Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 WTG lilmiss...we may need to change your name to lilmissdeadly. Things are looking up for me. Rut is kicking in and I saw a lot of bucks over the weekend. I rattled in 4 bucks Saturday morning, including 2 different 10 pointers, but I've found out that rattling and bows don't go together very well. :bang: But next weekend is rifle season and it'll be a different story then. :gunsmilie: I decided to hunt a feeder one afternoon to see what the doe crop looked like. I had a doe with a fawn within 5 yards of my ground blind. Then, much to my surprise (and delight!) I had this really nice 3.5 year old eight point show up. He stuck around for about 30 minutes and finally ended up leaving to go chase some girls. Now, if I can just find something a little more mature...

AaronS Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ok teammates, I just went to check the Ghostblind site (link on the right of some of the forum pages) to see if the email I received was legit. Click on the link below and scroll part way down, watching the left side of the page for this month's winner. I hope I get this thing in time to use during our gun season. http://www.ghostblind.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Not on your team but congratulations Joe. Very nice first bow buck, way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'll second that congrats on the first bow buck! My weekend was interesting, but unproductive. We've had a cool October and the rut was starting to really shape up until we got hit with a heatwave for the opening of gun season. Had temps up around 80 all weekend. I did see about 10 different bucks, but nothing that measured up. Looks like the hot weather will continue on through the week and next weekend before we get a bit of a cool down. I'm afraid that this will drive most of the rutting activity into the night and make it really difficult to find the bigger bucks. Oh well, time will tell.

AaronS Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I share your dismay Texan. Our gun season opens this Saturday, and we're supposed to see lows in the low 50's and highs in the mid to upper 60's. 20 degrees above normal. I'll be out there from dawn to dusk anyway, but like you believe most activity will take place at night. At least the full moon has passed. That will help some.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Well, I'm still seing plenty of deer, but I don't know where the bigger bucks are hiding this year. Other than the 135 inch 10 point I saw on the opening day of archery, I haven't seen anything else very big. This past Saturday morning was a perfect example. I saw 9 different bucks and none of them would score over 130. Most wouldn't score 120. I really thought the antler quality would be better this year, but for some reason it just isn't there. At least I still have 6 weeks of firearm season left, plus another 2 week late antlerless season after that. Maybe something will show up between now and then.

AaronS Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Good luck to everyone this weekend. I hope to start filling doe tags. They don't add many points to our board, but they do a nice job of filling the freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yeah, I've got 5 doe tags and will definitely be whacking some soon. Now how do I convince my hunting buddies, who are all die hard trophy hunters, that I need a picture of me with my doe? Something tells me I'm going to catch plenty of you-know-what over this.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Sure is quiet around here. I'm still hunting, although it's now post rut and the action has really slowed down. I skipped last weekend to pheasant hunt. Had a good trip and killed several nice roosters. I'm planning to head out west this afternoon for another deer hunt. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

AaronS Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Been a very frustrating year for me. I was finally able to kill this for the freezer Saturday morning. I can't remember if we can submit more than one doe, so I'll have to check the regs before I post it in the submittal thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Enter the doe Aaron. 5 points is better than nothing at all. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronS Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Ok I will. I just couldn't remember how many deer each person was allowed to enter. I didn't know if I had a limit of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
