[buckee]

Notice to all contestants
** "This notice only pertains to those users hosting pictures in Realtree's Picture Post" **

Be sure when uploading DEER Pics to put deer pictures in the "DEER CATEGORY"

Be sure when uploading HUNTING TAGS to put tags with the date and description in the "MISCELLANEOUS IMAGES" or "GENERAL HUNTING" categories so YOUR pics do not get moved.

This is very important if you want your pics to continually show up in the "ENTRY THREAD", because they will be moved if they are in the wrong category.

If you don't understand this post, please contact one of the moderators for clearification.

[JamesVee]

Hey guys. I'm James Vee. 23 years old. I hunt in Northwest Wisconsin. This could be either good or bad, but I'm being selective again this year. I took a couple nice bucks last year, a 120" 10 with a bow, and a 128" nine with muzzleloader. Time to kick it up a notch, I'm holding out for something bigger. Best of luck to you all.

[Mark_85]

Sweet!Congrats Young1!That puts us on the board.Our weather has been unbelieveably warm too, and it really has things going slow.i'm going to try and sneak out of work by 4 on Thursday and Friday and hit one of my local spots.

[TheNumber1Young1]

We really need a name, so what do yall think it will be?umm, what about ThE DeEr SlAyErS? Put a team name on here, and then we will decide on one...Sound good to everyone?

[MUDRUNNER]

How about :The Backwoods Bandits or The Big Buck Bandits?

[leatherneck]

I like it...hey everyone...I am just checking in. I am VERY sick right now and won't be in the woods at all this coming week. I was at the hospital for bloodwork yesterday. I do feel like the antibiotics are starting to kick in. Good luck all!

[Bob_D]

Hey folks.....I'm on the board with a doe. I'll post the pics in the entry thread tomorrow. I still need to take a close up of the tag.

Cody

[MUDRUNNER]

Way to go Bob!Man,that's a bummer Swampy.Hope you get better soon.I've been sick since Sunday,but I'm starting to feel a little better today.
I bagged a doe on Saturday morning,but I won't have the pics in here till later this week.5 more points!

[Bob_D]

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to upgrade in November, but you know how it goes.

Nice going Mudrunner.

This is the best time of year to shoot meat deer, so go get'em guys.

[Swamphunter]

WooHoo!! Getting back to good health! It cost me my whole archery season but I am finally getting better. Bloodwork came back fine, just strep like symptoms. I took the WHOLE next week to myself. Other than having to work on Mon and Thursday, I have all day hunts on Tues, Wed and Fri for ML, then our regular rifle kicks in!

[leatherneck]

Good to hear swamp. Ok who is our computer guru that can put our name on here like everyone else? We cant let them get ahead of us already you know.

[Bob_D]

I kind of like the name "Team 7". Much easier to find. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

If you want the name changed, I believe you will need to contact Need2hunt and have him change the title of his original post.

[JamesVee]

I passed up this decent eight point on Tuesday. I've got until Jan. 3rd or so and I'll hunt til the last minute if I have to. I did get a recent pic of him as well from a film cam, once I get it scanned I'll post it.

[PAhardwoods]

Hey guys I had a great weekend in the woods with my bow saw a ton of deer 23 total 4 of which were bucks. Only two came in my range 30 yards both bucks. I Got to see my first buck "fights" just light sparing but still awsome none the less not just once but twice this weekend with diffrent bucks. Two of the deer bucks came WELL into range a nice 8 point and a very good 10 point.......I got the worst case of buckfever i've ever had and choked on both of my shots this. Glad i had the chance angry i blew the chance get um next time


Cody

[JamesVee]

Sounds like you had a great weekend! The most exciting part to me is getting that draw off and pulling the trigger. I worked all weekend, but I've got plenty of time yet.

[MUDRUNNER]

Well fellas,good luck this weekend!I,m going to South Dakota tomorrow morning for pheasant hunting and won't be back till the 28th. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifI should be back in the deer woods just in time for the best part of the season to bag a buck and get a few more points.We're off to a pretty good start!

[Bob_D]

OOPS! That was me....I must have logged out by mistake.

[Swamphunter]

I haven't had much luck with the weather here in NY, but I am heading out now for some still hunting and it is a pretty good day. As long as the rain holds off...it is 42 degrees here right now and should drop off this evening. Will let ya's know if I score. I am hunting an area where I have got a decent buck on my stealth cam, but if a doe comes in she goes first as I do not yet have any venison... http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Mark_85]

okay group so i went out this weekend and shot a doe right after the sun was coming upunfortanuely she did not leave a bloodtrail anywhere:( i searched 4 woods for sign for her and i came up empty...after i shot her 4 more came by me... I am going out next weekend or the soonest chance i get lets keep at it guys!!! well get er done

[Swamphunter]

No luck...wind was swirling every direction possible http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif...man it was never consistant. I only heard one gunshot tonight way off in the distance also...cool night (mid 30's), but they still were not moving that much.

[TheNumber1Young1]

Good luck everyone, we need the points.......I went hunting friday and saturday, seen a spike but got winded from 40 yrds away, just 10 yds out of my comfortable shooting range...Saturday aint see nothing, but come muzzleloader time on Nov. 5th-17th, you can expect improvements from my 4pt to a nicer buck......I really wish i can get on of those big bucks thats up at my club, one of them is said to be 14pts(a big 14pts.)

[TheNumber1Young1]

Has anyone seen anything?shot anything?Lets hear your stories, we really need to move up on the board.

[MUDRUNNER]

No good hear.I spent Saturday unpacking from my pheasant hunting vacation and doing stuff around the house.Went out Sunday morning and evening and didn't see anything for the first time all year.It's been way to warm and we had a south east wind which is terrible for all of my good spots.I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good cold front by the weekend.

[Bob_D]

9 more days and a wake up and I'll be hunting again. All I can do is upgrade. I can't believe others have not had more action. Do we have a couple team members that are M.I.A. ?

[Mark_85]

im here been busy hunting trying to rack up points no luck so far

[Swamphunter]

I have not had any luck yet...I work only 2 more nights, Wed and Thurs and then I am on vacation for 2 weeks. Hopefully will put something on the board then. Man, I am just not having a good season. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[TheNumber1Young1]

Ok guys, plans changed for me this weekend, instead of going to the club Saturday monday and tuesday, im going to hunt in Lunenburg Co. Va with my buddy, the property is his grandparents, and they said that he was more than welcome to go with him, So we will be in the woods all day Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday, hopefully i will be able to rack up some more points, i'll let ya'll know how it goes Tuesday night.

[Swamphunter]

Add 13 Points boys! I got an 8 pointer this evening. Sorry about the garage pics, I shot it just before dark and by the time I got my climber down and got to the deer, it was dark. I post some better pics and enter it into the entry thread tomorrow. I am having it weighed tomorrow also, but the general thought in the hunting party was 200lbs. http://www.realtree.com/img/2/100_4732res1.jpg

[PAhardwoods]

Congrats swamp!!!


I havent been out in a couple weeks moved to Arkansas things have been crazy but I joined a lease today and AR rifle season starts next weekend so hopefully i can put something on the ground!!


Cody

[Bob_D]

Ok...that was odd. It showed me as logged in, but the post came up Anonymous.

Oh yeah...That was my post above.

[Swamphunter]

With my buck we are only 14 points out of 1st place! We need a 9 point to tie and a 10 to take the 1st place! Or a couple of 5 pointers!! Has everyone added their deer?? Is there anyone who hasn't got one yet?

[Bob_D]

Looks like we have 6 guys without deer. I believe a couple of those guys are good for a real corker. I'm hoping to upgrade my doe. I'm pretty sure I'll see bucks in my 2 day hunt, but I'm hunting someone elses land so I'd rather not take a small buck out of his herd. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Swamphunter,
Was that a blackpowder or shotgun deer? I can't tell from the photo what kind of gun you are holding.

Thats a Remington 700. Chambered in 30-06. I looked at the pic and the barrel does look fat for some reason. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif It looks like a shadow. Here's another pic that shows the action. That is Bdboy53's doe in the pic also.

Finnaly got out there guys, but with no luck. As I was walking to my blind, I heard something take off through the bushes and saw a flash of brown and that was it for the rest of the hunt. He is out there though, I have faith. Hope yalls weekend went better than mine!

[JamesVee]

I've been passing up quite a few bucks. Still waiting for the right opportunity on the right buck. I've got til Jan 3rd or so, so be patient guys.

Great buck and nice pics BTW Swamp!

[PAhardwoods]

I'm gonna wack um and stack um this weekend boys!!! I should sure be good for 5 points


Cody

[TheNumber1Young1]

Congrats Swamp, we need the points, GEEEEZ its been a long weekend, i went down to lunenburg with my friend on Saturday, thought we were going hunting Saturday afternoon, but i was wrong.His grandparents wanted us to fix the gap in between the chimney in the house that day, i dont know why it couldnt have waited till sunday(we had nothing to do sunday) but they were telling us about the loggers in the back 100acres, one of them said he jumped the biggest buck he'd ever seen in his life. So we headed out Monday aint see nothing, my friend seen 5 does pulled the trigger but bad powder, so no deer, and we woke up late this morning, got to our stands at 630, my friend jumped 3 deer, i aint see nothing again, but im hoping to get something more for the board this saturday, Good luck all.

[MUDRUNNER]

Wohoo!Congrats Swampy!He's a beauty!
I just got back in town from Nashville for work.Man,It's 80 freeggen degree's outside.That just aint right.I screwed up royaly last Sunday morning.I was covered with little bucks and does until about 8:30,then about 9:30 a awesome 8 pointer showed up.Prolly a 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 year old.This kind of buck is what I've been waiting for for 3 years.He came in to a scrape at 20 yards and I shot just below his belly. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gifHow can I miss at 20 yards?It just doesn't seem possible.We'll give her a try again this weekend.No plans,so I'll be in the woods Saturday and Sunday.Good luck fellas!

[Swamphunter]

Anyone??

[Mark_85]

still trying guys...

[leatherneck]

Well unless something changes for the best, I wont get to go back out untill Dec.16 and 17. But the place I am hunting those days, the land owner told me yesterday that a 9 year old girl got her first deer out there last weekend a 13 pointer!!! There are some hogs out there, I just hope they wait on me. Good luck everyone!

[Swamphunter]

You know what sucks...we have one guy on our team, that his ONLY post in Realtree was to sign up for this contest and he has not been back. Coonhunter has 1 post from Sept 21st, to sign up here, and has not been back yet. I am a firm believe that unless you are at least somewhat active in this forum, you shouldn't be allowed to enter the contest. I mean I really don't care whether we win or lose, but as long as we had the same amount of active participants, it would be a bit more fair. Oh well. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[TheNumber1Young1]

I agree swamp, its just not fair, but we the only thing we can do is kill big bucks, so it will compensate for coonhunter, I have faith fella's we can do it.

[PAhardwoods]

just wanted to let yall know i scored on a doe this weekend i'll get the pics devloped and be sure to post them......then hopefully score on a decent buck

[MUDRUNNER]

Congrats PA!Our weekend was pitifull.Still warm and 30 mph winds had deer bedded most of the day.I saw a nice non-typical yesterday,but he was out about 50 yards and did'nt respond to any calling at all.It's supposed to cool off this week and I'll be gone for 3 days next weekend for our shotgun season.There's still a lot of time left.

[Swamphunter]

Just got back from my southerntier trip (sick), and was not able to better my 8 pointer. I had an 8 point come in, but couldn't get a shot. Missed a spike (center punched a sapling after being deflected by 1/4" limb). Did kill a button buck though. Saw lots of deer, just didn't score anything bigger.

[Bob_D]

Congrats PA.

It looks like I won't be upgrading this year. I saw some VERY nice bucks this weekend, but they did not want to get closer then 50 yards. I'm probably going to take another doe inML season, but that does not help the team much.

[brownie65]

I got a 8 point Sunday afternoon that will go in the mid 130's. Put my climber on the tree at 1:30 & shot him at 2:15. Was the third buck I had seen in the few minutes I was in the tree. They were chasing very good. I honestly thought he was a 150's class deer when I saw him coming. Saw his spread & rack & knew I was going to shoot him if he came in. Then I quit looking at the antlers to concentrate on his body. He came in alright. Shot him about 15 feet from the tree I was in. Almost straight down. Anyway my taxidermist took some pictures that he will email me sometime this week hopefully. Then I will be able to get a picture posted.

[Swamphunter]

WooHoo!! Congrats brownie!!! Way to add 13 points!!

[Swamphunter]

Best I can tell, you just put us in 4th place! We need another good rack buck guys...or those who haven't scored does yet!!

[MUDRUNNER]

Way to go Brownie!Sounds like a good Pike county buck.
Our season runs into mid January,so I'm hoping to improve my doe before the season is over.

[leatherneck]

Outstanding Brownie congrats on your buck!!!

way to go brownie.....lets get at um fellas

There you go Brownie, way to go,........... Mark, dont worry about it, im sure you'll get one, the weather cant be bad the whole time, ya never know it might clear up, Good luck everyone.....Oh and shotgun season starts Saturday for us, so we will be running dogs, so hopefully i can upgrade.

Nice pics James, Well guys opening day shotgun started today, I seen a doe the first drive, got a shot on her, (she dived into the ground)i shucked another shell in the chamber and she ran off, never to be seen again http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif no blood, no hair, no nothing. If the dogs wouldn't have got on her so quick i would have probably found her. But a guy at our club was driving dogs, and seen this deer fighting a dog, no lie, and he shot the deer(4pt). I just thought id share, good luck everyone.

[Swamphunter]

Awesome pics James...what kind of cam??

[JamesVee]

The cam is a stealth AD2RT. 2.1mp. I've got no complaints.

[PAhardwoods]

GREAT pics james!!

well i wish i had good news from this weekend but i blew another chance on a good buck this season has been one of the best yet unlucky seasons i've ever had if that makes sense i've seen a lot of deer and good bucks but I just been getting the buck fever something bad this season

[brownie65]

I am still waiting on my taxidermist to email me the pictures he took. If I don't get them this week I will give him a call. I was hoping to get them before shotgun season, I know he is busy now. I have some pictures but have no scanner or way to get them on the computer. If I have to I will go to WalMart & get them put on disc so I can email them. Shotgun season was real good. Didn't get one I wanted but it wasn't for lack of chances. My boy missed a 140 class. It was a tough shot & he was nervous. Would have been his first buck. I also missed a 140's & a 150's. Still kicking myself.

[MUDRUNNER]

Well fellas,I just entered my 8 pointer.He was pretty nice.That will give us a few more points.Got him on opening morning of shotgun season at 6:40 a.m.

[Swamphunter]

Once we get brownies buck entered and the points for MUDRUNNERS, we should be in 5th place!! We gotta turn up the heat a bit guys...lets try for 3rd anyhow!! Put us in the prizes!!

[MUDRUNNER]

Here he is.

http://www.realtree.com/img/2/medium/8point2005_3.jpg

He has a 15" inside spread and 5" brow tines.I wish his g2's were a little longer.I don't know if he'll go 130 or not.I'll get him scored by the guy that's doing the mount for me.His neck was sweeled up huge.

[MUDRUNNER]

Well guys,I'm done for the year.I still have a doe tag,but filled my second buck tag Thanksgiving morning with a six pointer.I wasn't going to shoot him,but he had a bad shoulder,probably got shot last weekend during gun season.


Looks like a nice buck James Vee.Good luck bagging him.

[PAhardwoods]

Shot another doe yesturday morning i'll get around to getting the pics devloped from my first one and get the points up



Hopefully can upgrade before season

Here's what we got so far guys! I got one week left to better mine, but realistically I doubt it will happen. It would have to be with my either/sex muzzleloader tag. Anyone who hasn't scored watching some they are going to take?? How about you James?? Those were pretty impressive bucks on the pics...are you still seeing them?? Good luck guys!

[Mark_85]

[Mark_85]

ok guys, on my last buck I took a picture of the deer but no tag picture. Anyway it couldn't be counted. On a brighter note my son & I both shot 8 point bucks today. Yes,I did take a picture of the tag this time. I almost forgot again though,LOL. My wife was going out the door to go to Walmart, when I remembered & stopped her. She is going there to get pictures made. She is supposed to get some put on disc so as soon as I get them pictures will be posted. The buck my boy got was his first deer with visible antlers(last year was his first year deer hunting & he got a button buck) it was a 8 point that will go around 115". Very nice first buck for him. We are getting a European mount done on it. My buck is a 8 point that will score around 130". Not nearly as much spread as my bow deer but lot more mass.Anyway 2 nice 8 pointers for me & 1 for my boy this year so it was a good year. He is wanting to start bowhunting next year so am looking forward to that. I have seen a ton of nice 8 pointers this year.They will be really good bucks next year. Already looking forward to it. Actually looking forward to shed hunting season. OK I have talked enough,will get pictures on as soon as I can.

[Mark_85]

lol sorry about that didn't mean to type "points point points" meant to say it oncei was half awake and half passed out when i typed that

Tonight was my last night to hunt muzzleloader so my intentions were to fill a doe tag. I had a doe and two fawns come by first. (not wanting to shoot a doe with fawns I decided to pass) Not long after I recognized this buck as a cull buck that I wanted to get out of our herd since the beginning of archery season this year. It was a 10 yard shot. New England Firearms muzzleloader. He piled up only 30 yards from where he was initially shot. 7 point, 15" spread.

[leatherneck]

[Mark_85]

well i would upgrade but im only allowed 1 buck so its doe hunting the rest of the season for me also on team scores on team 7 by my name it says 11 points well if you get 5 points for either a buck or a doe then for each point the buck had on his antlers that's an additional point right ? well seeing as i got a 7 point and 5 points for getting a deer then shouldn't it be 12 points total ?

[MUDRUNNER]

Good luck leatherneck.Hope you bag a biggy!
I'm done deer hunting for the year too.We're allowed 2 bucks, and I have both already,so I'll just be doing a little duck and goose hunting for the rest of the year.
Weather we win or not this sure has been fun!Lotsa good guys on our team.Good luck to everyone still hunting.It's not over yet.

[leatherneck]

Well this weekend was a big SKUNK. I passed on a 4 pointer that walked up about 3 minutes after I got in the stand on Friday evening, thinking I would see something better,NOT!!!!!!!!! I didn't see anything else all weekend. But the lady that owns the land said that I was so nice and polite that she is giving me 1 free hunt any day in Jan. before my season ends. So I have at least one more chance for us.

[TheNumber1Young1]

Kool, well i got alot more chances, my season dun end till January 7th....i went up to sussex Va. this weekend, didnt see anything! but man did this guy kill a monster the stand down from me, i didnt have a camera, but plenty of people were taking pics,it was a 17pt, 22 inside spread.

[TheNumber1Young1]
