RE: Team 12 checkin
Just got this off the camera today. It's located about 40 yards from my stand.
 |
RE: Team 12 checkin
Hey guys, your alternate checking in, sorry it wasnt sooner, I have been hunting all weekend!
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
My season started Satureday, Its been looking good so far and I get to go out all day tommorow. Im really looking forward to tommorow it should be a very good day. Up here around Duluth there are some pretty beig chuncks of public land, and im hunting about 2 or so miles back into one of those so I have some good hopes. Plus I am hunting the deer season back home in WI!!!
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
Hey manuman, I guess we are destined to be on the same "team". How are youdoing? Seeing in deer down ther in GA.?
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
Uhhh... We need a team captain who wants to be it?
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
Im here guys
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
I just saw that and thought the same thing! Doing good. Hunting has bee slow. 2 factors--poachers on my bow tract, and too busy to go often. I am headed to my club this weekend with my 14 year old son, and the rut is starting to kick in, so maybe I can make up for lost time and oppurtunity. You need to find one of those big daddy's like the Mennonite fellow did! It would win by itself! Good to know we're on the same side;)
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
ok guys we need a capitan i will go ahead and nminate some aned we can go from there how about that
manuman gets my vote right now but we will se later on |
RE: Team 12 checkin
I've heard he's a pretty shifty fellow, so I'm not sure---good looking guy though!:D:D
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
manuman works for me
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
Yeah I can third that vote. Well I got two days until I am out in the woods. I got some added incentive to get some meat this year. Some Amish friends of mine had a ccident and the father's two oldest wer aslmost killed in a car accident. So All my meat I get this year will be donated to them.
So wish me luck I am going to be outh there two weeks solid stating on Saturday. So if you don't hear from me that is why. Take care and hunt safe! |
RE: Team 12 checkin
manuman works for me
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
ok so manuman is our capitan i would be but i am captain of team nockdown in the bowhuntin contest and i think that shifty guy will be alright he cant get us from the computer lol
|
RE: Team 12 checkin
Well alrighty then...I would like to thank all of you who fought so hard for me during this difficult campaign---now get your butts in the woods and lets win this thing!!!!;)
I seriously don't mind, if all are in agreement.. I am heading out for 3 days, the Lord willing , this friday through sunday, and our rut is kicking in gear, so I hope I have a good contribution soon! Good luckeveryone,and Serious---god job.Let me know ifourAmish bros need anything--maybe a small check--seriously. |

RE: Team 12 checkin
BIG BUCK DOWN............ Well as I guess I am canceling my vacation and save my time off for when I may need it. I did the unimagineable. After the past two months I finally had something go my way. OK here you go a 12pt, 212 lb BRUTE!!! I took it at 1150 AM today. Story attached.
Here is how the day unfolded. Alarm went off at 0500. Oh please just another 30 minutes I thought. Well I rolled off my best friends couch. Got dressed then immediately noticed Something out of the ordinary. A head ache yikes. I can't let this deter me. So hope in the old truck and head to the closest gas station/convient store. One sausage / egg biscuit , rolaids (just in case) diet Mt. Dew and two packs of advil. Now it is a sprint to "the hill". I arrive at about 0600. I got and hour and half until sun up. I drive through the pasture up the hill to about 50 yards to the wood line. I park and start assembling the needs for the day. Safety harness first. ( Told you MBM) Then coat on gloves , hat, grap fanny pack and make the 500 yard hike up to the top. My stand is attached to a tree sitting about 20 yards off the fenceline. I slide up about 16 ft. turn off the light and wait to see what the day would hold for me. 0650 leagal shooting light nothing. At 0915 pull out the cell phone and start playing poker. Check the weather and temp on the web. It is 41degrees. I text the wife and best friend to let them know my exact location in case something should happen. 1000 nothing 1059 Got movement a doe running about 150 yards on the other side of the fence. I could not see as to what was chasing or why she was running. Immediate instinct grunt tube and let out two short grunts. Deer diappears and nothing. 1130getting hungry and tired of watching enough squirrels to feed China, North Korea, and South Korea. I am almost getting ready to bail. Pull out binoculars and give a scan. "Man my eyes are playing tricks on me". Could that be. Nah. No movement then an ear flickers. Slowyly the binocuolars go down and the .300 win mag comes up. Where did it go? There it is. A deers face and neck. All I can see. It was in some thorn bushes and brush standing next to the fence staring at me. Is it a Buck or Doe? Can see antlers or body. Decision time. It is getting ready to hop the fence and I won't be able to shoot. ( I am a lot of things but poacher is not one of them.) Do I? Don't I ? It seemed like an eternity. Got a frontal neck shot or the head. I have NEVER EVER taken a neck or head shot. Too risky. It is going to leave I gotta do something. I picked my posion. The head through the left eye. I figured if it didn't drop I would miss totally. Take deep breath exhale half way BANG! Hit its mark. It falls. I immediately jack another shell. All I could see was its back and hind legs. I see its leg move.Bang through the spine. No movement. I start to shake and hyperventilate. Calm down Steve or you are going to get to break in your new safety harness. I tell myself. I unload the gun and lower it down the tree. I make my way down. I reload just in case. I walk the the 100 yards down the fencline and look into the bushes and briars........I fell to my knees in astonishment. Oh my gosh. What have I done? It is a MONSTER! There before me was the largest buck I have taken in the 11 years I have been hunting. I start to count. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, one broken off 11, and behind the left main beam a kicker about 2.5 inches long makes 12! 16 inch inside spread 17.5 outside, 10 inch G2's. Good mass! He is big I mean big. I am a 280lb man but this animal is a monster. I am afraid to put in on the ATV because it may raise it up. Go get the Massey Furgeson 135 and boom. I get him down ot the barn and get out the scales.........216lbs! WOW. I then field dress it and donate the meat to a very needy family. The father was in a motorcycle accident and had to have his leg removed. No disability, no income he had obtained permission to hunt from his vehicle. They needed food in a bad kind of way. Besides that thing was soo old it was probably like shoe leather. So I tkae my cape to the taxidermist where that cost me 478 dollars. Fed a needy family for quite some time. My heart feels good this evening. I will get some photos up tomorrow. I must say I am very proud considering the year I have had. In hindsight I am not proud of the shot I took. I feel very capable with my gun. With the BOSS on my Browning I shoot under 1inch groups. I do not know if I would in the future take the shot. I defintely would not if I had another ethical shot. Lungs, Heart, Shoulder, maybe neck or spine.   |
