I am from Ohio and our season started Sept. 29. and goes to Feb. 4th!

proudowner Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Thats good to hear HG! I was out Saturday and Sunday. Sunday I just saw a couple of does but the woods were quiet, I think do to the 20 mph wind. Sunday was a lot bettersaw three Bucks one was nice the other 2 were spikes. I saw about 7 does. I was about to let an arrow fly at one of the does when she stepped right behind a tree ans I was half way squeezed on my backtention release! Not sure how it didnt go off when I let the arrow down!! lol No shots this weekend but the rut is heating up. We saw a ton of does and several bucks out in fields on the way back to the stands after lunch break that my buddy insisted we take!!!! I am hoping to get out Friday maybe or Sunday. Good luck team!

Adjam5 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Been out a few more times, and seen nothing to shoot. My son and I have been upstate at our land to try and get a shot at the bear that has been spotted locally. No luck. Last night brought in a killing frost,27degrees. The coldest it has gotten all year. That ought to get the bucks movin' down here. I also just was mailed another doe tag for my area from NYSDEC. I was turned down when I requested it and received a preference point for next year. The letter they sent said not enough people applied for that unit so there are extras. I'll take it. This tag will be filled for the venison donation program. I had to buy another freezer to keep the 2 deer my son shot this year. With 2 of us collecting venison, space gets tight in the freezer. Hope everyone got to get out a bit and enjoy outside this weekend. Go Team APH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Nice Buck Ambuscher...Well done! MY son and I were out this weekend in The Catskills of New York. We are in a 3 on one side area for the bucks and the doe tags are given out VERY sparingly. I saw a spike and about 20 turkeys. One busted me, sent out the PUTT alarm as I was drawing on them, and that was that, they were gone:(. Cool hunt none the less. Seen nothing else this weekend. We also dropped of my sons buck at the Taxidermist. www.nevestaxidermy.com While we were there, the taxidermist got a few pics sent to him on his cell phone from his son, who is hunting in Pike county, Ill as we speak. He knocked down a 180" (green) buck. We saw the pics on the cell phone...Ohhh! one day. He is doing a full body mount. Cool. I'll post the when Joe gets his mount back.

Ambuscher Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 We have the three point rule here, too.And on the public land hunt we are allowed to shot a doe. On day one I had a spike and a very small six point come through about an hour apart. I did manage to get a bobcat before I climbed out of my stand on that day. Day two I had a doe and two little ones come by, but couldn't get a shot at the doe. Good thing though because about thirty minutes another doe came running by me with this buck in tow.

Ambuscher Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I had a small six pt. and two does come to me about one hour before sundown last night. Going to go again today and see if I can't find that little six's dad. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Well team...opening day came and went. I shot a doe last Sunday morning and did not see any shooter bucks. There is a antler restriction of 3 on one side in the area I hunt. It makes it a tough hunt:( But...I filled my doe tag:) In my usual spot...in my food plot:D . 10 deer have met my freezer from that stand. Its a keeper. I came home for Turkey and to see my wonderful wife and kids:D get clean clothes, a few of my sons and back up to camp! How is everyone else doing? Have a Happy Thanksgiving all, say a prayer for and keep in mind the soldiers of Our Great Country who can't be in their tree stands hunting or with their families this holiday.

Ambuscher Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Adjam5, did you get pics of your doe? If so we'd like to see it. I got to go out today, but had no luck. I did manage to get my second bobcat for the year. I'll be out tomorrow trying to better our score. Later Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Here is a pic of the doe and my trusty 30/30;) She was the medium sized doe in the bunch of 5. Didn't want to shoot the fawn or the lead doe. Have plenty of meat in the freezer from my sons 2 deer. I got lucky taking her, she was a dry doe, mature but not lactating, so the perfect management deer. Here is also a 30lb yote and my son skinning it, that was shot on a drive last saturday.

mule659 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Well guys things are going great here for me...too bad you can't submit more than one deer. It seems like I cannot stop lol...every night I have the chance to kill does and there are a few bucks I am hoping for one maybe even bigger than the one I submitted.

Adjam5 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Got back a few hours ago from deer camp. Personally I shot nothing, had many flat heads in my sights and no shooter bucks. Went on a bunch of drives, and almost every drive produced deer. Saturday morning a 8 pointer was taken on one of the drives. A coyote was dropped on the run on another drive, by my neighbor Bob...cat with his .243 . 2 doe were taken on a certain not to be mentioned golf course Its OK ...we were with the caretaker . Jeez a lot of walking driving a golf course... pant... pant...people rent carts for this and we were hoofin' it in the snow. We kept chasing a flock of turkeys from one wood lot to another on the course, a lot of laughs. Had some nice snow Sunday morning and the temps dropped. Made walking anywhere a crunch fest. My walk this morning showed me how the deer are pawing at the snow to get to food plot greens. The apple trees to my suprise are STILL holding apples! Hope everyone did better. A few pics from the weekend. The drive that produced a 8. Thats me on the far left. Another drive ending. My venison BBQ at 15 degrees A big shed found on my friends farm a few years ago.

Adjam5 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Guys it looks like my doe is NG for the contest. I did not take any pics with the deer so it doesn't count. I was unable to take a pic with the doe and she went right to my friend who cut it up for me. Sorry Team . Ya know if it was a whopper buck I'd understand...but its just a 5 pt doe. So competitive...But rules are rules. I didn't follow them by taking a pic with the deer. DUH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambuscher Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 No problem, if I was you I would just be ticked at the ones that got to count for the teams that also didn't follow the rules. There's atleast one that didn't have a tag picture, and one that the deer has been caped and started to be quartered up. I'm not one to raise a stink, but it just don't seem fair that all of us don't have to follow the rules. Just for this fact this will be the last year that I'll sign up for any of the contests on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well guys...my season ended last weekend. Sorry to say, I got skunked again this year...what is it with me and this contest? Whenver I enter it I get nada...oh well. Good luck for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambuscher Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I used to be the same way. If I didn't enter I could kill one. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
