How Did you make out so far
 

I was just wondering how you guys did so far. I've been hunting for 3 year with a bow and I shot 2 does so far and there the first i ever took with a bow..now i just hope i shoot a buck in the rut and tag out for the year :D

so far, 4 does, three misses. twenty some with the bow since 92. seeing lots, and getting lots of opportunities at does. believe I saw a good buck in a field with three doe tonight.

Got discovered twice once from the tree and once from a ground blind. Never saw the buck from the blind until he took off behind me. Must have been right behind me in thick cover judging by the the snort.[:o]
Nothing for dinner tonight.

Been out 5 times for about 2 to 2 1/4 hours each time. 3 morning and 2 evenings on 4 differant stands.

1 - first time out saw a 6 pointer, he was putting a hurt on the acorns for about an hour from 10 to 30 yards away...lots of video!

2 - second time out saw a nive 6 pointer on the edge of a picked bean field. He slowlycame from the downwind side of me and passed 15 yards broadside.

3 - third trip out I hunted a food plot.......lots of does. Does and fawns all over the place.At one timeright at the end had 11 deer on the 1/3 arce plot. Had numerousdeer within 10 yards numerous times!

4 - fourth time out had a big doe feeding for 45minutes from 20 to 30 yards,but I actually never had a shotopportunity at thisone. She was behind a bunch of trees in somefairly thinch brush.I also saw a deer feeding on the oak ridge across from me 75 yards away. I also jumped 4 deer walking back in.

5- fifth time I went back inthe morning to the picked bean field and SAW NOTHING!


Haven't been busted yet! I have gooten quite a bit of video. Hope those big bruisers start moving soon!

Good Luck!

I've been out 9 times with my wife trying to get her first buck. We have seen 21 different bucks and probably 60 does. She missed a 160 class buck last week. Oh well, the rut is coming!

season in jersey has been open since sept 10th ive seen tons of does and a fair amount of small bucks ( spikes and y bucks) only one decent 8 pointer. Seems like everytime i go out and bait and its a sunday (wich u cant hunt on in jersey) i always see a nice buck. i cant catch a brake this season but its still early the rut hasnt started yet!

I've been out 10 times so far averaging 4 hrs per hunt. I've taken 1 shot and killed 1 doe. ;) I've not seen any legal bucks in my area so far. Has to be 4pt on a side per our anter restriction regulations. I've seen a bunch of smaller bucks though. I've got 2 more doe tags and my buck tag to fill. And turkey season starts in less than 2 weeks. :)

RE: How Did you make out so far
 

well I got 2 does so far and have only seen a small 4 point. So alltogether I have killed 3 does with a bow and a squirrel too.

RE: How Did you make out so far
 

So far 3 shots and 3 doe. However, the last week and a half I seem to be a spike magnet!:D Everything I have seen are spikes and small fork horns.
