OhioMatt Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Overall i was satisfied with my thanksgiving break. I was able to hunt quite a bit and saw a ton of deer just not too many shot opportunities. I saw 4 different bucks on one farm i hunted the first few days but only one of those gave me an opportunity. i had a decent 7 point come in and give me a 14 yard shot and shot right over his back. I knew i had the pin right on him so i went home and shot my bow a little more and then went to the bow shop. The archery pro spotted what was wrong right away. My arrow rest silencer was causing catching my flethching when i shot, kicking the arrow in various directions. With a few minor adjustments I was back at it and dead on. I hunted that evening and watched 7 does and 2 good bucks. The two bucks made scrapes about 65 yards from my stand but wouldn't come any closer. Went to eastern ohio over the weekend and saw two more different bucks but no opportunities. I could have shot a doe but a buck was following her, he just wouldn't come in on my trail. Hope some of them make it through gun season that started today. Its been somewhat of a rough season and i wont be able to hunt until Dec 15!! Thats when christmas break starts for this college boy... Srroy for the long post, just thought i would share my stories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
