Re: Team 16

Well I decided to just go ahead and harvest one of those eights tonight. He's not the biggest one but that's 8 more points for our team.

I was 25 feet up and he was about 5 yds out. I think he might have came to my doe bleating about 15 mins before he showed up. I have another doe tag for the city hunt to fill and I'm thinking about buying a statewide tag, I running out of freezer space though.

Re: Team 16

Well everyone, I am starting to see some deer now after a week of hard hunting. Yesterday I saw 15 - no shooters. Today I saw 9 before 10am - no shooters. In the stand at 2:20 this after noon an 8 pointer provided a spur of the moment shot. If I would have had time to think about it, I probably would not have shot him. He doesn't have a ton of mass, but he does have about an 18 - 19 inch spread. Pics will follow, but they are sorry. He was already at the butcher getting skinned when I remembered that I didn't have a pic - so the deer is upside down. frown.gifcrazy.gif I will post them as soon as I get a chance. At least we have 13 more points! cool.gif

Well, congratulations to you. You don't sound thrilled but you should be. At least, you're getting out there, seeing some action, and were able to take something. Congrats! Can't wait to see the pix.

Re: Team 16

Good job Josh!!! Congrats!

Well I was invited back to hunt with my uncle and his buddies for shotgun season again this year. My uncle said there's a couple big bruisers in there this year, nobody has been hunting it. I also got permission to hunt it come next bow season, I'm going to see if he'll let me in there this year. Hopefully I'll be upgradeing the score, that's a good timber.

Re: Team 16

Nice deer everyone one. We're doing pretty darn good in my book. I saw 2 of the biggest deer of my life during this years M/L season but I couldn't close the deal. One was a HUGE 7 pointer - tall and wide and the other was a 10 pointer that would be a minimum of 21" wide - he was way past the ears. The 7 pointer was a little out of comfort range with the smokepole and the 10 pointer well that is another story. He was only about 40 yards from where I have my stand but it is THICK where I hunt. He was chasing does and there is no way to stop him for a shot.

Could one of you tell me where to post the pics of the buck that I harvested so we can get some more points.

Here is his pics and again sorry for the pic, he was already on the skinning table when I remembered that I didn't have any pics of him.

No - believe me - I am extremely thrilled, but I am just hard on myself early in the year and patience is not my strong suite. At least it paid off this year, and I bagged one.
