buckee Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Re: Team 9 I went out tonight. Had a deer at 25 yards about 5 minutes before legal shooting time ended, but I couldn't make out what it was. It had it's head down feeding the whole time. I'm allowed a doe or a buck right now, but I want to know what I'm shooting at. Next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bownarow Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Re: Team 9 If I shot small bucks we could have had a temporary lead as well. We'll overtake them all as the season wears on, and the cream rises to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitRmisS Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Re: Team 9 well i had a good evening on the stand today, only saw one doe and yearling but it was a nice evening on the stand and they hung around for about 30 minutes so i at least had something to watch... my dad called this morning and said some guys at work saw a couple bucks chasing does this morning so im getting really pumped now. hopefully i cant get back down there to hunt at our lease next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Re: Team 9 I've been fighting a nasty cold all week. Sore throat, real stuffy head. headache, chest is congested.....pretty much the works. I got all packed up ready to go last night, but honestly wasn't sure if I was up to it. Woke up at 3:45, and came down on the computer to do some reading, and see how I felt. I pretty much felt like crap. I read the story fromanother forum that a friend of mine posted last night last night. He shot a buck, a doe, and a turkey last night, from the same stand. That got me pumped, and made up my mind to get my butt out in a tree. I medicated myself with claritin, afrin, and ibuprofen, and headed out. Was 34 degrees with a heavy frost. Perfect morning! got to Paugusset State Forest. got on my pack, and started the long hike in. It's about a mile and a half hike. It is a river valley, and I was disappointed to see there was no frost, and it was extremely foggy. I got to my stand, and got situated by 5:50. At legal shooting time, 6:33, it was still too dark and foggy to see. The fog didn't burn off until around 9am. at 10;05, I have 2 deer come up behind me. They never offered a shot they just followed the path the leads out of the draw I'm in. One was a doe, the other was a big bodied 12" or so spike. He was safe, as I had no plans to take him anyway. Around 10:20, I have deer coming in again. They are coming from directly in front of me, which is the worst place for me to have deer come from. There is a hill there ,and the deer are almost at eye level with me at one point.I grabbed my bow, and help it in front of me to try and break me up some. A large doe, and a skipper came in. Never knew I was there. There is a run off directly under my stand, and they headed right to it and were drinking from it. I watched them for about 20 minutes. Every time the doe got more then 20 or 30 feet from the skipper, the skipper came running over to the doe. nuzzling her. It was entertaining. I had a few shots at the skipper, but the mother never gave me a shot. I most likely wouldn't have taken it if she did. I'm getting soft...lol. One thing about today. I'm pretty confident about my scent control. The spike, and the doe went up the exact trail that I walked down to my stand. They never spooked. The doe, and the fawn both spent at least 5 minutes directly under me. The doe was rooting around in the leaves, exactly where i climb into my tree ,and she never spooked. She looked up at me a few times, but didn't seem to even notice me. I have a really good feeling about this stand with the rut coming up. Trying to decide if I should stay out of it for the next couple weeks. Small game opens next Saturday, so there is a good chance that the deer habits are going to change drastically. I hope not though. Well that was my day. It was an entertaining morning. I stayed in this afternoon as I'm really feeling like crap. Gonna relax today and tomorrow and hope to kick this cold.

buckee Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Re: Team 9 Get well soon Tedicast. It's a bummer being sick during hunting season. Sounds like you had a great day, in spite of being sick though. Hang in there...better days ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Team 9 picture reminder Just want to remind everyone to make sure you get a picture of you, and your deer, before he is caped out. The picture need to show you, and the whole deer. Bushman, on team 20 just lost good points for his team for only having a picture of his 15 point non-typical caped out. Just wanted to remind everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bownarow Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Re: Team 9 Great weekend for me guys. No kills but plenty of opportunities. Saturday afternoon I traveled to a new spot to hunt and was just setting up when I had a little mishap. I had just set my climber down and was starting to trim some limbs so I could climb the tree when I stubled slightly and my saw slipped off the tree limb and right into my thumb! What a mess I was in then. I can honestly say I have never seen anything bleed so much. I wasn't sure the extent of the injury do to the amount of blood that was comming out of my thumb. Looked like I had been hit with a Muzzy!!! Anyway, I wrapped it up in my fleece face mask and began the chore of packing all my stuff back to my ATV, driving the ATV back to the truck, unloading all my stuff from the ATV into the truck, loading the ATV into the truck, changing out of my hunting duds, and driving the 45 minutes back home. All with one good hand. I finally arrived back home and got it stop bleading and decided I didn't really need stitches. So I cleaned it up reall good, put some butterflies on it and headed back to the woods. This is where the story gets good. Take a good look at my avatar. This is a trail camera I got last year and a deer I almost got a shot at last year. Well, let's just say he is still in the area this year. He came by at about 50yds on Saturday evening, but no shot presented itself. He has longer tines, more mass and a wider spread. Nothing short of amazing let me tell you. I have never seen anything like it my life. Due to different wind conditions on Sunday I stayed out of that particular area and hunted a different property where I have spotted a couple 150"+ deer. I had between 20 and 30 does and fawns less that 20ft from the base of my tree between Sunday morning and evening. I also had a little 120in basket rack 8-pt come by sniffing the does and grunting up a storm. He came right to the base of my tree and looked up but never busted me. I could have blazed some of those does this weekend but I was in an area where I knew there were a couple nice bucks and didn't want to reveal my ambush spot just yet. I can always stick a few does later in the season after I have my buck tags filled. All this action I can't believe why some people wonder why we hunt. Man, I love this stuff.

arrow32 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Re: Team 9 I went out tonight with no luck. But feeling good about tomorrow night it was a little to warm this evening. Checked the cam and there is one new buck it was just a spike but still he is new. Wish you all the best on your next hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Re: Team 9 My lab got cancelled tomorrow morning so I think I'm going out to sit in the spot where I know a big non-typical has been working. That would be a ton of points for our team, if I could get a crack at that boy!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Re: Team 9 Last night i went out. It was like a monsoon. No deer did see a spike he was about 40 yards away right on the other side of the holler. Just cant seem to find a big boy or get a doe close enough or see one.

Bownarow Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Re: Team 9 Gonna give my avatar buck another shot at being a star tonight.
