preacherman Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just got a note from Tim........ Said that he saw 20 plus deer with 5 bucks in the group. All too far to shoot. He saw one shooter buck. He said that it has been a great morning! Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I turned my cell phone on at 7:00am this morning, but haven't heard anything more. He might be out of cell range or something. Anyone else heard anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just got a call from Tim! He said that he had come in to grab a bite of lunch and was getting ready to head out for the afternoon hunt. He also said that he hopes he didn't mess up by not shooting that 130-135 inch buck yesterday. He said that the landowner had said that he had seen more. He also said it was just amazing to see the bucks. He hunts until Monday afternoon. He was also fixing to head back out for the afternoon hunt.

buckee Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Update Tim called me while I was grocery shopping tonight, so I hope I didn't forget anything important. Tim is not happy tonight. He had a 145 - 150 class buck come out, at around 100 yrds away, ....BUT...He couldn't get a shot at it from the window he was set up in, in the blind, and the cameraman couldn't get it on film either. So they shuffled around, and managed to get set up in another window. He took the shot, ..................and heard........."PING"..like a metallic sound. The buck just stood there for a minute, trying to figure out what all the commotion was, ...unscathed. The buck turned, and went back into the woods. Tim didn't reload right away, because the buck was gone now, and they sat there trying to figure out what happened. Then it dawned on them, that there was a metal fence-post, not 10 ft from the blind, and he didn't see it in his scope.Like I said....he's not a happy camper, but he's taking it like a man, with only a few tears running down his face. Then to top it off, the same buck comes back out, right at last legal light, at around 150 yrds. Tim gets reloaded, and then realizes it is too late to shoot, and passes on the shot. (kudos Tim ) He ain't going to sleep too well tonight, but I told him to keep his chin up. He has 3 more days left, and I have a good feeling, he's going to see ither that buck again, or an even bigger one. They saw 20+ deer this morning and around 25 this afternoon and evening, with lots of smaller bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 His exact words in a text message to me Steve! "Well, what can I say........Bill Jordan is known for the barb wire buck, now Tim Andrus is known for the fence post buck. Buckee has the info. Going to try again tomorrow." Funny thing is that I watched a tivo'd episode of Realtree Outdoors this afternoon that had Bill and the barbed wire buck. Too crazy! Hope you get him tomorrow Tim!

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Text to Tim from me: "What is the Boone and Crockett score of the fence post you hit tonight." Reply from Tim: "They are not recognized by Boone and Crockett .... but they are by the F.F.A hehe ... Like I said the fence post buck by Tim Andrus .... I hope he shows tommorow night." Thought that was funny and would post it. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said they were getting some grub then hitting the woods again. I didn't hear from him after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Got a text from Tim a little while ago.. He said that they saw a bunch of deer, 4 of which were bucks and only one may have been a shooter but it was too far. He also said it's warm ( 28 degrees ).

Tominator Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks for the update fellers. I've got a feeling Tim will see that deer again. Doesn't sound like he spooked it too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Tim texted me this morning and let me know that his buddy that he is hunting with killed a 170 class deer yesterday. He didn't have any clients and went himself and did pretty good, if you ask me. Tim is supposed to be e-mailing me some pics. I am waiting on them.

His buddy Glen is actually going to e-mail me the picture of his (Glen's) a little later tonight. When I get it, I will put it up (or get Buckee to help me). He said that it scored 173 and some change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I wonder what happened today ? I haven't heard a word. He said that one other guy that was there saw a nice one this morning. He said that he didn't see a shooter this afternoon. He is sitting on a 200 acre corn field that borders a national park. He said that he thought that they had a doe day on the national park and that might have had some of the deer messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
