RE: He got him!
 

Hey team I finally did it! I got my first whitetail with my bow yesterday! I didnt get a buck but I dont care I am just as happy. She came in following a cat believe it or not lol. She stopped and hung around forever before she offered a shot at 10 yards slightly quartering away. The arrow went through her liver and lungs and she only went about 50 yards and fell. I am so happy!:)

RE: He got him!
 

Awesome, Congratulations..I'm happy for you. Great shot and memories for life. Ya did good!

RE: He got him!

I posted in the thread in the bowhunting forum because I saw it first. Once again, a very big congrats!

RE: He got him!
 

Now that's what I'm talking about! And to go only 50 yds tells me someone was doing allot of practicing!

Great job Jenna, that's a fine start! 30 years from now you'll remember that doe and the shot like it was yesterday! It's great to see young folks getting out and enjoying the outdoors, especially girls now days.

Again fine job on your first deer!

RE: He got him!
 

Good job! I'm glad you found her. Now, get out there and get your buck.

RE: He got him!
 

First of all WTG:D. I think by your anatomy pic that you glanced off of a rib and deflected back through the gut.

RE: He got him!
 

I agree, you must have just hit a rib and the arrow deflected into the gut. Aint your fault though. Congrats on your doe again!:)

RE: He got him!
 

Any updates team mates?

RE: He got him!
 

I'm home finally. It took a week but worth every minute. My cousin went out and got started on a nice food plot yesterday on his 13 acres that produces deer every year. He said he saw 3 does running throught the woods. Good sign. I am helping him finish it today. Gonna be great to just get back in the woods.

RE: He got him!
 

whats wrong with the fast reply?

RE: He got him!
 

They did a website update and been messed up since.
Great big welcome back pal!

RE: He got him!
 

Welcome home mike!!! When does your season start?:)

RE: He got him!
 

well i guess i have an update but not a great one.... i took a dumb shot on a doe... jus got anxious i guess... a big one an its fawn(well grown to mae it on her own) came in about 8 am the night before i had to cut a lil tree down so i could climb the only climbable tree. well these to deer came in an surprised me an i couldnt get stood up. well the big one wlk out of sight an the lil one wont leave the tree i cut down eatin the leaves off it... well the big starts back an i get stood up but shes lookin at me every now an again.. she knows somethings up.. she walks behind a tree an i draw.. well she sticks her head an neck out the other side an looks at me.. knows somethings wrong something has changed she does the whole head bobbin deal an stompin the foot. i can still only see her head an neck... so shes 8 yards away.... an i took a neck shot.. i mean drilled er. an she took off... i couldnt believe it. we tracked for 3 hours an jumped her towards the end an she basically quit bleeding.. i got 3 or 4 piles of blood that looked like you butchered a hog butcouldnt get on her... made me sick for 2 reasons DUMB on my part to take the shot. if i got busted then so be it the morning was young.. then the feeling of knowin damn well shes dead now.. i couldnt believe how far she went an was still goin..... ill never take another neck shot... live an learn i guess, buti still hate it!

RE: He got him!
 

Sorry to hear about that pal. Just like my motto says live and learn.

RE: He got him!
 

That really sucks...I figured a neck shot would take a deer down pretty quick, but guess not. Guess it must have just hit muscle or something...who knows. I figured it would have at least hit that main artery.....deer are so weird. A friend of mine shot one in the lungs and it ran forabout1 milewith huge puddles of blood the whole way. Then the trail just stopped...but no deer anywhere. Not even a pin drop of blood. I guess its just something that happens to everyone.

:)Keep your chin up...its fine!!!:)Better luck next time.

RE: He got him!
 

My season starts Oct 13. We got our food plot planted. We used an ATV disk plow and let me tell you, that thing worked great. We planted probably 1/2 acre plot and it didnt take any time what so ever. It is in a perfect place too. 3 more weeks and i'll be in my stand. Breaking the bow out tomorrow. Hope it shoots ok. By the way, sorry to hear about the doe, Dave. Like they said before, you live and you learn. It sucks but it happens

RE: He got him!
 

Hello Team,
Went out yesterday and zilch but still enjoyed every bit of it. Bought that thermacell and holy **** did that device work on the skeeters. If you get one make sure you do fire it up 10 minutes early before you head out.
I did have a racoon scare the Tony out of me fighting with another one and screamed. I will be heading out this evening and will come back tomorrow with a update. I dont hunt mornings during the early season. GL ALL!

RE: He got him!
 

Its been crazy hot here. 94 degrees yesterday and 96 today. I dont think I am going to be hunting much until it gets cooler. I will be out there October 1st though, cant wait to put out some mock scrapes and try to get those big boys to come in.

Bad news is EHD is showing up here and deer have been dropping like flies. I hope the first frost comes quick to kill them stupid biting midges. They had a story about it on the news and it had pictures and video of deer with the sickness and they looked horrible. They were foaming out the mouth and their eyes were bloody. Their faces were all swollen and it just looked horrible.

RE: 38 - Official TEAM 38 Thread (Rack Em Up)
 

I know this is from WAY back, but has anyone got their shirts yet?

RE: 38 - Official TEAM 38 Thread (Rack Em Up)
 

I have not ordered yet and not sure if I will.

RE: He got him!
 

Team need your help?

Oct 26th is the 2nd full moon of the fall equinox. Can you let me know the number of buck sightings for the week leading up to that? So basically from Oct 19th to the 26th. Thanks

RE: He got him!
 

My cousin has been keeping a log of the deer we have seen while hunting for the past 3 years. He writes down info for that day like temperature, wind, location, moon phase, ect... We have often looked back at the log for sightings on such weeks like before a full moon. It seems like the full moon dont effect buck too much. I always thought deer movement was better during the days of a new moon. There is an article in Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine a couple of months back. Pretty interesting. Im looking forward to seeing the results from our team on this.

RE: He got him!
 

Went out this afternoon and right around 6:15 cst a doe came up to the creek for a drink but I couldnt do a thing. Only shots I have are out over a corn field and right under me. Then about 10 minutes later 2 more doe's passed through again on the otherside of the creek. This is only 2nd time I have hunted this stand and learned a lot tonight. If I can find a tree on that otherside of the creek I am there. Really seems to be a funnel from some bedding to my east to a green field to the west. Chat ya soon.

RE: He got him!
 

Shot an antelope buck today, not proud of it but I made the longest shot I've ever made on an animal. I ranged him after a 400 yd stock as I hid behind a round bale, moved my pin and took him out. I decoyed one in for a younger guy the other day and he also nailed him, it's been a fun goat season!

Here's where I shot him, I was behind the bales on the left side of the grass in the middle of the field. My buddy is standing beside my antelope to the left and out a bit.
I hit him where his neck meets his spine and he dropped in his tracks.

RE: He got him!
 

Chad congrats on the pronghorns, lets see a close up? Any animal is a great kill with a bow.

RE: He got him!
 

Congrats on the antelope. Do you have any pictures of it?

RE: He got him!
 

He's also by far the smallest one I've ever shot, but those alfalfa/grain eating young ones are great eating!
