matthewjr83 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Well, I went out this morning and it was a great one. I had 2 does come in at 750, came a couple yards away from the steps of my treestand, then at 830 i decided to hit the horns a little, I just tickled the horns together and 5 minutes later had a spike come in and came within 5 yards of my stand... i believe he pushed 3 more different does back my way (the other does from 750 went in another directions)... so I believe the little guys are starting to get into the frenzy... just waiting on the bigger ones, I think probably 2 more weeks for them to really start pushing. I'm going to lay off until saturday night i think if not sunday night... Try to stay dry guys it's suppose to rain all day today and tomorrow!

matthewjr83 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 well, after all the rain, i'll be heading back out in the morning... been seeing a lot of little bucks wondering around but no big ones yet, hopefully it's not that lawl time right now, i know it has to come but i love it when they start moving!!! well good luck to you all who are going out this weekend... i'll post something on sunday if i haven't shot one by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewjr83 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Saturday: I went out in the morning only (due to other family obligations) but it was still a great morning... the morning started off with a lot of fog and cold conditions. At 750 i had 5 does come in not more than 5 yards away.. 2 shooters and 3 yearlings... i have yet to buy a bonus tag (since i shot a doe last tuesday and saving the other regular archery for a buck)... one of the yearlings walked pass an arrow that i dropped when getting set up and did even pay attetion... they stayed around the area until 830 then went off and bedded i believe... Sunday: I went out in the morning before church (had to get out at 950) and saw 4 does all together. Tonight i went out and had a doe eating in the field at 3:50. i snuck around her and made it to my stand and finally got set up at 400... 415 a six pnt (small very small) came walking out into the beans. 500 until dark i had 2 does eating and bedding in the beans...nothing else for the night... i don't think i pushed them any when i got out... i walked by where the 6 pnt went into the woods and i kicked him up i believe... you could tell he was making a scrape cause the area stunk to high heavens like buck juice.... Plan: my plan is to take this week off and half of next off to give my morning and night spots time to rest... it seems like we are in that "lawl" period... this should give time for everything to settle and to start getting into the "great" time to be in the woods... Good luck to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewjr83 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 well it seems like it has been forever since i've been the woods, but it was just a couple days ago... i figure i would give it a good weeks rest after hunting hard the past 2 weeks... i'm hoping that my 2 areas cool down a little even though i never really pressured any deer. i figured it be nice to let things settle and get ready for the next 4 weeks which will be a great and exciting time in the woods... i figure i could also get a lot of school work done during this week so i can be all ready for the woods... the weather has been crummy outside but this cold is nice for the deer... everyone i talk to has seen a number of does and a couple small bucks running around, but nothing major yet... well if you guys have anything to add just add!

mathews4life84 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 november 4th! i had a buddy call me tuesday and wanted to film me on wednesday. i agreed and while i was in my stand tuesday evening he was driving around our section at primetime and got some footage of a bruiser 150"+ 10 point just across the road from our property. wednesday morning roles around and were sitting there wondering why the action is slow, when i get the infamous tap on the shoulder. he says big buck coming in. i ease around and get ready as my eyes focus in on him! holy crap he has a drop tine i whisper to him. long story short he sniffs around up on the ridge for a half hour at 50 yds. he finally works in to a shooting lane and i give him a grunt to stop and he wouldnt stop. long story short i didnt get a shot. this deer is the most narly buck i have ever seen. his left side is a perfect 10 point side with long tines and a split brow tine. on the other side he is an 8 point side with shorter tines. now for the character. he has a 3rd main beam that is 8"long, a split brow that is really bladed, and a 8-10" droptine that comes out of the base and splits at the end. from the video he looks to be a at least a 13 point. there is still alot of corn still up so i would really like to see whats living in there b4 i go punching my tag anyway. even though this deer would gross close to 150" i know there are bigger ones out there.
