Any N.H. hunters in here?
 

I hunted all weekend in central NH for muzzleloader opener. It was way to warm 70 on Saturday and very windy. Still prerut here but the rut should really kick in this week.

I saw three does Sunday when I decided to walk right through the middle of the swamp where they like to bed. They were right in there bedded down on grass hummocks.

Anyone else hunting NH.

I'm in NH. Got out this weekend but it wasn't very good. Had to get my buck from Thur to the butcher, hunters coming in on me, wife leaving out of town and the weather really messed me up.

What part of NH are you in?

Meredith. Up on the big lake.

Ill be hunting next week , Thur - Sat . Not far from you bpainting . I have a place in Hill just west of you . Did you see any rut activity going on while you were out last week ? or just chasing ? Good luck

I didnt see any chasing but did see srapes and rubs all over the place. I would think end of this week and all next will be prime. The weather is finally cooling off so that will help.

I have 2 friends of my buddy that scored a 9 point and 8 point that were both over 200lbs. my buddy saw a monster but could not get a shot.

Were they shot in VT or down in MA? I saw photos of a 8 & 9 pointer taken on a trip to MA. The three guys are from VT and took a first time hunrting trip down to public land and scored big time.

I still have a bear tag and my gun tag left for here in NH. I’ve got all my Vermont tags so there’s still plenty of hunting left to do.

Very nice. I only wish I had that success up here.

Jeez, the things you see surfing the net :pcwhack:

I didn't know you were on here :D Thanks for helping drag that sucker out :party0005:

I was in my stand last Sat and got down late morning when the wind kicked up. Swung by my buddy's stand about 300 yards away and told him to stay put and I would push the thickets that he was watching. I continued past his stand for approx 300 yards and was going to circle back. I ended up sneaking up on a 111 lb doe within 40 yards and dropped her on the spot. I generally have not had much luck when the winds howl but this worked out well for me. I was in unit K and now I will focus on filling my M tag.

I had to go to Ohio to fill a doe and buck tag! Nothing doing here during archery. Looking forward to taking the iron for a walk in the woods.
