RE: Official Team "Lucky 13" (13) Thread
 

KardKutter, I'm glad you are going to get some practice in before you hit the woods. I know I've only got three days practice in since getting my new string and I know I wouldn't feel very confident. Better to be sure that you're going to get a lethal shot in instead of a wounding shot.
My archery shop charged me a grand total of 99.48 for string, kisser, rest, nock points & three carbon arrows. Also included was the two hours he spent putting everything together and showing me pointers. He told me that over the last couple of years he has seen a decline in new hunters. That is sad...
Today I am going to check the StealthCam and if all is well I will get pics back in one or two days. I am very curious as to what is out there as I had one of my chickens attacked two days ago (though that may have been a hawk). The black bears go right up the path where my camera is located - hopefully they haven't ripped it apart (fingers crossed)!
Check in later.....

Hello everyone,

Jen, I just read a post of yours from last year about hitting a deers antlers. Wow does this bring back memories:(not good ones either. Two years ago I was hunting when 3 buck walking in a row snuck up behind me. I heard them coming and the deer stand is next to a big tree so I stood up took a quick peek and saw 3 bucks. I'd say a 12, 10, and 8. The biggest was in front. The deer was 5-7 yards away and I drew back on him. All I could see were antlers (big antlers). I think somthing spooked them and the deer jumped back a few yards. I saw the buck and let the arrow go....... I heard a sound......then I noticed somthing in the air. It was half of my arrow the fletched part. It landed 5 yards in the opposite dirrection I was shooting. There was no limbs in the way of my shot. I climbed down and found half the arrow and the broad head directly below where the deer was standing. So I was down an arrow, broad head, and a big trophey buck. I was so mad[:@][:@]. After this I went to check in how my cousin was doing and he had a nice size doe down. I was so frustrated that I almost didn't congratulate him on the kill.

I just put a couple more sight pins on the bow and it is read to go, I'm going to shoot a couple broad heads at 20 and 30 yards and then I might head out tomorrow. It'll be 55 degrees so they might be moving. I shot the bow 50 more times today so I think its broke-in. I'll keep everyone in touch,

KK

I'm going to post a pitcher of me with a deer this week, Wihunter did this and I think its pretty good idea.

Nice DC. Is that the one from last year?:D

Reading all my old posts KardKutter....now you know all my secrets! HA HA! Well, I have all those mistakes under my belt and I am a lot more disciplined and patient. I am ready for this season. When I think back on all my mistakes it's no wonder I never connected with a buck.
It's funny you mentioned that particular posting. I was just talking with my uncle about that the other day. He was the only person who believed my story. Everyone else just smiled and nodded but I could tell they weren't believing me. That's OK, I know what happened and that's all that matters.

DC...That was a nice buck...some day I hope to be so lucky!!! Hope you are faring well with the hurrican bearing down on you..

WI...I just noticed that I left the 402 off of your 'handle'. I apologize for that... If you want me to fix it just say the word.

The StealthCam... well, I have the feeling I got one of the duds. When I checked it again it was only reading 1. One picture, one on the counter. I rewound the film and it sounded like it rewound for more than one photo. We'll see... I put in a new roll of film and made sure that it was ready. I got good coverage over a large area. I am going to check it by making it take a picture - that darned thing better advance!

I'm anxious to hear how the earlybird seasons are panning out... Oct. 2 seems like years away...

This and the other are my last 2 season kills. As you can see I am not overly selective. Any buck closing in on 100 and better is in danger. This year I plan on holding out for atleast 120, but who knows. Let see some pics from other members

Jen - I noticed the 402 on mine and the 88 on Kurds. It does not matter to me. It looks just fine the way it is. I think everyone knows who I am. They may not want to but they do.;) As far as the camera goes I don't know what to say. I hope some pictures come out. Be sure to post them here if they do. Maybe you should be talking to your cousin about the great deal?;)

DC - I really only have the one I posted early on here with the turkey (for bow kill). This is my 3rd year getting back into bow. Last year I let my son fill the freezer and I passed up several smaller bucks (bigger then the one below) hoping they would be bigger this season. Now he has become somewhat of a smarta$$ so I will be filling some of that freezer with does and a big buck (one I gave a free pass to last year). Here is the buck I got in 02 with a gun. I only shot him because it was our first year on this property and I had missed him early in the bow season. I hit a branch and it bent the alum arrow in half. I now will only shoot carbons. I figured the 165 grain Hornaday would not bend on any branches. It didn't.:D



Let's see what else everyone has taken in the past. Gun/bow doesn't matter to me. It would just be nice to put a face with the name. If nothing else post one with your bow.

As for my other logo, I ended up as a bow only hunter in the deer gun hunting contest. Guess I have double the pressure.[&:]

Nice pics guys. It is good to put a face with a name.

Here's chubby me with my '02 doe. The red mark there is the exit hole...it was a bad shot made while the deer was moving. But it was my first deer with a bow!
My '03 doe was taken with a rifle. Don't know where the pic is. I did shoot one with the bow in archery but unfortunately was unable to recover it...long story....

Here is a pic of my buck from last year. a small one compared to everone elses. It was my 2nd buck ever. both were this size. I think that my internet service is very slow so here is a lick to a picture of me and my 2003 buck.
It was a 20 yard quartering away pass thru. He walked 10 yards, stopped and dropped, and I watched the blood pump out of him. I feild dressed him and the arrow went directly thru the heart, what a shot. I need to get some sleep, 5:00 for me tomorrow to go hit the woods. I have the bow shooting good, can't wait.
Jen, don't worry about the 88, Kardkutter88 is my AOL name because Kardkutter was taken. Just a number. (No Deer moving this morning, it was 70 at sunrise)
