KTMMIKE Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi Guys/Gals, Just checking in. I do not have a deer to add to our score yet but hopefully soon. I've been seeing plenty of deer & put a bad shot on a very nice buck and was unable to recover him. Hopefully he's still alive. Good luck to eveyone!

Bowtech_archer07 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I shot a button buck this morning at 30 yards with my muzzleloader. Will put pics up in the submission thread in a few.. Gonna be back out as I still have an either-sex tag, i'll be looking to upgrade. Good luck to all!!

ilhnter Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I shot a doe opening morning of Illinois shotgun season. Only saw 3 deer the entire weekend. Congrats bow on the button buck. Maybe second season you will be able to upgrade. good luck everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks, il. I saw 4 deer all weekend, including the one that I shot. Not a lot of shooting. It was definitely a slow gun season. Hopefully things pick up. I will be home all week for Thanksgiving break and a family friend saw 3 BIG bucks on some property so hopefully I'll spend some time in a stand out there and maybe get a shot at one of them. If not, i'll have 2nd season to hunt, like I said, hopefully movement picks up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I agree with you bow, not much movement at all. Also there was very little shooting all weekend in our area also, which is weird. It usually sounds like world war 3. I hope second season picks up.

ilhnter Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Here is a pic of the doe I killed on opening morning of Illinois Shotgun Season. I shot her around 7:20 friday morning at about 35 - 40 yds. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccwhitey Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Congrats on the awesome buck KTM. I've been hunting hard since this last sat which was shotgun season and have only seen two deer:mad: I don't know what the heck happened, but hopefully I'll have some better deer before I head back to western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I haven't been able to get out as much as I would like this week. Some things came up and I got busy. I've been out 2 mornings and haven't seen a deer. I'm seriously starting to think that there are no deer in the areas that I bowhunt. This is starting to get depressing and ridiculous. I've been hunting for a month and a half and have yet to see a buck I can call a basket-rack, much less a a shooter. I've only seen 6 bucks all season, only 2 of them being bigger than a spike or forkhorn and like I said, I can't even bring myself to classify them as basket-racks. This sucks. Hopefully things turn around next weekend for 2nd second shotgun season or Muzzleloader season. For Muzzleloader season, i'm going to a place where big bucks are often seen and consistently taken, so hopefully I'll get something in 3 days of hunting. Good Luck to all!

ccwhitey Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Same boat as you Kyle. I've been out several times this week and have only seen two deer since gun season began:mad:, which was this last friday. I do plan to hunt the second gun season this time taking any doe I see or a buck above 140 class. Good luck to all and hope a big one walks in front of all of you:D;) cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi folks. I just got back from the 9 day gun hunt. Hunting was good for our group this year, and we put 12 on the deer pole. I shot a doe on Monday, a half rack buck on Wednesday, and a real nice 8 pointer on Friday. Here is my big dilema though, I used my tag on Wednesday to burn the buck tag for this year. That one only has 4 points on it. In Wisconsin, you can group bag, and I had my son tag my nice 8 pointer. I'm not sure if I can count the 8 pointer towards our total, or not as I killed it, but don't have my tag on it. If I can ever figure out how to get scanned pictures in here, I will get the pics in here. Nice buck, KTM. That is a dandy. Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hey Dawg, you should PM texastrophies and ask him. Since you legally harvested the deer, and legally tagged it, I don't see why you couldn't submit it. But i'd ask him and see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Well I just found out I'll be home Thursday afternoon for IL's second gun season!!! Good luck all. I'll be looking to upgrade all weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm still trying to get my pics online. This is frustrating, but I put a post in the general forum in case someone can give me some advice. Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) I need to see if this works for my pics. Hopefully, this is a pic of my 8 pointer Edited December 7, 2008 by bulldawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 It let me put one pic in, but no more. So, here is my 4 pointer. Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
