Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 Well, I'm all packed and ready to head out at 5:30 Wednesday morning for Utah. Weather looks good for there, mostly clear with lows around 32 - 35 and highs around 55 - 58. Got a chance of some rain one day, but that's all. If it's like it was last year, I should have an opportunity at something decent. I'll update when I get back. Adios! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 Hope you nail a monster! Yep, keep us posted. I will be out all day this Saturday in PA. Didn't even bring my stuff to Ohio this week. Too busy with work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 Well, I came home empty handed... I had plenty of chances to take small bucks, but I held out to the end for that monster mulie, but I just couldn't connect. Rifle season for whitetails starts next Saturday. I'll be out there giving it another go then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 Hey nothing wrong with that...they will just get bigger for next year. Good luck on the Whitetails! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks We had terrible weather for the rifle opener this weekend, hot and windy, but the deer were still moving pretty well. Saturday morning I saw 5 bucks, including a nice 140 class 10 point. He was about 20, maybe 21 inches wide, but his tine length wasn't great. G2's were about 12 inches and G3's were maybe 11. He was only 3.5 years old, so he got a pass. Saturday afternoon I saw 2 bucks, a medium sized 8 point and a small 10 point. Sunday morning I rattled up 2 bucks, but they were both small. Sunday evening I had 8 does, a spiker and another 140 class 10 point within 20 yards. This one wasn't wide at all, maybe 16 inches, but his G2's and G3's looked like spears sticking up. Again, I couldn't make myself pull the trigger since he was such a young deer, but I did get some excellent video. As soon as we get some cooler weather, I'm heading back out there.

Reloader Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks Wish I had some of those, your "passes" sound like monsters to me! Ive seen 140 class deer and better...but never during hunting season and never within even 200 yrds...outside of a zoo or other exhibit.

Reloader Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 Well season opens for me on Saturday. Gonna hunt some public land saturday...if it isn't too crowded to be safe. May have a line on a private horse farm to hunt. If I get permission I will be hunting that with a guy who boards his horses there on sunday...assuming I strike out sat. I will be shooting for meat so don't expect a big rack...but if I get a shot at a buck I will take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 Good luck. I'm leaving after work Friday to head out to West Texas again. Still loking for the old big boy, but I might shoot a doe if I can do it without disturbing my good areas. I'll probably head over to the east pasture during the middle of the day and look for a doe. It's 2500 acres and almost never gets hunted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 Well got out to a semi public farm today...saw a few does and had 2 in my crosshairs for a while but had to let them slide...they were a bit scrawny, I will b egoing out again tommorrow and may just shoot whatever I see cause I whont get much chance to hunt during the week... Good luck yall...how are your seasons going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 Hey guys, I had a lot of action on Saturday. Check out the last journal entry I made for the whole story. It pretty much sums everything up with me so far, since I haven't let you guys know of my adventures lately ... here's the link: My Journal Entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Re: TEAM 16 I had five deer hanging out under my stand Saturday morning. One was a button buck that came back three times, bringing more deer each time. The first time he was chased off by a coyote, but the 'yote never stopped long enough to draw my bow. Couldn't get the doe that was with him, the last time he came back, into range. I watched the button buck and his sister eat acorns under my tree for 45 minutes, when they were chased off by a buck with one antler. I was tempted to shoot him, but he was only 1.5 and I let him walk. Gun season starts next weekend, so I'm gonna hunt the stand I saw a nice eight pointer out of three weeks ago.

Reloader Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks I haven't been able to get out hunting all week...no babysitter. Hoping to find someone to watch my daughter all day saturday so I can get some hunting in then...at this point Ive decided to shoot the first decent deer I get a shot at, doe or buck. This is the last weekend of the sesaon for regular gun season. I could buy a doe tag for the Jan season but that would be no different than shooting a doe now... anyway just had a major cold snap this week and our first snow fall actualy stuck on the ground, so hopefully I will get a good shot at something saturday. Take care and good luck guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks Well still planning to go hunting tommorrow..but it warmed up again today the snow is only still here in heavy shadows...not sure what that will do for the deer behavior but will give it a go anyway.

DSGB Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks I got two more this weekend. One doe and a six pointer. Story in the Deer Hunting forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks Great job! I'm still passing up shots, hoping for Muy Grande. I saw an absolutely beautiful 10 point, 20 inches wide and would score in the low 140's Saturday morning. Got about 15 minutes of video at 80 yards. Sunday morning I videoed a different 10 point from the same stand that would go about 130. I just can't justify shooting a 3.5 year old deer with that type of potential.

Reloader Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks Well I got skunked for the regular gun season. Still have the January antlerless season comming though...keep on keeping on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks Hunted Fri, Sat and Sun morning. Saw the usual 8 and 10 points, including the same extra tall 10 point I saw opening weekend. Man, he looked bad. I bet he's lost at least 40 pounds over the past month. Of course, every time I see him, he's chasing the girls around! Probably hasn't eaten anything in weeks. Hope he makes it through the winter. BTW - I shot a doe. Nothing very exciting. I was sitting in one of my afternoon stands and she walked up to about 20 yards and I put a round from the 220 Swift between her eyes. Nice big doe for the area, field dressed at 85 pounds. I'll post her later in the entry thread if I don't get a buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGB Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks Way to go Buckslayer007! That's a great buck! Now if I can only get one like that to walk by my stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckslayer Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks Yeah, I am very pleased with him. I think I'm going to ask the taxidermist for the antlers back until he needs them. Relatives want to see them this weekend over Christmas! I celebrate Christmas... So I'm wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! If you celebrate another holiday, then Merry or Happy _______! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks Merry Christmas to you too, and to everyone else! I've upgraded my score to the six pointer, but we're still pretty far back. I'll be off starting tomorrow until Jan. 2nd. If I haven't got a nice one by then, I still have vacation days. Season is open 'til the end of January. Good luck to those still hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Re: Ghosts of the Oaks I'm hunting Sat, Sun and Mon, then going out again next weekend. Season closes Jan 1 for me. I've got a 4.5 year old 9 point that I see almost every morning that I'm thinking about shooting. Might take him if I get the chance. Merry Christmas all!!!
