RE: Opening morning a bust grrrr
 

I had 4 different bucks cruise by me this morning. Nothing of the shooter variety though. My buddy saw 5 bucks and 4 does from his stand. Pretty active morning around here.

I'm with GMMAT on this one..sunrise was 7:28, what are you doing thinking of shooting 45 minutes early??

RE: Opening morning a bust grrrr
 

Sun rise is 7:23 hear according to weather bug. I wasn't grabbing my bow to try and shoot, it was more that, here they come, will there be more? so I figure I would try and get my bow, stand up and be ready so when there was enough lite and they where going to come in, and if there is a buck,I was ready. The land owner said not to shoot any does.

fair enough, i'll take your word on that. good luck.

6:45 is to early. " sun rise " 7:23 now if a deer presents its self to me at 7:10 to 7:22 I don't think I would pass just because of a couple of minutes. I am an honest hunter and stay in the guide lines.

RE: Opening morning a bust grrrr

Well, tonight was a good night except for that doe that busted me when a huge 10 pointer came out. It was about 600pm and about 60yards down the powerline cut a huge buck stepped out and headed my way. the buck was about 40 yrds away I heard something to my right, I looked over and saw a big doe with a button buck looking up right at me. I stayed motionless for about 3 minutes hopeing that they didn't bust me. Well they did and she blew about 50 times, scared the buck away, here's the kicker she ran off to only come back to the same spot, by this time I was twisted and mad at her, she walked right into the wheelhouse and well I've got me some venison for the freezer. Shot her with a 100gr rage 2 blade , with a x-force at 72Lbs and a 450 grain arrow and didn't get a passthru, right behind the shoulder double lung. I wish I could show you folks the damage that the head took, it all about was destroyed, No shoulder hit just some ribs busted.She ran only about 60yards and piled up, once home I checked her out, I only broke 2 ribs on one side and then the tip bent and blades twisted up. Not real assuring considering all the hype of these heads. She only weighed 125lbs. Just wanted to break down the hunt and pass on info to you folks.
