I am still waiting to see a 140 class buck on the hoof from my tree stand!!! Maybe this year....

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Well our season opened over the weekend. Saw lots of deer but no shooters....yet.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Hey Rodgers, whats the status on Hercules? Havnt heard much from you about him lately....

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

No which is fine for now, as I havent been out since the beginning of Sept so Im hoping hes just loafing around in his corny grassy house staying out of everyones sight.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Well had a small basket buck come by at 50 yards tonight and then a nice 9 point went through the same area. Next weekend is muzzleloader season so I will putting away the bow for 2 weekends to try to get one tag filled with a small buck so I can be picky and go after Hercules with my bow. Hows everyone else been doing that has been out?

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

I saw 5 doe tonight, 1 mom and 2 young ones. and 1 mom with a very little one, it still has spots, a lot of them. Saw one small buck on Sat. the opener here in Pa. Still dark and 50 yds away from the nephews stand site.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

1st night out finally! WOWZERS! I put a post up regarding the hunt. It was quite a night. I just gotta say the buck I saw tonight made those 8 pointer pix look like basket racks! I am now shooting for one of the 3 biggest deer I have ever seen! 12+ points huge G2's, huge brow tines and very heavy mass. This guy has been getting his minerals for sure. I'm no expert at scoring but I have seen 150 class bucks and this one is every bit that big!!!I was totally amazed and a total surprise for sure! More to follow!!!!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Well I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I will have deer sticks to eat for awhile now. More good news, I get to be picky as hell during the rest of the archery season and go after 1 buck. The bad news is that I might not get a deer for the archery contest but if I do it will be a monster.

If you havent figured it out I just shot a deer with my muzzleloader. Nothing special, a little basket 8 but he will taste good.

I just returned from this season's Archery moose hunt ,I would like to say we were successful ,but unfortunately we didn't bring a moose home with us ,we had some good chance's and the weather wasn't very cooperative ,with rain and snow pretty much every day we hunted . I called a large bull out to my friend and he wasn't comfortable with a 60yrd shot ,so he returned to the wood's unscathed,next season I guess.
I have been out 2 time's since I returned home seeing deer on each occassion , but nothing close enough to get a shot on . The farm's I hunt have just cropped out the bean's and plowed up the other field that they had killed off ,so when I scouted it this morning ,it look's like the deer are becoming a little more active ,so hopefully this week I'll be out Wedand Thurs . Good luck everyone

I have seen nothing in the last couple sits. I am heading out to my other locations over the next couple days to check them out.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Been out a couple times and and heading out again next week after the 4 day antlerless hunt is over. Been enjoying everything I have seen so far. Had the pleasant surprise of seeing another buck that was this [:-]big too. 2 dandy potential bucks so I am amped and ready to score one of these 2 guys. I will keep everyone up to date!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Where did everyone go??

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Im still here.:)

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

I'm still here. All I'm seeing are doe. That's a good thing because I have to take one before I have a chance at a buck. Now if only they would come a little closer to my stand.[:@]

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Well I am set now. I have 1 EAB sticker so I'm all ready to roll. I could have bagged a smaller 8pt last week and a little 6 pt. I have seen deer everytime I have been out so thats always a bonus. I'm waiting to see how it goes with these 2 other bucks I saw. Definitely starting to see an increase in rubs and scrapes just this weekend. Gonna be in the 20's the next 2 mornings so that may get the bucks moving finally but it still looks like the rut activity wont be picking up in earnest till at least the 6th of Nov. Who knows though....

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

I got word tonight that my grandpa saw Hercules when they were harvesting the corn around my blind. Hopefully he decides to take up residence in the switch grass in front of my blind or the willows to the side of it.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Shot a buck tonight. It is smaller than I wanted but needed to be taken out. I tried to put the horns back together for an inside measurement and get about 14.5 I will score the rest tomorrow. I am beat and going to bed. They are starting to move!!!!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Good work!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Ok, the best I can do for score is 80 6/8. That is using a 14.5 inside spread. That is using my best deer skull piecing back together skills.lol Put that one in the books Captn. Thanks.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Where is everyone? Are you guys still with us? I hope you are to exhausted from spending all day in a tree to come on here.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Congrats we are on the board!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Way to get us going tkycaller. Congratulations and I'll try and add something to the cause before the season is over.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Sorry guys Ive been busy with school. Ive been doing some hunting over the weekends. The bucks are finally starting to act like they wanna get some tail, so hopefully the freaking wind will cooperate with me this weekend. Great job tkycaller!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Thanks Everyone. I knew you guys where out there somewhere!!! I am getting ready to head to Lanark, Illinois in the morning. I hear the weather is going to be good for us out there. Sounds like the bucks will be on their feet.

I will type to you when I get back. Hope you all score while I am gone for the next 8 days.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Weather looks like hell here in Iowa for the weekend. All I can go is hope for a miracle..:eek:

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Its been rough here in WI the last few days. Record heat in the mid 70's at the beginning of the week put the brakes on much of the action. Now its howling wind and snow/rain and in the mid 30's. Didnt see much yesterday in the morning. Weather is moving out today so hopefully the afternoon pans out. We can only hope!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Sorry guys I let the team down. I just got back from NE Indiana trip and I killed a 10pt that scored 132 7/8 at 6 minutes after legal shooting light on the first morning of the hunt, but I can't enter it into the contest because I accidentally deleted all of my kill pictures off of my digital camera. I had a bunch of pics of the deer posed with and without the bow and with and without my buddies etc. and that afternoon my buddy, that I was up there hunting with, caped it out for me and cut the horns off (CWD ban in Arkansas so that's what you have to do to bring it back into the state. You can'tbring back the skull or any bones). I even had a picture of the broadhead hole through the heart[:'(]Anyway a couple of days later I was viewing the pics on the camera and they weren't viewing right and I went to try and adjust the settings and somehow managed to delete the pics. The only surviving kill pics with my bow is on my cell phone. I have no idea how I can post that. I took some more pics last night, after I got home, of the rack. To be honest I don't know how to post those either. I'm not much of a picture guy[&:]No big deal on my behalf but I hate it for the team. If you guys want to see the pics of the rack I can email them to you and if you want to see anyof the kill pics I can text them to you. Sorry!!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

text them to me I can maybe post them if I can receive the pic. Pm sent

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Buck I texted you some of the kills pics and I emailed some of the pics I took after I got home.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Let me know where you want the pics and Ill post them for you. Also if you give me the measurements I will post them in the score card thread too. Nice job on a great buck. too bad about the other pics but these will do.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

:Dmight help if I posted pics:eek:

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

..

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Ill start up a thread for ya in the Bowhunting Forums. Congrats again!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Thanks Buck! It's nice to have a technology wiz on the team:DI will add the score sheet to the thread. Thanks again!

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Anytime. Now if I can figure out how to get a friggen big buck underneath my stand. My dad just bought me a flambeau Master series buck decoy. Looks good from the pics. We'll see how it works.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

I hope the decoy works out for you! I entered the picture and score card into the "entry thread".

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Wow Look's like someone's having a little luck ,I had a 130 class buck walk past me at 30yrds the other night ,he came to the decoy and when I went to draw I had a limb restricting my from drawing ,when I put this stand up I could draw in all direction's standing ,but I never checked in a sitting position and this is where I have the problem ,unfortunately it may have blown all my chance's . I took a friend there about 2 week's ago and he scored on a wide rack 8 which would score around 120" .Just maybe something will happen this morning . I took my son Jared [11]out with me last fri morning a scored on a real nice doe, so thing's are happening here . The buck's were coming into the rut and then the weather turned very unseasonably warm ,but the weather is so up and down right now the deer don't know what the heck going on.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

Way to go! Looks like a real beauty. Congrats.

RE: Team 22 Offical Thread
 

WOW Shès pretty quiet here lately .only 1 post since I was here last month. Im still hunting hard and been only close on 1 occassion ,thingès donèt seem to be going my way this season . I only have 1 dope to my credit this season. Weève been hunting hard ,but we have over2 to 3feet of snow to deal with and the deer seem to have disappeared ,but after many days of hiking through this snow and bad weather and searching different hunting properties,I finally found the deer ,they have paths 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide in the snow heading in and out of the standing corn and in and out of the pines. I found a 5 point intersection where the deer are running very regular so hopefully this weekend Ill get in there and finish off my season with a decent buck. Ièll keep youès all updated on my progress ,good luck to the rest of you.
