Saw a really good 8pt tonight on some new land. I'll be back at it again next weekend.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Go gettem coug.

My weekend was a bit disappointing. The wind was wrong for most of my sets and the moon was really bright. Deer moved early in the morning and late in the evening. It was a little on the warm side also. I am setting a stand tonight and I will get one last hunt in tomorrow. I leave for SD on thursday so I will spend wednesday making sure everything is in order.

I am going to try and check in a couple more times before I leave. I am going to try and check in when I am out there also. But if I am unable, don't think I jumped ship. I will have pics when I get back, I hope.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Same here Copper, we just didn't see the number of deer we usually do because it was SOO HOT and clear. The moon was really bright, deer weren't getting out til late. Things will change in a couple weeks. Highs in the 70's this weekend, lows in the 50's

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Our seasn finally opens this Saturday! I have my initial stands up and I'm really looking forward to just vegetating in the woods for awhile! Theres a couple of decent buck in the area and the weather is supposed to cool down by Friday! Lets hope we can get something on the score card.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Good luck LB.

I leave for SD tomorrow. I can't wait. I held off on a really nice buck last night. I had my boys (5-7) with me in a gound blindand it wasreally raining good. The deer look nervous and with the rain I thought I better not chance it. The boys got to see a deer at 18 yards so they were excited.

Well good luck to all.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

My dad and his buddy each got a doe on the lease this past weekend. I missed a nice doe. We saw 21 different deer in 3 hours of hunting! I have had 5 deer walk right under the trees I have sat in this fall. Thats a little too close. It has been hot here lately and I can't wait for a cold front so the deer move better. Best of luck to you Cooper in SD.
good luck guys.

Well team RACK PACK I am here at work just getting everything ready so I feel good about leaving for a week. I am hoping to head out late morning. Everything is packed and I am itching to go. The outfitter claims to have wireless so if that is the case I will keep you guys updated. Did some shooting last night and I was spot on. Can't ask for more.

Well I am off like a prom dress so good luck to you guys and lets hope we can put a couple scores up on the board and a couple smiles on our faces. Good luck guys

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

That's funny right there.


A good front is moving through right now, so tommorow might be a "sick" day from school. I seem to get alot of those 24hr bugs during hunting season :D

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Good luck Copper, Hope you have a good time. Hope some of us are having some luck,, almost everyones season is open nowarent they? Good luck guys.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Mine opens in about 9 hours from now! woohoo. Saw a nice 10-point with double brows and another 10 had split bowtines. very nice deer i'm seeing. hopfully all my hard work will pay off!:D

Good luck guys.

Keep racking the points

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Well, Im supposed to be hunting in wyoming in a couple hours. Too bad the trip was cancelled.:(Our missouri bowhunt sounds promising though. In the past few years, a 16 and 21 pointer and others have been killed on the landowners property. The county also has a 4 point on 1 side antler restriction.

On some city land, there is a huge buck, over 18 wide with long tines. It has been seen alot, and I did some scouting on 80 city owned acres that are open to hunting. I found a nice rub line about 200 yards long. rubs every 10 or 20 yards. Im going to try there tonight and try and get that big guy or the other nice buck he hangs out with.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Hey guys, hows everyones season going,, I guess you all know we're getting showed up now that Matt/PA is on the board,, congrats to him with his buck, but now we've gotta show em a bigger one. Good luck guys.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Well I am back after a 15 hour drive. My first hunt with an outfitter was a bust. I will never do it again. The guides that were to be supplied had never seen a deer even shot with a bow before. It was a joke. Our second day there we were on our own and had a pretty good day. We did two man stocks and I was able to draw a very nice buck. 23yards away only to have the other guy walk up pull back and let an arrow fly. I was mad beyond believe. He is a great guy and he said he got excited. He hit the deer but only a flesh would to the brisket. It was the perfect stock though. Deer never new we were there. I also got to with in 70 yards of what my guide said would have easily been a top 5 in the state. I got busted by a doe that was about 20 yards from me in some buck brush. Needless to say I came back empty handed except for a few sheds I found and I am probably in a bit better shape then when I left.

As I type this the outfitter called. We set the hunt up through him but we actually hunted with another outfitter. He was very sorry and offered us free whitetail or buffalo hunts at his place. I am not feeling so bad right now. Very nice guy.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Hey cooper, too bad about your hunt. The outfitter sounds like a great guy though offering you the hunts for free.
I havent seen a deer here in over a week and ive hunted everyday.Im goinmg to try a few places i never hunted before, maybe that will produce. Lets hope they move pretty soon. Im kind of getting fed up from not seeing deer, but the worst part is the heat and skeeters.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Just checking in. Our season starts in a week and it's been hotter than he!! around here. Hopefully it will cool down by next week.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

went to the cabin tuesday night and had a nice 6 point come within 5 yards of me. hopefully he'll bring his bigger friends over. just seein few here and few there. hopfully it will pick up once this hot weather heads out

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

I drew first blood with the Vectrix tonight....too bad it was a squirrel ;). I'll back at it again Saturday morning.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Hey everyone. I had some luck tonight. To start off it was 80 degrees when I left to go hunting. I somehow forgot to put my climbing treestand in the truck. I hadnt seen any deer in a week, so I wasnt thinking positive. I jumped 3 on the way in, so I figured the night was ruined. I made a little blind next to 2 maples and a cluster of small saplings. At 6:10, i heard noise to my left. I looked and a doe and 2 fawns were coming in. I grabbed my bow and didnt move. A few minutes later, the doe fawn walked past at about 8 yards. I let her have it. The arrow blew through her heart and got a complete passthrough before she could move. I am so glad. This is my first bow deer in 3 years. She is young, but I couldnt be more excited. I used my Mathews ovation with beman arrows and rocket hammerheads. We went back after dark and found her about 50 yards from where I shot her. I used my compound, but certainly could have stuck her with my recurve. This is also my first deer from the ground.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Hey way to go 24/7. Sounded like a fun hunt.

Would like for the temps to drop a bit around here. 80's are just to hot to hunt for me.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

I whacked a doe this morning too. I have a thread in the main forum.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

congrats on the does guys,, keep em coming

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

High in the 50's around here. I am hitting the woods tonight no doubt.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

I wish it would cool down here, its 80 today, but we finally got an inch of rain yesterday, but its not nearly enough. I just got back from looking over a new lease, and it does look good. Saw lots of deer in the heat of midday. Cant wait to get in there and hunt.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Hit the woods last night and it was ok. I saw 2 small buckas and then the wind shifted. I got out early because of it.

I would like to go tonight. It is cold and a bit rainy. The deer should be moving. However I have to go and talk to the school about my first grader. I am in for a long year I can see it already.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

I got out last night with the climber due to the wind. I was seeing deer before I could get my bow up. I was in an area that I don't have a stand but I think I may have to. I saw 16 in 2 hours and 2 were good bucks. I am going to try and get one up on saturday.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread

I might go hunting out of town on some public land we shed hunt. We have found some nice horns, so the deer are there. Good luck to everyone.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

just checking in here. I hit a doe up north on thursday morning. hit the shoulder and the arrow only went in like 2 or 3 inches and fell out. no blood so i searched for an hour, but didnt find her. Not much going on around home but my uncle saw a buck chasing a doe a few days ago. here is a pic i got on a scrape.

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
 

Nice lookin buck there, I think he'd go just fine in this contest,lol Go get him!

RE: 28 Official Team 28 thread
