rad_112176 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hey guys, Nice buck and does Ranchhand. Looks like you are a busy man now. I hunted both saturday and sunday morning and seen a bunch of does and had a spike and a 6 point at 8 yrds from my stand. Still holding out for a 120" or better. May take a small call buck later in the year if i don't get anything. Me and my 2 brothers did a grid walk today after we got down trying to take one last look for that buck. Didn't see anything. I had a couple of spots that i thought he might bed up and didn't want to go the rest of the year wondering. This is the last time we are going to look for him and let the area settle down and clear our scent out of there. The rut looks like it is going to kick in early this year around here. We have seen a few bucks trailing does already. They were only following, but they were acting like they didn't want to leave them. Does anyone know what the winning score was last year? I can see us getting to mid 50's and maybe even in the 60's at this rate. LOL. I can see deerkillr putting us some points on the board soon. Go get em.

Guest tarbaby Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well guys it stormed like I had thought it would this weekend, but I did make it out once with the girlfriend. I hung two stands next to each other in a real safe spot for her to come with me periodically and so my buddy can film. We saw two does and a little one saturday night but they stayed out about 80yds. The weather is finally dropping in temps here so, depending on how many classes I don't go to (sshhh) I should be able to go a bit more. Supposed to be lows in the 40's and 30's within the next week. Good luck all Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad_112176 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Just checking in to see if anyone has been hunting much this week? There is suppose to be a cold front pushing through later this week, but unfortuneatly i am working in North Carolina this week and won't make it out till this weekend. My hunting will be limited to the weekends for the next 5 weeks while we are working on this job. The good news is my schedule looks to be pretty relaxed from Thanksgiving till the end of season ( Jan 12th ). I do have a week scheduled in Michigan for gun season here in a few weeks so i guess it ain't to bad. Where does everyone live and hunt at? I will list mine below. Talk to you later.

monsterbucks1 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Ranch, you are a killing machine woohoo, nice der my friend. Well team I had 3 does come to me Sat. morning and I had one lined up but there was this one little sapling in the way off my shot and could not risk on taking it. But I took care of that little bugger when I got out of the tree. Sun morning I did not see any until later in the afternoon but way to far. So it has been really good sign so far this year on one piece of property that I hunt. Got work doubles all week until Sat morning but hopefully The big one Shows up. Good luck team I will be checking in all week. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 3.5years old.He was about 40# heavier than our average deer.My heaviest is 168 so she is giving me a hard time..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Ranch, a big congratulations to your wife. That is a very nice looking buck. Now, get at it! I made it out this morning and saw plenty of does, both mule deer and whitetails. They're off limits at the moment, however. Looks like the bucks are coming out only after dark. Rut will start kicking in soon, so that will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Craig, We hunt in Calcasca county not to far from Morris Town. We have gone there for years and camp on state land. We have 6 to 8 guys that stay in our camp off of Fletcher Rd and then a few other guys that we know that stay in camps not to far from us. We have done pretty decent that past few years. I took a nice 8 pt with my pistol last year and my dad took a 130 class 10 pt about 4 yrs ago. That area has good deer in it, but it is hunted pretty hard and then they clear cut areas every year so you have to change your stand locations almost yearly. We really don't go for the big bucks. Getting my brothers and my dad togather along with a few friends is what it is all about. Ok, maybe a little beer drinking also. LOL.

rad_112176 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Craig, There always seems to be the friends that show up around deer season wondering how the season is going. LOL. I usually have a few does in the freezer already, but i am trying to hold out this year. It has been kinda fun though. I have some awesome footage on my camcorder of deer all around my stand and even some right below it. I am going to start taking my camera out with me so i can get some pics that i can post. We are going to Illinois to hunt this weekend since they just had the severe storms yesterday and the winds were in the 20 to 30 mph range all day today. Suppose to be 43 in the morning so i think the deer will be on the move. Good luck to everyone this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad_112176 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Ranch, Nice buck. I went out Saturday Morning and had a pretty good sit. I seen 17 deer and approx. 30 turkeys. No cugers this time. I seen 9 different bucks ranging from a little spike to a 150 class 10 point. I had the 10 point about 15 yrds from me through a tree and he was walking right down the trail that opens up at my shooting lane at 10 yrds. He stopped about 5 yrds shy of the shooting lane and looked across the grass opening at which time i also looked across to see a decent 8 pointer and another buck that i couldn't see his rack very well step out into a opening. Once he seen that 8 pointer he took off on a dead run right after that buck and never let up. Definately a great day to be in the woods. All the bucks were either chasing does or following not to far behind a doe. We are taking the camper up this weekend and spending 3 days of hard hunting. I have 2 more good weekends of low hunting preasure before i go to michigan and the first weekend of gun season kicks in. Always a little harder to get on them after the first part of gun season.

monsterbucks1 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well Team, I had the best weekend of my entire life and a little disheartning at the same time. Sat. morning started out buetiful nice morning put out some Doe scent just in case Mr. big comes along. About 2 hours into the stand I heard a galloping coming down the trail crashing into the woods near my stand, Scarring the hek out of me I turned around to see what the crashing was and there he was MR. BIG a HUGE 10 point what a body all the right features of a old mature buck sagging belly chest and neck were just one big solid mass with this enourmous Rack with a ghostly looking face. I always get rattled when deer come in but this one was just not no ordinary heart pumper leg shaker he was a heart stopper. He was at 25 yards when he stopped a caught scent of the Doe scent Gave me a perfect shot Opp. I come to full draw and look through my peep but couldn't, the peep was twisted so I could not see through by this time he is still looking my way and I could not make any evasive moves so I thought to myself I have practiced with out peep and with such huge body mass I know I could get a great hit, so the Gold Tip with Muzzy sailed on a straight and perfect journey until Mr. BIG dropped of the sound of the string, right over his back. If he would of never dropped I would be posting some truly monster pics. But the good thing is he took off about 40 yards then just started walking again like nothing happened. So sunday come along same spot a little earlier after 45 mins in the stand a nice 6 point come's in same trail Nice shot opp. I was saying Meat in the freezer time, everything came together, peep was good, Gold tip Connected this timebehind the shoulder good hit. waited an hour got down started looking found my arrow, but No blood I looked for 5 hrs no blood whats so ever. I have never had this happen to me, I felt heartbroken not even a track to find I am going to do another search this afternoon for a final look. Sorry for this being long. Hopefully everybody else is doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Sorry to hear about it monsterbucks. Sounds like the big boy didn't have any idea what it was and should be back. It sounds like all the bucks are starting to move. Hopefully you can find that 6 pointer this evening. Good luck and let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
