Goodluck wihunter and trophyhuntr


Finally, I got some meat that wasn't just given to me. Shot a nice doe tonight. I waited to see if a buck would enter the field I was looking at, but as light was running out and fog rolling in I popped the doe. She took her time coming across I took the shot at about 175-200 yds in the shoulder. She ran nearly 100 yards away from me just so I could drag her all the way back. The gate to the field was locked and the owner wasn't home. SWEW!!! Now, I'm tired.

Went out this morning and saw 3 small does around 8am. That was it. At 11am I decided to check on some spots and I found a couple of fresh scrapes and a rub. I tried to upload some pics. but the thing wouldn't let me upload.

At least your seeing some Id be willing to bet there is a biggun in there somewhere. I went out last night shinning in the area Im going to hunt and seen 9 doe and one 6 point. I am hoping that there is some bigger ones out there. Good luck all!

Hey you Wisconsin guys, its cold up here! I just got in to Milwaukee and will be here in meetings for the next couple of days. It was in the 90's when I left Houston and in the 40's when I landed in Milwaukee; I guess I should have brought a jacket, or at least some long sleeved shirts.

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

Oh yeah it can get get cold here, actually its pretty nice right now. Wait till jan our coldest month. Stick around long enough and ya get used to it. Take it easy buddy and good luck!

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

Well guys I am sorry when I first seen this deer it was 1/4 mile away I thought it was a doe when I got there its head was behind a tree so I shot it and then find out it was a small racked 8 point that only scored 69 I have to be honest and it was my first antlered so we are on the board with a measly 69 but at least we are on, once again sorry guys!

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

good job its still a score for the team

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

Hey 1da don't be sorry about a thing. At least you got a buck. My son shot a 5 point with the rifle on Saturday. Always good to get to pull the trigger.:D

Well thanks for all the well wishes guys. I may have a little sun in the future here. My son (have I ever mentioned what a great kid he is) has offered to take me on the atv to any one of several gound blinds and set me up with my bow. Then he will leave and go hunt himself. Then if I get one he will quit and come get me otherwise he will just pick me up after dark. What a great kid. I have been taking him hunting with me since he was 2. Our first hunt was for rabbits and he couldn't walk in the heavy snow so I ended up carrying him on my back. He to this day (over 14 years later) remembers that. He said if I could carry him out hunting he will do it for me. Maybe my season will not be over quite yet. Just much shorter then I planned.

Good luck to the rest of you guys. I'll keep you posted on how it is going.

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

Wihunter I am so glad you are still with us and you do have one terrific son. Tell him thanks from all of us. Good luck on your hunting.

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

Again I'm sorry for not being in here much:( A lot of things are happening around here and so far I've been out four time this hunting. However, I'm heading off the MD this weekend and plan on doing some serious hunting:D I'm then off the VT for another week of hunting so hopefuly I can start to add something to this group other than just a name. Here's what happen to me today:D

Our muzzleloader opener was on October 30th. I had left for PA to watch the Steelers kick some butt and didn't have the chance until tonight to hit the woods. It started to rain around noon but I was ready to head out and give it a try ;) I got to the area I wanted to hunt in and started off with some rattling. After waiting about 45min. I decided to give still hunting a try on the way back towards my truck in the creek bottom.

After walking about 200yards up the creek bottom I stopped and looked to my right. About 50yards on the other side of the creek I saw a deer standing in the saplings facing straight towards me just looking at me [:-] I put up the scope but didn't see a rack. Looked at the body and thought either that's one huge doe or I'm missing the horns. Well I couldn't see the rack through all the saplings and the deer wasn't helping me out by not moving.

I found the rack and dropped the crosshairs down on his chest and squeezed off the shot :D I caught only the flicker of his tail before I was smoked out by the blast. Never really did get a good look as to which way he ran but I did have good idea. After waiting a while I crossed over and started to look where he was standing. No blood which I kinda figured on seeing I shot him head on. I didn't even see any hair, leaves or tracks kicked in the woods so I started to get scared that maybe I pulled the shot and missed. After looking for a while I decided to go downwind and start looking again with a bigger radius. As I got down below where I shot and I thought the deer ran, I started walking back and forth.

I caught wind of what I thought was tarsal gland! So I stood there for about 5 minutes trying to smell it again but never did. I decided to head straight where I thought the smell came from and within 30yards I found my buck :D

I headed back out and got my four wheeler but didn't have me GPS with me >:( I kinda got lost but made it out OK and then once I returned with the four wheeler couldn't find the deer :( Finally after 8 tenth of a mile in, in the dark and in the rain I found him. Have yet to check him in but will first thing in the morning. I'll have better pictures as well, wife took this one and she could see a thing.

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

No apology necessary was just checkin to make sure everything was ok with you and yours. Fantastic Buck and loved the story, sure glad we have you with us. Good luck and be careful out there.

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

well boys that is two on the board, i got to wake up

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

So now what? Did I have to enter this one or can I wait until my MD hunt because I plan on hunting some bucks with a lot bigger racks than this one? Or can I enter another deer from another state?

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

MK-M-GOBL I just went and reread the rules and it states that you must enter your first gun killed buck. Thats why I entered mine although I was very ashamed at it cause I thought it was a doe. We are on our honor to do this. That buck of yours puts mine to shame I would of been proud to enter that one. You may want to go up and read the rule post just to make sure!

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
 

Hey guys those are both very nice bucks. Just remember that if you decided to take him that is ALL THAT MATTERS. Be proud of your deer. Be happy you are able to be out. Right now I would like to get a shot at either of those. I don't think I will be getting out this weekend because I still can't keep the foot down. I hope to by the 13th. I guess I will just wait and see. I'll keep in touch and keep you all updated. Oh and I got my cast on today. They said everything is looking real good so far. Sounds like it should heal up and be back almost to normal. I just want the rehab to get started.

RE: Offical Team Buck Snipers (1) Thread
