Turkeygirl Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Well I'm still out guys...late archery....saw a bunch of deer last night. Hoping a big guy shows up. Had many shot opportunities last night at some small tender ones or a 6, which I was drawn on the 6 and he spooked but oh well, awesome evening. We'll see what tonight brings along!

Buckslayer Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi folks: To those who've had luck since I stopped in last, Ruth, ssky, fly, jm's fiance.... congrats on the bucks - the pics look great! I know I haven't been around much. I got transferred about 220 miles for work around Thanksgiving time, so as you can imagine its been nuts getting everything under control before Christmas, which was my goal (as well as to NOT miss any hunting days!!). Anyway, everything is all settled and I should have a couple slower days here this week. The deer, well, I've been the focus of some family persecution... You see, I've passed 5 legal bucks this year. 4 eight points, and one 9 point. The widest of these was probably 15 inches, the smallest, 10 inches. One of the eight points was in the 90" range. The others were all 80" or less. I've got these game cam pics of 130" deer (that burrow into the ground or something during the day). And I just decided I can't shoot a little one if I want to get a big one; in PA we only get one tag. There is 3 weeks of late archery season left.. I have shot bucks at this time of year before - with any luck I will this year too! I'm trying to stay positive, but I gotta say my standards do lower as the season closes. I'm probably going to take a doe the day after Christmas. Then as time draws to a close I may shoot a buck the size of one I passed earlier in the year. Well, I wish everyone continued success, and a Blessed Christmas with family and friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskybnd Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 well our gun season ended sunday, ive got one doe tag left and should have been done hunting. had a doe and a button buck come in, and she stoped at the same place a got a shot at the buck earlier this year but missed... and as she ate with her head behind a tree i drew my bow trying to remember what the yardage was when i ranged it.. 12. 15. 20 .. 12 and wouldnt you know it i shot under her, than i pulled my rangefinder out and it was 19 yards.ever had one of them yards that will not stick in your brain, for some reason that spot looks closer than it is.. any way i will be back out there tomorrow hopeful to get the job done, but i still have 2 months left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Anyone out still hunting? Everyone get their deer entered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 i am went out tonight and put out 50lbs of corn, went out last week end but when the time came to draw the bow was to cold to do it. im hoping that i will have enough cloths on to stay warm so i will be able to draw when the time comes, last week end was great had 8 deer come in 5 bucks and 2 does, a doe tag is all i have left to tag out so im hoping one will come in early.

fly Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 The last week is upon us here in IL. A friend of mine asked me to harvest a doe next weekend during the final antlerless gun season and he'd buy the tag. So I'm getting the smokepole out one last time. Still got a buck tag, but time is running out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Last night tonight. Baby sitter will be here soon. Got a 171 incher on Jan. 17th 2008. Don't expect that, but I'd sure like to end the season on a good note. Will put the spike up if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Heard one at dark but never saw it. Doesn't look like we're in the running so I'll just leave my 5 point button buck from opening day up. It's been fun! Happy hunting to all.
