Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Okay, today is scouting, meeting and eating day. No hunting 'til tomorrow morning.

The weather is looking great and I think some nice deer will be taken during the next week.

I do think I need to share this. I beat Justin in the TechnoHunt.


More to come. ;)

Bwaahahahaa... :D

Justin is still making a copy of the video he took. I was the shooter today.

You can enter 1 buck and 1 doe, or2does and 0 bucksfor this competition. Part of the score is for the deer (antler inches on bucks and weight on does) A big part of the score is the the footage and interviews.

I basically suck at being in front of the camera, Justin is Mr. Smooth. I hope I'm better behind the camera than I am in front of it.

This morning it was raining for most of our hunt. We saw two dinky deer which walked right up to the stand. That was pretty much it.

Afterwards we hung some of our stands on different ends of the property. For the afternoon hunt we went to one of the spots where we hung stands. Within 15 minutes we started seeing deer. We had a big doe with a bad foot come in. I drew on her when she was at 10 yards. She was hard quartering towards me. Then she noticed us. She walked a bit closer... stared... then kind of spun and walked off. Never giving me a good shot. It felt like I was holding that bow back for a million years.

Anyhow, then some 1.5 year old bucks came in. Hung around for awhile. Then five does and fawns walk right by the stand. I draw. They came straight in (downwind) and then passed nearly underneath us and walked straight away. [:@]

I let the bow down again.

Then one of the does come back.

She stopsgiving me a really pretty broadsideviewand I draw again. By now I can hardly pull my bow back. (I can barely pull it back on a good day.) She catches some movement and jumps two bounds. Stops, looks back and wham. Arrow through the chest. She makes it 40 yards and plops over. Yay team!

Justin got pretty good footage. He's slick with the camera. She was behind some leaves when she stopped but otherwise it looks good.

Next it's Justin's turn. He needs to bring in a buck 130" or better. (or a 300 lb doe)

Out of 14 teams, two does have been taken so far. Several teams have seen some nice bucks but haven't been able to put a tag on one.

There you go. We'll get some pictures on soon but we really need some sleep. It's been a long day.

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Heycongrats on the doe..great shot. Good luck the rest of the way..even though I still have no idea what you guys are talking about!

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

The challenge would probably be fun to do.
But the show sure is bad!

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Congrats on the doe. Best of luck.

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Congrats on your success. You will learn how to be comfortable in front of the camera. It takes a while but then it seems like you are just talking to one of your friends. You know we can talk hunting all day so just be yourself. Good luck to you both.

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Well at the end of day two, we're now in third place. Two bigger does have been taken. So far no bucks.

Some really nice bucks have been videoed.

I was camera person for this afternoon's hunt. Justin and I had a couple of bucks come in. A 100-ish" messed up rack buckcame by at 30 yards. A 135-140" buck teased us for at least a half hour. He was 50-60 yards pretty much the whole time.I got some good footage of him. Maybe he'll come closer next time.

Tomorrow is another day............ ;)

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

way to go girl!!!

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Day two is here: http://www.huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=795


Day three: http://www.huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=794

(go easy on him for the typos, we're in a hurry and way short on sleep.)


Oh... and I beat Justin at the Techno Hunt again. :):D
This timeI won a set of 20' climbing sticks. woohoo!

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Last night Justin shot a beautiful 130" buck. The hit was a bit far back so we had a nervous night but we found the buck around 200 yards from the stand this morning.

Another team shot a monsterous doe and a buck this morning. The doe weighed around 170 lbs and the buck scored 136". So, dependingon the video scores, we're either in first place or second.

Either way, we're the happiest two people on the planet. We've got three deer in the truck and great footage.

Life is good... :)

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Awesome guys! Way to go.. is this the same buck D.M. just posted??

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Awesome news Christine and Justin.

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One

RE: Campbell's Challenge Day One
 

Yep, that's the buck!

Walt, I just picture a carp on the side of the deer before I shoot and then I pick a scale. ;)
