Official Team "Non-Typical" (3) Thread
#202
Season ends here around the end of the month or so and then opens again toward the last half of december, after the rifle hunters create the havoc here in Kansas. How about all of your seasons? I've read a couple in the previous posts already.

Any new updates? I've been seeing ALOT of good bucks around now that the rut is in full swing and archery season is over.[:@][:@] PA is so screwed up. They want us to take out all these deer but won't let us hunt during the peak of the rut. Big Country should be back form Illinois. Hopefully he'll put us on the board. We're only 1 of 2 teams that haven't scored yet. Good luck to everyone. Our gun season opens up on Monday.

hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while. We turned off the internet at the house since we pay all these tech. fees at OU. I shot a doe on thursday night and my buddy shot one on friday morning. I have seen a couple good bucks but haven't had any good opportunities. I haven't been able to get back to my property in NW oklahoma yet, we still have almost 2 full months of season left, so I'm not too worried yet. Anyway, good luck.

Well guys, I am sorry to report that I have not helped our cause yet.
For the first time in probably 15 years I hit a buck and did not get him![:@]
He was only in the 180-190 class anyhow.
The good thing is........he is still walking, and I will go back for another 7-10 days after Christmas for round # 2.
Deer902, I have a short video clip of the buck I hit, we will have to get together so you can see just how bad I messed up!!!
I saw this buck very early in my hunt, and I passed on bucks up to 150" waiting for a crack at this guy. I had my chance, and I just blew it!
I hit him too far forward. He is still definately alive, I saw him four more times over the next week before I came home, and nobody caught him off my farm during gun season.....so I am going back after him.
We can still rack up some points guys....it ain`t over yet!!!

Sorry to hear that BC. He was ONLY 180-190 class anyways. You should of let him grow up.
Do you have the video on your digital camera? Is it possible to email it? I'd love to see it. Good luck on getting him when you go back. Are you headed out for PA gun season next week?

Bob, no digital video. My buddy caught him on a regular VHS tape at about 40 yards.
My videoing everything cost me a wide open shot at this buck on November 7th! He walked right past me in the open at 15 yards, but I had hung up my bow and turned around to video a 135" ten point when this big guy walked right in front of my stand.
I already hung stands for gun season, but I just cannot bring myself to carry the rifle. I will be using a bow next monday. Anything over 125" is fair game.
Good luck next week, and we will meet up to watch the tape of the big one.

Sorry to hear that big country... Hope you can get one. I'll be out some more this year, so don't rule me out..
This is the last weekend because rifle season and unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll be able to get out. But we'll see.
Also, I got some cool video of when my buddy and I walked up on his big Mule Deer during the night. It looks kind of like a blair witch project video, and was tough to focus since it was night time, but it is pretty cool. I can send it to ya guys if you want, just let me know you email addresses.

Yeah KS, send it to me [email protected] Mitch, I know what you mean about carrying a gun to hunt with. It's almost like cheating. I have my camera set up on a scrape that is (no lie) 8 feet around. I've had more than a couple people tell my brother in law and I about this huge buck that they see at night in the area. I'm going to set up about 50 yards down wind of this scrape for Monday nd hope for the best. I'm going to pick up my camera on Friday and develop the film over the weekend. I'm hoping he's on there and then I can get REAL excited about first day. Let me know when you want yo get together to watch the film and shoot around a little.

Sorry to hear that big country. You must have been pretty upset. Hope you get another shot at him. Also, if you shoot a buck with your bow during gun season, it still counts right? I'll be out this weekend so I'll update on monday.
