Guy's!

Today I went hunting after I dropped the kids off at school,I got into the bush at 10.00am.I just got to my stand and you'll never guess what happened ,I'm not sure he's the buck that I have been hunting the last 2 season's but I do know that he was a good buck ,all I could see was him jumping over a downed tree and I could see the antler tip's .He blew at me twice and took off again using his all too famous exit route .This deer had good body size and I'm sure he had a good set of antler's .I never got to my stand when this happened but I was only step's away.After I left I was walking along the edge of the cornfield and again I moved deer but this time I never seen it ,I could only hear it running and bounding through the bush,this was not the same deer because the buck went in another direction. This was not bad for only hunting for a couple of hour's this morning . I figured that in the past I've come across this buck during mid day and that I would be on stand for the noon appearance that i've been so used to seeing this buck,I guess I should have got in there and sat till 1.00pm but I figured this buck never show's till after 11.00am and thought that I would be on stand in time for him to show,but I was wrong.
I'll be on stand Friday at 6.00am and I'll be there waiting for him this time hopefully he show's again .This area is pretty thick and in the past he's had it all scraped up ,so he obviously feel's safe there.I've been getting closer and closer to this buck in the last 2 year's hopefully this time I'll get him. I know that he's probably at least a 10 pointer this season since we found his shed's this spring and he was a 9 with a broken tine so he might even be a 12 this year ,I'm guessing he's probably at least a 140 class this year. I'm gonna start given it hard so that we can add some serious inch's to our score and get these other team's attention about the underdog's Team #11.

Go get him John At least you know he's in the area. I agree, its probably a good idea to get in there early. Hopefully he'll show for you.

I'll be heading out this Sat for the WV opener...so we'll see what happens. We've been seeing a few nice bucks around (not in the 140 class obviously) but nice for the area I hunt. Probably 110"ish. I'm hoping to put a tag on one this season. It's been since '97 since I've taken a buck with my bow. Passed on lots, but haven't had one I felt was big enough to drop the string on. I have a good feeling this will be the year!

GO TEAM 11!!!

Mike !

It's looking like I'm not going to get out early in the morning on Friday since my daughter needs me to take her and 2 of her friends to the education center on Fri at 9.00am and then I have to pick them up at 2.00pm.So after I drop them off I'm going to go to my hunting spot and take my climber and my gear in and get it all set up for 3.00pm and then I'll sit till 7.30 when it get's dark. Then I'm going to get out on Sun morning and evening ,I'm looking forward to taking this buck he's definetly a wall mount in my book's .Good luck to you Mike and keep in touch.I think Team #11 is going to do just fine this season, and we're going to surprise some teams this season.

Guy's where are you's ? come on let's hear some stories about your season and the critter's your seeing .I want to hear stories from all of you's .It seem's like you's have been losing a little interest .I'm sure if we get some stories going we'll generate some new inthusiasm for our season and our team member's ,so let's hear the stories guy's . I know some of you's have been visiting but not posting ,I don't care if you have anything to say, but post anyway's just to let us know you've been here .
Hi guy's I've been around to see how you's have been doing, will be just fine. The life of a Capt has been pretty boring and i need something to read LOL.

Hey John,

I liked your stories. Keep them coming. I like the fact you get out to new areas. I want to see your buck you kill. Sorry I voted against you as my senator and sorry for my no vote next month. Look at the bright side. You'll have plenty of time to hunt.

Fieldmouse!

I didn't want the job anyway's ,so you didn't hurt my feeling's by not voting for me LOL.I'm going out tommorrow night and I have a good feeling about it .I've been hunting this buck for almost 3 year's now and i think I've got his routine down pretty good ,so i know it's only a matter of time before he make's the wrong move and he'll have a MontecG5 slipping through him. By the way didn't you buy a BowTech MM this season ,if so how do you like it ?I bought the Patriot Dually this season and I hope to get it's first deer with it very soon. I didn't know deer like Punkin's ,but I've got to visit a guy down the road who has been having problem's with all the deer tearing up his pumpkin patch this season ,his son in law told me that he would like to have someone hunt his property and maybe deter these deer till after he get's the field cleared .I guess they're smashing the pumpkin's and eating the seed's from them .So hopfully Saturday I'll have permission for another piece of property .I know his area, and I know there are a lot of deer there Some great looking buck's.I was hoping that someone in this area would give me permission ,so maybe this is my break that I',ve been waiting for .

Sorry I haven't had the chance to do much posting, but I still don't have my computer back. My wife is picking it up tomorrow after she get's out of work.
I won't be posting anything for the next few days because tomorrow morning at 0800 my brother in-law and I are leaving to go up north hunting. We go to an area almost directly between Big Rapids, MI and Mt Pleasant, MI - a little town called Barryton in Mecosta County. This year we will be hunting some new property so I don't really know what the hunting will be like until tomorrow around 1300 hrs when I scout it. Anyways, it's always a good time camping out in the old canvas wall tent and of course having sitting around the compfire having a few drinks with friends. Oh yeh, I almost forgot.....three days of nothing but HUNTING! That's what I like the best. No wife or kids to worry about...just not drinking so much so I'm still able to get up and hunt the next morning. We usually always come home with deer but rarely see big bucks. It's mainly for the fun of hunting and just being around guys - you all know what I mean.

NUBO - I sure hope you get a shot at that buck you're talking about.

ALL - Come on guys...we need to register another buck so we can stop all those talking about team 11 being an underdog.

I hope you get him.

I'm not a bowtech shooter, I love the bow most avoid. I love my Oneida. I've hunted with one for over 15 years. In my mind it was the best one ever made. Since I had to replace my last one due to a house fire, I have my doubts about the new company's ownership. This new one had many problems after the first year and I question their attention to detail. If I replace it, I'm getting a stick. Kind hard to screw up there.

Good luck on your next property. Always work on getting more.
