VABuckSlayer Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks guys! How's everyones season going? I could have given us an extra point last night. I have a young, very nice 9pt, behind the house that I could have easily shot. He needs another year though and he broke his left g-3 tine. Hopefully he will make it through the season because he'll be a stud next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I haven't even made it out yet. I have a decent size piece of woods behind our house. There is also a good size field. I'd say the woods is around 30 acres and the field is around 25. I can't hunt the large peice of woods, but there is also small little area which is around 1-2 acres of woods. This is right at the edge of our property and belongs to the guy who lives behind us. I know he'll let me hunt there. It doesn't seem like much, but I think I might throw a blind up in there. I have been getting pictures of a few does that like to travel through there pretty consistantly since around the end of July. A week or so ago I go a picture of a nice 9 pointer in that same little area, and then a few days ago I watched him cross that field in the evening. Most of the pics are at night, but sometimes I'll catch them in there early in the mornings around 8 or 9am. I might try it, but it isn't oing to be easy to see them during the day, but it is worth a shot. What do you think?? Here is a picture of the land: The yellow is our house, the red dot is where the camera is set up and around where I want to set the blind up. I think they just use it as cover traveling to our ponds and gardens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Alright! Way to go, buddy! And, Will, you do realize I was just joking with my first post on the team thread, right? Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Saw a new mature buck in the field behind the house Sunday night right before dark. He's at least an 8pt but I couldn't be for sure. He has a pretty nice size rack from what I could tell but he's a huge bodied deer. Gonna move my camera to see if I can get some pics of this guy and try an set up on him. We get 3 buck tags so I have a chance to upgrade our points if possible!

Lee I would say give it a try there behind your house......Good luck! Lol, I'm with you, Todd. Still need to get the tags; I've been focusing mostly on waterfowl, antelope and, now, pheasants lately.

toddyboman Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Well I finally bought my tags......and actually went a couple times over the weekend. Saw deer and passed a few does (to hot to mess with them right now). It was good to be out. Actually saw a good buck but no shots......

VABuckSlayer Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Go get em Todd! I shot a doe Saturday. Doesn't give us any extra points but it was good putting more backstraps in the freezer! Saw a nice buck in the field last night when I was coming out from my stand. Was enough moon light to see him in the bino's. My wife was texting me the whole time that he was in the field. Picked the wrong stand last night I guess. Oh well, season is still young!

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hey guys, still haven't been out. I spent most of last week in wisconsin/illinois. My dad talked to our neigbor and got the OK for me to set up a blind in that small piece of woods I mentioned before. I'll be doing that tomorrow and will give it a few days before I hunt it. I also went and bought myslef a new toy today. Picked up a Mathews Z7. I couldn't help it, I shot it a few times and had to have it I am going strictly bow this year now. It'll be a bit tougher, but it should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Good luck MBH!!! I've heard the Z7 is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIwhitetailhunter Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm heading to the woods after work tomorrow. This will be the first time out this year. The weather is changing here so I'm hoping for a good weekend hunt!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Sorry guys, I still haven't made it out, and it looks like it will be another week before I do. I had posted in the lounge about my uncle having cancer. Well he passed away yesterday evening. I'll be spending most of the weekend and some of next week over my aunts and cousins houses. I was invited to go up to a friends place either next weekend or the weekend after, right around the rut. After going through this, I may have to go just to get away from everything and clear my head in the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Sorry to hear of the loss of your Uncle. That's tough. Maybe some tree time is what you need to find a little peace. Take care man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 sorry to hear about your uncle Lee....... Hunting time always helps clear my mind..... My hunting time has been so limited this year its not even funny. Its very frustrating actually......Seems something is going on every night of every day :( This weekend if full of weddings and birthday parties......hoping to get out some in the mornings but evenings look shot....... It should be time to be out so if you all have a chance get on out! I know I am trying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Well went out lastnight........Had both of my kids (5 year old and almost 3) in the blind with me.....boy was that a trip... We did see 6 does and 2 bucks. Just nothing close enough for a shot. 1 little buck was chasing a doe the other buck needs another year. Was fun and good to get out!

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) Still haven't been out. Checked the cam today and so far I have at least 3 bucks roaming around back there. One looks pretty decent, I counted 9 points in the picture, the other two are smaller, one is either a 5 or 6 and the other one is what looks to be a 7. Those, along with the doe's that have been around pretty regularly should make it a pretty good spot. One of the bucks has started a scrape back there, not sure if multiple bucks will work the same scrape? I put a scrape dripper there to see if it works. I am going out tomorrow morning and setting up a stand. I planned on putting a blind out there but I found a few nice tree that will easily hold my two man stand. Oh, I also found this small rub in that same little area. looks pretty fresh, and I don't remember seeing it around before. Oh yeah, and I finally bought my license today too! lol Edited October 30, 2010 by Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Had a great weekend of hunting.....No shots (passed an OK 10pt) but I saw a TON of deer. Several good bucks. The bucks where chasing does, rubbing trees, freshening scrapes.......It was great. The time to be in the tree is NOW!!! So if you can get out do so!!!
