BuckNrut Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hey team, sorry I have not been around much. I promise to do better. Like DB, I hunt the southern zone in NY. My stands are up, the scouting is done, food patches planted, and access issues resolved. Now, all I have to do is get over this torn rotator cuff injury. Got a steroid shot two days ago and it still hurts, but I am getting more range of motion. I've had some really nice encounters while scouting this year. I have a nice buck patterned and intend to pass on yearlings this year. I'm going back to using my "re-pound" bow this year. It is about 15 years older than our youngest team member! A compound with all-wheel design, a whopping 30% let-off, and laminated wood limbs. With double tear drops it is easy to change the string, and allows me to shoot fingers. I'm excited about putting this 1981 technology to use with the modern-day Boss SST 4-blades. Since I have swithched to these broadheads, all of my deer have fallen within site of my stand!

Bucknrut I hope you heal up well before the season gets here. trying to go after some bucks in the area that are 100" -125". There's lots of people after the same bucks though. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralsaskhunter Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I got put on this team recently, but I don't get on the computer everyday. I hunt in central Saskatchewan, right now it's bow season and I'm trying for a mule deer. In November rifle season starts for whitetail and I will be doing that also. I've seen lots of good bucks so far out of the farm machinery during harvest, so hopefully the weather stays hot so we can finish mudding the crop off and get to hunting!

dbHunterNY Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 You've got a nicer mulie than me. I haven't even gotten one! Congrats! Maybe you'll shoot a whitetail just as big.:yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckNrut Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Welcome to the team "sask". Many good bucks come out of your providence... Congratulations to Christina on her fine muley. How did your dad make out on the trip? 4 more days 'til bow season for me. The shoulder is "so so". I only do range of motion exercises right now. Draw weight won't be a problem so long as I can keep my shoulder loose on stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centralsaskhunter Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Welcome to the team "sask". Many good bucks come out of your providence... Yeah, there are quite a few good bucks taken from saskatchewan, but I live in the central part which has a higher population and alot more hunting pressure. I haven't seen many big bucks yet this year, but I think that its because the weather is so warm that the deer aren't moving. However, when I was driving to lanigan last night to go visit with some friends I saw a hog of a mulie... Too bad I haven't seen anything like that when I'm out hunting!

BuckNrut Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 5 points on the way! Have to get my tag scanned at schoo 'cause my camera won't take close-ups. The shot looks back, but she was 1/4 away sharply - perfect exit wound right behind the shoulder. Ran about 30 yds & piled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shot looks back, but she was 1/4 away sharply - perfect exit wound right behind the shoulder. Ran about 30 yds & piled up. Great job! Nice shooting. Opening weekend (this past weekend for you non-NYer's) wasn't too bad for me. I passed on a handful of spike horns, a 4 pointer, and a 2-1/2 year old 6 pointer. All were right under me. Same for a couple huge old does, but I'll wait until later to fill that tag. I had a shooter at 40 yards when the deer under me saw something they didn't like out in the field and trotted away. The shooter followed them of course. If he had came 10 more yards down the trail it would've been clear with no branches. I'll go back this week sometime and cut that one little branch at 40 yards for sure! lol At my house action on the cameras is kind of slow, so I setup a couple over scrapes I made. Maybe I'll pick something up. I hope everybody's situation is looking promising. Good luck! - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckNrut Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Really layin the smack down on 'em this year! Attached pics are of deer #s 2 & 3! I hunt a woods edge up against a field of partially cut sweet corn. Lots of ears on the ground & the deer are using it heavily. It's all about the best 20 yds, right?

Snipe Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Congrats on the score... Well done! I know it's early in the contest and the season for most of us but we are in third place as of 10/27... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckNrut Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm out of tags for this weekend, but "left over" doe tags go on sale Nov 1st. Won't hunt again 'til next Wed. For now, it's tutoring and my own school work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkillemquick Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hey everybody, heading out for a weeks vacation starting tonight, gun season opens Monday here and I can't wait. Only one doe tag for our group, but hopefully I can put some points on the board next week. Congrats to everybody who has already gotten a deer and good luck to everybody still hunting.

dbHunterNY Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I've gotten on a couple good bucks this past weekend, but my cousins have been flinging arrows at them. They've become noctural and aren't coming into the stand locations until shooting light has gone by. The deer around here aren't rutting much yet, but it should pick right up in the next week or two. I'm going to hold out for a good buck and not fill my tags with does, even if it takes me freezing my butt off during the late season.

brad dryden Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Had good activty this morning seen 13 deer almost shot one but in 2 weeks is gun seaon and plan on hunting the same stand so I held back for a buck and with the rut coming in I want to keep all the does I can in the area.

Randy Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Alright fellers, I'm off of work for the next seven days. The rut is kicking in, the weather is turning colder and the Alphamax is ready to do it's magic. Something is going to die in the next seven days and it's going to be big! :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
