Nice buck Mrs!!!

I'm at a loss. I've been hunting hard all week and there just aint a good buck getting in range.LOL Every time I do get a good buck in range something happens every time there is a shot behind a bush a doe comes by something. It never fails. I've hunted hard all week and I've not even shot a doe. The last two days I doe hunted but that didn't even do anything.

Before next weekend I'am putting atleast one deer down with a bow before gun season comes in.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I think you are trying too hard. Relax a little and things will happen. Good luck out there. You'll get him.

Cody, you have killed deer before...you are quite capable.

Like Mrswtnhunt said...don't be so hard on yourself.

As long as your out there...it will happen.

Saturday is our deer gun opener. I will be sitting with my 14 year old son AJ, who will be on his 1st deer hunt. He will be the shooter and is exempt from antler restrictions in area, he is under 17. My son Joe who is 16 now, has 10 days to be exempt from AR's, he was born Nov 25th. Then he has to play like the rest of us, 3 on one side. But I am excited to have 2 of my sons at deer camp and in 2 more years it will be 3, when my little guy turns 14.

I've dreamed about these coming moments, when I thought about my future years ago. Hunting with my kids someday.

Now... I'm thinking about hunting with my grandkids:D

I think I'm getting old.:rolleyes:

I want to wish our team luck this weekend and hunt safe.

I dont know what it is about this season I'm already stressed out and I think its just taking a toll on everything. This stupid senior year trying to get all this crap for school done and stuff is just taking its toll I guess.

Also not helping the fact is that Shelby broke up with me for right now and my head is just full.LOL

I will keep trying was going to skip school today and go out but weather ain't perfect next week tho I'll be skipping a day or two. Then gun season opens up the week after that. Something is going down:D:D

Good luck ya'll.

Hunted all day today and the weather was horrible! It was raining on and off all day. This morning I saw a couple good bucks. 3 bucks all together no shots they just skirted me every time. Then I had some doe in different times but a mature one never gave me a shot so I passed didn't see the point in shooting a year old doe.

Then this evening we went to one of my dads buddy's places and hunted with him. My gosh the wind was blow 20+ mph and it was raining on and off. We froze they called it early I stuck it out till dark. About 30 minutes before dark I had 4 doe move through but they were in the brush I was hunting a food plot they stayed down in the woods were the wind wasn't quite so harsh.

Over all it was a great day even tho I didn't get any deer down. But saw alot of movement in the morning and not much through the evening.

Good luck ya'll.

Hey team quick update here.

My oldest son Joe shot a spike and my 14 year old son AJ, passed up about 2 dozen does holding out for horns:rolleyes:

I told him "its your 1st..so its a doe... big deal...No Dad...I want horns." OK son your call, but remember I have a doe tag in my pocket if you want to shoot one".

I had a great weekend, weather was a bit crappy and we didn't hear a bunch of shots in the area.

The kids have to go to school tomorrow, so I drove them home from camp and I'm going back up tonight! It is only a hour away from home. I'll be at it again tomorrow morning!

I am out of work, so I might as well stock the freezer!

Good Luck team!

I managed to get a day off from work to hunt the last two days of the early archery season. Friday was a beautiful day and the stand I sat in in the afternoon had some activity. I had a doe walk about 3 yards too far away in my one shooting lane. Saturday rained like crazy so I got a late start out in the morning. I was walking acrossed a field to try out a new spot and as soon as I got to the middle of the field a doe walked out of the woods about 175 yards away. Of course I wasn't even ready had to dig my realase out of my bag. :rolleyes: She saw me and got curious and started walking towards me. I crouched down and tried to use my climber to shield some of my movements. She got to within about 60 yards before she busted me. After that it was a wet and soggy day with nothing eventful to close out the season.

Rifle opens up in two weeks so I should be able to score something then and then late archery opens up the day after Christmas so I still have my fingers crossed.

Shot him on November 15th, up in the U.P. He came in behind me and went into a thicket 100 yards away and worked a licking branch. I shot threw an opening and hit him high on his front shoulder and he spun around and ran to about 100 yards over my left shoulder so I shot again and he dropped. This deer has a very large body, for the deer in our area.

Thats a nice buck Craig! Congrats!

Jeramie I really like the palmation of that rack too. Congrats.

I shot another doe on a drive Tuesday.

I got her to freeze with the old "baaa" and pow! Easy drag downhill too:) I don't think does help us with the points, but it is all I have been seeing. That and small bucks which I can't/won't shoot. This is deer #5 in this house this year. My son Joe took 3 and I took 2. We are gonna need a 3rd freezer soon:D I came home today to get some clean clothes...make sure I was still married:rolleyes::D she loves me and lets me hunt as much as I want. What a gal! I'll stay home tonight and when the boys get out of school tomorrow, off we go back to deer camp! Yippie! I still have a buck tag and 2 muzzleloading tags come 2 weeks.

Good Luck everyone!

Best of luck to yall!
