Gator Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well here it is, Nov 15th, the rut should be going on right now, and I am laid up sick. At least it was this weekend instead of next weekend, our gun opener is next weekend. I am off all Thanksgiving, so HOPEFULLY something will fall to the .270. Good luck to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Well team, I am back after a VERY long week, both hunting and other reasons. I did score on a fat ole doe week ago Sun and an eight point Tuesday. Now the bad part, I didn't have my camera with me, sorry guys. I did a euro on the head, and will post pics soon, and see if I can get it entered in the contest. I had to process the buck myself, and with getting ready to do that, forgot to take pics of it when I got it home. Doe Story: Not much to tell actually. Sat in what I thought would be a honey hole Sat, nothing, nada zilch. Had a feeder in both places, had seen deer in these areas before, one is where my stand was stolen from. Saw nothing. Decided to go to my other stand location, had sat in it twice, and seen deer once, far better odds than my other place. Right at dark I heard a twig snap off to my left and catch movement. Grabbed the rifle, put it up, and out she steps. No horns but one heckuva head on her, she steps into the crosshairs, and BOOOM, she takes about 3 steps, falls over grave yard dead. Needless to say I am pumped, this is the first deer I have seen to take a shot at all year. Cliumbed down, went and got the four wheeler, pulled right up to her, and then the work began, I didn't realize she was gonna be so dang hard to load!!!! And make that three times, as she fell off twice. I now have a rope on there, lol!!! SHe dressed out at 95lbs. Old doe to. Buck Story: Hunted t5he stand I killed my doe out of Tue morning, and went for a little walk when I got down. Walked about 150yds to the north, and then went west, and found a big deep draw, and a good rub on it. Went back in there and sat on the west side of the draw where I could see both sides. About 5 I had a deer come from the east and drop down into the bottom, mill around for a little while, and then leave out, never saw what it was. About dark AGAIN, I hear a deer walking in from behind me, after what seems like forever, I finally see it, and can tell it is a buck. I was sitting facing the west, and this deer is at 55yds or so and to my south. Had to shuffle around so as to get turned so I can get my rifle up to take a shot. I finally get turned, pick hijm out, settle the crosshairs on his shoulder, and BOOOM!!!! He runs and proceeds to die right in the bottom of that draw. Luckily I was able to take my four wheeler down into the bottom of it, load him up and drive up outta there, but I was worried it wouldn't make it, but it did. Here is the only pic I have of him, I'm pissed I didn't get anymore that this one. Edited December 1, 2008 by Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny_gun Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 After 2.5 weeks of the NY Gun season I have shot a buck and a doe. Unfortunately the buck was not bigger than my archery buck so no more points for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Well, got a doe down here in SD with the ol' ought 6. DOn't think it will count though. A buddy of mine from college and I were hunting and he made a terrible shot with his .243 at only 25 yards. What's worse, he didn't check the background and could have shot one of our vehicles. We were walking a switch grass field and where on our way back to th vehicles. We scared two does out of their beds, one dissapeared and the other my friend shot up the butt. It dropped and he went to look for it, the doe was behind him, very much alive, and was sneaking around him to cross the road. At five steps my .30-06 dumped her in her tracks. In a way we both claimed we doubled on it, but he tagged it. Big nice fat doe though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny_gun Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 NY Hunting Season is Over... Well the NY Hunting Season is over and unfortunately I was not able to connect on another buck so I guess my archery buck is my entry for this years contest.

Rem308 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm with you, I have 1 more bowhunting day left for the 2008 season. It's been a fun season, I just didn't see the antlers I had hoped for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenderhunt4 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well, I was able to connect on this late season buck with my bow after our gun season was over. I'm definitely happy to get him this late in the game. I had passed him up during the bow season and knew in the back of my mind I would take him if I didn't shoot something else before December rolled around. I sure didn't see the size of bucks I had hoped for this year and it was actually a very challenging season for me with a lot of mishaps and bad luck. All in all, I'm glad to have him in the freezer and I'm getting my turkey calls tuned up for spring! It's been fun talking with you guys and it's good to know there are still some open-minded, good-hearted people who enjoy and support hunting in the great outdoors!

Dakota Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Awesome buck, bud! I've yet to get my first deer with a bow, but I'm hoping to change that this year. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
