Awesome Mark, I still have yet to shoot a mature buck with a rack like those.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

And the this old buck, his teeth were wore down to nothing.

Check outthe triple brow tine on him.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Nice. How old do you think he was?

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Nice pics fin! Those are some GREAT deer!

Oh and fun...nice story about your daughter! I have a 7yr old too...she's a gem as well.

Went out this evening...saw a doe and 2 dinks....wasn't interested. Maybe next time! Its warm here....deer aren't moving good yet. Hopefully soon.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

well you guys i shot a small doe on monday night she came in to smell at my vannilla licorice scent bombs and i got a quartering away shot at 20 yards she only ran 70yrds:) i unfortunetly didnt get any pics bc it was late when we got back to the house and we butchered her that night anyways the insurance will cover my quad too:)

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Good job on the doe gb! .....and oh yeah....sorry to hear about your quad. That absolutely sucks. I hate a thief...nothing worse. I hope they wreck and break their neck (and live).

My bro-in-law had that happen to him about 10yrs ago....right out of his house as well. He did get it back 2yrs later! The cops knew of a atv theft ring in the area, and it took them a while to nail em. Amazing that they did and that it was still around. Glad to hear ins will cover it.

-Mike

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Congratulations on the doe Nathan. I hope somehow your quad turns up too.

I saw nothing but bushytails last night. however, work was stinking and i needed to get out. So, it was a lot better sitting in the woods then being in my office.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

morning fellas...i hunted last evening seen 4 does come out across the field about 200 ydrs away, and that was it. i cant wait for the prerut to kick in, shouldnt be long now.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Sounds like a good spot Nathan, and congrats again on #2. I'm hoping for #2 on Sat. Mark, I love the pre-rut, my favorite time to hunt. Especially if you can hunt during that 4-5 day window when calling is so effective. Nothing like it. Here anytime now.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Fun2hunt...yep it sure is, i tried a little light rattling last evening but nothing, its just like fishing though...if you dont have sucessone day youcant give up...you gotta keep trying.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Very true, you never know when it will work.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

How many more days till your opener Mike?

Im not going to get back out until saturday here....its blowing 40mph here today and pouring rain, and supposed to be the same yuk weather tommorrow.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I will be out on Saturday. It supposed to be a low of 59 and a high of 82. Should be perfect for hunting.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Well, I bought another stand today to hang.. I'll be hanging it tomorrow.. Closer to where the BUCKS are coming from.. Good times are coming, looks like the end of next week... Cooler temps.. can't wait for some snow..

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

That would be awesome, nothing like hunting in snow. What kind of stand did you get?

Another buck on the board, scored 89.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Here is my hour by hour weather for tomorrow. Its 51 now but will be warmer tomorrow. I'll be in the stand from about 3p until dark. Wind will be out of the south.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Hey guys, scoring question for you. I used the last buck posted as a sample to see if I would score it correctly and he came up with 89 6/8. I used the info below and came up with 86 1/8. What am I doing wrong?

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Good luckto everyone this weekend!I expect to be in a treestand tomorrow morning unless the weather is awful.We are supposed to get high winds and heavy rains tonight.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I got 89.75 or 89 3/4 or 89 6/8. The 1/8's can cause a problem.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Tried again and got 86.125 or 86 & 1/8. Oh well, hopefully I'll have to submit the score of my buck this weekend for you to check my math Dave. :D

In all seriousness, everyone be safe and have fun. Finally I'll be joining you tomorrow!!!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I bet you will be chomping at the bit. Good luck tomorrow. i will not be out until next week.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Thanks!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Hi team I got back late tonight. Drove 160 miles round trip. I got up in the stand about 4p and 4:30p a 4 pt walked right below me 5 yards out. He was too young, about 1.5 years old. He continued to feed along with his brother I think who was a spike. They were probably below my stand for an hour and a half. That's all I saw. It was really windy and I think it had the deer spooked. The gusts would come in and I would watch the 2 bucks get really nervous. One gust scared them and then they went and bedded down for a half an hour and came back out when it was calmer. Anyway, I had a perfect set up, wind was right, it just didn't happen.

How about you all?

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Hi everyone,
Yesterday's sits were nothing to write home about.I saw two bucks in the morning.One ran past me stand about 50 yards out like he was on fire.He had just been shot by a hunter who I didn't know was in the same piece of woods,about 200 yards away.That deer came past at 7:20,the hunter didn't attemot to track the deer.I got out of my stand at 9:00 and went over to see if there was blood where the buck had come through.There was,I didn't understand why the guy wasn't pursuing the trail.Long story short my friend that I was hunting with,(he in another stand on the same property)and I tracked this buck a quarter mile,we then back tracked it to see if we could determine where it was shot from.We came upon the hunter who shot the deer who had left the woods to go to a guitar lesson and was coming back to trail the deer.Nice guy,not happy that he is hunting in such close proximity,but what are you going to do when you don't own the property.We took him to the last blood we found and proceede to attempt to help him find the deer.We spent two hours with him,in some instances crawling on hands and knee's looking for drips.He had to go so he marked the last spot blood was found and was coming back later.Hopefully I will find out whether he recovered the deer.Seemingly the deer bled enough to have expired.
I had a five pointer walk underneath me,and I saw two doe's.Yesterday afternoon one doe and this morning's sit one doe.
I am hunting the only stand I have out that I havn't hunted this afternoon.It is way to warm!!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

My buddy shot an 8 tonight, around 90-100 inches.. Tomorrow I'm going out and hopefully shoot one.. Wind will be GOOD for me.. Temps are GOOD.. Its getting that TIME!!!

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I can't wait until the temps drop and the bucks start moving. There's no school on Thu or Fri; you know where I'll be.

When's the full moon in November? Last year the week before the full moon was magical. I shot mine on the full moon which was the fifth.


Edit: Full moon is friday already (the 26). And high temps in the low/mid 50s for my 4day weekend. Sounds good to me!

I didn't look for any rubs or anything lately, but I didn't see anything special while hunting.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Sounds liek the deer are starting to move. I'll be out Friday and Saturday this week.

Scot,
That amazes me that the guy would just leave like that and his excuse why. He must not have hit the deer that well that it traveled that far without finding it. Especially after the amount of time that it was given to lay down and expire. Who knows though.I trailed a deer once a pretty long way in rifle season before I found her bedded down. Sometimes they don't follow the rules.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

I saw three deer on yesterday afternoons sit.Unfortunately I saw them all on my way in to the stand.Two doe's and a spikehorn.The spike horn was bedded about 10 yards away from the stand tree.While on stand I saw two doe's at a distance,likely the two that I bumped on my way in.I was shocked because it was literally raining acorns,squirrels were going crazy around me.I have never seen or heard as many acorns come down.I was off a runway that looked like a cow path.It was very warm though.I am a little (lot) concerned about the amount of buck sign that I am seeing.Not many rubs at all,I did see two good scrapes Saturday while trailing that deer.I have seen four bucks but they all have been small.Bucks should start to get cranked up a little here shortly.
What scent products have produced for you guy's if any? I have had consistent results with Kishel's Buck thrasher II,James Valley Wall Hanger,and a company called Realdeer.I have always debated about the use of scents,with Bow Hunting especially I just want something that is going to stop them in a shooting lane.I would be curious to know what you guy's like to use.

RE: 19-Official Team Quiet Arrow Thread
 

Looks like everyone is starting to see young bucks which usually happens a week or 2 before the big boys show up. My buddy who was with me had 2 young bucks sparring in a field so the pre-rut is definately starting to kick in here. It was raining and 47 degrees here today, so no wonder it was so windy on Saturday. It was 82 while I was in the stand and blowing in the cold front. Hopefully this will get the bucks moving.
