GWSmith Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Kyle, I felt alot like you said...I just wanted to contribute to the team. I took a couple nice mature does and waited for the bucks we knew where there to show up. I passed on smaller bucks though and could have taken any one of them but theres a really good reason why I did not. I have been passing on smaller bucks for quite awhile now while hunting that area that my father and I have hunted since 1998 together. The farm where we hunted this year is seeing less and less hunters each year. We both have been continually taking our share of does from this place. This year we saw more bucks than ever before and my father was able to take the biggest buck of his lifetime. We found out this year that the landowner is no longer going to be giving out any more permits to anyone new and now just to the people who have been going there for years in a row. Its just going to keep getting better and better as time goes on and we have the proverbial key to the gate I already have next years permit The contest has been fun to be a part of. I'm looking towards the future and what it has to bring hunting with Friends and Family...for me thats what its all about after all is said and done!

Guest tunkhannockbowhunter Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Team Renzos my sentiment is pretty much the same. I wish i could take a nice buck and help the team out, but it just hasn't come together for me this year. i was able to take a nice mature doe(which i still need to enter once i get the pics from my brothers digital camera). The bucks are on my properties, its just been a tough year. i've passed many small bucks and even a decent 8 early in archery season. I believe in management too much to lower my standards. I still have some hunting left to do so you never know what will happen. you gotta be out there to shoot them, so i wont give up til I got something hanging upside down. good luck to all and dont give up yet. my hunting buddy took the biggest deer of his life and one of the biggest in the area on the last day of archery with 15 mins left of legal shooting light last year. So heads up everyone, this is just for fun and you never know whats going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Team Renzos "Thanks to all yall for letting me be part of an awesome team" Now if we only knew who you were? LOL Our mystery hunter? Just kidding. The whole reason for these contests is to build comradary between forum members and generate communcation between hunters with different backgrounds. We surely have suceeded at that! This certainly is, not was, my favorite team! I still have about 3 weks to go. We are currently in out m/l season. It will run till about the 18th of this month. I spent about 15 days in the stand of the last 3 weeks on 3 different properties and have not seen a worthy buck. Yetserday I walked every row of a 100 acre standing corn field looking for something bedded, no luck. No big deal, I'll keep at it till the end. I'm glad you were all willing, if not excited in using the Renzo dekes and I hope that they will eventually pay dividends for you. I'm proud to have all of you on my team nd wish we could kep the team together for next year... Thanks to those who are finished, and best of luck to those stil at it. You never know when Mr. Big will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10acboy Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Re: Team Renzos [ QUOTE ] "Thanks to all yall for letting me be part of an awesome team" [/ QUOTE ] My feelings exactly! I still have until the first Saturday in January to score on something bigger, but I don't know how much time I'll get to hunt plus I need to thin the doe herd some. But, what a group of guys! I couldn't have been placed on a better team. Thanks for the dekes too, I know that we are all thankful to you for getting them.

GWSmith Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Re: Team Renzos [ QUOTE ] "Thanks to all yall for letting me be part of an awesome team".... ....I'm glad you were all willing, if not excited in using the Renzo dekes and I hope that they will eventually pay dividends for you.... [/ QUOTE ] The team has been fun to be on thats for sure!!! As far as the decoys go...I had bought one Doe decoy before this contest at a local Gander Mountain store. This was my first year ever using a decoy while hunting. I would have been happy if all the decoy did was take the attention of the deer off of me for a couple seconds so I could get a good shot. Not only did that happen but I had deer seeing the decoys and walking in to them!!! I say "Them" because I was using the one I had bought and the ones we recieved as being part of "Team Renzo's". Here I was my first year using a deer decoy of any kind and I'm not using one big bulky thing that made using it a pain in the butt. I'm carrying 3 decoys into the field under my arm folded up!!! By the time I went to West Virginia hunting with my father I had bought a few more and setup 2 in front of his ground blind(75 yards away). He takes the biggest buck of his lifetime after the buck notices the decoys(the buck was 175 yards away from the decoys) and starts walking towards them....BTW...It was his first time ever using a deer decoy hunting as well. He said: "Bring them Decoy things again next year" ...and for me...I wont hunt without them again!!! P.S. The first few times using the decoys you have to be very careful and place them so that they are either directly facing you or facing away from you. I know...I almost shot mine a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cornbread Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Sorry im the mystery hunter. I was not on my computer and forgot to log in. I will be back in the woods this weekend and maybe a big buck will walk into bow range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Well it does not add to the score, but I doubled today on a couple does. The Renzo's pulled them right in and the smoke pole barked (twice). Sweet morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10acboy Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Re: Team Renzos Nic pic and congrats on the deer. I myself didn't have any luck yet with the decoys, but I am going to keep trying to use them. I didn't see any deer this weekend, I am still trying to get my oldest son a shot at one. I did however, bag my first black bear! I saw it feeding out in a corn field. I had my sons with me (they are 10 and 5). They got in the truck while I stalked the bear which took a total of about 15 minutes. With light running out quickly the bear finally gave me a shot at about 120 yards and my 270WSM dropped it in it's tracks. Man you talk about being pumped! Do we get bonus points? It was a small bear, but a bear. It dressed out at about 100 - 110 pounds. I was told it was probably a 2 year old. I'll post pics in a day or two.

6sixpoint_nobrows Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Re: Team Renzos hey congrats on the bear! thats awesomne, yeah i think we should get some bonus points for that! i cant wait to see some pics! welp i havent been able to go out lately, but hopefully this weekend i can get something, i need to shoot another deer, its been awhile...lol..i think nov 12th was my last kill with my bow..but hey cant kill anything sitting inside, its just been to darn cold here in IL...temps in the single digits and below zero...not many deer are ganna move in that conditio...its starting to warm back up a little bit so maybe i will get out sometime late in the week or this weekend! good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Re: Team Renzos The deer will probably move more, and earlier when the temps drop. They have to eat more to keep warm and will use the sunshine as an extra benefit. Take advantage of the cold while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
