mathews4life84 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I wanted to start up a thread for all indiana hunters to use as a bragging board. Basically if you have some good trail cam pics or kill pics, share them with your fellow hunters here. I always find it interesting to look at the bragging boards at all the outdoor sports shops i go to. Here are a few pics of my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Tom Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Indiana has great deer hunting, but stuck between Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky it doesn't get much press. BUT it holds good bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianaboy Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Indiana has great deer hunting, but stuck between Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky it doesn't get much press. BUT it holds good bucks. Fine with me. I still ask permission to hunt not pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews4life84 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 so much truth to that! fine with me. I still ask permission to hunt not pay. im not sure if many people know this but michael waddell killed the biggest buck of his life in indiana last season. Thats saying a lot considering the places he has been. I will shut up now because i dont want the press. I like being a sleeper state.

Stinger-Hunter Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) My Deer Indiana Bow Season - 2003 Shotgun this baby - Both in Lake County, IL (The Region) I go to Minnesota every year, so this one came out, running around and rutting - weighed 219 dressed. First deer taken - 8 pointer in Virginia, had to get a different cape for it, cause the butcher and then taxidermist did a number on him Edited October 9, 2009 by Stinger-Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrictlyWhitetails Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Great Photo's mathews4life84, nice pictures. You really know how to capture the moment after taking a nice buck. I'm tired of seeing pickup truck pictures. You did a great job of sky-lining the rack, hiding the blood and taking pictures before dressing the deer. Sometimes it's so easy to forget about doing this and then later your often disappointed at the quality of the photo's.

My dad and I take a lot of pride in our deer that we take. So what better way to show them off than with great pictures. We have had lots of comments of our photos over the years. I agree with you, I cant stand seeing those pickup truck pics with all the blood and tongues hanging out. It doesnt take that long to do it right.

Hoosierbuck Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 STOP THE NONSENSE! THERE ARE NO BIG BUCKS IN INDIANA! It's all smoke and mirrors! It's all photoshop! Waddell drove though here once to get to Ohio, but he doesn't REALLY hunt here. (I'll buy him lunch if he backs me up on that one.) Our genetics suck. There's nothing for the deer to eat here. They are all cross-eyed and bow legged with spindly little racks. They stand 24" at the shoulder like the Florida deer. They dress out at 65#, for the big ones...etc., etc., etc. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathews4life84 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Finally seeing some movement!! I went out last evening in the light rain and brisk wind. I was up there in the tree thinking to myself " when am i going to start seeing those bucks i had pics of all summer". Finally got some movement in the beans around 5:30. Then just before dark the bucks started showing themselves. I ended up seeing 3 bucks and 8 does. None of the bucks were shooters, but still good to finally start seeing some boneheads materialize. I am looking forward to this weekend!! Good luck fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathews4life84 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Pretty dang good weekend of bowhunting!!I woke up saturday morning to a good hard frost and 30 degrees. What more could a bowhunter ask for. Well as i started my pusuit to my stand in the dead silence, i blew out so many deer that were feeding in the beans. By the time i got to my stand i was quite frustrated. Finally cracks light as i stare out in to the standing corn. Big buck!! All i see is a big rack. Give a few soft grunts and here he comes. After looking him over real good i elected to pass as he made a scrape at 14 yards! He was a very nice mid 130's 10 point. Sunday morning same thing but no big bucks. I had a big ol' camel head come in to 22 yards and that was the end of her. One of the best blood trails yet. And to find out my dad had a few trail cam pics of a few good bucks, things are looking up for us!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
