Canuck2 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hey crew, I just did a quick tally of our entries-in-waiting and not-yet-credited points. If everything were to be taken care of, I think we'd have 83 and that puts us first. The teams which already have just under that don't seem to have anything they haven't been credited for yet. C'mon gang, get those entries in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tarbaby Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Well fellas I still have a lot of upgrading to do I see. Over thanksgiving break I was drawn back on a real wide deer but he was real young. His tines werent very tall and he was still pretty small bodied. I wasnt sure whether to take him or not but when I got him stopped it was behind a bush so that made up my mind for me. Hoping I can still stick at least a doe, not only for the team but for my freezer. I have finals next week but once christmas break rolls around I should be able to make it out a few more times. I'll do my best for ya'll. Congrats to everyone with kills this season as well. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hey there tarbaby. Sounds like it was a close one. The good thing is he will be bigger next year. I looked at the points and it appears that we are short one point from team #10. They have a upgrade that isn't entered yet so that doe would do us some good. I guess everyone can tell how competitive me and Canuck are. LOL. I am sure you all are just as bad though. LOL. I am trying to get off Friday to head to IL early. I don't think i have had enough hunting time so i feel i deserve the day off. LOL. Now if i can only get my workers to take the raines for a couple of days. Good luck to everyone this weekend.

ranchand99 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 My team lost last year because the boy didn't take a close up of his tag on his doe...I would like to win as well...Shoot a doe please!There are plenty to spare....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tarbaby Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Don't worry fella's... if I have a chance at a doe she will be in my freezer. The thing is though.... I havent even been within range of a doe yet this season... just little bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hey guys, Well i finished off the IL gun and muzzleloader season with no deer. Seen a couple small 8 pointers along with numerous other small bucks, but nothing i wanted to use the tag on. I only had a couple of chances at taking does, but decided just to wait until the late winter anterless season to go back and fill the tags. We did see one nice 8 pointer ( 120" class ) on Saturday while my brother was pushing a small patch of tall grass to see if we could get one up and moving. I couldn't get the gun on him in time and when he stopped he was a little out of my range with open sights on my muzzleloader. The weather was horrible all weekend. I hunted in the rain most of the weekend and the deer just didn't want to get moving until late. The good news is there is a bad storm brewing in the area today and i think it is going to be lifting tonight. I am going to head back to try and bow hunt maybe in the morning before i have to head to work. I did see them turkeys every evening at 4 o'clock sharp so i am hoping they continue with that schedule. It is getting to that point in the season where it is harder to get on those big boys so some snow would really be nice. I have the Pike county IL hunt to go on the day after christmas so maybe I can get a wallmounter yet. Keep the drive up guys and lets make it a good ending to the season.

ranchand99 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 They aren't showing points for craig or monsterbucks1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 ranch, they haven't been posted in the official entry thread yet, so haven't been counted. Both have indicated they'll be getting them in soon, so I think the next update will be worth looking at. Hunter36 took a beauty but needed to get tag photos and hasn't got back here for a month now. Hope he's not lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 hey Canuck, Just read in your bowhunting entry that you blew out your knee. Still on crutches? Hope it is healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks for the thoughts, rad. Nope, it's not any better yet. I'm still on crutches and it keeps me awake at night. I get to see the orthopedic surgeon on Friday, probably a CT scan after that, and then maybe amputation at the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 LOL. So i guess that buck really had the last word then. I did the same thing a couple of years ago when i was dragging a deer out and twisted my ankle. It wasn't as bad as yours, but it did put me down for a little bit. Hope the scan goes ok and keep us updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hey guys, How has everyone been doing? Anybody still able to get out? I went out last weekend and seen a nice 8 point shooter buck, but couldn't get him to come in. I seen him Friday night and Sunday night in the same field. I am going back tomorrow to get back on him. I am getting ready for my hunt in Pike County next week. Just thought i would check on everyone and see how you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hey rad, did you get out after that buck and what was the result? Good luck in the coming week. BTW, the knee is slowly improving. Mostly I don't even use a cane now but have to be very careful, especially on stairs. Sure quiet in here. Merry Christmas everyone.

rad_112176 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hey Canuck, Yeah it is pretty quite. Hope everyone is getting ready for a good holiday. I have seen that same buck 4 times now. I managed to get a pic of him yesterday, but it is a little blurry. I will try and post it some time this weekend. I was out yesterday evening and seen him along with a 4 point and another 8 point that probably had 17" of spread. Not much length on that one though. I got a better look at the buck i have been after and i am only thinking he is in the 115" range. I think i might still take him now just because my whole hunt has seem to be after him and it would be a true enjoyment to know i actually outsmarted him. LOL. Hope everyone has a good and safe holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchand99 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Well we only need 2 8pts and a doe to win at this point.I see we should have a doe and 8pt that aren't posted yet though. Happy holidays to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey gang. Still time to get entries in. I see Craig, Monster, and Hunter still have entries to post which will total 31 points. That will boost us to 83 and put us firmly in the lead. If we don't win this, it's not because we aren't serious about hunting. Happy new year to everyone.

rad_112176 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey guys, Well i just got back from our trip from Pike County. The deer activity wasn't all that good 2 out of the 3 day hunt, but we had a blast. The lodge was spectacular and the guides were a blast to hang out with. Both me and my brother had to pass on some smaller bucks that wouldn't make the 130" minimum. For some reason we could get the bucks to come right by our stand locations, but the does just kept out of range. Now if it was a buck hunt i am sure the does would have been 10 yrds. LOL. We are debating going back in early October next year for a hunt. Sounds like that is the best time. We ate like kings for 4 straight day and i think i may have put on about 10 lbs. Everything was home made down to the deserts and the bread. I think the biggest deer that i seen the weekend was a main frame 10 that had a sticker off of his G2. He probably would have gone in the 150" to 160" range. Either way i will say that the money was worth every dime spent and i would do it in a heartbeat again even knowing that the result may be the same. It's not always about what you kill, but more of the memories that come from it. My camera was messing up so i wasn't able to get any pics of deer that turned out, but i did get some pics of my stand locations. I will try to post some of them and some of the lodge also. Hope everyone had a great holiday and be safe for new years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
