Well guys the rut is kicking off here, so heres hoping i can get one one the ground in the next 3 weeks

Best wishes Miles...GET HIM!

Hey Ram, I keep forgetting to ask about your Custer elk hunt. How that go?

Sounds and looks like you had a fun time Will... thats a nice stag you got! Congrats to both of you! Nice shootin!

Spent 4 days hunting in the Shawnee Forest this past weekend. It was cold, at least for our neck of the woods. I saw more deer than I have all year. The mornings were a little slow, but the least I saw was 16 deer at a sit. I even had a small 8 pt chasing a doe for about an hour. (Is that late or what?) unfortunately, i never did see anything I cared about shooting. I have got a freezer full of does. But I'm not totally giving up yet. I've got about a week and half to go, but I'm not sure how much opportunity I will have. I will be out on closing day for sure as that has become a sentimental sort of ritual. Hope you all are having a good winter, we are expecting our first snowfall of the year tonight.

I thought I'd get things swinging in here and bump our thread to the top.

I was asked to prepare a slide show of my 2009 season. I hope you guys don't mind me sharing it with you. Enjoy!

Great slide show. What an incredible year. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hey Rocky
Good to hear from you. How's it going on your side? I see from the scorecard that you helped get your team in a competitive position! All I can say is that the deer gods gave me a few opportunities at some nice bucks that I failed to cash in on. I still have a few weeks left and am still chasing a few good bucks are that haven't yet shed.
Let's team up again next year, lol...

Hey guys I'm still alive! hahaha

Huck - I never made it back out to hunt at Custer again with corn harvest this year. So I ate myself some tag soup!

I haven't been doing much here besides trucking, but have made it out coyote calling a few times. I have 6 coyotes under my belt so far (way behind my schedule of previous years), so I need to start hitting that up HARD!

Rammer
You bow hunting them or Rifle? I'd say rifle LOL, you mentioned trucking ,is that what you do for a living ?
Rocky

Rocky - I am rifle/shotgun hunting the coyotes. If I can get a buddy to go sit in a snowbank with me I will try to stick one with an arrow since I'll have back up.

I don't "really" truck for a living, I'm a farmer. But, I do put on about 53,000 miles a year in a semi. I mainly just haul our crop to the elevators/ethanol plants, but I do help out neighbors when they are in a bind. So I do have alot of seat time. I've logged close to 350,000 miles now.
