I think we should call our team "Monster WeinersWhinersNWinners" http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Rhinodog]

How 'bout "Buckee's Warriors". You have some clout here, so that's good enough for me. We need the rest of Team 11 to sound off. Let's hear it.

[superguide]

Advice from team 16 how about you call yourself the 'Snort Wheezers' thats sound buckee makes climbing into a tree stand lol.

[Rhinodog]

The snort-wheeze call is pretty hot right now, so it fits Team 11 pretty good. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Isn't an acorn a nut ....Nut ...LOL http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I almost connected with a doe tonight guys, but she just would step out from behind the shrubbery. She was feeding on something there for a half hour, so I just snuck out at dark.

[buckee]

Instead of "acorn assassins " how about "Mixed Nuts" ...LOL ..I think that covers us all. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif (since we don't have acorns here)

[buckee]

I've been wanting to get out bow hunting but the rain just keeps on coming. I don't like the thought of tracking deer in the rain, after the shot.

And it's too early to think about picking up the shotgun http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

How about "Rack Attack"?

That is the team name that I am on at another board.

We are on the board guys, with 5 points for a doe http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sept 25/04 .... BINGO ***
Wilf and I went down to Don's farm tonight. It was a beautiful evening.
I had high expectations for tonight, since we saw deer in the field on the way down, on the nieghboring farm.
I bumped a spike just after getting into my little hole in the brush, who was bedded down only about 40 yards away. I was clearing a few more shooting holes when he decided he didn't like the noice of my snippers...LOL
I had 6 deer coming across on my blind side, out in the middle of the field. There were 2 nice does, 1 small 11/2 yr old doe and 3 fawns. The biggest doe, also had the biggest fawn, so I decided if she came close, she was the one.
I thought at first they were going to go way around me and out the back door, but at the last minute the big doe I had tageted already, decided to come my way.
She came in on my bad side at about 15 yrds, then moved around past me at 10 yrds. I pulled up on her, waited till she entered a small shooting lane I had cleared tonight, pulled back, gave her a Maaaa, but she kept walking in behind some grass before stopping. I figured the grass, at 10 yrds wounded effect too much, so I pulled off the shot. ......missed.
She stood there, and looked in the direction of where the arrow hit the grass on the other side of her. I quickly c-ocked another arrow. she started walking again out into the clear in front of me, slightly quartering away. I pulled, rested the pin just behind her front shoulder and "THWACK".
It all felt so good....she ran about 60 yrds, straight down the field, then slowed and stopped. She stood there for about 5 to 7 minutes, then started wavering and dropped.
While I was watching her, I had a moment of sadness come over me, because her fawn was present with her and watched her drop. The fawn was plenty big enough to be OK on it's own, but it still made me sad and thankful at the same time.
While they both stood there, I went to my knees and thanked the Lord for this precious gift and also prayed for the fawn to grow up healthy.

[Nut]

Well Sunday morning it was only Fred Jr and I going out so I decided that I would just hang with him. We go to the 1st choice to hunt and as we walked to where we wanted to set up we jump up 2 deer. Bucks they was, a 8(4x4) point and a 6(3x3) point. So we still stayed a bit and then left. Going to another area I spy the big boy that my friend Ron wanted. It was huge deer for sure.

The other areas I thought about wasnt good for this time of morning so I remembered a spot above camp on the road in that was heavy inb sign and I had seen deer there before season crossing around 9am. So we get there and and set up. Well only 10 minutes later there is a deer. It is a spike buck. (1x1)It comes within range on us and I can not really see since I am behind my son.(I left my bow in car just to be there with him) Finally he shoots and I see the deer going away hunched over with tail down.

So I wait a few mintutes and see if I can find the bolt.(Son was using a crossbow that morning)
I cant find it so after a few minutes longer I go searching for blood. I finally find it about 40 yards away. I then hear something jump and rush away. OOPS.

So we back out and go back to camp for a hour longer. We go back with TE and start again. The blood trail is spotty at best and is dark blood. We follow a meandering trail for about 70 yards longer when I find the bolt. It is covered in and around the fletching is stuff I do not like.(I believed it was gut shot at that time and we should have backed off again at that time) We go another 40 yards and we watch the deer jump up again and it takes off. OOPS again

We back off and go back to camp and arrange to have some help. We go back 2 hours later and we search and search for blood from where we jumped it up last time. This is in heavy brush and small trees with plenty of dang thistles and thorns. We finally get more blood and start again. TE does a excellant job finding more blood and follows our friend Mel's advice on tracking deer. Finally about another distance TE yells he found the deer. It is dead at last. I hug my oldest and he is a happy camper finally getting his 1st whitetail.

We decide to drag it uphill to a clearing about 80 yards away to field dress it. We get it up there and after I ran back to camp to get needed stuff we get it to the chekc in station.

I really didnt get a good pic for his first deer because I left the camera in car while searching. Then when we got back TE had already field dressed it himself and put it in game bag.

So this pic is right before we butchered it up. I should say TE did that.

Well I tried. I shot a doe yesterday morning and tracked her a bit too soon. I pushed her onto a adjoing private land where we did not have permission to get access. My friend said that we should not go there to keep the peace. I did what he asked and lost the doe.

I am still sick about it.

[buckee]

Man..I know how you must feel.
If it was me, I'd leave my weapon on the other side of the fence and go get her, but that's me.
Won't the game warden escort you in?? (as a last resort)

[Nut]

I was in another state. My friend didnt know how to contact the other owner. Plus we were in a dead cell phone area. Plus try to get a warden on the rifle opener just to escort you if he even would.

Thanks buckee! I am still smiling about it and it happened a couple weeks ago! I think this is a buzz that will never wear off. I told everyone they are getting autographed 8X10 pictures of me and the deer for Christmas! LOL Can't wait to get the mount back, I have already cleared out the spot for him. And best of all it is 4 pounds bigger than anything my ex husband has gotten (he bought the house across the street from me so he had to come over and check it out...hehehe)

Congratulations on your own deer too!

Congrats Buckee.

Sorry guys but my hunting time has been cut back from what was planned. Plus I am not able to travel to the spots I also planned to hunt.

I wnet out 1 1/2 hr Thanksgiving. Then I promptly got sick which ended all hunting last weekend.

I worked all week once gun season started and only had the weekend to hunt. I wnet out 1 1/2 hrs yesterday only to leave to watch my boys at a wrestling tournement. As I left I watched a doe go right by the spot I was at. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Then today I had the wife out and we get a call between areas that her Mom went to ER.... So I am home now. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

As I look at the calender I see I might only have 1 or 2 days til the end of the contest.... not much chance on me getting anything with me staying around home.

So my apologies for letting you down.
