Hillbilly Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Welp... Saturday morning my friend got busted by a doe.... and our hunt was over.... I was about 400yards away from him. I was in a treestand along some trails. Well he got busted and we both didn't see a thing. Well we went and ate, then came back with his older brother. (Kyle) and I was hunting a logging road... well a year ago some tree cutters came in and took out some trees. Well now it's a huge thicket. Anyways Kyle was up on the ridge about 400 yards away from me.... I was down the ridge a little and sat up in climber. He was on the ground. Well he got on the radio and asked me to start rattling... Well I did, grunted with the Rubber neck and bleated with the Original Can.... Well, about 10 minutes into my rattling I heard something moving my way about 40 yards behind me. It was so thick I couldn't see, but Kyle looked from his positioned and chimmed in on his radio that a big buck was behind some down trees. He could see him being on the hill and all. Well I stood up and looked around... I grunted with the rubber neck and he took a couple of steps out and that's when I saw his huge rack. But no shot! Saw his head and that was it...... He's a 14 pointer, with probably a 23 inch inside spread. The buck finally started to move down to a clearing. All of a sudden I get a glimpse of a black movement coming up the hill..... The he blew... at least 5 times and went up the ridge back to the thicket..... It was Kyle's black lab. Well, the dog ended up going all over the place and we never seen anything else. I'm heading back next wednesday... snow might be here Tuesday and Wednesday..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed160 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. That Stinks!! Just curious, but around here it is illegal to use radio's to aid in the hunt? Is that legal in Indiana? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
py_archer Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. Illegal here too. Sounds like some hillbilly hoosier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. Excuse me??? Hiillbillyhoosier.... now how did you know that...... Hey, if it is Illegal here, then I'm sorry I broke a law, but I didn't know... It wasn't like we were using dogs to run the deer or putting on drives and letting hunters know they are on the way to the slaughter house. I couldn't see the buck and he pointed it out too me. But my apologies, I will never do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. And no I wouldn't shoot that dog, If I did his wife would skin my hide and use it for a blankey.... and skin him for not doing anything.

py_archer Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. Did it not ever occur to you that it might be a little unfair? I mean, it's just a dumb animal, not the Taliban. I think this goes on more than people think, or will admit to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. Had some dogs running on the trail of a deer here just yesterday afternoon. Hate to say it, but those dogs are going to start disappearing. Illegal to shoot em here, but not illegal to catch em and carry em off to the pound.

BuckNrut Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. In NY both actions are illegal. The dog owner would be fined and if a CO observed the dog chasing a deer they (not a hunter) can shoot the dog - and still issue a ticket. I think the minimum fine now is $200 or so. It would be wise to check you state's regulations on radios and dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. We wasn't hunting with a dog.... the dog followed us into the woods after about 3 hours of hunting. I heard something coming up the hill. and there was the dog. We didn't use the dog to rush out the deer. Py, It wasn't like we were using the radio all day. I'm sorry I didn't know it was Illegal... What dumb animal are you talking about?

Guest DaHunter Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. Its too bad about you getting busted by the dog, personally i wouldnt worry about the radios thats not a big deal. I would continue using them....its nice too keep intouch incase of an accident or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early. I guess before your next outing you'll have to get your buddy to lock the dog up. Too bad he ruined the hunt. Sounds like a good area your in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Re: Big Buck.....Black Dog.....Hunt ended Early.
