Went out Tuesday afternoon, seen 2 does about 40 yards away. To hot here with NO relief in sight for at least the next 10 days. Calling for temps to be from 80-92 all week with lows in the high 60's. Average high is 64 this time of year. So I guess I will keep my boat out.

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

I left the mosquitos in my stand and stalked within 20 yards on the buck below. Had a great shot, but passed on him. Give him a few more years. :) There's older and nicer bucks in the area plus I also love to hunt later in October and November in the rut.

Went out this morning 68 degrees at 5am, sat until 9am did not see a living thing except for a few birds. I am done hunting until it gets to beat least 65 or lowerfor a high temp. This is crazy.

Just checkin' in teamies........ Season starts one week from today ......

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

I'm also just checking in with you fellows. I will be heading out this afternoon since the weather has cooled 20 degrees. I wentsaturday morning and see a couple of does and a quick glimpse of a nice buck from about 200 yds. There is some light sparing going on now. The season will heat up seriously in about 2 weeks thru nov. Good luck to you guys, I hope one of us gets on the board soon. Chris

I went out Bow Hunting a few days last week....even went down out of my stands and made a little make-shift blind behind a big tree a few yards from the Lake hoping to shoot a Buck that would come in for a drink of water...no such luck and thank God for my ThermaCell to keep those pesky mosquito's away!

I went out this evening (tuesday) because we finally got a break in the hot weather and it rained monday evening,they are calling for cooler tempatures and colder nights so it finally feels like fall Bow Hunting.So far I haven't seen any Deer moving on our Farm but I didcross one deers path late one evening in the thick woods when I was walking back home after legal shooting light along the mowed field edge where I was walking.

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Season starts the day after tomorrow!!!:)

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Sorry guys......I let myself and you guys down in a BIG way, On Columbus day a friend and I went out in the morning, I was hunting a ground blind on the edge of a picked cornfield, at 8am my friend comes to pick me up and tells me that he seen a huge deer work his way from a standing bean field into a thicket. So we set up to see if we could intercept this deer. About 25 min later I seen a doe working the outside edge, then i see antlers, I position myself to where I think they will pass, the doe gets a mere 3 yards from me and stops, stares and then "blows" when she does this the buck slams on the brakes, with his vitals partly behind a tree, I am already at full draw, I place my pin as close to him as possible without fear of hitting the tree, I am on the ground, he is 8 YARDS away, I release, and watch my arrow slam into his shoulder blade, 2 jumps and my arrow falls out, I watch as my potential 150-160" buck runs away, hurt, but not fatally. I inspect my arrow, and only have bloodon my broadhead, my friend and I continue to search this area for 4 hours and never found a single drop of blood. I can't tell you guys the feeling I had and still am having, I literally got sick to my stomach. But I can take a breath knowing that he will live. I just can't believe at 8 yards, I could not get at least half my arrow to penetrate....that's hunting right? Well I will get back on the horse this Sat. I hope you guys have better luck than I did.

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

finally highs in the mid 60s. this weekend i will go out and hopefully not be mosquito bait. have started seeing deer at late dusk so i hope the movement is earlier than the beginning of the season when i had deerless afternoons. we will see how it goes.

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

One doe opening day, as soon as I shot her it poured, LOL Have you seen my pictures?

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Hey guys Im still here just about every day, just havent had much to talk about!! i have been out probably 10 times since my opener on sept 15th. I have had the same few does, fawns , and button bucks come by me about everytime out!!!! I have yet to even see horns yet this year????

I dunno whats up, just is not working out for me??
On the brighter side, it is finally starting to cool down and it wont be long before the bucks start chasing here in a couple weeks!!! I guess I have some bucks in the area to even do the chasing HAHA??

Now I will begin to get in the woods as often as I can and try to keep you guys updated on my doe sightings YIPPY!!! Hey I guess its better then nothing huh??

....Solo I am sorry to hear about the buck, but hey stick with it and you will get a monster down!!

Good Luck guys!!!!

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Western, I edited my posts well before you posted this .... sorry partner!!!

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Gary, I did see your pics from the canoe and your stand ... I didn't see the deer tho ...... did you post any of those?

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Solo......... Don't worry I did that exact same thing last year on a 150/ 160 buck [:@]. I hit his shoulder blade and only had blood on the broadhead. I seen him 2 weeks after I shot. He was getting along fine. I didn't get a shot the rest of the season but seen him a couple of times. I've been out a few times this season and haven't seen him yet but passed on a younger buck. The next 3 to 4 weeks should be good :). It's finally cooler and more enjoyable to hunt. I seen some deer movement deeper in the woods tonight..... couldn't tell if it was a buck in the group or not. I'll try again tomorrow night and this weekend. Good Luck team mates. :)

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

I am also around but with my season starting tomorrow (Southern NY) I just havn't had much to say. Trying to get stuff around the house done before the season starts.

I will have 3 weeks in NY and than I am going to PA for a week Nov 4 - Nov 10, after that Off to Ohio until Nov 15th. than back to NY for 4 more weeks. Well lets hope the time away from home is worth it.

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Hey guys, keep trying and having fun hunting. Good luck this weekend for you guys that are just getting started. I have been seeing some small bucks and quite a few does. Another week and a half and the chaseing should start up. I don't know where the few guys are that never check in Tony. I suppose if they get a buck they will be on and post it. Lets hope so anyway. Solo, go hammer that buck man. You can get it done. Have a good weekend men. Chris

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

I am afraid I will have to select from another one, I doubt he's coming back. I am sure he's locked up in some of the surroundingUniversity of Illinois land that is not huntable. I am headingto southeastern IL this weekend...in about 5 hours I will beon the road. Good luck guys, and thanks for the support through my depressed state.

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Ok ..... tomorrow it starts .... new spot .... moster buck running around ......this could be interesting. Lets get a couple on the board this week ...... I'm praying for you guys to stay afe ..... soak in the creation of the Lord ...

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Well the deer were moving ..... the only shot I could have had was at a nice looking 6 pointer ... 70" maybe ..... saw another buck but he didn't come close enough ... saw many doe .. none came in range .....all in all a very nice first day (I only hunted until noon ... wife fractured her elbow and wrist last weekend)

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Well I've been out hunting in the evenings for the past several days with no luckand I finally get to hunt in the morning on sunday...so hopefuly I will have better luck and see some deer moving then and hopefully a decent Buck! [&:]

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

I've seen a few does and a button buck,but there really staying in the corn were I'm hunting, farmer said it will come off in a few days barring rain doesn't set in. Forecast is rain 6 out of 7 days this week. The bucks are making a lot of scraps, every morning the scraps look fresh without leaves and fresh tracks. I'm really looking forward to Oct. 30th to Nov. 15th. year after year that time of year is best in my area for bucks cruising and chasing does. I'll keep after them until then. ;)

You must be off work that entire time? I haven't been seeing much the past few days, must be that "October Lull" I keep hearing about. Calling for warmer temps all week until the weekend (which I work) go figure. But I am hunting Thursday and Friday even though the temps are going to be around 75 with a chance of rain. Good Luck Guys, we need one on the board.

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Is it just me, or do we only have like half of our team actually taking part in this?

RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
 

Half of us can get the job done. I think the others will check in if they get a buck. I saw some chaseing going on a little this morning. About another week and a half and the big boys will start showing their mugs. Good luck team. Chris
