VABuckSlayer Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 We're about to get some storms but if it's not too bad I'm going out tonight at my Aunt's farm. Haven't hunted it yet. Tomorrow I have to stay close to home. My boy has a soccer game from 10-11:00am. I'll hunt behind the house in the morning then back there again in the afternoon. I have to go to an engagement party for one of my wifes friends tomorrow night. Man does that suck! The party starts at 7:00pm but I'll be late because I won't be climbing down from my tree until then... unless I put the smack down on one!!! Good luck this weekend guys!!!!!

arrow32 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Had a decent weekend here. The winds were hard all day yesterday but climbed up anyway. Saw 5 doe through the morning and thats it. Couldn't get a shot on one of the last 2 that strolled in. She just kept giving me shots when she was behind limbs. Thats hunting. Good luck to you guys. I'll be back out Tuesday and I hope letting one fly true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Didn't see anything Friday night. Saturday morning I bumped a deer going to my stand in the dark. That afternoon I saw 2 fawns and a 2 1/2 year old 8pt. He came right under my stand. The property I was hunting the landowner told me if I shoot a buck there I have to mount it. That buck wasn't worth $500 to me so I had to let him walk. It's going to be warm the next couple days so I probably won't hunt again until mid week. You guys go get em! btw... bucks are really starting to push the does around here now! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadeye270 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Took my little cousin out for the morning saturday. I was filming and he ended up getting a nice spiker at 256yds. I couldn't be happier to see this kid take his first deer. He is hooked for life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whttlbucksteve Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thats a far shot for a first deer Tell him Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadeye270 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 No doubt on the far shot comment.... I knew the gun was on, but I have never shot one that far. I didn't think the deer was that far away until after the shot I got my rangefinder out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 It's been raining here pretty good for 2 days now. Man we needed it. I might go this afternoon if the rain lets up some. I'm definately going Saturday and maybe tomorrow evening if I can get away from work early enough. Our smokepole season starts next Saturday. I'm looking forward to that!

Buckslayer Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well guys, I'm officially on vacation until Nov. 5th. So I'm going to "work in the woods" for a little while and maybe smack a big 'ol buck. Hope everyone does well. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Got out tongiht after school guys saw 2 bucks no shots. Was walking in and had a very nice 6pt to my right about 50 yards. Decided since we are just barely pushing two weeks into the season to back out because he was moving away also decided that I would bump into a lot more deer going to the stand I was going to and moved out to go to another one. Got in it didn't see any deer till just before dark and a huge bodied 4pt walked in and messed around. Wouldn't have taken him even if he had given me a shot nice nice body tho. Will be back out Saturday. Good luck to you guys this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Went to the club after work yesterday. It rained all day but turned to just a light rain or mist that afternoon. I hunted an area that I always hunt but climbed a tree a little closer to the creek. I had deer around me all night. I saw 3 bucks and a doe plus 2 unknown deer. I had a nice 8pt start to chase the doe. He showed up out of no where. I was about to draw on him at 23 yards when he stopped behind some brush. It was very tense for about 2 minutes and instead of taking the 2 steps I needed for an open shot he went back to cut the doe off again and never gave me a shot. Man my blood was pumping for several minutes! A little later I had a 1.5-2.5 year old 7pt come right to my tree. He just wasn't big enough for me to let an arrow fly but he offered a shot. Was a pretty good hunt overall and I'm a little more excited to get back in a tree again. I'm also glad we are finally getting some GOOD rain!

whttlbucksteve Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I saw alot of diffrent bucks and one 160 10 point.Nothing close enough to shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I've had some close calls the last few evenings. I drew back on a nice 8pt but I needed him to take 2 more steps and he didn't do it. He chased off a doe. I drew back on 3 different does and passed on 2 then couldn't get a shot on the other. I've seen several small bucks that I've passed on. The big boys will hopefully be moving good here real soon! Our smokepole season starts this Saturday and my TC is sighted in and ready to go. I'm off 3 days next week and the whole week of Thanksgiving. Hopefully I can put a big buck down by then! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Well still no deer down here. Been close just nothing big enough or well just giving me a shot.

VABuckSlayer Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I saw 2 small bucks Saturday and that's it. I'm off Wed. through Sat. this week. The temps are suppose to drop and the bucks are really chasing. If I don't get it done this week... then I don't know. I should at least get a doe if nothing else.

RDNKHNTR77 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 so i decided to let my old man sit in my stand this past weekend and he stuck a monster 14 pt and couldnt find it. we were thinkin it was a single lung shot cause there was real thin, pink blood and it was sparse. tracked it for 5 hours and about 2 miles till we lost the trail. hopin that big boy is still alive. i saw 19, 10 of which were bucks but nothing i was looking for. saw one nice 8 pt. thatll be a fine shooter next yr. next weekend ill be in my stand and hopefully have the same chance my dad had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whttlbucksteve Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Man that sucks I lost the first deer I ever shot.If you can give it another look I would if you got one lung he should have died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Wow that does stink about that big boy Paul.... hopefully he is still alive somewhere. Just wanted to give you guys an update of how I've been doing... I saw a lot of rut activity last week but the big boys were not running.... only little guys. I saw not one buck with 4 points per side. Had a really pretty white horned 5 point in at 20 yards last tuesday but not legal. Hopefully I'll connect this Friday or Saturday. Have work Mon-Thur.

arrow32 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Tonight came up with another bust. Saw 4 doe. Was on the ground and trying to get a shot on the big one of the 2 that were in right about 30 yards. But when she finally gave me a shot the other doe was directly behind her maybe a yard or two. They both kept looking down behind me at something and walked up over the hill. Another bust. Will be back out Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hey guys, I've been hunting hard the last 3 days. Went behind my house for a little while this morning before my boys last soccer game. I've been seeing plenty of small bucks but nothing worth shooting yet. I'm going back out this afternoon. I might shoot a doe tonight just to put one in the freezer. I don't know if I'll get a chance to hunt during the week at all but I do have all of the following week off. Maybe that will be my best chance. Good luck guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
