Canuck2 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Nice going, Straight! We'll take 5 points for a doe any day; you also have a stack of premium meat for the freezer. And it sounds as if you had a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 A little quiet in here. Who has big plans for this weekend? Looking forward to seeing some of you guys cozying up with a deer carcass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I doubt I will go hunting until November again. I will get my 5 points posted tomorrow for us. Good luck to you guys and be safe out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Excellent with the doe, Straight; I think our team is leaving the others in the dust. Like you, I won't be doing too much hunting now until November. Always fun to hunt the rut, and October is usually pretty slow. Gives me a chance to winterize things.

Straight Shooter Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 My doe looks like a dink, but she was actually 82#! LOL I wish I'd taken a picture of me with my second doe, she weighed 128#. Anyway, we are off to a good start, but a lot of the seasons are just now starting to open.

Adjam5 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I was up at deer camp this weekend. Checked the cams and lots of pics of flatheads . But I don't worry, where there are girls...there will be boys. We have 2 weeks before our archery season starts. Good Luck y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Well team....i went out saturday to check a few cameras and to strap on some safety straps to a few stands...came across a scrape, so i got one of my cameras on it...set up the ground blind about 75 yds away from the scrape, got it covered real nice and pretty...all i have to do now is hurry up and wait...season opens thursday the 1st...we have some good weather coming, highs in the 50's lows in the 40's and high 30's... Oh ya, listen to this....WEIRD....so my fiance and i were out checking a trail camera on the inside corner of a bean field that meets up with a corn field, that buts up against some timber and prairie...i take the camera down, throw the memory card in the regular camera, and we start reviewing the pics as we are walking away. We get about 35 yds from the tree it was on and i catch movement out of my eye...I look up and there is a doe (think it was a fawn doe) standing right where we just were..in the middle of the day nonetheless...she didn't have a care in the world and kept on feeding her way into the beans...I just thought that was wild...they obviously don't know bow season is just around the corner...Unfortunately the camera i just took down is malfunctioning big time, and i think i might just pitch it...got a pile of all white photos - taken every 2 minutes - and some slick heads and a few small bucks....nothing big on there from this round. Good luck dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 layin, just 3 more sleeps.:yes: Adjam, it may be a long 2 weeks.:bummed: But the wait will be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I was in town this afternoon and took a swing through a neighborhood where deer tend to hang out. Lo and behold, there was a dandy 5 pt (that's 5x5) contentedly munching on someone's lawn. I must remember to pack my camera with me at all times.

Adjam5 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hey Team...I had surgery yesterday and all seemed to go well. I hurts, but not as bad as I thought it would. When my son Joe comes home today, we are going to fling a few sticks in the backyard. I will be shooting from a chair to see how my form is. I have never bowhunted from the ground, always from my summit climber. I think I might be able to get out there with the bow, before our gun season comes Nov 17th. Go team Vital Hits! Hunt safe y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Glad to hear it went well Anthony! Wish you a quick and healthy recovery pal. Do what you can, but don't over do it. Good luck, and i hope you can at least get out with the bow before gun season! Hunt safe! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 09 bow opener...hard core or stupid? So there i was at my desk, debating on going out or not after work. The only reason why there was even a debate, was due to the nasty weather. We had rain coming down in buckets, and heavy winds...I haven't missed an opener in 7 years...I had watched the darn radar all day, and it hadn't changed much over that time...green, more green, more green with some yellow...i had pretty muched convinced myself i was not going to deal with it today. I got home from work at about 3:30 pm, went straight to the couch and turned on the weather channel. To my suprise, nothing had changed. Wind still screaming at 15-25 mph out of the south east, and rain, lots of rain....now with a chance of thunderstorms...at about 4:15, i convinced myself i would go, and at about 4:25, i again decided not to go...I checked the radar one more time, and sure enough, there was a small opening...the rain looked like it would let up for an hour or so...by 4:35 i was dressed, 4 wheeler loaded, and i was out the door. I got to the huntin spot, unloaded the 4 wheeler, got dressed in my huntin clothes, bow, harness, backpack, and off i went. I was now faced with another decision...where? If the rain would let up, id sit in a stand the wind would allow me to, if it started rainin hard, i would go to the blind...well, it started pouring about 12 feet from the truck, so i decided i was going to the blind. I got to where i was going, parked it, and started walking...this route takes me by the stand i considered hunting in the first place, and then i realized i still had a bow string to attach to the stand...so i said screw it, i'll hunt the stand. finally got in the stand, bow raised up, ready to go...The rain is fluctuating from pouring to drizzling, and the wind is doing the same - breezing to gusting...After sitting there for about 45 minutes i caught movement from the right...its a 1 1/2 year old 6 pointer...he keeps looking back, and sure enough i can see another small buck, about the same size...well they both come within 12 yards and start jacking around underneath my tree and the surrounding trees. they hang out for a while, when suddenly, the secnod buck gets super antsy, ears up and forward, then he bolts. Not 2 seconds after he bolted, a large flash of lightening followed by a super loud clap of thunder unleashed! the other buck didn't even flinch...he is now standing under me at 9 yards...I am freaking out...the next thing i know i am in the middle of a pretty good thunderstorm, sitting in a metal tree stand 23 ft up in a tree with lightning flashing all around me and a small buck underneath me. I want out, and i want out NOW!!! So i start throwing acorns at him....nothing...do a few MAAAAA sounds at him...nothing....I don't want to blow him outta there, but i want him to leave so i can leave...so i bring up the bow string, attach it to my bow and slowly start lowering it down...he is less than 6 feet from the base of my tree. He doesn't even see that i have lowered my bow, so i start jigging it as if i were crappy fishing. after about 8 seconds of that, he jumped a little bit then stared at it...a few more big jigs and he finally took off! It was hilarious, but at the same time i was crapping my pants! So, i was finally able to get out of the stand without boogering any deer, onto the 4 wheeler and back to the truck unharmed....Day 1 is in the books, and a memorable one at that.

Canuck2 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Glad it went well, Adjam5. Let it heal in peace now.:yes: layin, that was quite the exciting time. For sure a tree is no place to be sitting during a thunderstorm. I took another drift through the deer infested town neighborhood today and found numerous deer. Here's 3 of the bucks; the big 5-pt I saw the other day wasn't apparent but these 2 4-pts and a 3x4 weren't very concerned about me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Alright team....so far this year hasn't started out well...everytime i have a chance to go out, its is freaking raining. We have got some light drizzle today, but its supposed to move out by the afternoon. Either way, i'm going and we'll see what the evening hunt produces... dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I will be going this Saturday with the smoke pole. It'll be my sons (Hammer) hands though, hoping he can kill his first deer. I'm getting pumped about heading up to Ohio and get a week of deer hunting again.

Good luck this weekend, and tell your son, the force is with him...:clown: Hope he gets a crack at one! Well, i did get out this evening, but..........i got to where i hunt, about 10 minutes down the road, got dressed, got my harness on, back pack on, 4 wheeler out and running, and..................i don't believe it........Yep, i forgot my bow at home. So i haul cheeks home, run in and grab it, run back out and i'm back in 25 minutes. Now the rain had moved out, and it turned to partly sunny, but what followed the rain system was 35 mph winds...Got about half way up the tree and my brains got the best of me, and i opted for the ground blind instead....just something about a tree that sways side to side about 7 feet that i couldn't get over....Had a fork horn that i have a million pictures of walk by at 35 yds, i tried to get a few pics of him, but it was too darn windy, and all the prairie grasses kept getting in the way.... I'll probably head out in the morning if this wind is suppose to die down...Just a matter of time team....I haven't had the greatest conditions to hunt in yet...:hammer1: good luck to all!

HOYTnMUZZYboy Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Took a doe lastnight. I didnt get a pic with her tho. A buddy of mine is have'n some hard times and has 2 kids and a wife to support, so i showed up at his house and said i had somethin for them. I gave them the deer to hopefully take a burden off of there finance situation. Told them I didnt have time to run it up to the meat locker and he said no prob he would take it up and pay for it. I said he could take it up but that it was already payed for. I called the meat locker which i have used for years and know the owner. Told him the situation and that i wanted to pay for it with my credit card over the phone, and he said no prob dont worry about it. I told him no you cant do that and he said its already been done, drop it or il hang up on you as he was laughing. What a great guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 That is very nice of you H/M boy:). Bless you. Always great to help those less fortunate and the butcher...atta boy to him too . Straitshooter...good luck to your son. Hope he wacks a good one:) I am walking on my knee...in pain I might add. Aggressive therapy. 3X a week. Still have some staples in my knee. But I can shoot a bow. I flung a few sticks sitting in the yard. All dead deer, but not tight. Walking back and forth for shot arrows wasn't appealing with said knee. So I shot 6 arrows and that was it. I will be headed up to deer camp this weekend. Check the trail cam and possibly have the chimney installed for the stove. Have a great safe weekend team.

Canuck2 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Geez, layin, I hope the weather smartens up for you - and you remember to take along your bow.:clown: HOYT, good for you and your butcher friend. That's the kind of stuff we need more of in our world today. As for you, ADjam, easy does it! Let 'er heal up nice and calm-like while doing just the right amount of therapy. I guess you probably have a good handle on that, though. So yesterday I took a swing through my favorite out-of-bounds neighborhood and found the 5-pt I mentioned awhile ago. Got several pictures of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
