, nice doe, i also shot one monday mourning, but the arrow bumped a twig in my shooting lane and the shot was back, i watched her run into the corn and fall so i that i got her, i wasnt for sure so i gave her some time, then i got on the trail always marking last blood, well to sum it up fast my last bloood looked real good, but then it just disappeared from that last blood almost like she vanished..lol...i combed the whole corn field looking and never found another drop of blood..im completly baffeled by thyis considering the last blood looked promising, the farmer picked the corn that after noon, so if she was bedded in the corn the he either could of ran her over or pushed her out....i hate no finding my deer, but what can you do? how did everyone else weekend go?

GWSmith Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Things are looking promising...but no score from here ...Yet! I've been watching a scrape open up from 12" to close to 48" large....Lots of good size hoof prints in it too! Its 35 yards away from one of my stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10acboy Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: Team Renzos No points here yet. With my inlaws here and the weather we had last weekend (we had buckets of rain all weekend) I haven't been able to get out. That will change this weekend! I have all day Saturday so hopefully I get 5 points anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6sixpoint_nobrows Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: Team Renzos hmm, sounds good, i got a couple nice bucks iv got my eye on, but nothing has happened yet, im taking my stand down from one hunting ground and im going to move it to another were my dad lives..i have found a awesome rub line there and i want to get the stand hung before the rut kicks in, so maybe it will turn into a pinch point for the deer, and i can get a shot at the monster below...hope everyone has a good week, and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Took a shot at an 8 point tonite and hit him good but couldn't find any trail. I'll get back on it in the day light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billkay Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Re: Team Renzos No luck guys. Spent about 6 hours searching and finally found the arrow. It's only missing about 3 inches. Some blood and hair on the arrow but nothing anywhere else that I could find. After going over it a thousand times in my head,I know it was a high shoulder shot. I'm confident he's bedded down somewhere with an awful ache but he'll be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
