Rhino Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Still waiting for our rut to kick in. I did see a 3 yr old 8 point last Wednesday afternoon but he needed another year so I passed him up. We're short on meeting our club's doe quota so I wacked another one Saturday morning. Wacked a couple of pigs Friday afternoon too. Can't have those things taking up residence in one of my better buck hunting spots. It got up to 80 degrees yesterday so deer movement appears to be restricted to evening hours until it cools down. I'll get back after them when cooler weather moves in again this Wednesday. We should start seeing some rutting activity down here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Keep after 'em guys and gals, I'm your biggest fan! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandyjo62 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm home!! But with no more points for our team. I had a chance to shoot a doe, but that was the first thing I saw Saturday morning, and I'm too picky to shoot the first thing I see lol. I was gonna shoot a lil spike but never got a clear shot. Sorry =[[ Anyways, it's late, I'm tired, off to bed. Talk to ya guys later. Mandy Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 No need to be sorry mandyjoe, Thats hunting. All that matters is that you had a good trip and enjoyed the hunt. My shotgun season was very uneventful. Very slow going to say the least. Been a year of the scrub as I did not see a deer with 3 points on one side. Hardly any shooting at. Going to get back after it with the ML for a couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckNrut Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Not much going on here either. Have to limit my hunting time in preparation for final exams next week. Hunted Saturday on an edge of a hardwood ridge and a partially cut bean field. Tons of tracks in the field, but didn't see Jack, Jane, or Doe. Spent Sunday studying (I use the football games as a source of "distraction" - helps condition myself for the exams.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hope you enjoyed your trip Mandy Jo. Heck...I just hope it will cool off around here. Got up to 80 again today. I'll head back to camp tomorrow night. It's supposed to get down to about 60 Wednesday morning. Then back to the upper 70's that afternoon. I just might have to go bass fishing that afternoon. It's supposed to cool off some Thursday and Friday and then get cold again Saturday through Monday. I'm just about finished with my Christmas shopping so nothing will hold me back from spending more time in the woods between now and Christmas. I'm fixing to hit the woods hard again since our rut is about to go into full swing. I'll report in as soon as I decide to take a short rest break. That could be toward the end of next week though when I come in to pay some bills and then head back to the woods. Gotta love it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I can't contribute anymore than I already have points wise for us, but I'm still pulling for all of you guys and gals still hunting. Good luck all! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Still looking to contribute. It is a tough go at this point in the season. The deer being under pressure since September makes it tough. The weather plays its part and I am just a bit burned out. I will take my muzzle loader out on occasion and hope to luck out.

ruttinbuc Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Thanks, TG, It is nothing but an ice rink here. I hope the deer won't suffer too much. Good luck with the new job, Tony! I didn't realize that Alcan had union shops . I don't think the one here is. I may be looking for something else before too long myself. Shift work is starting to wear on me...

Rhino Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I've have some more points to add to the team. I killed a 5x5, or least he was before he broke one brow tine between my last trail cam pic of him (Dec. 8th) and when I killed him late morning on Dec. 17th. There's only 7/8" left on that broken brow tine so he'll score as a 9 point for the team. He's a 5 1/2 year old buck with a 17 1/2" inside spread but was a little short, overall on tine length. He also had a broken G3 too. A fiesty buck for our neck of the woods. I'm after the one that busted him up now. I think it's a heavy, tall tine 8 point that I got a trail cam pic of too in the same area. Our rut is starting to heat up so I'll head back to the woods right after Chrismas is over. I'll get pics posted in the entry thread soon. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Way to go, Rhino! Still looking for something legal. Thought about flying back to Kansas, but would have had to deal with the poor house soon after:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckNrut Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks again teammates and good luck to the rest of you that are still out there putting your time in the woods. Saddly, my time is done for the year. But at least I put 3 in the freezer - sowhat if one was a road-kill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Anyone still hunting or are they done for the year? Yikes Art...what was it, doe or buck? Did you hit it? Glad ya got it though...I hate when it's this cold to see deer lying on the side of the road not all mangled....seems like a waste of great meat for someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'll be heading out this afternoon. ML runs to the end of the month. Have not been seeing much. You never know when one might decide to show up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Bow season is still in around here till Feb 3, but all I have left is a doe tag. Can't contribute anymore points to the team. But do you all remember this guy? :D Sorry, another shameless self promotion moment got to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Tom...you're grinnin like a opossum eatin saw briars. Attaboy again. Speaking of shameless self promotion :D I bagged this one Saturday morning while he was hanging with his doe. The rut is winding down here now but this old boy still had enough in him to go for one more doe. He scores better than my 1st buck but as you can see, he's an 8 point and the other one for the team was a 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
