The Cityboy scores!! This morning started out great for me. There was a heavy frost on the ground and the air was still. I started seeing some deer during that period between first light and sunrise. Three does came out through an opening but didn't hang around long. As they were leaving a small buck came out and was within 12 yards. He wasn't chasing the does, just out for a bite. Figured I would just watch him. The temp started to warm and the frost began to melt. Over the next hour and a half I saw another 10 does, most in pairs and all out of range, but still fun to watch and see where they were coming from and going to. Then a fawn came wondering by all alone, just trotting by. I decided I would leave my treestandat 10:30 and that would get me home by noon. A few more deer cross my opening out of range. At 10:30 I started packing up all my gear. Everything was ready to go, I just needed to unscrew my quiver hanger. As I turned to take it down I see this guy come out into the open. He came out in a gentle walk and I watched just long enough to decide this guy is ready for my action. I turned by back to him and pulled my arrow from the quiver and nocked it up, then made the big turn. Some things you can't explain, but the guy didn't see me. That's all I needed. I estimated he was at 35 yards, and was walking away but still broadside. It was so fast I didn't have time to start shaking (yep, thatbuck fever always gets me).I wasn't a good shotbut he left amassive blood trail. I went into town for a quick lunch and then back out. This treestand is over a mile from the car so I got my workout today. I'll let you know what it scored sometime tomorrow. I hope it's over 50!

Hot damn, we're on the board!! Good shootin' there Tex!!

I let a little buck pass yesterday, he might have scored 15...lol. He was on the trail of a doe. No, I didn't tag the doe. It was before sun up and I couldn't make out whether it was a button buck or doe, so I hesitated. When I finally determined it was a doe I drew back and the dang arrow plopped off the rest. By the time I got it back up, she had turned and all I saw was deer butt. [:'(][:@]

Thursday and saturday, buddy Bill and I will head down south fora refuge hunt. Hopefully, I'll be able to score!

Congrats KC!!

Well my buddy who I allowed to hang a stand on my property saw a brute the other night. He said he would roughly score 120 which is a nice boy here in West Mich in my opinion. The wind is perfect for where I believe he is bedding and going.. Hopefully I get a peak at him tomorrow morning.. nice cold night! wish me luck

RE: 11-Official Team 11 Pernicious Predators Thread
 

Okay Sparrow, go and get him - then let your buddy back on your property!! Good luck.
I'm hoping everyone else on the team is gearing up for the rut. My son is out of school (6th grade)Thurs and Fri so I think I'll take a day off and take him out. He says he wants to do a morning hunt. We'll see.
I scored my buck today. He came in at 71 4/8. It's now posted on the official score card.
Good luck to all. It's getting exciting out there.

Like I said it was a really exciting weekend for me in the woods. Friday night I heard a lot of grunting down in the swamp, but could not coax him out. Saturday was fun. I saw a red fox that played around my stand for a while. Then, about half an hour before dark I had a small 6pt come downwind heading to feed. I grunted at him 3 times and he came a-runnin. walked right under me. Cool encounter. Sunday I was hunting down the road about 5 miles from home and I had ANOTHER smaller 6pt 100 yards out. I grunted 3 times like the previous day, and he came right in like on a rope. I've never seen deer respond so, so well to the calls. Hopefully I can lay one down wed fri sat or sun. Good Luck, sorry I got long winded.
