Re: BLACK JACKS!

Some of you guys will grow to hate me. I passed on a big (but not huge) muley buck yesterday because he looked like he was still a young (3.5 year-old) buck with good potential. I still have the rest of this week and all of next week to bowhunt mule deer. I won't be as selective towards the end of next week.

Re: BLACK JACKS!

Hey guys,

Everyone is quite on are team. Just wanted to check in and see how everyones hunting is going. I went out last night it finally stopped raining, and so one nice buck but he didn't come within range. Nothing was happening in the late afternoon so I tried rattleing and he come running up from the bottom. Something just wasn't right and he stopped about 60 yards from me. He probably would have scored in the 140's. Hopefully I see him again this weekend.

Re: BLACK JACKS!

Yep this weekend is RAIN,RAIN,RAIN here but I hope it stops some time friday evening so I can sneak out and get a shot at something....anyway got a long season to go and my buddy from up north says my foodplot in front of my stand for gun season is the best one he has and he has seen a HUGE 10 or 12 point in it lots of times.....I would rather get a big one with the bow (xbow) but if I have to I will shoot him if he comes out....lol

Re: BLACK JACKS!

I passed on a good but not great whitetail on Tuesday. I had stalked to within 10 yards of him and it was windy enough that I probably could have snuck in and spray painted my initials on him. I should have had my camera in my hands instead of my bow. Wednesday there was no wind and I got busted by a big muley at 50 yards. You need wind for open country bowhunting. I'm not regretting the decision on the whitetail - I saw a big whitetail buck yesterday evening but it was too late to attempt a stalk. He's the buck I will be after this year.

I'm heading out again on Saturday to try arrow a muley.

Re: BLACK JACKS!

I have been seeing lots of does and a small spikehorn. Seen a buck last night, not sure how big but a dang squirrel chased him off. Weather has been in the mid 50's but the wind seems to be strong and you have to be careful not to get busted. Will try again tomorrow evening and then on the weekend in the mornings.

Good luck guys!! smile.gif

Re: BLACK JACKS!

Hey guys,

Got us a nice 10 point last night. Came in around 6:15 pm and gave a nice shot. I've been seeing this buck all year but never to get a shot till tonight. It was 65 degrees so I had to take pictures after I cut it up. Let me know what you think. [image]Picture_122.jpg[/image] [image]Picture_139.jpg[/image] [image]Picture_143.jpg[/image]

JPGS22,

Congrats on the nice buck. That's a dandy.

I just got back from Georgia for a week in the field with the AF.

Will be hunting the first week of November as my son has football every weekend until then.

Nice buck, JPGS22. I got lucky on Saturday, and it was warm so I had to cut him up in the field also.

This is the buck that got away from me back in September. This time he was too busy rubbing the trees to notice me sneaking down the ridge. I put an arrow through him from 12-15 yards. He has 17 scorable points and should give the Black Jacks 22 points.
