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.

RE: How Did you make out so far
 

So far...I have 2 doe. I missed a nice 8 point and then had a 2nd opportunity at him 5 minutes later when I stuck him in the shoulder bone and watched the arrow break off 3" inside the shoulder.. never found the buck. I dont believe he was mortally wounded though

RE: How Did you make out so far
 

Zippered a doe opening day (Oct 1), lost an arrow shooting at turkey in peanut field (will return for revenge ), but haven't been hunting for horn yet. It's too dang hot and I've got 'till Jan. Bucks will be moving alot better in a couple of weeks.
