IowaDeerHunter Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well I shot a 11 or 12 point on Saturday Morning, only probably is the shot was not lethal and he lived on. Here is the story......My brother was filming and I was hunting, we were watching this doe out in the field feed 75 yards away. All of a sudden she looked back and started to quickly move at at angle towards us. What I did not know was that there was a buck 45 yards away from me feeding in the corn (altough my brother was filming him). I whistled to stop the doe at 40 yards and came to full draw. My brother seen my arrow being drawn back and said "no, no, no, no, big buck over here". I let down and turned around, the buck was 50 yards away in the con field. He seen the doe and started making his way on the exact path she did. So I quickly ranged him at 45 yards, stopped him, and shot. The arrow zipped right threw him in fron of his shoulder, not high or low, or waaaay in front, but just on the front side. He ran off and stopped and licked his wound, jumped the fence, walked around, and walked off up a couple terraces and over a hill. We waited a half hour, got down and got my arrow, there was just a little blood smears on the fletchings, otherwise clean...but I know it passed through. There was good blood where he had walked and then stood....the blood eventually stopped as he sealed up. We waited seven hours, came back and searched high and low through timber, corn, and CRP fields with no result. We stopped at dark and came back and looked some more on Sunday, and I am guessing that he still lives on because I looked at a deer anatomy chart and if you do not hit the jugular, windpipe, or spine, there is not much to hit in front of the shoulder. After watching the video I seen the buck was definetly a typical 11 maybe a 12 that would score in the 140's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hunted all this week and saw nothing even close to a "shooter". My buddy did get a MONSTER 9-pointer off my hill, though (pics in the Bowhunting forum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Shooter Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Got my Ohio trip coming up this Saturday, I hope to have some points for us when I come back. Good luck to all of you and be safe out there. Good buck and congrats Bowhutner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer_slayer08 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Got an button buck. 5 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Sorry I've been scarce...too busy working and hunting. Anyway, I hunted seven of the nine days of our ML season and saw plenty of deer, but the only shot that I got was a clean miss unfortunately. I've seen that same buck, a nice 4 1/2 year old I've taken to calling "golden horns" because his rack is a golden yellow color, two more time since. He would be my biggest buck ever if I can put a tag on him. I'm going after him hard next Saturday morning and hunting every day I can from then on through our rifle season's close December 2nd. After that I'll be able to doe hunt through the end of December with special management tags (we're in Oklahoma's Deer Management Assistance Program, or DMAP), so even if G.H. gives me the slip hopefully I'll at least checkin five points for the team sometime soon. If I'm scarce on here again, I'm in the woods. Good luck to everybody and hope we all get plenty of time out there and get a chance to tag a brute!

IowaDeerHunter Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Well I came oh so close this weekend. My brother was filming and we had a nice 145" 8 point coming right to us, he was walking (angled towards us), I was getting ready to draw when my brother, in the most quiet voice ever whispers "I'm on him" somehow the buck hears it, stops broadside and is staring right at us. He turns around and trots off. Other than that I had a 2.5 year old fifteen point under our stand one day and the next day had him at 40 yards. He is an awesome looking deer, but hopefully will have a great future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Nothing much here. Passed on two 140+ deer. Had an 170 - 180 inch deer at 30 yards, however, there was too much brush. He stopped coming to me because the farmer was combining corn 150 yards over the hill. I will keep trying for that big boy. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Well.........bow season's over until after Christmas. I hunt little or none with a gun. So I am currently 0 for '07. Guess I gotta wait a while to try to contribute to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have an 8 point down. I'll get pictures uploaded and get it posted in the entry thread asap, then check back in here with the story. Hope everyone else is getting out and enjoying the fall woods!

elnor Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 My buck is in the contest entry thread here and I've posted the full story in the Deer Hunting forum (click here). Should be thirteen more points for the team. How's everyone else doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bowhunter56 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 good Job, he's a good one..we can use the points.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Way to go! Great buck!!! I have not had much luck, I have hunted this one spot hard and seen many bucks, it was just a matter of time before one came within range. Well my brother hunted there Saturday morning and shot one. The rst of the weekend I hunted over a cornfield and had 13 deer within 90 yards the whole night. Hopefully I can tag a nice one during gun season.

elnor Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I was out a couple of days last weekend and killed two more does using management tags. My buck hunting is closed but I have additional DMAP tags to try to fill during December. Anyone else have an update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Congrats elnor! I got skunked in Ohio but only by choice. I let several small bucks go, (spike, 4, 6, 8 point bucks) I was on a bruiser about 20" wide main frame 10 or 12 point, just couldn't connect with him. Got one more hunt here in NC coming up, maybe it'll then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elnor Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Anybody still hunting? I'm planning to get out this weekend for one last DMAP management hunt, then I'll "call it a season". Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Saw some does and missed one "gimme" shot to fill a DMAP tag last weekend. Now I'm putting away my gear and dreaming of spring turkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've been out a few times since New Years. Saw 23 deer yesterday morning. Only 2 bucks and neither was a shooter. There's another group of 5-7 bucks running together on my property. I haven't seen them myself. But 4 other guys have. No shooters in that bunch, either. I did see a buck that appeared to be about 15" wide last weekend. Still not a buck I'd take. But there's some hope for next year. I'm not too convinced there's any shooter bucks left hanging around on my place. Still like to go out and sit in a tree, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
