black bear killed on Quantico
 

Man I pulled up to the Quantico game check tonight and saw a big ole black bear! Unreal! I have hunted there ten years and have never even heard of anyone shooting a bear. It was a male black bear.

Well I saw 15 turkey tonight but no deer. I will be back at it Saturday afternoon.

I figured someone might get one this year, they've been seeing more an more all over the place. Anniversary this weekend for me, no hunting! good luck Brett

Thanks buddy. I will only get an afternoon hunt in this Saturday but I hope it is drizzling rain and overcast. The weather needs to get colder and more overcast to get those bucks moving here in the next week.

I will take overcast but no rain please lol I was out Sat (already had a little bit of a cold before we went out) and I ended up sick as anything from all the dampness and cold air.

eng--just a little drizzle! :) Or ok, just some dang clouds.

Brett, just got in and saw this post do you know the area? Man that is way cool.
Hoytspeed how are you doing have you been out yet ?
Justin any word on that buck.

Doin good bush, only been out 3 times. Hopefully beginning of nov I can get more time in. How about you?

I've been seeing some deer, no bucks tho

Had a nice 7-8 point come by at 5 yards last night after the rain ended. Decided to pass him up. He was a 2.5 year old and I hope he makes it to next year!

Rick - the buck is still hanging around the same area to the right side by the county line. A friend and myself are planning on hunting the fields(the ones in the back where I saw your car parked) on Sat, unless something changes between now and then.

Justin I am going out there Thursday and Friday I might beat you to him. I have seen a few good deer down there but nothing in range. I will be with my son Thursday evening. Going to try a Buck decoy around a few scrapes I found maybe that will pull him out of some of the thick stuff. Good luck Saturday.

where are you going to be at down there? There is a chance we will be in there Friday for a afternoon bow hunt, I am not sure yet. Are you going to be over near that oak by the house? Between that area where the oak is and the county line is where he keeps getting seen at. Where are you hunting Sat?

Not sure which oak you are talking about but I will be behind the house about 200 yards or so. both days Saturday not sure yet. where are you guys go to be ? around the church property area down in the ravine ?

The oak is the one you and I talked about on the phone, I guess it is directly behind the house.

We will either be on the field itself -one of us in the finger of the field directly to the left of the island of trees in the middle and the other one all the way in the very back almost straight behind the tree island. Or one of us will be in that bottom where those three bottoms come together (like we were talking about on the phone) and one of us in the big creek bottom directly behind the fields. I am hoping they have finally cut the corn in those fields by now!!

Work Let us out early yesterday so I took a chance on going out right behind the house The only tree to us a climber in was a pine tuck back in the thick stuff had two shooting lanes. but saw nothing the wind was perfect coming from the corn field with a little swirling. Didnt use anything. No doe pee no grunting no rattling just want to see if anything would come to play. I dont no why a big buck would what to hang around that ravine any way with all the noise Dogs barking must have been 2hrs of it a few gun shoots. You would think he be gone.

Has for the corn field the front one is still standing not sure about the back ones. I did hear a truck back there but the gate was up I did not check to see if it was lock.

I am going with my son today going to try and get a good set up for the blind may use a decoy to distract what ever come in.it is really thick back there but we're going to try and make it work. Good luck

Where were the dogs barking, were they house dogs up by the houses on the hardroad or were they back toward the back. Where did the shots come from? I did not think anyone else was going to be back in the fields.. hopefully it was the farmer checking to see if he can cut. It is going to be a long walk around the entire field edge to get the back with the corn up :(

As far as the deer hagning around, if it was the hosue dogs barking then I am sure he knows that as well. I have seen deer feed within 50 yards of dogs on a chain on in a kennel barking their heads off and the deer not pay it much mind at all.

Just got back in.What a night we got there by 230 and were heading in and the woods exploded we were 10 feet from them and still could not see the deer they sure surprised the hell out of me. We left that area and went to a stand on the other side saw 4 does nothing in range for the kid. I might just have to get there at 4 in the moring and get in a tree and stay till dark.

The dogs were in the area of the trailer just before the county line. The gun shoot came from the same area but a little more back like RT625 . It sounded like someone got one on the other side of the road across from the house . one shoot and 15 minutes latter you could hear a truck coming out of the road.

How do you get in though the gate do you have a key. is there any way I can get one or we could lock locks. I am going to try and talk with the land owner for next year. dont want to be to pushy first year.

9D- I got within 25 yards of him last year. No shot
