ORIGINAL: BarnesX.308 SCOTT,nice buck. its nice hunting on privateland and able to pattern a nd get buck like that. deer on publicland dont seem to come to it do to pressure on them. that is what i was commenting on. when i used to go to canada hunting big bucks, they would fly us in and no one around.;) you could RATTLE in many bucks,i miss that.:( i even tried grunt call this year and i know i scared a buck away.:eek: publicland deer left are very spooky and very hard to pattern UNLESS they are coming into apples etc but then everyone knows that too.:eek: |
RE: PA BOWSEASON A BUST??
ORIGINAL: pick00l I got out to state game lands and saw a few doe. No buck however, saw two or three good areas where one was lurking. One of the areas had awesome rubs but....just never saw him. That is what bugs me the most. Knowing there is a very good buck in the area and never laying eyes on it. Since it is public land, good chance he gets taken. Never know. Maybe he will be taken by me the first time I see him! Heard from other folks who we hunt with that they saw lots of bucks but, only one legal shooter. That is not saying much but, at the same time, the monster can come out of the bush at any time. i hunted hard last year and when rain started on monday, i said, HECK WITH THIS, I AM GOING HOME. ON MY WAY TO TRUCK, I LOOKED OUT AND THERE 50 YDS FROM MY TRUCK WAS BIG BUCK I WAS AFTER IN ARCHERY. i still had to count points and sat there cleaning my scope so i could see points. it took 3 minutes before i could make out the 3rd point. i shot and he fell right down. i was home at 9 am with buck. . so, we all have LUCK a lot.;) |

Sproul, we never saw those trail cam pictures a doe being attacked by a coyote. You still trying to get the name off them?

ORIGINAL: White-tail-deer Sproul, we never saw those trail cam pictures a doe being attacked by a coyote. You still trying to get the name off them? i can mail a picture to you as its too dark ,i feel to try to e-mail it and coyote pictures are just clear enough that you can make them out after they went after the doe/fawn. i wish i would have had it set on VIDEO,i did not read up on that to much.that would have showed, i think the attack better than the pics taken every few seconds apart. i had camera set for 3 shots a minute. |

Sproulman, I think coyotes are one of the biggest predators of deer in the woods in the springtime. I have seen leftovers from newborn fawns. I think they can scent a doe ready to birth and track her. I have (here it comes) heard of yotes pulling the partial birthed fawn right out of a doe. Can't say for sure, but i have seen em' chow down on fawns. I will kill a yote anywhere and anytime I see them. I off them year round, it is the only real hard and fun hunting left. I don't care how or they got here by........

NYS trade turkeys for the yotes.
Ended up with too many so we traded some to Pa for cougars. Know its true cause a hunting preacher told me at the coffee shop. Steve |
RE: PA BOWSEASON A BUST??
Stevebny, I knowed it was you NY'ers what sent them yotes down to us! We don't worry but dem cats, as they is a headin for the Southern climes. Commonly called down there, Snow Cats! Not real well liked.

I don't care how or they got here by........ here is my secret. i take out a climbing stand and i get up only about 10 ft or so. i make sure i am above scent. this has increased the number of coyotes we get. yes, they are killing our fawns, bigtime. so are bears. |
RE: PA BOWSEASON A BUST??
We saw an absolute ton of 1.5 year old bucks this year. More than we can ever remember.
We passed on all the legal ones. A member of our party shaved hair off of a huge 8 point. We saw the largest rubbed trees in many years where we hunt. There were sightings of several monsters by residents but we didn't connect while hunting. |
