Me Either Ambuscher!! lol

[c_lou]

Let's get a team name for this winning team. We've got that willy Canadian Buckee, so we should get a few extra points in the knife category.

[Ambuscher]

Just something unique, CRAB BOWS 1.
That would be a team named after all of us.
LOL

[RackBlaster]

[bigmoss]

I leave for Sask Sept 30 and then to New Mexico for Elk Oct 15, will check in when I am back hopefully with some nice entries for us.

[Ambuscher]

Can't believe that noone has posted in two whole days.
LOL

[RackBlaster]

Good luck c_lou with your hunt this weekend and everyone else that's hunting . Unfortunately i won't be able to hunt til next weekend,:( it's killing me because i haven't missed opening day in over 10 years:mad: , but I'm just glad it's finally here.:)

[RackBlaster]

Can't believe that noone has posted in two whole days.
LOL
Funny, i was thinking the same thing

[c_lou]

Well this weekend was a wash. My daughter got really bad Croup on Friday. So I stayed home Saturday to take care of her. I did get out to clean out some stands and some shooting lanes that needed to be done.

Next weekend is all mine.

[outdoorgirl]

Hey guys.......we come up with a name yet ?? I see Buckee's back in town :) How about naming the team Buckeye since Buckee shot his buck in the eye :eek: ;) :D

[c_lou]

Do you know how much guff we would get from all the Ohioans on this site? I don't know if I could stand it.:D

[Ambuscher]

How 'bout Buckee's Bruisers.

[bigmoss]

No offence to my fellow Canadian Buckee :) but lets get a little more creative than that guys

[starbux]

How about Team Venison Vengence?

[bigmoss]

How about Team Venison Vengence?

Not bad I like that

[c_lou]

I like it as well.

[13littleones]

Howdy all.... I'm having problems getting into the deer hunting mood...Just been fishing to much of late....One good thing, my bow is dead on and I am ready on that point... This year and almost every year will be hunting here in my home state IN. and spending a week in central MO. for 9 days early Nov.

[RackBlaster]

Hey team, i had planned on hunting this weekend but now i am undecided whether to go this or next weekend, only because i bought my WI license today and forgot about that stupid 3 day wait:mad: which would only give me Monday to hunt. I guess I will have to decide by tomorrow :confused:, anyways good luck to everyone else.

[buckee]

OH, yeah ... Looks like the winning team to me :D
Sorry it took me so long to check in here. I think I left my brain in Wyoming.:rolleyes:;)
I'm going hunting with 2 young fellas this afternoon ;)

[Ambuscher]

We've still got a couple of weeks before our season opens.

[13littleones]

Hey Rackblaster........ what is the 3 day wait all about.... ?

[c_lou]

For some reason the law says if you buy a Bowhunting license during the season, you have to wait 3 days before you can hunt. I am sure there is some reason for the law, but with most state DNR's, I couldn't come close to telling you why.

On the hunting front, it's been pretty warm here, upper 70's for highs. Just a little to warm to go sit in the tree.

[RackBlaster]

Well I never did make it up north the weekend , and boy was it hard to make that decision. I figured at least this coming weekend I will have 2 full days to hunt and hopefully it will cool down some. Hopefully something else does not come up by then. Any decisions on a name yet?

[13littleones]

Hey Rack..... If they make you wait 3 days...... why not 4, or 5.....whats the diff.?? Amazing the waste of time it took to set up such a stupid bill and make it law...

[RackBlaster]

I agree, although you can purchase a gun deer license during the season and use it the same day. Go figure:confused:

[RackBlaster]

Hey team, looks like i will finally get out in the woods this weekend. I will be heading up north to WI after work tomorrow and will be up in the tree Sun. and Mon. Hopefully those bigguns are still around. I am anxious to also check my trail cam. Its supposed to get down into the 40's at night so it should be good in the mornings. I am not sure if i will take a doe if given the opportunity because of the warm weather, but them tenderloins sound mighty good right now.:D Good luck to everyone else.

[outdoorgirl]

Good Luck RackBlaster enjoy the hunt :D

[outdoorgirl]

How about Team Venison Vengence?
I like the name :D I think we have a name :)

[c_lou]

First night out was a windy one in the tree. I didn't even see a white flag. Going out tonight maybe.

[c_lou]

Well I got up in the tree last night and had a pretty good night. I found it gets darker in the woods faster with the leaves on the trees. I need to sit my field stands. Now being that we are in a Earn a Buck zone, I need to tag a doe before I get my buck sticker. So can you all guess what the 2 deer were when they came walking by? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, Yup both were bucks. Niether was a buck that I would have thought about shooting. The first was a nice big bodied 6 pointer, missing his brows. The second came through not more than 3 minutes behind him. A smaller basket 8. He grunted at the first buck, sounded like a 6 year old trying to pick a fight, he had a high pitched grunt. I couldn't see them but I could hear them, and it sounded like they were having a little disagreement about this piece of land.

It's just good to see deer. Saturday is the next night out.

[RackBlaster]

Hey team, had no luck the weekend. Sunday morn. hunted the swamp and heard deer moving thru just before light and seen nothing the rest of the day. Monday morn. hunted the swamp again and once again heard them moving thru just before light. Decided to hunt the edge of a 2 year old clear cut across from the swamp and "I'll be a son of a @*!!":eek: , some scumbag stole my stand:mad:. So i walk down to another that i had about 300 yds. down on the same edge and what else, gone:mad::mad::mad:. Both trees left nothing but the steps that they tried to take but could not get them out. Now i am so pist off i don't even want to hunt but i figured getting up in the stand would calm me down so i scrambled to my food plot stand. (hoping it's still there) Finally got up in the stand and was up there not even 5 min. and a doe and fawn came out. About a half our later 2 more does came out, then another. Then about 10 min. later another doe comes busting out of the corn and chases all of them out of the clover right underneath me and starts fighting on its hind legs with another , and then they all take off in the woods. It turned out to be an OK night after all seeing all that. Now i will have to invest in a couple more stands and locks for all my stands and maybe some cameras for trespasser's. This weekend i will be huntin here in IL , hopefully the winds stay out of the east like they say, I always see a ton of deer with those winds. Good luck everyone.

[outdoorgirl]

Wow Rackblaster that really stinks that someone could steal your stands :mad: I hope you catch the person who took your stands. glad you did get a chance to see some deer movement......Good Luck :)

[bigmoss]

Got a 10 point in Sask guys and entered it.

[Ambuscher]

WTG Moss, hopefully I'll be able to get out the next day or two. Been really busy around the farm the last couple of weeks.

[13littleones]

Nice Job bigmoss! Hear in Indiana you a finished after one buck. Can you still hunt for bucks or is that it for you as far as bucks go?

[c_lou]

Good Job Bigmoss. Congrats to you.

[outdoorgirl]

Got a 10 point in Sask guys and entered it.

Thats awesome congrats on your buck !! :D

[buckee]

I'm going out again tonight to see if I can get us, at least 5 points :D

[buckee]

[outdoorgirl]

I'm going out again tonight to see if I can get us, at least 5 points :D

Good luck cuzzzz ;)

[Ambuscher]

Been really busy around here. I did get the bow out yesterday and fling a few. Hopefully Sun. I'll be able to go set up a stand, and hunt most of next week.
Good luck all.

[buckee]

No luck here yet, but I've only been out a few times ... no rush :)

LOL

[Ambuscher]

Well, got to the spot that I was going to hunt, and there was a rig there already. The other spot that I was going to was to far back to take the kids in with me. I guess I'll just leave a little early tomorrow and carry my climber in with me.
Good luck to everyone else.
Later

[c_lou]

I have been super busy and haven't been able to get out in more than a week. This week the weather is suppose to cool back down. Hoping to get out but this week. Good Luck to all that are going out.

[13littleones]

To warm for me to go out yet, I just cant handle the bugs and trying to sit still at the same time. 3 weeks from now I wont care what the weather is and I will be out there........

[buckee]

Saw 4 does and a fawn this morning, but no shooter yet.

[c_lou]

Went out last night but saw nothing. It was pretty windy. I did find out that my stand needs some work, I went to stand up and a loud moaning sound came from my stand.

[WIwhitetailhunter]

Hey everyone. Sorry for not checking in sooner. Been kinda busy here. I haven't been out yet this year. Hoping to get out next week for a couple days and again in November for a week of bowhunting and a week of rifle hunting.

Good luck to everyone and congrats to those that have scored!!

[13littleones]

Howdy team... no pics... yet.......shot a doe this morning,,,,It feels good to get that out of the way,,,,, smoked deer sausage anyone?

[Ambuscher]

Congrats.



Our muzzleloader season opened up on Sat. Had to work all weekend, but I will be able to hunt Tuesday and Friday through the weekend.

[outdoorgirl]

Hi guys ....went out last night seen one doe....I have plenty of time to hunt up until Dec. This guy showed up on my trail cam last week.

[c_lou]

Nice looking buck. I haven't been able to get out lately, been pretty busy. I am planning on going out tomorrow. I still need to get me a doe so I can earn my buck tag.

[13littleones]

Small doe for the smoker......

http://www.realtree.com/img/2/thumbs/102008_008.JPG (http://www.realtree.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/26675)

[c_lou]

My Tuesday didn't go as planned. Well actually it did, I just didn't do what I was suppose to do. I had a doe come in around 5pm. She hung around for an hour just munching and taking her sweet time coming into range. She was pretty distracted by the neighbors cutting their corn, so that let me get away with quit a bit of movement to get ready for a shot. After an hour or so she finally gave me a 30 yard shot, slightly quartering to me. I took the shot through a small opening and connected with her front shoulder. She took to big bounds and stopped just behind a tree. She must have stood there for 15 minutes or so and then I watched her walk off into the CRP field. Now the big debate started, do I get down and check my arror or stay in the tree and wait for dark. I made the decision to get down and go check my arrorw. I was just about ready to get down, I had my bow tied to my drop rope ready to lower it down, when I heard deer coming. I got my bow off the rope and an arrow knocked just in time. I nice 8 pointer came trotting past me at 10 yards. The nice thing is he never even knew I was there.
After dark I got my FIL & BIL to help me do a little tracking. We found my arror and blood right away. There was a pretty good blood trail so we backed out. I started thinking to myself, where she stopped and stood there was impressive blood. The thing is it would have been impressive if she had only stood there for a few seconds. She stood there about 15-20 minutes so I was thinking that it wasn't that impressive after all. I went back out Wednesday for 4 hours and searched the CRP field, but with grass as tall as me and thicker than I have ever seen it, I had no luck.
After going over the shot, looking at my arrow, and broadhead blade that was bent pretty good, I am pretty confident she has just a good dent in her shoulder and a cut that will heal over. Don't get me wrong, I am sick to death that I blew the shot, 30 yards has been money in the bank all summer.

[Ambuscher]

Scored!!!
http://www.realtree.com/img/2/medium/buck08.jpg
Got a 10 pointer, today.
I was guessing him at 3 1/2 yrs old.

[starbux]

Nice one....good job to those who scored. My two week rut vacation starts next Friday.:)

[13littleones]

Nice job ambuscher!....I have yet to see a buck on the public land I hunt.....

[c_lou]

Nice buck ambuscher. Congrats to you.

[bigmoss]

Nice buck way to go !

[outdoorgirl]

Great looking buck Ambuscher congrats :D :D

[RackBlaster]

Hey team, congrats to everyone that has scored, i see we are in second place , on the road to #1:). I have been hunting the past 2 weekends here in IL and the week before last up in Wisconsin. The week i spent in WI didn't produce anything but does and small bucks . The does i passed due to my schedule and warm weather. Last weekend here in IL I seen a total of 8 bucks, 6 I had shots at 2 were close enough but never gave me a good shot. One of the two was a monster 11 point, there were 2 others i probably should have taken but they will surely be trophies next year or good eating toward the end of this season:D This past weekend was a washout due to the high winds. This coming weekend looks very promising, the bucks are really starting to move around here and i have always seen shooters at this time, hopefully the wind is in my favor. Good luck to everyone else.

[c_lou]

Hey team,

I have added 5 points to our score. The pictures are in the entry thread and the story goes like this.

I went out Wednesday Oct. 28th and got settled in around 3:45. There I sat until 6:00 when I heard a deer coming down the ridge to the south of my stand. I picked her up about half way down and was pretty certain she would come past my stand based on how she was moving. She got down to the ditch and into some thick brush, that's when I lost sight of her, but I could still hear her down there. That's when I noticed a second deer coming in behind her. I picked up the second deer coming down the side hill to my south as well. About this time I picked up the first doe again and she was on a path to walk behind my stand. I couldn't get into position for the shot because low and behold the second deer made it to me and was standing directly in front of me at 15 yards. Seeing that the second deer was a doe, I turned my attention to her. She made her way past my stand on a trail that is 10 yards to the south of me. She stopped perfectly in a shooting lane, and that's when I let the WASP Jackhammer tipped Goldtip eat. She ran 50 yards back up the hill to my south, stopped and did a death tumble back down the hill. About 10 minutes later she let out her death bawl and I knew she was down for good. All of this happened within 5 minutes. After my FIL and I found her, I noticed the shot placement wasn't the best. It was high and a little far back. I am pretty confident that I did some damage to the main artery that runs along the back of a deer.

I am thankful to the man upstairs for providing me the oppurtunity to take one of his most magnificent animals. I would also like to thank my wife who is the most understaning person I know. She may give me some grief about hunting but she never stands in my way when I want to get out there.

NOW ON TO THE BIG BOYS!!!!:D

[Ambuscher]

Congrats lou.

One more doe and we could be in the lead.
LOL

[outdoorgirl]

Congrats lou :D

[WIwhitetailhunter]

Congrats to all who scored. I am off next week again and hope I see more than last week. I sat for 4 days and didn't see a thing! Guys at work said that the bucks have started chasing the does here and there. Hope it works to my advantage!!

[Ambuscher]

They're chasing really hard here. I think I'll go out tomorrow and see if I can't put an arrow in one.

[Ambuscher]

Bow buck.
Wish it was bigger so I could improve on the team score.
http://www.realtree.com/img/2/1030082.jpg

[c_lou]

That's a nice buck Ambuscher. Congrats.

[Ambuscher]

Now, if I can just get a doe with modern gun, I'll be get the triple trophy award from the state.

[13littleones]

Upgraded today..... no pics yet..... small 8 pointer half hour after first light.... Today was my last day to hunt here in Indiana for a few weeks so I decided to take him.. I don't know what it is, but the deer just keep walking in front of me this year.. I do all my hunting on public land and have taken 3 so far this year.....crazy lol...

[13littleones]

Upgrade :-)

[c_lou]

Nice Buck 13. Congrats.

Congrats 13 nice buck :D I'll be in the woods Sat & Sun :)

[13littleones]

Hi team,, I won't be online for a couple of weeks as I head to Missouri through the 18th of this mounth. I will be if I am very very lucky to upgrade again, there is a giant 10 pointer as of last year anyways I have been looking for the past few years. On vacation starting Fri. and I cant wait ! Good luck you all!!

[Ambuscher]

Where bouts you goin in MO??

[outdoorgirl]

Good Luck 13 have a great time I hope you connect on the big one :D

[buckee]

Nice buck Frank. :cool:

[Ambuscher]

I finished off an Arkansas Triple Trophy Award this morning with a young doe.

[RackBlaster]

Hey team, congrats Ambuscher on your triple and everyone else who has scored. I hunted here in IL last weekend and had a shot at a nice 8 pt., but right now he is not what i want, also had shots at 2 does but due to the warm weather neglected to shoot. This weekend i seen a monster 10 pt. this morn. but was out of range and on a hot doe, seen a couple small bucks chasin does in late morn. , other than that the day was shot from strong west winds which work totally against me. I will be headed out in the morning and will hunt all day, the bucks are really chasing hard and it should be a good morning cold and light winds:)
Hopefully i can connect on a big boy to get some points, but i am confident I will at least get a doe before the season is over.

[c_lou]

It's been windy and rainy up this way. I did get out this weekend and seen 1 deer. A small buck that wanted nothing to do with my advances.

[buckee]

Way to go 13littleones.
http://www.realtree.com/img/2/medium/PB020534.JPG

I got myself a nice 3x2 blacktail this morning for the team too :D:D
Pictures in a bit ;)

[Ambuscher]

Congrats, Buckee.

[outdoorgirl]

Congrats Buckee :D ummmm yesterday I let that same buck I posted a pic of in our team thread walk by me :rolleyes: nice 4 pointer....neighbor said their is a big one roaming around and I am holding out...it's hard but I want a crack at a bigger one....pleanty of time left to hunt here.

[c_lou]

Congrats Buckee. I am going out the next 2 days. I am still waiting to see this "Rutting" action that y'all are talking about.:rolleyes:

[outdoorgirl]

Hi guys....seen a button buck tonight....I want to see bigger antlers but it's going the other way....lol :rolleyes:

[buckee]

I tried taking some field photos, but I didn't know I screwed them up until I got home.
When I got home, I got Ken to take a few more. Please excuse the long-johns...EH ...LOL:D

[RackBlaster]

Great looking buck Buckee :D congrats! I hunted on Monday and seen 2 small bucks in the morning and nothing else the rest of the day. Those west winds are killing me. Had south winds this whole week while I'm working and what is the weekend calling for , what else west winds.:mad: Hopefully this weekend pays off , never see much action after gun season which is the following weekend here in IL. Good luck to everyone else.

[outdoorgirl]

Hi guys.....snowy hunt this afternoon....passed on a small spike still waiting on a bigger one ;)

[c_lou]

1 day and a wake up for us Wisconsin-ites. Our gun season starts tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing all the friends and family that we only see during the gun season.

Good Luck to all and hunt safe.

[Ambuscher]

Good luck on a biggun outdoorgirl and,good luck on your gun season c-lou.

[13littleones]

Back from my vacation in Missouri and I had a great time. I shot a 7 ptr. the last day I was there and gave the meat to my brother.The big 10prt. I have been hunting the past few years was found dead, I shot it last year and couldn't find him...I didn't realize it was him, super fast hunt and never took a real good look at his rack... makes me sick! I will post a story on the bowhunting forum sometime..

Nice deer there Buckee,, congrats !

[Ambuscher]

Congrats on the 7, 13. Can't wait to see the pics and read the story.

[RackBlaster]

Hey team , took this doe up in WI this past weekend . Hunted here in IL Friday and Saturday and seen some does and a couple small bucks. I seen 2 small bucks up in WI , but maybe this weekend i will get back up there to fill my buck tag on a bigger buck. 5 more points :)

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/natorock/IMG_2297.jpg

[Ambuscher]

WTG Rackbuster, I think that unofficially makes us in 1st place by one pt.
LOL

[RackBlaster]

Oh well team, we dropped down to fourth place :( not by much though. I still have about 1 month and half of hunting, so hopefully i can upgrade with a decent buck. I will be hunting here in IL Monday morn. The weekend warrior thing really sux, seems the best days to hunt are when i am always at work. They are calling for high winds on Monday:mad:
Good luck to everyone!

[WIwhitetailhunter]

Well guys, my rifle season came to an end the day before Thanksgiving by my choice. I sat out Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning and saw zero deer. Add that to the number I've seen early bowhunting and that number remains zero! Kind of hard to shoot a deer when you don't see any. Seems to be the trend for a lot of hunters in my area. Not sure if it was winter kill from last year, wolves, or coyotes.:confused: Whatever it is, the deer are not around.:mad:

I'm not sure if I'll get out next weekend for a couple days with the muzzle loader or not. Then the weekend after is an antlerless rifle hunt by me. Then late season bowhunting. I'm not too motivated for any of the remaining seasons given what my season has been so far. Sorry.

Congrats to all of you who have scored for the team!! Just sorry I haven't had a chance to contribute.:(

[buckee]

WTG DoeBlaster :D

I'm still trying to fill my last tag before the season ends.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I saw a few deer but nothing I decided was right for me to shoot. I have been hearing lots of complaints from hunters. I sure hope the WDNR does some serious re-thinking this winter.

[RackBlaster]

WTG DoeBlaster :D
Ya, hopefully i can live up to my name before the season is over:o



I agree with you guys up in Wisconsin about not seeing deer this year, its been the same here in IL ,but in my case i know they are there.I hunt in Adams county WI, and I have 16 different bucks on my trail cameras, and at least 10 different does in the past couple months. Where they are in the day time i don't know. There was only 1 small 4 pt. and 3 does taken in my area that i know of gun season ,including my doe. I wasn't up there alot but the time i was i seen very little movement. I don't have problems w/yotes or wolves that i have seen, although the yotes are around. The past 2 years here in IL and up in WI have been really strange with hardly any rutting activity compared with past years. Who really knows :confused:, it won't keep me out of the stand though. I will be heading out in the morn. for the last day shotgun season here in IL, there has been a big 15 pt. hanging around the past week w/ a couple of does in the food plot, hopefully i can connect, then Monday i will be out with the bow. Good luck to everyone else.

[buckee]

I don't know how I managed to do it, but my record for filling my tags is untarnished...LOL

My tags are filled, and although I still feel really disappointed about losing a big buck, I got to ride the horse again. Sorry I couldn't get a few more points for the team.

[RackBlaster]

Hey team, still hunting here in IL. I have been seeing a ton of deer but just out of reach every time. I moved my stand in a spot that i have been seeing a lot of deer traveling thru so tomorrow morning i will give it a try. I seen a monster 8 point followed by 2 smaller bucks and 5 does on Monday morning and 3 does and a 4 pt. Sun. morn. all traveling this same route. Only have 2 more weeks left so i am trying to get in as much hunting as i can. Congrats Buckee on your season !

[Ambuscher]

Congrats Buckee.
And good luck to you Rackblaster.

Oh well, seen 6 does just out of range and was winded by a spike and later on 2 more does coming down right towards me. There was NW winds this morn. which i didn't expect. I moved my stand once again on the other side of this travel route they are taking . They are calling for NW winds again for Sunday and Monday so it should be perfect.
