Germ,

Where did you shoot her? Lung with no pass through?

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Well LB it was kind off bizarre, all I can tell you is I spent my lunch hour sharping my Montecs.

Iaimed her above the 10ring on a 3d target at 11:00 if the deer is facing left. I mouth bleated at her(I never do, and will never do again), I caught the the shoulder blade and a BH blades snapped in half as it hitit, This sent the arrow staight down, look at her bottom that is the exit hole. My arrow snapped in half also.

It was weird[&:] She did go down like a quick. Do you guys want to see the BH?

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Sure, let's see the bh - thought Montecs were near indestructible. BTW, thought you were shooting Strikers.

So you hit just a little high and in with a glancing shot off the scapula? That's typically where I aim for
rifle and it drops em in their tracks.

After all this practice and prep and reading about you guys, I'm getting real antsy for some action.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

It was the Striker that broke, why I am sharping Montecs;)

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I had a striker break too, on my target! .. bout like the wac ems I was shooting last year.. someday I will learn..

Get a buck guys..I cant hunt till OCT 10...all closed down here.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Nice doe Gary... congrats...

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Troy, Why do they close your season? Is it gun season now or what?

I am gonna try and get out after work tomorrow. It is supposed to storm here tonight and cool off tomorrow. I would have liked to have been out tonight but didn't have the time.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Ok here it is, I do not want any bashing. I called G5 today I am send them the head.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Gary,

Not gonna bash the head I'm using. [&:] Not changing now! The blades are 0.03", which is
supposed to be pretty thick. Let us know what G5 says. Sounds like at least they have
good customer service and marketing department.

John,

I couldn't see your trail cam pics earlier, that's a nice one - is that last pic his antler?

Troy,

Why end on 10/10?

Updated game plan for Sat. morning, going to be some squirrel hunters (opening day) coming
from the perimeter of woods on back and side. They won't start till sunup when I'm already
in the tree. I'm going to set up on a trail crossing a ditch way in the back (hopefully an
escape route). (This is about 200 yards from a prime spot I'm saving and talked about in
that earlier post). I don't like the squirrel hunting, but I think I can use it to my advantage.
I think this actually gives me a higher than normal chance of a nice buck sighting. Biggest buck
ever seen on my property was kicked up by a stray dog.
Sat. afternoon will hunt away from squirrel hunting across a canal from a known bedding area.
Sun. shouldn't be any squirrel hunting, so that won't be a factor. Sound like a plan?
Trying to make lemonade here guys - was bummed to hear about squirrel hunting. Would rather
hunt a non-pressured, unwary deer.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

After talking to John on the phone I have decided to save my second doe tag for the late season. Now until Nov 15th I am buck hunting only;)

Good point John

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Just checking in to see if anyone put the smackdown on anything and I see that Grem has got one down. Congrats on dinner Germ!!!!

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Nope not me. I did have 2 does, button buck and a small 6 pointer this morning walk by the stand. The rain was nasty this morning...

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Hey guys/gal, good luck this week, Will thanks for the update and John and Gary, you guys seem like your right on them!


I talked to a biologist about this a few years back. They shut down our season, for 9 days to let the elk finish up the majority of their breeding unpressured.

Anyweapons season opens for two full months now. Elk, deer, bear, turkey you name it.. CHAOS.. in many areas, and a ton of pressure in the mountainsas gun hunting elk is very big out here.

I can choose any weapon I want to hunt with now until Dec 1

last season I hunted the entire gun season for whitetails with my bow. This season I will most of the time but will take my sons now on a few rifle sits and I am really looking forward to that. Elk I really need to fill the freezer, I will shoot any elk I can with rifle or bow once my seasons open back up for elk. As a matter of fact I may go drop the money for a non res/B-tag to give me more hunting time on elk. We have NO meat in the freezer cept for a bear..

So, I have two whitetail tags for Idaho to fill and 1 elk, possibly one more and my wife is getting elk and deer tags this year too. She wants to do some rifle hunting right around the home. I am stoked about that.

I got out yesterday and checked up on some areas I really need to get to whitetail hunting. I liked what I saw in there for sign.

Come Oct 10th I will have 4 forsure different elk/whitetail areas to hunt all of which are miles apart. I am trying to lesson the pressure I am putting on the two I am hitting now.

Dec 10th-23 are is late season archery again and then I go to ND over Xmas break.

good luck guys..

I am really enjoying your updates and posts in the forums fellas.. some very good reading and strategy talk in there..

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Arrow, good luck, whats your plans for this season. You holding out while its early for a certain caliber of buck?

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Troy I talk to G5 today, they are giving me some Montecs. We had a nice talk. I told them I think the way the BH is put together is the issue. I sent them the pictures and allthe heads back(6).

? Did you have some of the blades that felt loose when together?

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Germ,

My blades are snug and it looks/feels solid.

If there is some kind of defect let me know. But it's too late to change now and that's the last thing
I will be thinking about on release b/c I plan on hitting vitals. [8D]

BTW, don't think I missed your unnecessary crack on my noble profession. Get back to routing servers.:D

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Just like a lawyer your facts are wrong so you make them up[:-]
I am a developer, serving rounting is for guys with no lives:eek:

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Yes Germ, but the trick is convincing others your facts are the "truth."

Sorry, get back to your html code. [8D]

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Gary good work with g-5 ... I need to be more assertive when it comes to products that dont preform. I usually just eat the cost and move onto something else..

I had to really bear down on a couple with the broadhead wrench to tighten them. I used at least two washers on each. One washer wouldn't hold into my ACC's. I noticed mine target broadhead came loose after about 5 shots. I'd retighten.. I am tempted to go back to my old 2 blade coc design. Those always flew great..

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

C#, XML, TSQL
:eek:

Don't get me started:D If I ever need a lawyer, shoot me now[8D]

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Well there is this thing called "death" that some people plan for. [&:] My clients (generally construction and
oil and gas) seem to be happy with my results, but they sometimes have your attitude and things get so
wadded up it is a lot harder to make things right. A little preventative work can sometimes go a long way.

I took a class on Turbo Pascal way back in the day and decided that I couldn't do that computer crap. :D

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I amto damn tough to die, LOL

Ok I like estate lawyers, can you talk to Oil and gas guys to lower the price of gas:D If so you have my respect;)

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Yes, and while I'm at it I will talk to the Fed about lowering interest rates, and to the Pope about contraceptives. :D

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Damn your good, I may hire you. Could you talk to the AD at MI and have him Fire Llyod Carr[8D] Do this and I will never utter a bad word about lawyers again:eek:

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Why the hell would I waste my IOU's on that? You guys would probably hire Les Miles - can't be having that.
He's finally grown on us down here. :D

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

BTW

He will be coaching MI next year:D I am in the know;)

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Well, he's Mr. Michigan and probably had dreams of coaching there as a boy, so that isn't that surprising.
But when he wins that NC this year, it will be tough to walk away from his treatment as a god down
here (although Little Nicky did it). :D

Miles wasn't that impressive at first, but he's likable, competent, knows how to delegate, hires good people
(I hope he leaves our OC and DC), and is a good recruiter.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Well I snuck out behind the house for a while tonight. The only thing I saw was a coyote. He was cruising thru looking for supper. He sure stirred the squirels up. I knew something was coming they went berzerk when they saw him.

He passed by at 25 yards but I couldn't get him to stop, and it is really thick in this area. No shot.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Glad you got out John

I am go after Massey 8 on Sunday morning hunt. If the wind is out of the south I will be in the bedding area again. This time with lunch:D

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Well I had to revamp my setup after the doe ordeal.

Shooting my Terminator Hunter Selects with feathers

450+ Grain arrow, I have 125 Montecs are back in business. I sent all 6 strikers back today. Will let you know what happens.
If by chance a doe comes by, I have a 3 blade rage in the quiver;)

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Not much hunting done here guys. It's been back up to 90 during the day and upper 60s overnight. Supposed to start to cool of next Tuesday. In the mean time I've been scouting some new locations and bought some rubber boots due to my real life hunting lesson taught to me by the doe that spooked when she got to my scent trail.[:@]

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

X-Scents socks also they work great!!

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I think they are 1/2 price right now at BPS ! Was thinking about getting some.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Hey huntm up, what have you been up to lately? I know you've been traveling lately. But if you check in, let us know what you've been doing or seeing. Maybe pm a phone# so we can check in with you once in a while if you are away from the puter. Maybe you can be the one to put us on the board.

I sure hope somebody breaks the ice pretty soon. We need to get some bone on the ground. I am thinking huntinlady might be the first to down a buck on this team. She has been a pretty good guide for the youngsters she has taken out.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I will be back in the tree Saturday evening and all day Sunday.

Who is hunting this weekend, Troy we know you are not. Guys who have not checked in please do. I want to hear from you!!

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

You talkin to me. :D
Will be in stand all weekend. May even miss part of the LSU-Florida game (especially if we kill). [&:]

I'm a little bummed about the heat - 3 or 4 days ago the forecast was a low of 55 Sun. night and
high of 81 on Sunday, now it is low of 69 and high of 91. But like I was telling John, the more
I think about it the more I'm liking the squirrel hunters, especially since they won't move in this heat.
The stand I am hunting on has never been hunted and is a ditch crossing that I think is a great
escape route.

You guys get a look at that 215" Louisiana monster? http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.a...44&mpage=1
I'll be hunting his twin brother this weekend. ;)

We put up about 5 new (unhunted) stands in good locations and have a couple new climber locations.
If deer movement is slow and it is hot as hell, would you guys hold off on hunting some of those
stand locations? I'll be going back in 2 weeks and it should be cooler/more deer activity then.

I've got a cypress slough I haven't hunted either - unsure on trying that as well.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I was out this morning and only had 2 fawns come by. I will be back out tonight and the entire weekend. So far Ive seen 9 deer since Oct 1st. I only had one shot on a small 6 pointer. I passed on that shot.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Probly wont hunt Saturday, I got a wedding to go to at 11:00 and then reception. That is if we end up going. Depends on how my wife is feeling.

But Sunday I hope to make it over to IL. May hunt the morning and check my camera and come home. Suposed to be 90* again. Might depend on what I see. I may stay the whole day.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Hey man, sorry about the last response just been hunting. Im hunting in Vanderburgh and Posey county. There are some big o boys in pike county!! good luck!

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I'll be out Saturday.....morning and "maybe" evening (if it's not too hot).

We'll see...
