Mirage Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I worked saturday and went to camp saturday night and hunted sunday. Sunday morning I found myself sitting in a 22 foot skyscraper treestand that I had hung this summer. At first light a doe came in and she didnt stay long. Then nothing happening until 8:30am. A small button buck showed up to eat some corn. He cicrled the feeder a couple times and calmed down and began to eat. He ate for about 20 min. When he looked up, so I am thinking more deer coming in and sure enough here comes 2 does. I stand up and pick my trusty browning mirage1.5 up and ready the xx78 arrow. I know the rut is knocking on the door here in florida and I want my first florida deer bad. Thats when I saw the 4 pointer he was following those does. I pulled back and gave a bahh sound to stop him, and he did. I let the lumenock light shine with the release of the arrow. Smack right on target. A pass through right behind the shoulder. He does the kick jump and runs for about 50 yards and falls over I said YES! but then he got back up and I says NO! he runs again and he crashes just out of sight. I wait about 30 min. get down and find my arrow covered in the red stuff. I follow blood and do some circles and find my buck. Now I know hes not big but it just came together so well. I was and still am very excited about this deer. He will be so good! I cant wait. I now can hold out for something bigger. thanks for reading my story!

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Well shoot, the weather is terrible, about 88* right now, but I'm bored. Think I'll fire myself about 4:00 and go bow hunting. Probably won't see much, but what the heck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Been out the last 3 consecutive early mornings and have had lots of sightings, including one real dandy twice. Will try again tomorrow to intercept him. Here's a summary of lately: http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Saw 6 does, 1 small buck and 11 turkeys. Fired up the new Thermacell and didn't see any mosquitos! That was nice for a change. May try a morning hunt tomorrow before work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hunted yesterday afternoon in a different stand. Saw 5 does, no bucks. May or may not go this afternoon, depending on how early I can wrap things up at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hunted again Thursday afternoon in a stand on the edge of a 10 acre oat field. Man was it hot! I sweated like a pig until the sun finally went down. Saw 3 does, 4 turkeys and a medium sized 8 point. Probably won't go back out until it cools down a bit. Hunting in 90+ temps just isn't much fun.

Canuck2 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Nothing on the meat pole yet, but I can't help but think it's just a matter of time. Seeing lots of deer each time out with the bow. Yesterday, however, I decided to increase my odds with the rifle; that didn't work either - explanation here: http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Seen a few does in my area but nothing with any bone on its head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Still seeing nothing but does and small bucks. Took these pics Saturday afternoon from a bowstand that I set up on the edge of a 10 acre oat field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I Shot another 4 pointer yesterday. He was at 10 yards and he just looked so good! I sat all morning saw nothing and went back and shot this buck at 5:20 last night he ran about 70 yards. He took the arrow well and I knew he was lung shot because when he took off I saw blood and bubbles coming from his side. I am having the hardest time passing on these deer. I am only allowed one more buck in archery season here in florida so I am going to try real hard to save it for a big buck! I can take one doe though!! And I will! The arrow didnt pass through. He was kinda hrad to track because he ran into a 20 acre feild of vines and weeds. But i kept on the trail and I found him about 40 yard from my truck!!! That was nice!. He is keeping my other 4 pointer company in the freezer. Hey together i got 8 points,lol. I will keep trying for bigger bucks guys tex I dont know how you do it.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Good job. How about posting the kill and tag pics in the entry thread? You can always post new pics later if you kill something bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
