I will be in the stand all day again:D I have a SE wind tomorrow[8D]

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I saw a tank of a deer tonight, the body was huge, I am not sure what the rack looked like. He was on the other side of some hard maple trees that still have their leaves. I would catch a glimpse of him now and then,and I was impressed with his body. Also saw a 1/2 rack 2.5 year old. They are starting to chase does big time.

My taxi buddy killed 2 bucks in the last 2 days. The first scored 130 1/8 and the second scored 144 5/8. I'll get a pic up later.

I found a dead buck in the woods today. The coyotes pretty much took care of the meat. I cut his head off and may put the rack on another cape. He was a descent 10 point, fairly wide but real short tines. I don't feel like messing with the pics tonight. I'll get them later.

Back at it all day tomorrow!

What a day, not one ****ing buck

Sorry for the profanity, had to be said:D All day again tomorrow

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Well, all hell broke loose in my woods. I saw 11 different bucks this morning and 5 does.7 of those were after 1 doe, she must have really been SPECIAL!!:DI had a 150-160,10 pointat 30-35 yards but it was thru a ton of branches from the cottonwood tree I was sitting in. Those branches are gone now.(A day too late tho) He was supposed to come on the other side of the tree. I had the same spike in front of me at 2 different setups. Once at 10 yards and the other at 22 yards. I have some pics to post, but am too tired. I will catch up and post them soon.I will be back in the same morning stand tomorrow. Taking my 3D target to use as a decoy. That may have helped this morning.

Germ, man, your putting in serious time.

But I guess sitting in a stand is preferable to watching that game you guys played today. :eek:
I know a lot about spending tons of time in a stand and not shooting a big buck so I won't give you any advice. :D

But I have faith in my El Capitan.

John, sounds like you are smothered and covered, but being disciplined - it's just a matter of time.

Troy, that's dedication. Stretch down and pick right up on the next challenge.

Rob, sounds like you are getting into it. You will probably shake less next time. Deep breaths. :D
Earlier this year when I had three coming in, I had to pull my mask down off my mouth cause it was
mkaing me start to hyperventilate.

Thin posting from me, the deer are safe from injury this weekend cause I've been Mr. Handy Man - painting,
caulking, fixing toilets, etc., - I'm trying to get points stored up to get out there next weekend. We'll see.

No sleep for me tonight!!![:@]

I hit a big buck tonight at last light. I don't know any details on the rack, it happened so fast. I just know he is big enough, dark, heavy horns. I had been watching a doe and fawn for a while and they had worked their way past me and out of sight. I was just going to get my stuff ready to climb down, when I hear something coming. I look back and i see a huge body coming thru the woods with a heavy dark rack. I grab my bow and start looking where I can stop him. I stop him at about 20 yards. I am trying to find my pins in my peep. I get everything lined up and touch off the release. I see the arrow hit his body, maybe a little back. He runs off 50 yards and stops. He is looking back and I am getting another arrow. He takes off again and I can hear him running. Then I don't hear anything for a bit. I hear what sounds like a crash, but no thrashing. Then after a few seconds a deer starts blowing up there, about 10-12 times.

Last year I shot a doe with fawns and they followed her into the woods. When she fell they started to blow. I hope that is a good sign.

I went back to my truck for a good light. The arrow is covered with red blood, but it has a strong smell to it also. I found blood at the point of impact and followed it for 20 or so yards just to see what it looks like. Dark red splotches some as big as a quarter and easy to follow with my flashlight. I didn't see any food on my arrow or the ground.I left after that and am going back in the morning to find him.We are thinking a liver hit.

I am using the 2 blade rage, so he has a big hole in him. I know he will not survive the hit, I just have to find him. The guy that lives on the farm has a little dog that has trailed a couple for him before. I hope we don't need him, but that is an option.
