Re: Team 24

Youth hunt here this weekend, then ml opens the following weekend.

Saw a couple youngsters sparring Tuesday evening, so things are definitely picking up here. Had a spike walk the treeline under me within 8 yards, and later got busted right at dark, had deer all over me, no shooters though.

Re: Team 24

Good job Bigbuck. I had ten does in front of me last night and thought about taking one but I did not feel like educating ten deer at once before the rut started. It is only the firs week of season and we have a month and a half left so no biggy. My birthday is this weekend and the weather is supposed to be terrible with high winds so I am not sure if I will get out much this weekend, good luck to all who is out this weekend.

Re: Team 24

So today I did a little Rut scouting to see if I could see any new action. Well I found tons of it, including a scrape that was absolutely huge. so I set up a blind by it and put a scent wick over the scrape. so I hunted there this evening. Well after about 30 minutes in it I was questioning my set up. well I stayed put then 3 does walked out 100 yards away, then 3 more, then a spike and 2 more does. Then a nother doe that was acting weird, see would look back and stare and it didnt take long to realize there was a buck behind here. and sure enough the brute I have been after came out and gave her a little chase. Then all the deer joined and went to middle of the feild which is in a in a swail where I cant see them. The I hear some grunts and running, all the suddent they pop over the hill and are comming right to me. I got my bow up and one doe came right up to the blind and started staring, the walked wile looking at me and went past me where I couldent see. then the buck went to the scrape ( 12 yards away)and starts chewing on my scent wick. and a small doe was between me and him (7 yards). All the other deer are 35 yards or farther feeding. so I wait and she finally starts to move, But she started comming CLOSER. But I was running out of light fast so I raise, Aim, and shoot. I couldent see the arrow but felt 60/40 on the shot in my favor. they all ran 100 yards and went in to the woods. I am going back in the morning to search for sign, I just hope it doesnt rain at all. Now I know I gotta put a tree stand where they came into and went out of the feild. I got the tree picked out just didnt have time to set it up today.

Re: Team 24

well guys, yesterday morning (opening day), I passed on a spike. Yesterday afternoon, I passed on a 4 pointer. Also had a doe and two calves walk by my stand.

Last night, my Leaf River caught this guy on my carrot pile cool.gif

If you look real close, this guys got a good spread ( looks better on the TV ), I think its a different buck.

Re: Team 24

Really nice heavy bodied deer there Lewis.

Had the youth hunt here over the weekend. Sunday morning with marginal shooting light, my 10 year old daughter had the 10 pointer I drew on with my bow at about 10 yards. Long story short the shooting rail on the stand was too high for her to get her rifle in positions for a shot.

She passed up a 6 and 4 point Sunday evening with hopes the 10 pointer would come out, got that all on video.

Re: 24 - Antler Addicts

I still havent entered my buck, we dont put the pics on our computer till the cameras full and right now we have maybe 1/4th full. but I will get it soon.

I hunted the blind today, didnt see anything. checked the camera had a coyote and a big 8 pointer on it which I think is the buck I miss took for a 10-pointer. I will post pics tonight. I am heading out to the 80-acre property we have about 1.5 hours away. great deer movement up there. I have a great feeling about the spot. I will keep you guys posted.
