mossyhorn Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hey guys....it has been a long week. I have put in about 12 hours everyday so I have been on hear. On top of that I cant hunt this morning due to the fact I have to work around the house. I am up early to cut the grass and weeds then I got to get my blazer running. I am starting to stress a little bit. I will talk to you guys later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossyhorn Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yeah I will keep on till something happens with another job. My friend killed the big 9 we had pics of last night. He gets home at 4:00 everyday and goes straight to stand. But then again he still live with his dad. Dang all this growing up crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hang in there bud it'll turn around. Got out yesterday morning to a new area me and my buddy saw some but never had any shots. First time hunting the spot didn't think we would do to good. Hoping to get out tomorrow night with the muzzle loader to see what happens.

Tom2008 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 We had an awesome opening weekend! No deer down, but very eventful. First morning we had the doe and twins we've had on the trail cameras visit both stand sites and that was it for the rest of the day. The next morning was looking up for my stand. The doe and twins came in again and hung out for awhile. I decided to stand up when the doe looked the other way and when she looked back it was like a light switch got turned on. She looked right at me in my stand and blew out of there. I was kind of shocked because I thought I was up high enough. I figured the morning was over and then ten minutes late a couple more does come strolling in. The first one in the shooting lane stopped a dime and started stomping. She spotted me too right off the bat. I didn't even move! Right when she decided to turn around and leave I pulled back my bow and got ready for a shot. She stopped in some brush and I had an opening so I let the arrow fly. There must have been a branch that I didn't see cause I watched the arrow dart off just above her back. I know it hit something on the way there. So I missed my first deer ever, but no big deal. I found out that my stand was way too open. Decided to move it 30 yards over to another tree. Now I'm on the opposite side of the trail the deer are coming in on and brushed in well. We're going to try and go up for the day on Saturday. Going out to Wisconsin tonight on to a buddy's property. I'll try and bring back som pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Too bad on the miss Tom! Looks like you should be in that stand every afternoon you get a chance though.... Maybe you can put the thwack on Buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossyhorn Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just got back in from hunting guys. Didnt get anything...didnt see anything. Turns out our fish and game plant random food plots on the public lands now. So far we have found a corn field and today sugar cane, both in wierd area. We found a massive trail coming from the hills down to the cane. Did we set up there,no. We went with our guts and moved low to a fresh cut field that is full of clover. Good spot just no movement today. Oh yeah my buddy lost the monster 9. He didnt want to even hunt today but I talked him into it. He hit it far back and lost blood. He looked all day yesterday with little luck. He got back on blood and went 200yards. It started to get that nasty brown gut shot color and then was gone. So yeah he is kinda sick right now.

Tom2008 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Well of course I could of smoked a Wisconsin doe tonight if I only had a tag. I talked my parents into getting me an early christmas gift though. It looks like I'll be getting a Wisconsin doe and buck tag for archery season. Pictures from tonight sitting over a turnip field. The buddies I was with saw 14 other deer, but none within range. Was a good night for us. View from stand over small turnip food plot. Scent-Loked up These two does came in downwind of me and chewed on turnips for 15 minutes down wind. This is coming from a true beleiver in carbon clothing.
