BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Got a call from Tim he and Rodney did some scouting tonight and they spotted several deer he said it is very cold so hopefully that has them up and moving. He said they were going to crash early tonight so they could get an early start in the Am hopefully I can update you in the AM with a BBD from Illinois.

Tominator Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Text at 5:32 from Tim this morning says he has very limited phone service in the area but he has high hopes for opening day. It's 25 degrees with a light west wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Just got a text: Tim and Rodney are freezing, but they saw a shooter buck chasing a doe already. Unfortunately, no shots yet. Total of 5 does and 2 bucks so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Tim and Rodney are freezing, but they saw a shooter buck chasing a doe already.If the front pushing through here hits up there too, it is liable to be a bit cooler than 25 there in Illinois tomorrow morning. Hope Tim tags a monster today so we don't have to find out how cold it gets there tomorrow.:D Good luck Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOYTnMUZZYboy Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Got a text at 10:19am from Tim, Said it was cold and windy. I was still in my stand. The deer up here are move'n good, I had 2 nice bucks within 50yards but just not what im lookin for. Hopefully Tim is on some good deer!

VermontHunter Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Go get em' Tim the Deer GODS owe you this one buddy .. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Tim smoked a 150 tonight he has em on the ground .... but .... they did the cut aways and everything got down and went to where the deer was at 20 yards from where they shot him and he got up and ran off ... so they imediately backed out and are going to wait for morning before they go in ... they think have a good idea where he is he ran 30 yards and he either bedded again or fell over they arent sure and rather then push him ... they will wait till morning.

VermontHunter Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks for the update Steve,, I'll be praying that he bedded down and Tim gets his reward in the morning ... He surely deserves it .. Can't wait to see this deer .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
