NiteRunner Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Yeah it's been a little while since we've heard from a couple folks. Maybe they're still dragging the Big'n out of the woods? Goign to be trying my luck this weekend and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Nothing new from me, been seeing a few deer but nothing worth shooting in my books. I will be out everyday starting tomorrow when I get to my place until a day or so after Christmas. I will at least add a doe to our points, but maybe something bigger, just not promising anything other than a doe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 no news on my front, although my buddy shot the big 10 i hit in bow this last weekend. He was a beauty and field dressed at 215 that late in the year. He probably would have went 240 went I shot him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Update For Team 14 Well team I had computer problems all this week and was without internet. So here's an update... Muzzleloader stared up the 27th and the last day is tomorrow. I had no shots the first and second day at anything, bummer, then my moment came when two does came trotting across a field at me...POP! Sounded like just my cap blew but the bullet came to but went maybe 5 feet out. Reloaded and not long later had 2 more come across a field lined up and shot...a better BOOM! but still not much coming out?? We narrowed it down to me using my quick loads from last year and most likely they got damp and so the powder was not burning real well. But it should be all OK now. Only saw 1 deer all today and no one got a shot. Then on the drive home we were nearly hitting them things saw like 14 right by the roads. Unreal. Last day is tomorrow and I'm going to try my best, if not there's always the rest of bow season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 We can another doe to our list . Went out this afternoon to the oat patch once again. The wind was blowing pretty good and the deer didn't come out as early as they usually do, but finally I seen some in the brush. Three yealings came on out, but the two does stayed back. Finally they also decided it would be alright to come on out and I picked out the biggest one and when she turned broadside, my AR15 spoke and she dropped in her tracks. When I get back home and on my on computer next week I will post up the pics. Tommorrow is the last day for me for this season, so we will see what shows up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 well my season ended uneventfully. I can't remember if I posted this so sorry if I did, but if you all remember I hit a really nice buck in early bow season. Well I got a phone call from my buddy saying he got a nice one on the second to last day of muzzleloader. I went and got my ranger to help him get it out. When I walked up on the deer I immediately noticed the big split G-2 on the left side. I told him that darn that looks alot like the deer I shot. We got to looking at him and sure enough he had the hole in him high and a little back. It had healed shut, but had the hole on both sides. I was extremely excited to know that he didn't die a miserable death. He had busted himself up pretty good since I shot him, but with his full rack he was a mid 140's gross. He dressed with his head off at 179 lbs. That means he was 190 with the head. They say that deer run off 30-40 pounds during the rut. That would have put him when I shot him at field dressed around 220-230 lbs. That's pretty good for Indiana. We definitely had a few drinks to celebrate him getting that deer. Even though I didn't get him, it was nice to know that someone who hunts as hard as I did got him in the end. I will see about getting some pics up of him if I can.

NiteRunner Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Sorry the season didn't work out for you Hoosier. That buck you discribed sounds similar to one I was hoping to connect with this year. Pretty wild how he healed over from your shot in him, but like you said at least he didn't suffer. Maybe next year. I got a trail cam pic of a decent one that made it past the gun seasons, it's hopeful to know that there's still a good one out there that might end up as my bow kill. We'll see.

hoosierhunter Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I also found out that my neighbor shot the decent 8 I passed on opening morning, so thats a bit of a downer, but for most people he was a shooter so I can't be mad. Other than that, I didn't hear about too many big ones going down around me which is nice to hear. Hopefully next season will be even better than this one.

NiteRunner Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well not much going on here. I was hoping to go for a hunt Tuesday after seeing a nice buck on the property Saturday, but it got to be like a whiteout about 1:00 on so I didn't go out. My chances are running down though.
