billkay Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I had a small buck respond to some rattling in Kentucky last weekend but it has yet to have any effect on the deer in Indiana. he one I I whacked in the shoulder came running in at nearly full speed responding to a grunt call though. Go figure. He may be a bit more hesitant in the future I'd say...LOL Good luck guys. Be safe and get ya a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I went out yesterday evening and set out my new Renzo buck and doe. I had a scrubby little 5 pointer come right to them and hung out with the decoys for more than 15 minutes. He worked a scrape not 10 yards from the decoys and then milled around eating the winter wheat within a few feet of the decoys. They never spooked him or anything. He thought he was hanging out with his old friends. Pretty cool to watch. I'm betting the deer really get moving in the next week, with it cooling down and the pre-rut being just around the corner. I'm thinking the Renzo decoys are going to be the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Well....I'll be hunting a new area with my Renzo's Decoys soon....Mine is getting Logged right now Good things happen out of bad though...Talked to one of the Loggers and got invited to hunt his private farm He's taken a 143 5/8 9 pointer from his property so far this year....and in his words "Its not the one I'm after but I had my son hunting with me and he took a doe...we were dressing it out and this buck came in on her trail". ....actually feel a little bad about the grumbling I was doing while pulling the stand Took this picture this morning after pulling my stand.

6sixpoint_nobrows Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: Team Renzos sounds good everyone, welp, sat. evening, dint see anything, sun. evening was rockin, i knew the rain all day would be pushing the deer in the fields looking for some food. welp got in my stand at about 2:30, set up the ol stealth cam, and set up a scent dripper over my mock scrape then climbed in the tree, not long after it started pouring down rain again and i looked down and this small buck [image][/image] was following a doe into the corn field, that was real good sign, the doe got within about 25 yards from me, and this buck got about 30 yards, i thought about shooting him, but decided to pass,played around with him with the primos medium can, bbut he wasnt too interested, he already had a girlfriend and he was faithful... after that i waited around another hour in the stand I decided to make a stalk on the deer, so i got down out of my stand and walked about 20 yards and anbother doe came out of the timber, she had her eye on something the whole time, but i couldnt turn around to see what it was, after she spooked i got in the creek line and looked over and that same buck was walking right to me, he walked only about 5 yards away from my stand, thank god i wasnt in it, i would of been temted..lol...welp that was about my weekend...how bout anyone else?

Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I duck and turkey hunted all weekend. Shot a few woodies and the mallards would not cooperate. Did get my dog's first water retreives in, so it was a good weekend. She and I were sitting in the blind Sunday morning and had a good 125" or so 8 pointer walk past us at 10 yards. Good looking deer, hope he makes it till next year. Turkey hunting came so close to panning out. I shot, the long beard stepped, and all I have to show for it is a handfull of tail feathers. Oh well, I'll track him down in the spring. Time to start taking the deer hunting seriously. I'll probably go out Thursday evening and then hit it hard this weekend.

10acboy Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Well IF I even get to go I am going to have to be out of the stand probably around 10:30. Saturday is suppose to be lows in the lower 30's, highs in the low 50's. I wish that I could stay in the stand, but one kid has a soccer get together and the other one has a birthday party. I know that a lot can happen in a few hours. We'll see how it goes. I am going to try out my decoys and use "the can". Good luck everybody!

Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I'll be out there, just hunting the normal routine. Sunday there are some commitments with the kids, so it will be hit an miss. I don't usually stay out past 10:00 or so in the mornings and go back out again around 3:00. I have too much going on usually and need to get some things done in that couple hour window. I went out last night, but had a doe that just would not cooperate. I'm going to slip out tonight as well. Going to set up those Renzos tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I hunted this evening and saw an absolute STUD of a deer. I jumped him, just as I was walking past my stand to set out my Renzo doe. I was down wind, so he never winded me and I really don't think he ever saw me, just heard me. I got a pretty good look at A LOT of antler as he bounded off. So, I went ahead and put out the decoy and hunted the stand because I really did not think he knew what I was. So, I hunted for two hours and did not see a thing. I think he had run off all the other deer because for me not to see deer from that stand is almost unheard of. Right at the last few minutes of legal shooting time, I see three does come out and cut across the field about 60 yards out in front of me. I let them go and started to pack up. About 5 minutes after the does went by, I saw a large deer following their path with it's nose to the ground. I pulled up the binos and it was A LOT of antler. I'm 100% sure it was the same deer. Because of the fading light, I'm not totally sure how big he is, but I'm guessing he's 140's or maybe more. It was hard to tell. So fortunately, my bumping him was not too damaging. He's using the area, so I know right were I'll be sitting Saturday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cornbread Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I will be hunting all weekend long. Im starting to see a few more deer but just not the right ones yet. Rifle season started last weekend but i very rarely hunt with a gun, 95% of the time I hunt with my bow. Im leaving next thursday for a week of hunting Illinois. Im hoping that the Big bucks are acting stupid and chasing hard. I was up there last year and they were running all over the place. I went with a group of 16 and we killed 16 deer, 9 bucks with 8 that would go pope and young. After that I will be back to Georgia and hunt a few more days and then its back to work for alittle over a week and then im off for 2 more weeks. The rut where I hunt in Georgia usual gets kicking after thanksgiving, so I will be on vacation here when it starts. I saw a Monster(140-150 class)last year 2 times with in 30 yards but things didnt work out. The first time I was at full draw and he was at 25 yards and needed to take 1 more step to clear a tree, but some reason like big bucks do he turned 90 degrees anr over the top of the ridge. The next time I was hunting with my muzzleloader and I had just shot a decent 8 pointer, he ran about 30 yards and fell over and I hear something over my shoulder and there he stands 30 yards wide open and broadside and me with a unloaded muzzleloader. I was wishing I had bow. Good luck to all yall this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10acboy Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I don't know if I am going to be able to hunt this weekend or not. I would love to get out for a couple of hours tomorrow morning because you never know what could happen. I called Steve this morning to thank him for the "care package" and all I can say is What a great guy. He gave me a big thank you for giving him a call and he wished me all the luck in the world. We discussed several different ways of using the decoys. What a down to earth guy! We was telling of a conversation that he had with Jim Shockey and moose hunting, it was awesome. If we have luck with the decoys he said that he wants pictures guys, make sure the decoy is in the picture. He told me a Michigan hunter called telling him that a 182" buck came right into the decoy! They also killed 12 antelope in 2 days using their decoys. I would love to get out and try to use them. Good luck this weekend everyone!

billkay Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Hunted a new spot both Sat and Sun afternoon. It's about 5 acres of woods surrounded by standing corn. I have a couple of tral cam pix of some super deer in the 130's but only saw a few does this wekend. It does hold a lot of promise once the corn comes out this week. Go ahead and post that button up if you haven't already scored a doe. 5 points is 5 points Kyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: Team Renzos I could not hunt Sunday due to family related commitents. But I hunted hard on Saturday. I set up the Renzos and used some new James Valley scents that a buddy of mine sells. I never saw a deer until the last minute or so. Then here comes this 120's 8 pointer that I've passed up a couple times. He caught one wiff of the scent and saw the decoys and came in like he was on a string. I passed him up at 10 yards. He was all over the decoys. He never attacked the buck, but he circled them and circled them trying to figure out what was going on. He loved that scent too. Good stuff there. I'm not sure how many more times I can resist the urge to shoot this deer. I'd really like for him to go find a thicket and lay down until January so he and I can play next year. It gets harder to pass him up each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Buck Hunting here in this area for me(since I dont have a doe tag)....but that tag would have been really nice this evening!!!!! I had a doe come into the setup in the picture below this evening....I took the picture just after she left...from the spot on the ground where I was sitting!!! She was only half of the distance between me and the decoy on the left I swear....The next time the camera is going to be ready!!!! She milled around, for 4-5 minutes, like she was looking for what the other deer were eating and then just walked back the way she came. There are actually 3 decoys out there...one of the feeding does is just to the left of the decoy on the right behind the trees. There is alot this picture does not show about the ground near the decoy on the left...most of it is open but obscured by the old stone fence I was near.

10acboy Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Well everyone - 2 more days to our smokepole season. I have the decoys airing out, tonight I pack the truck with my other stand and my blind, and Saturday I'll be out there all day. I'm sorry that my bow season was a major bust, but I had a major item on my "honey do list" which was to finish my basement. Well that's done (my inspection is Friday with carpet getting install Saturday). So I'm done. I'm wishing everyone on Team Renzos Good Luck and lay the smack down on them this weekend.
