wtnhunt Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Archery opens here in the morning, should be a good wind for the stand I was hoping to be able to hunt for the opener. Weather is supposed to be warm and wet in the morning but clearing into the day. Good luck to everyone else already hunting or with season opening tomorrow.

wtnhunt Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Nothing in range yet. Saw 6 does yesterday afternoon, they were on the opposite end of the field. Did get some video. Was pretty warm yesterday, supposed to be cooler this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Passed on a little 6 piont broadside at 20 yards this mourning.There was a bigger buck behind him but after my trail cameras flash spooked the 6 point they both left in a hurry.After that I took the camera down.Went to a different stand this evening and at 7:00 shot a doe.I hit the shoulder blade.More forward than I wanted.I saw her running on 3 legs.We couldn't find my arrow or blood after 2 hours of looking:angry:.I am going out first thing in the mourning to look for her.It is going to storm here tonight.I hope that don't mess me up finding blood.Needles to say I am sick to my stomach not being able to find her.I don't think I will sleep very good tonight.Hope for the best in the mourning.

jesse8953 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 After a long and sleepless night I went out this mourning and found my arrow stuck in the botton of a tree.No blood or hair on the arrow.I don't know why she was running on 3 legs,but it was not because she was hit.Just to make sure I still looked on the trail she was on and found nothing.I aimed for 25 yards and steped it off today at 32 yards.I shot under her.Not happy that I missed but very happy that I didn't wound that deer.We didn't find the arrow last night because I marked the wrong tree.{things look different on the ground} I climbed up in my stand and I instantly knew I marked the wrong tree.I think I am going to get a tennis ball and tape some reflective ribbon to it,so I can throw the ball and mark my spot.

wtnhunt Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Too bad about the miss Jesse, it happens, better a miss than a lost deer though. Things here were looking a bit better Sunday morning. Had a couple does walk under me. Got some pretty decent video footage. Things should continue to get better here, next weekend hopefully temps will be cooler and the bucks will move around a bit more. Posted a little more detail on this weekend along with the video clip in my blog here http://www.realtree.com/forums/blog.php?bt=788.

ilhnter Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yesterday was my first day in the stand and I made a big mistake. I had a big 8 walk 10 yds from me down the trail and I let him walk. I hesitated b/c I wasn't sure how big he was, but after he got by me and I got a better look at him, I should have shot. He wasn't very wide, but was tall and had good mass, with about 10 in G2's. I'm sick about it now, but it was only the first day in the stand. Hopefully he shows himself again this season.

jesse8953 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I passed up a small doe twice this mourning.First time she came down the trail behind my stand got to where I crossed the deer path and followed where I walked.She got to the bottom of my stand and smelled it.Same thing happened to my stepson Thusday evening.Wish she would bring he grampa with her.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) We are on the scoreboard!Considering the amount of time I can deer hunt and the 40 acre woods I hunt, also has 4 other people that hunt it.I opted to shoot a small frame 6 piont a little after 7:00p.m tonight.Couldn't pass the shot up 13 yards slightly quartering away,with his leg forward.Picture perfect.He ran about 80 yards and crashed.I still got 2 Arkansas hunting trips to get a bigger rack.I'll submit a photo and tag photo in the mourning.

wtnhunt Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Congratulations Jesse. Saturday morning had a 5 point with good potential in range as well as another doe. Not what I am after. Had two does in range Saturday afternoon, posted more about that in my blog. Did shoot some video, maybe can get some loaded soon. Had some things to take care of Sunday.

ilhnter Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Last night had 5 does come by, all within range, but never offered me the right shot. I'll be back in the woods next weekend. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whttlbucksteve Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 going out thursday and friday hopefully Ill get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Congrats Jesse, he looks like a big deer:) I wont be able to get out until next weekend. We have fall break so I dont have classes for a few days so I will be in the woods as much as possible. My brother has found a few scrapes already and has a camera set up over one and a lot of daytime pics on all our cams so it seems like the deer are moving a bit.

Jorden Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Going back home this weekend for 4 day. Weather is suppose to be in the 40's and there is according to my dad, there is a good deal of buck activity going on so hopefully I will have some luck. Good luck to everyone else;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Good luck Jordan. The weather here is going to be pretty good temp wise, but not so great a wind. Have not made it out any afternoons this week like I had hoped to. Plan to hunt a stand down near the river in the morning that I have not yet hunted this year, could pay off.

ilhnter Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I had a great weekend hunting, probably one of the best as far as seeing deer. Saturday evening I had 8 does come by and 6 of them in shooting range. I missed one of them at about 15 yds. Shot right over her back. Sunday morning I was in the stand when 4 bucks come busting in the woods. 3 of them were small and the fourth was a decent 8 point, but to small to shoot this early in the season. While watching them I heard walking coming up the ridge from behind me. Another nice 8 point walked up the ridge from behind me and stood even with my stand for a good five mins. He was nice, but I couldn't convince myself to shoot him this early. Then I look two ridges over about 80 to 100 yds from me and there are about 20 deer going up the ridge. All does and small bucks. After the nice 8pt makes his way by the stand a doe is following him. She stepped into the opening 10 yds away and I smoked her. She ran about 40 yds and piled up. While standing at the truck another 7 does ran out across the field about 70 yds from me. Yesterday evening I had 3 small bucks come out. I'll post pics later, because I'm heading back out to the stand this evening. The deer have been on there feet in Southern IL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
