Hey guys haven't been around in a while been hunting out of state a lot. Well nothing with a bow and I belive I'm done with it for the year. I made out ok though I got a 5 pt. and 2 does with the 30-06 nothing with a shotgun and I shot a button buck this morning with the muzzleloader.

Mike, sounds like your freezer should be FULL-up by now.

I just purchased a muzzle loader and will be trying it out soon.

Here is a pic of a buck I shot recently from my ET lease with my Striker .308 pistol-

I'm heading back out to my West Texas lease for a 4 day trip and some morebowhunting next week. Maybe I'll score then.
And once again, I'm sure more pigs will die:(.
Although I think I came up with one trick to keep them away from one of my areas- we'll see.

Hey guys. I missed a 130 class buck on a drive during gun season. Bow season is open again and I won't be able to do much hunting during the week since I get home from school only an hour before dark. Im going to try and hunt in the backyard maybe during the week. Good luck everyone.

Aw shucks! Sounds like you had a bit of excitement though!

@$%$% School! Get out there and hunt! :D:D:D Hey your username is 24/7 hunter. You should change it to 3/5 hunter ;)[:@][&:][8D] J/K bro! I feel your pain. Wait till you have the thrill of a full time job, a wife and N kids!

As my Mr. T Action figure (NOT A DOLL) used to day when I pulled his string:
"Study hard, stay in school! Eat your vegetables! I pity the fool!"

Only 3 more years until im done. Im not sure what Im going to do after that. Im thinking of getting into some sort of apprenticeship or going to tech school.

I usually hunt everynight during the week until late november because by then Im getting in too late and spooking deer. I Get my drivers license in 2 weeks and next week is the last week before christmas break so I'll be doing some major hunting then. The only bad thing is that its about 45 degrees here today and about 40 all week. It is usually 20 degrees and the only snow we got was in november i think. I have no clue where the deer are since they arent on fields and I cant see tracks. Im going out right now to put my climber on a tree I want to hunt this weekend.

I hunted on some city property open to bowhuinting last night. 2 days before, my uncle shot a nice 7 pointer about 400 yds.away. I didnt see anything, but 3 hours after shooting hours, my family was on our way home from a restaurant and a 10 pointer about 17" wide ran in front of the car. He was probably a 130". We were about 1/4 mile from where I hunted and he came from that way. Im going to hunt that pretty hard for the last few weeks of season. My uncle saw about 10 different bucks in that area this year.

Thickets and swamps, thickets and swamps. This time of year, after the insanity of the rut and the onslaught of gun seasons, deer are going to hold up in briar patches and on the edge of swamps.

Over the last couple weeks that's the only places we've been finding deer around here.

Find yourself a nice briar thicket on the edge of a swamp on that property and you'll find them moving around at noon and dusk.

Hey guys, I havent been in in a while. still hunting and only took a doe during gun season in ohio. I have until feb 4 for bow so dont give up on me yet.

RE: 31-Team Drop Tine Bombers
 

Sorry to disapoint but you can stick a fork in me, I'm done as far as racks go.

I'll be muzzle loader hunting come January (doe only)but besides that- tagged out.


I took this buck off the west Texas lease last week and yes he had the ole ground shrinkage in effect. We bow hunted 3 of the 4 days (2 days past noon on the morning hunts)and I shot him on the last hunt, in hindsight I wish I'd stuck to my bow and changed stands, but I didn't. We weren't seeing crap for deer again and have been discussing finding a better lease, so when he showed up the safety came off.
