Had an exciting day yesterday. A buddy and I rattled in several bucks - 1 very large 12pt he's been hunting all season. No deer down but was still a good day. Sat on stand all day from dawn to dusk. Spent most of that time watching a buck mounting a doe off and on about 2 miles away in the center of a cut bean field. Binoculars are great.
Had several deer throughout the day come through. 1 shooter buck stopped broadside in my lane but was 10 yards too far for a good shot

Heading back out now to sit the rest of the today.

Good luck everyone!

Well guys, yesterday on my first day of my vacation I blew my first shot on a nice buck. I misjudged the yardage and shot a little high. On top of that, he ducked my arrow. When he jumped back up the arrow actually bounced off of his back. No broadhead cutting of any sorts, my arrow deflected up in the air and out in the field. About a hour after that a coyote came in and I was just POed enough that I let him have it. He is laying in my garage waiting to be skinned out.

Last night I headed up north with a buddy of mine and we seen 0, notta, zippo zilch...no deer. But we seen a lot of turkeys and had some with in 60 yards, but they just turned and went anther direction.

This morning yielded worse results than last night. Absolutley nothing, just a squirrel.

But things are a changing and I don't know how much hunting I will get to do. They took my grandmother to the hospital last night and now she is on life support and the plug may be pulled at any time.

But I plan on hunting unless the family lets me know other wise. Maybe I can score one in her honor!!

hey Hammer you said you had people wanting venison huh? PM me and we can see about getting some of the does out of my father-in-laws land.

on a side note, one of the better propertys i have just got sold. so i have excatly one week to get crap taken out of there.
they are probably going to clear cut it and build houses on it.. [:@]


glad you guys are seeing lots of bucks, i rattled in a little 5 pointer sunday, but the best thing is i saw a 12 pointer which was easily 150 class, walking down the road on my way to go hunting in the afternoon on sunday.. HUGE guy.. im gonna ask permission to hunt the field that i saw him cross. hopefully i get the OK.

been seeing more rubs and a scrape, and the bucks seem to respond to the rattling more now. we should be getting some bucks here soon.

good luck guys

Well the archery season ended here , but i can still hunt with a bow in the rifle seasons and plan to in the residential areas , i dunno how that works tho , i think that if you get a buck in rifle season with a bow it should stll count , so we will have to see.. the season ended with only shot opertunities with small buck ... kill some deer guys , i got talk to Rob bowyer...the rifle season starts the monday after thanksgiving here in pa so ill be out there

We still have alot of time left! I have got my eye on a monster 8 point (probablly gross in the low 140's as an 8 point). He is bedding in a small patch of brush in the middle of a golden rod field! I will be set-up about 120 yards from where he beds on the first day of rifle with bow in hand. The woods I am hunting are going to be barren except for me and the property around me gets hunted hard! Every deer that gets bumped off these property's runs down into my 'honey hole"!

Hey BM how come you ignored my question?

Hey buckeye, I didn't even see it. I will see if I can get some pics up either later this evening or tommorow!

Hey guys, here are some pics..

This is a little 5 point I shot, and while skinning it, I found a b-head and two pumpkinballs in it. It had puss pockets in it, so I called the PGC and they came and got the deer and replaced my tag!



Here is the big boy, when I found him, he had already been gotten into so I threw a tag on the antlers and left the body there!



And some more pics.......

Those are some nice deer ya got there BM,impressive i must say.I really like the 10 pointer in the pic where he is hanging up with the shed in the back ground,looks to have some good growth on him.
