Buckslayer Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Re: Team 6 Saw a seven point, a five point, and a doe (all within bow range) yesterday... I just was not ready to end my season with a smaller racked deer... Maybe next Saturday or Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Re: Team 6 Yesterday evening I decided to go to a little strip of oak woods that hadn't been hunted this year. On one hand, i thought i was probably wasting my time there but something kept telling me to go there. As i left my uncles house ( woods about 200 yards behind the house), i told him it was time for me to get a buck with a bow and that 7 years and 14 days were long enough. I went back, and found a tall pine to climb among all the oaks. Saw pretty good sign coming in but figured that most of it was made at night. Got settled in at 5:10 and started the long fight with skeeters. At 6 30, i heard some deer jump the fence coming out of the bedding area about 60 yards from me and out of view. I readied my self and waited. 5 minutes later a buck appeared 20 yards in front of me and fed to my left. He had 3 points on the left and nothing on right, so he isn't legal in MS. Then i saw the other buck. I saw he was a good racked deer and didn't look back at the horns again. for sure a 14" 8, didnt really get a head on view. He fed to ten yards and then turned perfectly broadside. i drew but when i did my Scent-Lok facemask (first time i've ever worn it, dont know why i switched yesterday evening) got caught in my mouth. I couldnt get my kisser locked in, but i aimed and fired anyway. shot hit in middle of front shoulder but i was confident anyhow. We gave him an hour, then my dad, uncle, and me went back. My arrow had broke off 20 yards into his run. we had all but 4 3/4 inches of the arrow. we figured it all that was buried inside we should get him. didn't find blood til 80 yards down the trail. followed it easy for 60 yards then it got weak. We backed out and came back this morning. found no blood past where we stopped so we started following different trails through the pine thicket. We never found him after 3 hours of circling. I feel like he'll live. I'm still sick at my stomach. he was gonna be a great MS bow buck. especially a first. I guess my quest for a buck will have to wait a lil longer. Maybe this evening. But i guess it is like my uncle said, "You win some, You lose some" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrswtnhunt Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Re: Team 6 Don't get disheartened rhine16, it happens that way sometimes. Just got to stay with it. You'll get him next time. Just remember not to wear your scentlock facemask next time. Good luck. Muzzleloader season opens Nov 4th and rifle opens Nov 18th here. can't wait to get a chance myself.

ilhnter Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Re: Team 6 I went out this evening and saw 6 does. None of them came close enough for a shot, but at least I saw some. It was a little warm tonight, but I would rather sit in the woods than at home on my couch. I won't be able to go again until Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Hopefully it will cool off a bit. Good luck team!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossman Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Re: Team 6 I figured I may as well check in. I've been seeing lots of deer and many small bucks. I let a 4 and a spike walk at like 15 yards. I am holding out for an 8 point for the first two weeks of my bow season then I will downgrade to a smaller buck. I have an antlerless tag also, so I was just about to touch off the release on a doe and that spike I let walk came back and chased her away. I'm hoping to fill a tag this weekend so I will keep you guys posted. Later--rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhine16 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Re: Team 6 Had an awesome morning. Saw 5 does and a yearling button buck off stand. All in range, just didnt want to shoot a doe that early in the morning cause it was cool and i figured big boy might walk by. After i got off stand at 10:30 i snuck up on a doe and little one but decided not to shoot her when i saw the fawn. Then saw a coyote with a dead rabbit in his mouth, then i saw a hen turkey, so i had a pretty good morning. Think they'll be moving again this evening. Good Luck to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: Team 6 Northern zone rifle season opened here in NY today. Deer were moving around pretty good. 15 deer total...1 of them was a small racked 3 pointer...Pass Hopes are high that with this many Does around sooner or later Mr. BoneHead will want a girlfriend during daylight Hunt where the Does are...right...I'm there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: Team 6 Went out yesterday afternoon and seen a great 8 point, but he just checked the does and went on about his business. Only seen him for maybe 2-3 minutes and he was never close enough for a shot, but things should start changing soon, and maybe I can get a shot at him. About 7pm last night, there was still 2 does and their fawns from this year out in front of me, well all of a sudden they just take off, and here came about 30 hogs. I was hoping one of the larger ones would come out and give me a shot, but they wouldn't. But I did have 5 or so that might have weighed 10 pounds and then there was 3 that was about 50-60 pounds, I picked one of them that was closest to me and let my muzzy do some work. Got a passthru shot and she only went about 50 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
