2011-2012 Season Success Pictures
 

Time for a new thread for your trophy photos. :)

Alaskan Haul Road Caribou

Wyoming Pronghorn

Australian Feral Boar

Australian Water Buffalo

Australian Scrub Bull


A great find while bowhunting in Colorado. I'm guessing a mt. lion got this monarch. He net scored 224 B&C.




Texas Rio Grande Turkey


South Dakota white-tailed deer


I haven't shot a deer with a rifle in a long while and it felt good to do so. I made a perfect "thread the needle " shot on a Missouri ten pointer. I'm pretty proud of him.


1 of 2 cull does from Nebraska, and the second




A Nebraska coyote

A Hill Country, Texas 7 and 6 point. The seven was 18inches wide.



And finally, a Hill Country doe.



I'm looking forward to 2012!

Nailed this doe on opening day at 7:30AM, September 24th.

I'ts been a long time since i've posted on the board; I don't recognize anyone. I"m looking forward to talking shop with all of you. I admit i'm charged to be back because i'd like to share with you my Ohio archery opener. He's my best ever buck by far and I couldn't be prouder.

Western SD Archery
 

First deer i have been able to harvest with a bow in a few years due to work, almost forgot wat the rush felt like

Doe down
 

So oct 13th got in my stand warm night for my area around 55 degrees slow mornigng around 830 she and a larger doe cam strolling by around 15 yard. know the bigger doe has two fawns so she was off limits for me so i opted for this nice 1 1/5 old doe . the shot was quartering away it was a little forward .so i gave her a couple hours. i found my arrow with the last 4 inches at the top broken off. the standard muzzy 4 blade sliced wright thru .when i gutted her i found the rest of the arrow and my knocturnal knock was still glowing in her . i skinned the doe cut the doe . and ground and it is in the freezer :biggrin:

good job everyone.

I went out Monday evening October 10th and arrowed this buckeye bruiser. He scored 144 1/8". He is the best buck I have taken so far.

Oct 9th Doe
 

The doe I shot on Oct 9th shortest tracking job I have ever had clipped the spine straight through the heart. Praise God

32 Yards
 

Got this doe Oct 16 around 630p. Had 10 turkeys and 8 deer under my stand. Felt like I was in grand central station with all the activity LOL. I thought for sure a nice buck would show but he didn’t make it to the party…

Waited until the last possible min to take a shot, this doe busted me but I must not have scared here enough as she cautiously approached back to my stand. She was doing the foot stomp thing and I knew I only had one last attempt to pull the bow back. As her eyes disappeared behind a small tree I draw the bow and was ready and waiting as she came all the way around. I knew the tree was at 30 yards and she was 2 yards beyond it. I let the arrow fly, I watched my green luma-knock hit a little more to the rear then I wanted but it was enough. She fell in her tracks as I hit her spine. I quickly knocked another arrow to finish her off. I would have felt really bad if I would not have recovered the deer.

I will say that I would have lost these arrows if it weren’t for the lighted knocks, they went right under the leaves and I could just make out the green glow.

Montec Brodhead went completely through her spine but as she fell the tip of arrow shaft broke off, ill go back out and try and find it. Broad-heads are not cheap anymore!

Meat on the table! She was a nice sized doe.

On the evening of October 18th. I shot this doe here in Tuscarawas county, Ohio. Here are some pictures.

2011 buck shot on oct 14

Good stuff, except...

Anyway, freezer is stocked with a healthy doe.
Took my trackers with me, I'd already found her but I let them find her on their own.
Took my dog about 2 minutes once he got downwind of her, about ten minutes on the blood trail total, he even found my arrow.
We started at the shot location, took my son about 35 minutes to track her using the blood trail.






White oak flat 10:30am, 17 yards, ~85yd track, 3 blade Muzzy.
Lot of activity this morning, heard first buck grunting of the season, rattled in 2nd and 3rd buck of the season, spike and 6 point.

Here's my 2011 Bow Kill Buck
Green Score 176 1/8

Shot Yesterday @ 8:30am ...

10/27/11 Archery Buck - 9 point, best buck to date:)

Shot this one a day after PT's magic (on my 47th birthday).

Great going, Tony.

And yes, I shot it with my Hoyt compound. I've been so busy, I haven't made time to shoot my recurve. I'll still hunt with the recurve, this season, some.....if I can find time to shoot.

Good job guys, and gals!

Finally! 1st archery buck for me.... woohoo!

Tagged out (bucks)

Loving our new farm
 

Well I got to post in the gun only section earlier today and then found this so I thought I would share my success here too. My dad and I both got our first bucks with a bow this year and within a week of each other mine is a 145" 10 point and his is unscored 8 with a kicker but im guessing 140ish. Also im going to post a picture of my friends 3 legged doe because I think its kind of interesting.
