Nut Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Well the 4 day primitive hunt ended yesterday. I got out the 1st 2 days by myself and took 1 shot. I hit it dead center....the tree limb that is The 6 does did not seem to like it though as they tore off. I passed on another because the 2 young ones were together and it did not seem right to shoot them. Yesterday morning I had a chance at a spike whose tines were at least 9 inches high. It was pretty cool to watch him run. I spooked him again about 30 minutes later and it was funny as he went by the cows. They looked up slowly and then put their heads right back down. We went to another parcel of land and the 3 of us (My friend Ted and my oldest son) went different ways to push a thick area to see what would happen. I heard a shot about 20 minutes into the walk from Ted's direction and then about 10 minutes later I had a deer jump up and barrel between my son ridge and me eventually right across in front of me. No shot chance for me. Then we start hearing a whistle....it was Ted needing our help with the deer he got. When we got there he was as happy as I ever saw him. He said he walked down the logging road and there ended up having 6 deer coming toward him from our direction. They moved slowly in front of at about 50 yards and he took a shot at the closest one. The stood there while the one he shot went about 20 yards and then went down. They finally took off when he started walking toward them. It was a button buck. Then was his first ever muzzleloader kill and the first time in about 10 years with iron sights. I am happy for him since he was needing some venison. He would not be in a pic with it because although proud to have his first ML kill he only will be in pics with big ones. Here is the only pic I got since I had to go home and get batteries for the camera anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fourtrax_300 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Re: Late season congrats to ted on the deer. i guess the fact that they were usign ML's and iron sights made it primitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Re: Late season The late season is mainly for muzzleloaders but you can also use bows and crossbows. You can have scopes on the ML also. LOL None of us had scopes on ours. MIne because it is my choice and I think a scope on a sidelock makes it look weird. Ted...because he had never got around to it.

Tominator Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Re: Late season Good job Fred and Ted. Tom smoked a doe at 15 yards (thanks to me ), on Thursday. I borrowed a gun this year and went ML for the first time ever. I think I'm hooked after I shot the borrowed sidelock, then Tom's inline twice. Only thing I shot at all week was an old oil jug, but I centered it twice with Tom's gun. I'll be in the ML market probably this summer, or if I can find a good "post ML season" sale.

Nut Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: Late season [ QUOTE ] god why didnt you just put him in the top of the tree [/ QUOTE ] The deer was only 5 feet off the ground until the days hunt was over. This way Ted's dogs would not bother it before he butchered it that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
