Thanks for the video KS. Real nice buck. Tell your bud Congrats.

I'd like to see it KS. [email protected] thanks

Thanks again Kansas awesome video.

Well, my buddy and I have been hunting this spot pretty hard in the past 3 weeks. About everytime we go out we see some nice bucks. On Thanksgiving morning my buddy watched a non-typical at 50 yards for a while that had 15 points and a small 3" droptine, and another bigger-frame buck behind him.

I'm heading out tomarrow for the opening day of rifle season. I'm not going to hunt with the rifle but my girlfriend will. She's never shot at a deer in her life but I think we have some good chances at seeing one of those big bucks. And I know the gun can reach out there a ways, as long as she can hit it. So I guess we'll see. I'm saving one of my spots and am not going to hunt it with the rifle, so that once bowseason comes back here in a couple weeks, the deer won't be spooked. I'll keep you guys all updated.

Hi Guys,

Sorry its been awhile since last post. No luck in Illinois this year.
I did shoot a 5 point with my bow on the first evening of PA rifle season 11/29.
I took him right near my house and you can't hunt with a rifle because of the 150 yard from any building regulation. The archery regulation is only 50 yards, so I decided to use my bow because I seen a real nice 8 point there Sunday Morning. Didn't see him so I took this 5 point. I know it isn't much in the way of scorable points but since I only harvested 2 does in Illinois this year it was time to take a buck. I will get his score when I pick it up from the butcher.

Yeah, We're on the board! Congratulations! What to go Dmax. Now the rest of us need to contribute too. I shot a doe today with my gun. 3rd doe of the year. My wife is ticked off. So maybe its time to hold out for a buck. I'll be back in a tree stand after Christmas with my bow in hand. Good luck to all. And congrats again.

WOOHOO congrats DMAX. When I get off for christmas break, I'll have from Dec. 16 til Jan. 15 to hunt whenever I feel like it. Hopefully I can catch the second rut.

Dmax maybe that will jumpstart us to all do our parts to help out the team.

Congrats DMAX. It's good to have some points up.

Yesterday evening, I took my girlfriend out hunting. She has never shot a rifle in her life and unfortunately we didn't have time to practice before the hunt, but we did practice holding and looking through it. One of my hunting spots has with a lot of nice bucks which always seem to stay right out of range of my bow so far.

So yesterday, we watched a group of deer out in the middle, and after a few minutes of watching one good buck, she had the one she wanted at about 150 yards. She pulled the trigger and my .308 target rifle dropped him. He is about 18-19" wide, with about 11-12" tines, 8 pt. frame with a kicker on the right burr, and a broken-kicker on the left G-2. It's not a monster but deffinately a great deer for a first deer and first animal kill ever. I've never seen her so excited in her life, and she says she can't wait for January to go shoot a doe. She said she finally realized why I'm so hooked, and couldn't beleive the rush she had, with her heart pounding a hundred miles a minute. It was probably the best hunt of the year. I'll put some pictures up in a day or 2, once I get them loaded.

Tell your girl Congrats. Can't wait to see the pics.

Way to go KS, now it will be that much harder to get out and hunt with your buddys.

Can I come? Can I come?[8D][8D]
