Jeramie Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 ML'er season opened here on saturday. I passed up two does. I had them dead to rights but its a littler early to get excited! At least I actually had the chance to seal the deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Checked that buck out on Thursday night. Official green score is 210 0/8 gross and 198 1/8 net. It was definitely a giant. This thing filled up the entire back of his pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey everyone...i've been hunting a good amount, and still cant connect on a buck, well i cant even see them yet except one spike i saw. Hopefully now with this cold weather it will get the deer moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Well everyone, I killed a doe tonight. I was walking to my stand around 3:15 and when I was just about to walk up to my stand 2 deer snorted and ran back over the hill. I couldn't believe there were already deer moving by my stand. It worried my a little that i spooked them off and they snorted all the way up through the woods. Around 5 I could hear a few deer walking and suddenly two little does came out into the field edge that I was hunting. One of them stayed off about 40 yds or so, but the other one came by the stand at ten yards and I make a perfect double lung hit on her. She ran about 80 yds or so and piled up. I had trouble finding her because there wasn't very much blood at all. I found blood on my arrow, then didn't find any blood for another 20 yds, then there was about 2 drops a little further up the woods, then nothing. I was a worried because I knew I smoked her, but yet no blood. I walked up through the woods looking for her but no luck. I got a little frustrated and I was going to go back to the last spot I found blood and try to find more, but on my way back I walked along the creek at the bottom of the ridge and there she was laying in the creek. Her is a pic, sorry its a little dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Congratulations. Are you gonna enter her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'll enter her for now, but if I kill a buck i'll upgrade it. Went out this morning and had two come by. I missed the biggest of the two does, she was at 40 yds and I shot right under her. My dad killed a good size doe this morning. The two I saw and missed were with the one he killed. I'm going back out this evening, so we'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Congrats on the doe! I'll be heading out this afternoon for hunt #27. Should start seeing more bucks this weekend. Hopefully I can upgrade my 9 score and help lead this team to victory. All we need is for one of us to kill a nice big non-typical and we can take this thing. Or how about every body just wack themselves a nice 10 pointer and I think we'll take it as well. Gotta have dreams right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad dryden Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Last night I had a buck come right in on the estrus but the way I had the bow in my lap the quiver got wedged on my deer stand and couldent get it off but luckily it was a small buck though.

ilhnter Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Today I started my 8 day vacation to hopefully hunt the rut. t out this morning and saw 6 does, but no bucks. Haven't seen any rutting activity yet, but hopefully they will get going the next few days. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Add 5-more to the board. I shot a little 70lb doe on Friday. I will get all the information up early this week. Now I have that off my chest so I can start looking for bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Congrats everyone on their kills. Can't wait to get started!!! 10 more days!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'll be taking my first camping trip of the year(and probably last) this weekend. I'm headed up Friday night to my lease in Honobia. I'll be staying through Monday. Wish the temps were a little cooler, but with the moon and the rut going strong, I should be on the deer. Since this might be my only time hunting the lease this year, I may cave in and harvest a young buck. I've passed up so many this year that it's starting to eat on me. Anyway, hopefully I'll report back Tuesday with a big buck. Good luck to all and congrats to those that have harvested deer! Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I want to try and get out this weekend. I saw a BRUIT chasing a doe a LONG way from the house but it was a good sign. I hadnt planed on getting out but I have have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Well been hunting hard the last couple days and have seen no bucks, but lots of does. I guess the rut hasn't kicked into high gear yet here in southern Illinois. Tonight I killed another doe, she came out at 5:15 and offered me a 30-35yd shot quartering away and I drilled her. She ran about 50 yds and piled up. Here is a pic! I'm on vacation through monday, so hopefully I can get a good buck and get us more points. Good luck everyone!!

Guest Andrea Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 My season starts in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEHAW!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Guys and gals, things are looking bleak right now. I have killed 3 bucks so far(at least 8 points) and have yet to find a single one. Two were due to bad decisions on my part and one was due to a downpour. I'm hoping my luck changes soon. I'm actually taking the rifle out this weekend for our opener. Maybe I'll connect then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Went out for opening weekend of missouri's rifle season and only got a coyote, which is fine with me. this weekend is opener for Illinois shotgun, so I will be out there this weekend hoping to connect on a big Illinois whitetail. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Saw a couple 3.5 year old 8 pointers yesterday and this morning but let them go. They both would have scored around 130" or so. Climbing a tree this afternoon for hunt #44 of the season. Maybe that's a lucky number. Bucks were running does hard yesterday but it seemed a little calmer this morning. Hopefully they'll pick back up this evening. Continued good luck everybody. Let's wack some big ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 First time in the stand this season this morning. Saw 2 does, 2 yearlings and a spike. Doe was just a blowing but the 2 deer in the shooting lane weren't bothered by it. I thought that was strange. Then I saw the spike. She was just mad cause he was there eating her corn. LOL I am holding out for the big one boys........hopefully it won't be too long. They won't be in full rut around here til early January.
