Where's everyone from, I'm in N.C. but do most of my hunting in W.V. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[carbonhunter]

ohio, and ohio is where i plan on filling all three of my tags. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

good luch gents, and lets not beat up on these guys too bad

[buckbuster11]

I'll be filling my 3 tags in PA. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[huntinsonovagun]

I'll be hunting in Oklahoma, hopefully filling 6 tags. They may all be does, but that is something to say you filled a tag. I will keep a couple tags open for bucks, but only trophy bucks.

[ruttinbuc]

I am from NJ and can kill six bucks as well as a doe a day in most seasons. I am at the point in my life where a lot of deer are left walking. I hope I can contribute with a respectable buck.

I am also headed back to Kansas this fall and may well spend some time and hunt Mo.

Good luck to all my teammates! Hunt hard shoot straight!

[buckbuster11]

I have officially found the buck I want to shoot. A 130" or so 10 pointer. He is a monster. I've been watching him come out in a field right behind my house. Hopefully he doesnt change his patterns by Oct.2. If he doesnt there is a very good chance I can nail him and collect mucho points for team 12. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[carbonhunter]

Anyone been out scouting lookin around???? I already have my stands set for the year http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif well almost i have three more i have to put in but that property is a bit away from here and just havnt had a chance to do it yet. Im blessed in the fact that overall i have about 500 acres all to hunt. A 300 acre farm about an hour from me(cochocton Co., another little 20 acre honey hole about 2 minute drive from my house(Licking Co.) plus 80 acres in Fairfield county and oh ya Chris(tominator), OhioBucks and i got drawn for a controlled hunt about fifteen mintues from me.

All and all I can just about promise three deer (2 does, 1 buck)
the fairfield property and licking have to be my favorites last year the fairfield gave me a real mature nine pointer and i killed a doe right behind my house( the last ditch effort spot) but my buddies and i cleaned house on all the places, saw tons of good but not yet my type of bucks all over the place.

Okay done blabbin now.....i just wish it was oct 2 already, im starting to lose my mind. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[flyrod64]

I went to W.V. a few weeks ago to look around. Saw 82 deer in two evenings 2 nice bucks with spreads as wide as thier ears, a few smaller bucks and the rest does. Looks go so far! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ruttinbuc]

Well my season started this morning and needless to say it didn't get off to a good start. I have to take a doe before I can get a buck tag. While watching a pair fawns and their mother crossing the road below me I had a couple deer come in from my blindside. Spooked em bigtime as I got careless with my movement. It scares heck out of you when they snort that close! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Long way to go. Anything is possible. We'll see what happens this evening.

[buckbuster11]

Good luck rb.......stick a nice plump one this evening. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I'll be out watching a P&Y 10 point and his bachelor group buddies to see if I can get them patterned by Oct. 2. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[huntinsonovagun]

Well rb....let that be a lesson to you. lol At least you saw some deer.....that ALWAYS makes a hunt worthwile. Hurry and get us on the board!!!!

[ruttinbuc]

http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gifThere is a long story to Saturday evening's hunt. It involves a trespassing four wheeler, state police and assault charges being brought by me. It is amazing how ignorant some people in this world are. This jerk is going to pay. I will fill you in on details after this matter comes to settlement.

Imagine a hay field with two state police cars, the property security guy and his pickup, a couple guys in camo, a friendly helpful neighboring land owner and his explorer and his wife with her van, an intoxicated belligerent assailant and a yellow four wheeler that started it all.

Put into this picture an absolute big mess of deer out in the field taking it all in! As a matter of fact a big doe and a couple of her sisters and fawns came out of the woods not twenty yards from where I was writing up a police statement.

I have some serious neck pain so it may be awhile before I fill that tag. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[huntinsonovagun]

Ahhhh.....man I hate hearing this kinda crap. You shoulda just shot the stupid SOAG (son of a gun) I am sick and tired of people like this!!!

Keep your head up and get us on the board. Draw a little blood and you feel better.

[buckbuster11]

Man, that sucks RB. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

[ruttinbuc]

Put one fat doe down for Team 12. 106 lb. longnose! Was feeling pretty good and decided to get out before the rains come this weekend. It was all I could do to fight the pain in my neck. She was feeding out in an open hayfield. I was on the ground in the heavy cover of a fencerow. 38 yard shot right through the lungs. She didn't go far. Got to get to bed. More later!

Go Team http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ruttinbuc]

Hey guys, I messed up big time. In my haste to get this doe cooled in 80 degree temps I failed to take any pictures. I went to the butcher and he had already skinned it out. I feel like a real turd.

Failed to realize that pictures are needed for verification of the kill! I have everything else that says I have. Guess I 'll have to go kill a booner buck to make up for those 5 points.

Sorry everyone! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[carbonhunter]

my mouths shut, I actually started to get mad, but then i realised that we owe more to the animal than we do to the contest, in the future make shure you know the rules before ya hit the woods.

On another subject, i decided to get up early and do some scouting, i went out and just sat in my stand untill about 8:30 , it was pretty slow up untill then only five does came through right after first light. Started to get bored and was thinkin about getting out early and get ready for te state game, then i heard it, a little rustle, kinda like antlers on brush. I looked down the trail and there coming out of the brush was santa clause, actually two santa clauses.
There stood Two Popers not even a question the buck i shot last year scored 138, these two bucks would have beat him like a red headed step child. The first buck had a spread about 25" and was a perfect 12point, the second deer about gave me a heart attack, a 14 point with matching drop tines
http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif ive hunted this area a long time and i always see big bucks , but these guys where a hole nother ball game. I watched them for about 25 minutes before they vanished into the corn field at the end of the trail.

No more spotting for me this year, not in that area anyway(can we say rut) http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[buckbuster11]

Don't worry RB......just go bust a big one!!

Forgot to mention that I'm going to W.V. tomorrow to do some pre-season scouting. Let you know how it looks when I get back! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ruttinbuc]

Is anyone out there hunting? Have not seen to many posts in here lately. Hope you all are closing in on the deal!

[huntinsonovagun]

I haven't had any luck. I will keep at it though. I am getting frustrated because I haven't even seen a deer on stand!!! So many woods, no telling where they will come throught at. Not sure what to do, other than sit and then when I am tired of stitting, sit some more. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Guess that is why they call it hunting........

[buckbuster11]

The first week was very slow for me. I haven't hunted as much as I usually do either. I'm going to try and pop a doe this week. I'm just patiently waiting for the rut and cooler weather before I go nuts for bucks.

[ruttinbuc]

I am gearing up for Kansas. Three weeks and hopefully I can out do myself. That would be a trick, but who knows, anything is possible. Have hunted PA a few times and could have shot some does. Had a first light buck get past me yesterday. Wasn't a shooter though. Wasn't sure of his rack. That three points to a side can be hard to see in the deep woods early.

Hope all our deer hunting dreams come true. Go TEAM 12

[buckbuster11]

I scored guys!! I got a 9 point this morning, story in the bowhunting room, pics to come later today or tomarrow. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[carbonhunter]

Scored as well, skipper doe but hey its points.

[ruttinbuc]

Way to go you guys! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif That was just the news I was looking to hear. I have been hunting a little in PA and every time out I think of how the Pop n' Popers are doing. Its good to hear we are starting to knock em down!

[carbonhunter]

Im at the point where i have to start watching tags. To bad nusance permit deer dont count, i can only check to more. I drew back on another deer last night, but passed on the shot to wait and see if MR. big was following yet. always count on some deer during gun season.

[flyrod64]

I went to WV to do a little scouiting last week and spied 3 nice bucks, the smallest being a 6pt and 2 10's. Just hope they are still hanging aroung Thanksgiving weel. Last year I scored a 13pt so hopefully I'll help out the team in a few weeks! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Very quiet around here lately, Team 12! My permit season started today. I had to work. I will have to shoot another doe to try and get a another buck. I'll be leaving for Kansas next Saturday. There will be a lot of hunting between now and the second week of December.

Go get em' team!

[huntinsonovagun]

Killed an 8 ptr. this morning!!!! Feel like I should split the points between Roadkill10 & Griz, since they set me up on this deer like no other, but since the guy at the check station put my name on it, I guess we will have to put it on our team's score. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

12 pts!!!

[markyj987]

Great work, huntin'!

Sorry I've been quiet in here. I haven't been able to bowhunt at all because of a problem with my arm, but am ready to go for gun season.

sluggunner, whose land I hunt on, saw a really nice 8 pointer on Saturday. And there's been a ton of deer sign up there. I'm cautiously optimistic about this season!

FLYROD'S BUCK

Not really much of a story, but I was hunting the Elk River WMA Thanksgiving morning and when my hunting buddies started out they ran this 4pt to me. I saw him coming for about a hundred yards but when I finally got a shot he was trotting by at 15 paces! All I could see was hair in the scope LOL. It was the only buck I saw all week.I think the weather helped too because it had been warm all week till then, and when I shot him it was sleeting and about 30degrees.

http://www.realtree.com/img/2/2141Nov26001flyrod-med.jpg

[ruttinbuc]

Way to go Dave! You never know. Just when it seems like there is no hope, one shows up!

Thanks RB, I see we still have four hunters who have yet to score this year. Good luck to ya and I'm gonna try to upgrade http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I still have a few more days of vacation I'm gonna take next week before I have knee surgery the 17th. Hopefully I'll be able to move by new years weekend so I can hunt then.

No worries TS....we're still in the lead. would be awesome of any of us could upgrade or even others that haven't scored got a doe, but if we don't win, we sure gave the others a run for their money!!

[silver]

Just to let you know I haven't forgot about you'all. I've passed several small 8 point deer this year so far. I shot a doe last Sunday. I'll post pics as soon as I figure it out.

Next week I go back to Kansas for a rifle hunt. There are no management restrictions on the place we are hunting so I may be able to bring some antlers home.

Bow season is open until Jan. 15th here in MO. I have some good late season spots so I'm hopeful. Good job team. I finally got to contribute.

Okay Team 12, I assume that the season is about over for everyone. I still have a few days left here. My knee is doing pretty good so I'm gonna give it one more shot this Friday and Saturday. Hopefully the weather will co-operate! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Good luck Dave! I am still after it too. I doubt if i will top my score, but you never know. You can't shoot them from the couch! All we need are a few does from those who have not scored. Seems like a frugal request.

[carbonhunter]

IM DONE i have a doe tag laeft but thats not going to do me any good

[flyrod64]

Anybody heard from silver, he had a doe to post but I haven't heard from him since http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[ruttinbuc]

Congratulations on your 6 pt Dave! Your efforts should be commended!

I am disappointed in some on our team. A few doe would have went a long way. I'd like to congratulate all my fellow team members who signed into this thing and took it serious enough to get out there and take some nice deer. Effort should always be rewarded. Thanks guys.

[buckbuster11]

Yup we made a good run at it. Unfortunately is seems some of our team has disappeared for quite a while. Oh well, thats how these contests work I guess. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[markyj987]

I was quiet, but didn't abandon you all...my season was just terrible. In all honesty, I'm more frustrated that I won't be making venison jerky than not having an entry for the contest.

Congrats to all of you who were successful!

[carbonhunter]

ahh Marky dont worry about it, we came close but no cigar. I had a great season winning a contest or not. Sadly I'm in the same boat as you mark after killing 12 deer and butchering them this year our freezer went out while in Iowa bird hunting we lost 10 deer 22 pheasents 35 quail and about 40 doves
