Hi guys!:D

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Hey guy's what up? Went out scouting and shed hunting last weekend behind my land. Found some interesting stuff and a few stand sights. How's everyone's 2009 season comming along? I'm going to expand 2 of my food plots and hope to get them planted by the end of May. Keep pushing 3 peat for the horses

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Not a whole not new yet for next year. Ive been getting ready for turkey season/working/college lately, so there hasn't been a whole lot of deer on my mind.

Sent out my deposit to go to canada the other day. Im going back for a redeemer on blackies. This will probably be my last trip to canada for a while since im going out west for elk in either 2010 or 2011, hopefully 2010 but its not looking good for that right now.

Keep it real homies.

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Also getting ready for turkey season.... I really need to get to the outdoor range and make sure I'm good on the longer range shots, since I've mainly been shooting indoor since last hunting season.... Also getting my limited entry apps ready too - a lot of deadlines coming soon...

Al - So when are you looking at your bear hunt? Any ideas on what your thinking for an elk hunt - you going archery?

Went up to the cabin this weekend. The wifey is out of town with my daughter so I took the opp to get some work done. I cut a sh-t load of firewood did some more scouting and did some minor repairs to the cabin and the garage. While I was out roaming around the woods I went out to 1 of my food plots and it's was turning green. Clover is starting to come up and the deer seem to be hitting it.I'll let it come up and see what it looks like in a month.

Well guys, I may have found a goodopportunity down in Kansas for this fall (if anyone else was interested if you let me know soon, I could probably get you in on it). Trying to decide if I want to just go for it and risk drawing some other limited entry tags or what? I would hate to plan the KS trip and then draw a limited sheep tag or elk tag someplace..... The wife would freak out if I try and take off on 3 out of stateshunts this fall :D

Decisons... :eek:

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Jason I'm in the same boat right now, too many hunting opp's this year.I would plan the KS sure thing hunt then wait and see about the tags. With most draw tags you can defer them for a year. Thanks for the offer I just got way to much going on.

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

WAA WAA, lol :D:D:D:D

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

On a good note I got all my food plots done,I might do a secondary plant in September but for now she is done. We got everything in the ground then it started raining and rained lightly for a day and a 1/2. I'll get some pictures next time I go up.

We saw a buck at the end of the day that I reconized right away. He was shot in 07 and we only had 3 pics of him last year. I hope this year he makes a come back.




Tony your just jealous your not a Dark Horse.

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Dan, that's a great looking buck in your pic! Hope you get a crack at him!



Yeah, I guess it's always better to have to many options rather than not enough.... :D

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Wow its been a while since ive got on here!

Jason- I'll be in northern Ontario august 13th-23rd. The elk hunt is still up in the air, lot of things will be going on in the next few years for me, graduating college, finding a job...yada yada yada. I hope I can get in a good out of stater before life takes over!

Dan-Wow thats a heck of a buck there. Should be a slammer if he makes it!!

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

He was a good buck in 2007 but in 2008 he lost some spread and tine length. If you look at his back leg in the first pic you can see a bullet hole. Someone tried poaching him.
Here is a differant look from 2007



Here he was last year





I hope this year he come back even stronger. I think I know where he is bedding and I have a tree already for a west wind.

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Nice pics! Won't be long and I'll be putting out my cameras.... Usually I don't do it until end of July or so, but that really isn't that far away.... LOL

Fellas, I shot some turkey hunting footage so far this spring. I put everything together in a neat little package. Check it out - on a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a3 on the amusement meter. LOL

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Fran good vid.:D

For the holiday weekend I'm heading up to land to check on the plots and do some atving. I decided to plant some pumpkins and sweet corn in this 1 plot back in the NW corner of my land. I put this one in last year and it is right next to a bedding area. If I plant them know it will be good to go come season.

Everyone I hope you have a good holiday weekend.

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Went up this weekend to have some fun. After I got threw the 150 some ticks that were on the kids dogs wife and myself it was a good time. Saw my first fawn of the year I think she was just born she could hardly walk. The food plots are looking good I put some corn in and pumkins just to see what happens.

Later fella's

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Howdy boys its been a while!Been hitting the turks hard but they havn't treated me very good this year. Usually ive atleast had the opportunity to miss one by now, but I cant even come close. Seem like the more I turkey hunt the more I suck, if this trend continues I wont even be able to put my boots on the correct feet next year...[:@]

In other news...

Put out the trail cams for the first time today, not in my big buck spots but in the orchard out back to get some does and what not. Just want to make sure they are all running right.

Im commited to bear hunting again this year too so my funds might be tight for the Ohio trip, I really hope I can pull it off though, sounds like a load of fun!

Havn't shot the bow in a solid month, gotta kick the dust off of her shortly and see what all she needs before next year, im hoping just a new string but a new QAD pro would be sweet:D. Arrows are a must too, Im down to three good onesafter a vicious timing mistake last time I was out shooting...:D Shes all squared away now, no worries.



Have a good one fellers!

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

Well boy's my Alaskan adventure is not going to happen this year we didn't get drawn for the moose tags.I think next year it will happen. I'm going to head out to Colorado for either Elk or Muley action.It's been a few years since I shot a Muley,if I can get my hands on a muzzleloader tag I might do that.If I can't then it's Elk. I might still be here for opening weekend of bow season so I could shoot a buck here then go shoot one out there. I think that's a lot to shoot for:Dbut we all have to have dreams.

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
 

First buck of the year.

RE: Official Team The Dark Horses Thread (Returning Champs) (13)
