Guest tyshe17 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 I had another good weekend in TN. I saw 3 sat morning at 10 yds, but too much trash to get an arrow through. Studied ror my test on sat afternoon. Then sunday morning walked through a lot of thick on my way to the stand and jumped deer out. however at 8:40 things heated up. I saw either a 6 or 8 for a split second. Grunted but he wouldnt come back. Then I saw 3 does with a nice 8 trailing them. I fawn bleated trying to get them to all come back. The does did the buck didnt 15 min later they were 10 yds from my tree. I took the biggest one she only went about 50 yds with a solid double lung shot. This is my first full size deer with a bow. What a rush, and what a drag!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2hunt Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 Only thing I can think of is Lunatics Anonymos I'll go along with whatever you all want. Sue and I went out to her dads last night, and my good fortune hasn't changed. Had a N-NW wind so I was expecting movement from behind or the left of me. I was sitting in one of the stands on the property and had to clean some branchs on my tree so I could get a good shot behind me. At 5:15 I did a rattling sequence and at 5:17 had a 1.5 year old 8 point come in behind me. there is only about a 20 yard opening and he has no clue as he makes his way across the opening. Well I spin in the seat and stand up and find out that there is a limb on another tree that blocks about 50% of that shooting lane and I have to watch him disappear into the thicket. I waited about a minute and then reached around the tree and gave the antlers a little shake. About 10 seconds later I see him stick his nose out of the thicket, and then here he comes right at me... only problem is he is on the right side of the tree which there is no way to get a shot through So I didn't kill anything but I guess I'm happy to say that I rattled in a buck to within 4 yards of my stand.

VermontHunter Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 DANG branches.... You're getting closer and closer every time Gary, eventually it's got to happen for ya.... Great patience on your part tho,, I've been struggling with the patience dept. this year,, but Im getting better at it... I had 6 doe's and a nice 8 pointer in my view last evening, but nothing in shooting distance.... ,, It definately was nice to see somethingother than doe's tho... Hopefully rifle season will bring that 8 point out into one of those lanes and I get to bring him home with me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 Sue and I went out last night, it was cold and on the rainy side. The small 8 point and another deer were bedded directly behind the stand, I know this as I got to watch them leave as i sat down Decided to try a different spot but didn't see anything else the rest of the night.

Guest tyshe17 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 when are we all going to get in the woods again? I might get to go wed after class, if not then I will be in saturday and sunday morning in TN where I saw thoes two good bucks. Only this time I will have my encore smoke pole with me so I can reach out and touch them. I just realized I left my permenate kill tags at home for my 3 does so far this year, and didnt get picks. I hope mom didnt throw them away. Either way, I am holding out for a 6 or bigger the rest of the time on stand...unless I have my bow in my hand. I will prob. try and shoot one more doe on a drive or easing around, but the quality hunting time where I am still and hunting hard is buck time. Just thought I would throw yall an update. Have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 I still have a couple of weeks to wait before our rifle season opens... I've seen a real nice typical 8 on 3 seperate occassions now, and in the same general area.. Hopefully he's still there when I hit the woods again.... Man those deer must have tuckered poor Gary out this bow season.... ,,,, Any luck at all buddy ??....or are you trying to rest up ???.....

need2hunt Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 I'm more limited on my hunting this year (unfortunately) and my luck still hasn't gotten any better. This morning I was sitting (on the ground) in a cornfield along the side of a grass field, expecting to see something coming from the north to northeast, I've got a great view of the field and can see pretty far in all directions. Well I'm looking to the east and then move my eyes as far to the west before turning my head... well I catch something moving and do the rookie mistake of swinging my head real quick to see what it was... it's just a 200+ # 8 point that would go in the 130-140 range... he was within 10 yards of me when I saw him and needless to say my head jerk (and the possibly slight profanities ) got me busted and he turned tail and was gone... going to head back out there in just a few minutes and try it again... and yes I need some rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2hunt Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 I'm just hoping to kill a deer sometime soon so I can start filling up the freezer again. He would have definitely filled a good part of the freezer Went out tonight but didn't see anything, tomorrow my schedule is full but I'm going to try to get out to one of the neighbors to my dad's place and see if he'll let me hunt out there this week and next. Saturday i have to head down to Springfield to check out the church and park where I'll be shooting my cousin's wedding. Right now it's hard to miss a day in the field as the bucks are starting to move and they are all swelled up... like I said I'll just keep at it and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tyshe17 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 kinda bad news guys...the gentlemans land that I saw thoes two good bucks on is in CO elk hunting. So this weekend i am going to pulaski, tn where I killed my first deer this year and saw so many (including a 4 pointer). I am not going to shoot unless it is 6 or bigger still, but the odds down there are slimmer. I might shoot a doe if I see one on the way out of the woods. We will just have to see. Good luck Need2hunt, just stay at it and it will all come together!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguide Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 Here's Ty's entry an 8x6 with 12 scorable points-it grosses 145-he shot it at 100 yards with one shot from his .243.

Guest tyshe17 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 way to go Ty! Griz, that sounds scary, and I am glad you werent hurt. I went out this weekend, but really was just guiding for my little brother. It was hot (upper 70's) and very windy, and my little bro had my muzzelloader. However, Patrick missed a small six or eight, so he got to feel the adrenaline! Ill be out maybe this sunday evening in GA then TN gun opens the next weekend. Good luck to all!

VermontHunter Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 Good for you tyshe guiding your little brother, too bad he missed on that deer, but Im sure you and he still had a blast and that's what it's all about, family and friends having quality time in the woods.. and Im sure he greatly appreciated it..... Good Luck on your outing I hope you put the smack down on a bruiser..... Have fun at the wedding Gary, and hope the video gomes out great as Im sure it will.....

need2hunt Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: TEAM 25 Howdy all and Happy Thanksgiving!!! Been gone for a while and just starting to catch up on a few things but thought I'ld let you know how everything went. We bowhunted 2.5 days before shotgun season rolled in, we were seeing 50+ deer a day and it looked like we were going to be able to pick and choose as far as taking our deer. Both Sue and I had opportunities with our bows on deer but passed hoping for the big boys to come by. then shotgun season rolled around and everything changed, we went from 50+ to 10 and under for deer sightings per day. The bigger deer were locked down with does and not moving at all, and suddenly nothing was moving. I shot at a doe on Friday night but when I looked for her we found no blood and no deer. Saturday I did a small push through that spot and found her, it was pretty cold so the meat was fine. I shoot Remington CoreLokt sabots, the benefit is they give me a range of 200 yards, what I'm finding to be the negative is that the bullet goes through so quick that it sears the wound and I don't get any blood. I shot that doe at 70 yards, bullet went through her shoulder and out low on the other side, traveled another 90+ yards and deflected off the pond dam and then landed in the middle of the pond. the doe ran 60 yards, no blood from where I hit her to where she lay AND zero blood on the ground where she lay. Saturday was a disappointment for everyone and we planned to hunt Sunday morning and then do some pushes to see if we could get anything moving. First 3 pushes amazingly resulted in seeing no deer. 4th push had a big doe coming right into Sue and I. It was coming right in and then veered to the left, Sue was positioned about 15 yards to my right and I asked if she could kill her. She told me to stop her and I did the maaaaa and the doe stopped for the perfect shot... Sue whispers over that I stopped her behind 3 trees and she couldn't shoot, so I shot and missed high and the doe took 3 steps forward and then I shot and dropped her. We pushed another spot which resulted in Sue getting a button buck. And then Sunday evening Sue shot a decent 9 point and the landowners boy shot a 4 point. I'll get get my doe in the entry thread before the end of next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
