I know exactly how you feel. I am still licking my wounds that I suffered on my Illinois hunt. It really ticks me off that the deer were acting the way they were. I know it is all a part of bow hunting but everything should have been lined up for a better opportunity to get a shot at a nice deer. I did pass on a couple of decent deer bu6t I knew better deer were in the area and when you only have one tag for a buck I held onto the tag a little longer than I should have. I still had a good time, always have a good time in Illinois but when you put all the time in a stand and go home empty handed, it is just dissapointing. I'll stop whining now. Good luck to all that is still hunting.

2009 Iowa Buck
 

Ok team after getting back from Iowa a week ago finally getting a handle on work, home etc. I'm trying to post an attachment pic of my Iowa Buck gross score is 151 1/8. I'll try to get a scoring sheet done so we can get credit in the team scoring. Still trying to get my Ohio deer yet, just haven't seen anything I wanted to shoot yet.

Way to go chris, nice buck.
I have let us down so far this year, but still have the late season to hunt with a bow.
Congrates chris.

Alright Chris!

Sorry that I haven't been around guys...

I just got a new Wirehair Dachshund puppy to train for blood trailing. I have been on three tracks this year that didn't end up with a deer. I am probably going to go gun hunting more for the rest of the year, just to get hide, blood, and liver to train my dog with.

I will pick up the bow some more and my season runs through February, so I still have some time.

How many of our team members are done bowhunting for the year?
I will have about three weeks left of bow season after shotgun season closes on the 20th. I will be out there trying to fill my any-sex tag.
Hang in there guys it aint over till its over.

GOOD LUCK.

I went ahead and took a doe with my gun last weekend, and I plan to take the bow back out now that I have meat in the freezer. Our season lasts through Jan. So I got some time still, I will be able to hunt some during Christmas break. Good luck and be safe!

Congrats Chris!!! Great Buck!

Chris, great buck. I have not had a chance to go back out since my Illinois trip in November. Will try and make it out a couple of times here in Florida before season ends.

Going this afternoon. I found a good scrape and a rub line, that closes in at a creek crossing. It's in a pinch. I hope I set it all up right, if so and the deer do what I think, I should have a 35-40 yard shot, wind is perfect today. I'll let you guys know how it turns out!

Congrats on the buck Cris. Im still trying.

Oh yeah I did manage to shoot 3 does within about 4 minutes of each other on opening gun then got another doe 2 weeeks later during gun.
