Ravin R10 man Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 I know many are still hunting, but how long did you have to wait for that shooter buck?? In my case I figured close to 100 hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) All season and still waiting. I shot at one in Ohio, but those darned branches just don't like an arrow. Or should I say an arrow just don't like those branches.

BuckNrut Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) I took my "shooter" on the third weekend of the season - the sixth day of six "all day" hunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTMMIKE Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) I spent about 150 hours bowhunting & passed several nice mature bucks. I did get a nice one toward the end of rifle season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) about 75 hrs here this season, but I ussually put in much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) I was up over 100 also. Nothing showed. Still had fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) I couldn't even guess during rifle season, every darn minute that I could squeeze in and still no shooter this year...OH' well I guess that's how the game is played... Bow season was way to easy I think I was in the stand 4 hrs. but that's definately not the norm. I contibute that one to pure luck...

billygoat Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) All fall, Martin, I didn't have a shooter under my bowstand until early November... then I hit a twig. Of course during my Iowa hunt... I was in the stand for an hour befor a shooter walked out... just how the ball bounces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) Never saw a shooter buck with the bow, but probably put in well over 100 hrs with the bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) Excluding the times that I was running a video camera for my buddy this year, it comes to about 125 hours of time on stand bowhunting this year. If I had to add all the time from the past few years of bowhunting to the last shooter buck I put an arrow in, it would be somewhere around 700 hours.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) I probably spent close to 75 hours and most were accumulated on morning hunts. Seen lots of does but no big bucks. Still had fun watching all the little critters that came by me. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) hmmmmm, well, i missed the one and only buck i deemed worthy of an arrow this year, and the date was November 13th i think, soooooooo i guess i average about 15 hours a week, and that would have been the 6th week soooooo probably in the neighbrohood of 90 hours.

Hillbilly Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Re: Time spent on stand??( Bow) Well, I didn't tag a darn thing this year, first time in my life without a down deer. But I was in the stand every day in October and half of November. I would go out in the morning around 4:30am stay until 11:00am. Tehn 1:00pm to dark..... So I was in the stand a lot with 3 missed bucks.... so depressing... I'm gonna go to see Dr. Phil, I need help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
