Re: Team 26

Hey Guys! Hold your heads high... there is still plenty of hunting ahead!

The rut should be winding up here, in Wisconsin, within the next two weeks... just in time for me to get my 10 days of vacation!!!!!

I'll bow hunt the rut hard, take another five days off for the WI 9 day gun hunt, the pack the truck and head south to Iowa (in December) for there gun season.

Keep after it~ there's some tough teams out there, but we will put our fair share of points on the board!

Shot this 8pt on an adult/child hunt on public land this morning(Free deer).The 17 year old I took got a spike.It was a very fun hunt.This was memorable because after 4 years of a/c hunts this will be his last hunt on this WMA as a "child".DNR cuts the jawbones out of them that is why the face is cut on his spike.I saw this buck one time during archery season.I am so amazed that I got him over a month later within 150yds of where I saw him the first time.4.5 years old...142#

65 pound brute. I was really let down when I got to this one thought it was a doe. One less buck for next year. I moved form central IL to the low country of South Carolina. I have noticed deer are slightly smaller here. I never really worried about mosquitos up there. Good luck all.

I know hes not a record book animal, but he is even bvetter than that for me.

Heres the story:

We decided to go looking for some whitetails for the upcoming season, uncle, sheldon andme. We were driving along the fenceline of grassland and stubble, and sheldon started shouting, "Mules, Mules!!!! BUCK! BIIIIG BUCK!!" Well, I almost filled my pants, he was a nice 6x6, but I wanted a non typical, so we decided to cut them off cause there was another 2 bucks in there. I got to a clearing, and saw two mule deer bucks, about 300 yards away. I mouth grunted, they stopped. I picked the taller one, and uncle said, "Hold high about 6 inches over his back, youll get him." Both of my shots went high, so I held almost dead on, and whispered, " Watch this!" I squeezed the trigger, and he fell like a rock! We ran up to him, thought he was dead cause we were poking him, and cut off uncle's buck, got a hold of dad, and got his doe. When we came to load him up about 30 m,ins later, he was gone!!!! He pushed himself almost200 yards using gonly his back legs cause mym shell went therough his front shoulders, I ran atround the bush, lined up a second shot. I squeezed the trigger, he spun. Dad ran over, tried to put another shell into him, but hit the left antler. We ran over there again, and slit the throat.

We later aged him at 9 1.2 years, so here's to a great hnting season, and poppin another old mulie buck!!!

Hope you enjoyed it. I took these pics with my phone so I had to go to a feriends place to get them onto photobucket, this weekend, Ill get some field pics up.

Have a good one
