Team # 15 - Lungbusters

[eschatts]

Lungbusters, This is your official thread for the 2007 Deer Hunting Team Contest! This will be your place to meet and share stories with each other throughout the season. I wish you all the best of luck in the deer woods this fall! Have fun and shoot strait!

[bowhunter1023]

Thanks Ed.

Aaron, Butch, and Matt. Good to have you guys on board. Let's put the hammer down on the rest of these knuckleheads!

[deerhunter_matt]

Cocked, locked and ready to rock gentlemen!

[bowtech_buster]

well i aint no knuckle head and anyway you all have an old man on your team hahaha i dont think he can get his wheel chair up in that tree to kill ole freak daddy hahahaha

[bowhunter1023]

You have to have an old guy or you don't have any prespective! He already told me about hunting uphill both ways. What you need to watch for is the guy that doesn't talk much. Those are the ones that sneak up on you. We got two of them guys. And they are both in good areas.

Are weak link is old "Three deer Matt!" HAHA He is going to have a much better season this year if I have any say in it. He has a gem of a place to hunt this year too.

[deerhunter_matt]

I promise to contribute at LEAST a doe.

[bowhunter1023]

I promise to contribute at LEAST a doe.

Good. I would hate to take that bow back. My name is still on the title :mischeif:

[uncle odie]

[deerhunt45]

Hey there Lungbusters! Glad you are ready to go hunting! Should be a really great season and a fun contest. I'm already having a blast with it.

Best of luck to you all. Hunt hard and ethical and by all means be safe!

take a 2 week nap,time goes faster when you are sleeping.go ahead,i'll take care of the cameras:whistle:

[bowhunter1023]

I think we might be in for a Hoyt'n boys! HAHAHA Team 8 has been stocking up of Pedialyte and Geritol. I'm not sure if we can compete with that. :yikes:

[deerhunter_matt]

Jesse, how did the scoutin go? I saw one doe, walked a few new paths but saw no rubs, I need at least another scouting trip before i make a final decision. I am leanin towards a spot I have used in the past. Little oak flat in a creek bottom with lots of acorns on the ground. Should be a good season, that;s for sure.

[bowhunter1023]

The property is not as good as I expected. It is littered with stripper wells and lease roads which makes access nice. But it is super thick, and I had a real problem locating a food source. There were a few postives in a 10 acre thicket that is basically inpenatrable and a large portion of the big right-of-way is 7-8 foot tall white pines. So I found some good bedding. I need to go back when the leaves are down. I found a few good trails and a rub or two, but nothing to get excited about. Just yet...

[deerhunter_matt]

Takes some boot leather is all, right bud?

[bowhunter1023]

Takes some boot leather is all, right bud?

I wore some out. But I had a 17, 15, a 13 year kid with me. I wasn't gettin' much done beside baby sitting. I need to go back when I can focus. That's why I figured I would wait for the leaves to drop. I can spend a day stalking and scouting.

[deerhunter_matt]

Dude, I am right there with ya. I had the wife with me and it would have been mean of me to drag her through some of the thicker stuff that I wanted to make it through. Hopefully I can make it some time before the opener, but i doubt I will.

Man, the doe I saw was well within gun range, and I had the wind in my face and there was a depression big enough for me to walk upright in. Would not have been hard at all to put on a stalk to within bow range. Not hard at all... I am gettin the jitters...

[bowhunter1023]

Its gonna be here before we know it. I have a real good feeling about opening weekend if the weather coopperates. I will be in that buddy stand all weekend hunting or filming. I can hunt it on just about any wind but something Northernly. I built that wind row so they couldn't get down wind. They have to walk in front of the stand. I hope Jr. Plaid can go out but the local fair is that weekend and he will have to show and sell Saturday. I may hold off Saturday if he is going to be able to go Sunday. 14 yard chip shot. I think he can make that...

[uncle odie]

picked up 2 of my cameras i had out today,camera where Freak Daddy hangs out,the darn battery went low and no pics after the 12th:mad: but 2 old scrapes in same area (both within 20 yds of my stand) were opened up.also the other camera has a 10 pt on it i've not seen before:bouncy: looks good in Highland co.i will check the other 4 cameras about Wed.will keep posted if interested.

[swantucky]

You ladies are screwed!! Team 2 just picked me up in the late preseason draft. Jessy start practicing bowing your head in shame now, it will come in handy in Feb.:whistle: :whistle:

[Buckmaster]

I've never heard of any Lungbusters, but I did run into "Busty Heart" once with her pair of 100 ZZZ's. :yikes:

[bowhunter1023]

You ladies are screwed!! Team 2 just picked me up in the late preseason draft. Jessy start practicing bowing your head in shame now, it will come in handy in Feb.:whistle: :whistle:

The only way I will hang my head in shame is if you take a picture in those wadders you wear all the time. At that point I will have to bow my head in shame of being involved in the same contest as a cow poacher as you. :nono:

[uncle odie]

hhmmm:confused:

[deerhunt45]

Wow. I been reading other teams threads...seems to be a lot of smack talkin off the beatin path of the smack talk thread. Guilty!!!

This is the Lungbusters official Team thread. Feel free to take it back guys ;) :D :)

[uncle odie]

i cant talk it,but i like ta read it:bouncy:

[bowhunter1023]

I'm taking it back! :Modified_police:



:biggrin:

[swantucky]

I'm taking it back! :Modified_police:



:biggrin:
Jessie all you are takin' back is a quiverfull of unshot arrows!! :tsk: :chicken: :rant:

[bowhunter1023]

Jesse all you are takin' back is a quiverfull of unshot arrows!! :tsk: :chicken: :rant:

I'm gonna take back that tutu and get a fairy costume for you. I think that would be a little more fitting :D

[bowhunter1023]

You boys are too quiet. I hope your ready to rock. Uncle Odie is going to put us so far ahead of the rest of the losers when he knocks down that Freak Daddy opening weekend, those suckers will be smelling our farts all season long :D

[hunTer06]

[Big H]

Odie, have you gotten any pics out of velvet with that drop tine buck? What an awesome buck, too bad you can't check in pictures. ;)

[bowhunter1023]

Odie... My old lady wants to know where you live? She threatened to take her bow back from my cousin after seeing those pics! You definitely had her attention. Just remember, there is no I in TEAM ;) LOL :D

[deerhunt45]

Is this the Freak Daddy buck? Wow still in velvet but coat is changing.
Awesome creature.

[Big H]

Ummmm 45. check the date.

[deerhunt45]

Ummmm 45. check the date.

Yeah that. Dang pic is so big I missed the date :coco:

He will be a majestic buck next year!

[Big H]

Yeah that. Dang pic is so big I missed the date :coco:

He will be a majestic buck next year!


He probably will be, it is apparant that he has left and gone to greener pastures. I don't think he could handle that big 10 from odies first pic in a fight. Probably got run off to the neighboring farm. :tsk:

[uncle odie]

the last pics i got of Freak Daddy,(which was Sept 8)he was loosing his velvet.last session on cameras the battery died.will be picking cameras up again Wed or Thurs.for the last 2 mo.he has came in the 4th even after a full moon,and guess what 9-30-07 is???hoping he holds his last 2 mo. routine

[uncle odie]

Odie... My old lady wants to know where you live? She threatened to take her bow back from my cousin after seeing those pics! You definitely had her attention. Just remember, there is no I in TEAM ;) LOL :D

[uncle odie]

what do you guys think that first buck will score??

[Big H]

what do you guys think that first buck will score??

Mid 140's would be my guess.

[uncle odie]

i was thinkin 150 at the most

[bowhunter1023]

Odie I hope you got a strong back buddy, you are going to have to carry us! I think that freak nasty will do a real good job of that. I sure hope you or Jr. get the hammer on that thing.

[uncle odie]

[bowhunter1023]

Now good shooters on my cameras for 3 months! And less than 48 hours to first light, I get the guy I am after on camera by the stand I will be in Saturday morning! I am so freaking pumped!!!

[uncle odie]

[deerhunter_matt]

I didn't go out, probably won't get a chance until next weekend. But I do know that Jesse has the Lungbusters on the board! He put the hurtin on a chipmunk in the A.M. and a big fat doe in the evening. Congrats buddy, let's see some pics!

[aholdren]

Congrats Jessie on the big doe. How about a rundown on the hunt details.

[bowhunter1023]

I'll make a post in the bowhunting section about my weekend. I always do an opening day narrative of sorts. Look for it in there...

[uncle odie]

[deerhunter_matt]

Good luck Odie. I haven't had a chance to go out yet. I am hoping to make it to some woods some time this week, but if not, latest will be Sunday morning.

[bowhunter1023]

Busted a nice 8 I had yet to see going to hang a camera last night. Bad part was I debating on hunting the stand that was within bow range of the buck and camera the whole way home. I elected to stop and let the dog play in the river instead. I knew I should have been in that stand...

[uncle odie]

anyone go out this morning? got in stand at 0630,out at 1100,saw nothing but tree rats.going to wait for a few degrees cool down.suspose to be a little cooler here Tues

So how many points for ground hogs? I put a fat one away last night at the inlaws house. Went out yesterday mornin, saw nothin. Just too dang hot. I will be out all weekend this coming weekend though. With luck, lungbusters will be up a few points.

[deerhunter_matt]

I got a good feeling about this weekend, gentlemen. Weather is gonna cooperate quite nicely, that's for sure.

[deerhunter_matt]

Man, with this cold front moving in, and a new moon coming around Wednesday/Thursday, I have a feeling a lot of deer are gonna be interacting with some cold steel this weekend.

[uncle odie]

I got a good feeling about this weekend, gentlemen. Weather is gonna cooperate quite nicely, that's for sure.

looks like a nice weekend comming,gonna cool down.going to make a new set up tomorrow for this weekend.good luck to you guys and keep everyone posted.

[bowhunter1023]

I'll be out tomorrow, but don't expect much. I ain't shooting unless its Deuce. Hold down the fort while I'm gone. I expect to be in the lead when I return :D

[OhioHunter88]

[aholdren]

:o Your killing me!!!

[aholdren]

What do ya think the age is?

[uncle odie]

What do ya think the age is?

i'm gonna guess about 6-7,i know he has been there for 4 years.we just never hunted him.i didn't start to bowhunt again until last year and i killed a nice 11pt 1st day out.(during rut and he was chasin a doe) after that i didn't get the opertunity to hunt him,but the chase is on this year.i went out this evening,saw him at 6:20 at about 80 yds,i should have grunted him,but i didn't:rant: hopefully the next pic of him,he will have a temp tag on him:bouncy:

[uncle odie]

Jessie,you say your getting more pics of Deuce?good deal,we get em knocked down and Aaron and Matt connects on their big bucks,we will be sittin in good shape.good luck on him Jessie and good luck to you Aaron and Matt.keep us posted

[deerhunter_matt]

Well fellers, sat in my sand alll day today. That's right, 12 hours. (got nothin better to do, waht would yu do???) I been jumpin deer left and right walkin in and out. Had a doe feeding on the ridge above me this morn, she never came down the hill though. Nothing else all day, then about 20 minutes before quittin time, I had a buck walk in on me, real tall fork horn 4 pt. Presented me a nice 30 yd. shot, but then I saw his buddy comin in. Real nice lookin 8-point. I would guess 120-130. Well, he slunked around, didn't present me too much of a shot, then I found an opening. Zing, right over his back.... I used my 30 yd. pin when he was actually at about 20 yds... DAMMIT!!!!!!!!! They were both gone after a bit of snortin and tail flaggin... I keep replaying it in my head... I ain't gonna sleep tonight... BUt I'll be back at it in the a.m. Looking to at least get a doe tomorrow.

keep on pluggin away Matt,and yes,12 hrs is a long time in a tree stand,haven't done that much time in one since my bear hunting days,and thats been awhile.good luck to ya.hope ya get another shot at him tomorrow

[deerhunter_matt]

The 12-hour days aren't so bad in my summit climber. I been in a ladder stand before, and I could barely do 4 hours. This thing is like a lounge chair, I shoulda just stayed the night out there!

[uncle odie]

set up a new stand on the big boy today,gonna leave him alone for a few days.didn't like the other stand,he's walking too close for an awful steep shot,i don't like to shoot that close,less chance for a double lung and sure would hate to poke a hole in him and not find em:yikes: went over to the other side of the farm for a doe this evening.grunted in a short tined 10,prob somewhere around 110-120.he messed around for 10-15 mins and about time to leave,a doe and two young deer walked in,wasen't enough lite to shoot,so i waited about 20 mins after they left and got down--end of story for today--:D

[bowtech_buster]

hey uncle odie did you get out this evening if so did you see anything?? and did you like how we got your new stand?i'm gonna try and make it out tomorrow and sit the corn field. did you pick up the cams today??well see ya

[uncle odie]

didn't get out last evening,gonna start tomorrow evening (fri).let it settle down 1 more day and the hunts on:mischeif: gonna go get the cameras this afternoon,will let ya know what i see.

[deerhunter_matt]

Headin' out tomorrow evening gentlemen. Weather looks clear, but it also looks a bit warm. I am not really anticipating too much luck, but you can't shoot em from the couch, can you? I am probably going to go out around ten and see if I can put a stalk on with the wet ground, then up in a stand for the afternoon and evening. Here's to hopin' that buck decides to come back in again. I won't make the same mistake twice, that's for sure! Good luck gentlemen!

[uncle odie]

going out here in a few mins.just smoked my camos and boots up and going to give it a try.your right Matt,ya can't shoot em from the couch.kinda windy here,but going anyway.good luck to you guys.chat with ya later.

[uncle odie]

saw nothing but tree rats and 4 turkeys.think it was too windy.gonna give er another try in the morn.

[Lucky]

Could you smell the smoke off your clothes tonight? Just curious if it is overbearing.

[bowtech_buster]

hey i could smell his azz clear across the holler.:D .lol not really it impressed me but i may add i saw 3 bucks at 10 yards using my scentblocker outfit and he got skunked:irked: ..lol hahaha

[uncle odie]

not realy overbearing,but you def want to take a shower when you get in.didn't see any deer,but was realy windy.gonna go back out here in a few mins.good luck to ya Lucky.

[uncle odie]

hunted this morn and evening,had 6 slickheads in this morn,and 7 in this evening,all within 10 yds.don't want to shoot there because of the big boy.go buck huntin and you gotta kick does out of the way,go out to shoot a doe and see bucks.btw,i used my new scent smoker today,i realy convinced.

[deerhunter_matt]

Chalk another one up for us guys! Took this doe tonight at 30 yards, I am gonna post the story in bowhunting, since this is my first compound kill.

[swantucky]

Congrats agian Matt:coolgleamA:

[uncle odie]

Congrats to ya Matt,nice doe.have ya got a big booner located?again,good job on the doe.i'm getting ready to head for the tree in a few mins.

[deerhunter_matt]

Tucky, thanks buddy!

Odie, I haev seen a few nice bucks on this area I hunt, so I think come rut, I will be ready to go. I took this doe with an antlerless, and I am holding out for a buck with my regular tag.

[uncle odie]

good deal Matt.i think the boss bucks are laid back storing up energy for rut.i have't seen any big one for a few days.got plenty of does in the area,so it will get interesting in about a week and a half.good luck to ya and keep posting.haven't heard from other 2 team mates latley.

[deerhunter_matt]

Jesse shot another doe, if ya didn't see. You and aholdren better start pullin your weight, haha! Nah, just kidding. I am lookin for a buck to stick now, so with luck, within the next two weeks, we will be up some more points. Go get em odie!

[bowhunter1023]

This thing is well within our reach. I think it will take four does and at least two good bucks to win this puppy. I know if me and Odie score on our targets, and Matt gets lucky, all Holdren has to doe is pop something and I doubt we can be touched.

[deerhunter_matt]

By lucky you mean not missing on a nice buck again, right?

[bowhunter1023]

By lucky you mean not missing on a nice buck again, right?

Something like that...

More like being the right place at the right time. You got on the board. The next buck is done for.

[deerhunter_matt]

Yep, did I tell you I had a buck on Saturday I was almost able to put a stalk on? He was at the bottom of the hill that goes into the property, and he never had a clue I was there. There was plenty of available terrain that would have put me in range, but he had just stopped to eat a little and was just passing through. I am gonna start doing some rattling and laying the scent on thick now.

[uncle odie]

i think the buck activity will start up in the next few days.i think the boss bucks laying back storing energy for upcomming rut.haven't seen the big boy in a few days,but i know he is still there.had plenty of does in,but just can't bring myself to bloody up the area just yet with a doe.you guys my think that sounds greedy,but this buck needs to be downed.has been around for four years that i know of.bout next week i'll be shootin. congrats on your 2nd doe Jessie,you guys keep up the good shootin,i will catch up.

[deerhunter_matt]

Odie, I ain't worried about you. Besides, you have had plenty of successful hunts, haven't you? I mean, look at your sig, "a sure kill shot passed is a successful hunt"

[bowtech_buster]

uncle odie almost lost his chance for you guys before it got going good...lol... i had ole droptine at 40 yards tonight and if it wernt for the pourin rain he'd have been done. 5 more yards closer and i'd have had to try him. he dogged does all evening i watched him for about 40 min chase does out in a field before he finaly came down he edge and into the oak thicket that i was in.lol i was about as nervous as i have ever been when i seen him coming my way and that unmistakeable golfclub droptine.lol but i really wold have felt bad fr uncle odie if i shot him cause he's got his heart set on him..thats just to big a deer to let go by you though..good luck

[uncle odie]

yes i have Matt,but i'll GET ER DONE!!:mischeif: providing buster don't shoot my darn buck:tsk: :Modified_police: :Protest_emoticon: :nono:

[bowtech_buster]

lol.... i'm staying out of that stand for a while cause i'd hate to shoot him really:16suspect1:

[uncle odie]

i,ll just try to shoot him while your up north:D for you may not be back for a couple weeks:whistle: :evilsmile:

[bowtech_buster]

lol...i could only hope:tsk: :tsk:

[deerhunter_matt]

Headin out for another all-dayer boys, see yall tomorrow evening, good luck out there!

[uncle odie]

luck to ya Matt,i gotta go to 2 of my grandchildrens soccer games tomorrow.starting sun,going to get hard at it.BTW,bought a new compound bow,been shooting it,wrist comming around rather nicely.maybe in a couple more weeks i can hang up the x-bow.

[aholdren]

Got out for the first time this evening and as I was getting in my climber I noticed another hunter sneaking in along the property line. I got his attention and spoke with him and confirmed he had gotten permission from the land owner. So needless to say that ruined my evening, did not see anything let alone picked up some more competition cause he is hunting with two buddies. Guess I'll have to either work something out with the land owner or find a new place to hunt, not too many places to get.

THAT SUCKS:nono: i hate it when prop owners gives permission to everyone and his brother.i'm sorry about your situation,maybe you can work it out where he hunts an area and you hunt another area of the prop.good luck on getting it straightened out.

[aholdren]

Thanks odie, the good thing is I got permission to hunt this prop. @ 6 years ago and have taken a nice 10 and a decent 9 point, and between me and my mom we've taken about 9 long beards, the best was a 21 1/2#, 11 inch beard, 1 1/2 inch spurs she got 4 years ago. I am thinking about asking him to consider leasing me the hunting rights next year, since he has already granted rights for this year. Last year I started hearing some horn rattling close to the prop. line during prime rut, I guess that should have been my first clue that my honey hole was starting to get competitive. I guess it goes to show where there is deer their is going to be a few bow hunters.

[deerhunter_matt]

Goin out this afternoon boys. Gonna see if I can get some horn on our board.

[deerhunter_matt]

Pretty quiet guys, yall tracking your dead booners? I had a deer come in under my stand last night after shooting light. I spit to see what it would do and it thought it was acorns! Finally had to hiss to get the thing to go away! Just a little yearling... Momma didn't come back after I had scared her earlier.

[uncle odie]

went out this morn.sit in stand until aprox 1145,had a 6 pt in about 1030.didn't see another deer.tried a little decoying this evening,saw 4 slickheads about 200yds in the bean field,nothing else.anybody got bucks chasin does where you are hunting?not happening here yet.

[bowhunter1023]

Slow here too. We need some points boys!!!

[uncle odie]

how ya doing on Deuce? don't know if Freak Daddy is still around.neighbor sez someone shooting high power rifle in corn field (already been shelled) next to her about 1130pm Sat nite.put out more cameras yesterday to try to catch him on pic.hope no sorry azz poacher shot him,or any other one as fas as that goes .:tsk: i think poaching should be a mandatory prison term:evilsmile: .gonna try to take a doe tonite,but you know how that goes.ya want one,ya can't find em,buck hunt,ya gotta kickem out of the way. good luck to you guys.

[bowhunter1023]

I have a bearing on Deuce. It gets better everyday. But you know how it is. You think you have them figured out and it turns out you didn't know squat. I hope the next three days are good to me. I'm shooting anything I feel is close to BBBC even if it ain't Deuce. I will pattern him in muzzleloader if he is still around for the old lady. We'll see though...

[aholdren]

Was out most of the day yesterday. Saw nothing in the morn but 6 does and two young turkeys in the evening, no chasing seen yet. Should be able to hunt tom. at my dads. Hopefully things are hot up there.

[uncle odie]

:yeahthat: Jessie.same here.at least you are seeing deer Aaron,haven't seen anything here to speak of here.i think things will heat up in the next couple of days.good luck to you guys

[deerhunter_matt]

I will be out tomorrow boys. Jesse is huntin deuce as we speak, and he will be doing so all weekend or until he gets him, so wish him luck.

[uncle odie]

hello,anybody here??? going to move a stand tomorrow,move it on back into the mature timber a little deeper,try to catch them chasin.gotta couple of other stands we're going to hunt tomorrow.their are both in productive areas.the one stand is the same place i shot the 11pt last year and the other stand has had 2 real nice bucks taken from that area. one was a 153 and the other was a 159.my brother-in-law from Columbus took one in 2003 and the other in 2005. so much for my bull,any you guys seeing any good deer?

[deerhunter_matt]

I have only seen the one good deer I missed, but that is it. Nothing doing this past weekend as far as chasing, but hopefully it will be hot this weekend. With the time change, I probably won't be able to get out anymore during the week, but this weekend should be pretty good. I am heading down to Jesse's Friday to hunt Saturday, possibly Sunday. I have Monday off, so I am probably gonna do one of my marathon sits if I haven't shot a buck by then. We are just that sleeper team, we came out strong at the start, now we are relaxing and waiting in the wind to pounce. I predict horn this week boys!

[bowhunter1023]

I have made the decision that I can be a dumbass and chase a buck I may never see and eat tag soup, or shoot what will satisfy my original goal of getting my first P&Y deer. I would rather fill my tag and not get Deuce than eat tag soup. Just can't take it again. So I got four days coming up to Git-R-Done. I'm leaving now to move a stand so I am ready to sit all day Friday. Let's get after 'em boys...

[uncle odie]

:yeahthat: guys.going to hit er hard starting tomorrow morn.i'm with you Jess,a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.i'm gonna shot the first shooter that gives me a shot.i think the jerk that was messing with our stands ran my big buck out. when i was on stand sun morn i gave a couple sessions of soft grunts about 45 mins apart,and each time i was answered by a can down by the thicket at the edge of the pasture where Freak Daddy bedded. haven't seen the buck for about 2 weeks now. i think this guy was sneaking in there and hunting from the ground,prob just to screw me up. i know him and he has had fair warning at this time.well good luck to you guys and be safe.

[uncle odie]

went out this morn,on stand 5 and half hrs.saw 3 bucks,1 non shooter,1 border line,and 1 real nice one,of course no shots.on stand this evening,saw 1 buck,no shot.was going to shoot a doe,but i didn,t see one all day,until buster showed me his dead one.going into a new stand in am,maybe my luck will change.i guess thats what i get for passing does earlier in season.i'm trying my best guys:(

[deerhunter_matt]

Well boys, as we speak Jesse is waiting to fly an arrow outta his Mathews and into the lungs of ol' Deuce. Then after that, I will be heading down tonight to stick one in big ol' Porky tomorrow. Good luck Jesse, and good luck to everyone else.

[uncle odie]

spent 6 hr on stand fri morn, saw a spike chasin a young doe and nothing else,yesterday was 10 hr on stand morn and evening,saw a doe in am and a little buck and a doe with 2 youngans in pm.the old doe came in behind me and of course no shot.nothing chasin here,where i was sittin i could see aprox 10 ac of mature woods,but no deer.hope it gets better soon.

[uncle odie]

is everyone mad,asleep,or just don't want to talk??:confused: i thought this was suspose to be fun.i know everyone is fusterated about the rut,but i still think it will come.ya know i bought a new compound a couple weeks ago,well i've been shooting it,and i have enough confidence in it now,so i think i'm gonna hang up the x-bow and use the new bow.maybe this will change my luck:idea: .chin up guys,when i was your age,the deer herd was so small,if i even saw a buck,i was happy!

[deerhunt45]

That's it odie, talk to these younguns :whistle: I'm spending a lot of time in the woods this year and having a blast even though no kills yet! That's what it's all about guys. Life (and hunting) is a journey that hopefully never ends :D.

I enjoyed the thread about the 70 year old gentleman who shot that nice Ohio buck this season. I'm only 52. Gives me hope for the future! An aside, did anyone else notice the boots he was wearin :confused: ;) :D

Good luck Lungbusters and have fun :)

thanks 45,yes i saw that about the older gentleman that shot that buck,shoot i just hope i'm still alive.i've probably logged more hrs in a stand this year then i have for a long time,but i am enjoying every min of it.this is the 1st year i have realy bowhunted for 8 yrs due to wrist and shoulder problems.but buster rode me hard and encouraged me enough that i got with it, and like you,enjoying every min of it. so sometimes it takes the older to encourage the younger and visa-versa.good luck to ya 45,and be safe.

[aholdren]

Sorry odie, been working and hunting when I don't have to work. A week ago friday was my opportunity to help the team out, had an 8 point at 10 yards broadside at fulldraw and noticed I couldn't see my pin cause my peep was sideways in the string. He had a 16 or 17 inch spread with 6 to 8 inch tines. Oh well that might be my only chance. Saw an 8 pointer tonite with his nose down and on the move. I have to work nites this week and will try to get out Wendsday and Thursday morning for a few hours. I have yet to see a hot doe, should be any day, so hopefully I'll get my chance.

[uncle odie]

good deal aaron,but sorry you didn't get the shot.i realy respect you for not letting greed take over and taking a bad shot and maybe not finding your animal.won't be your last chance.seems alot of us are having a hard time connecting,but i personaly am enjoying the opertunity to be out in the woods.keep up the good work and good luck:bouncy:

[uncle odie]

dang,everyones keyboards mut be broken,or their spirits:confused:

[uncle odie]

had something happen to me fri morn that has never happened before.was in my stand and aprox 0815 a mature doe came running from my right.ran right under my stand and kinda stood there.meanwhile i was watching this 8pt across the fence about 60-70 yds.he heard the doe running,so he decided to come and have a look see or whatever was on his mind:bouncy:.he was walking over looking at the doe,i was watching him and the doe was watching me.he got within 25yds broadside,i looked at the doe out of the corner of my eye,she was looking at him,so i drew the bow,set the pin behind the shoulder,and i swear she had ESP,cause as soon as i started to let fly,she made this strange little snort,he dropped to his knees about as low to the ground as he could get without laying down,course the arrow flew about 2" over his back right on the mark.she ran about 10 yds,looked at me as to say ha ha ha,gotcha ahole.well i thought to myself,there has got to bea reason i missed that buck,next morning out of the same stand i saw Freak Daddy chasin 2 does,but no shot.so team mates,i'm damn sure tryin. i hunted everyday last week but one.not hunting today because of prior commitments.i just got the idea no one is posting because everyone thinks the oldman gave up,but i have spent countless hrs in my stand,sometimes its a chore getting their,but i hunt and i hunt hard.

[deerhunter_matt]

Just hittin it hard, is all Odie. Still gots plenty of season left.

[uncle odie]

16 points if anyone interested!!:rolleyes:

[bowhunter1023]

I am! Way to go Odie. We are back on track. I think first is out of reach. But a respectable finish is good enough for me. Congrats Odie. What a deer!!!

[uncle odie]

I am! Way to go Odie. We are back on track. I think first is out of reach. But a respectable finish is good enough for me. Congrats Odie. What a deer!!!

thanks again Jessie.first my be outa reach,but i for one have realy enjoyed this season.i think being retired takes alot of pressure off,due to being able to hunt whenever and however long you want.after gun season i'm gonna go back out to get my other 5pts that i have passed numerous times.heard anything from Matt or Aaron?must be hittin it hard.good luck on the big boy!

[bowhunter1023]

Haven't heard much from Matt or Aaron. I know Matt is gonna gun hunt, as will I. I can't handle tag soup again, so I'm gonna do what I have to do. I hope I just see some bucks and get the information I need to do it with a bow come the late season. I like hunting in January. You just never know...

stay at it!!with your knowledge and determination and the ability to hit vitals,no tag soup,afterall,who are we????THE LUNGBUSTERS:woohoo1: :woohoo1:

[bowhunter1023]

I'm leaving at lunch to hang a stand for tomorrow. I have a spot that I can cover the intersection of both our big hollers. I can shoot three shelves, cover two bedding areas, and shoot 200 yards in three directions. I wil have to be on the alert, but I can cover a lot of ground. I am thinking about taking the bow tonight and trying some stalking. Perfect conditions for it.

[deerhunter_matt]

Well boys, took a doe with the ol' slugger yesterday. I'm not sure if I am gonna be goin out anymore this season, but who knows. Sorry if I mess anything up...

Yesterday was miserable, by the way...

[uncle odie]

ya didn't mess anything up Matt.good deal on the doe.i haven't even been out gunnin yet.might take the ol encore out about sat,don't know yet.kinda feels good to take a break after all the hrs sitting bowhunting.gonna try to take a doe with my bow after the slugs stop flyin,then i would like to take one during ml season if not before,after that its yotes.congrats on the doe Matt.

[deerhunter_matt]

Thanks odie, congrats on Freak Daddy too! That thing is a beast! I can't wait to see pics of the full body mount! I might be out later in the season, but I am not sure yet. We will see.

[uncle odie]

ol Freak Daddy put up one heck of a battle.he moved on me 2 times,but i got lucky and found him again.had a 40 yd shot at him a week ago,but i thought it was beyond my limit since i just started shooting a compound again about 3 wks ago.so i bit my lip,said a few choice words under my breath,and let him walk. we may not take 1st,but i can say that i have enjoyed huntin with you guys.i know its not over yet,lots of time left,so i'm going after my other 5 pts.post your thoughts and lets see this thing thru.later guys and good luck:bouncy:

[deerhunt45]

I'm definitely jealous odie ;) :D I still haven't taken a shot. Not giving up though, there's plenty of season left and you inspired me brother :) I think I may be able to surprise some people yet this year. It is going to be tougher hunting especially with colder temps but I will be getting back out after gun season. Hope some of the big bucks that were holed up in the corn on the neighbor's property (which just came off this past Sunday) survive gun season. Good luck on your doe!

45 :coolgleamA:

thanks 45!! i didn't know i ever inspired anyone,but i sure will accept the compliment:) never count us older folks out,we may have a few more years on us but that is also a few more years of experience and knowledge.it may be tougher,but when the going gets tough,the tough gets going.just hang in there,it will happen.if i can do it,anyone can do it.GOOD LUCK to ya,and keep me posted.:bouncy:

[uncle odie]

Jessie,Matt,Aaron,any of you guys do any good gunnin? took my nephew out a couple of times and went out with my grandson.my nephew got some shots,but couldn't make it happen (1st deer jitters) my grandson and me passed on 10 the evening we were out.he has killed six with a gun, but he wants this one with a bow.he's been after it pretty hard.i'm gonna get back after my doe in about a week.luck to you guys

[aholdren]

First of all, a BIG congrats on the closing of THE FINAL CHAPTER on a best selling hunting book of "Odie's 2007 monster of a dream come true." As for myself I just got back from a week with the kids and wife at Walt Disney World. It was probably as enjoyable as your day with Freak Daddy, totally awesome. First off you are a total inspiration to me, for when I retire in 20+years that I will still climb that tree stand and have the drive and desire to persue the dream that you just made a reality. Just a couple of questions. How far was the shot? What broadheads and bow did ya use? Its been a real joy getting to know ya Odie. I won't do any bang bang hunting but hope to still do some late season bow hunts. :) :) :) :yikes:

[bowhunter1023]

I was able to help out a buddy by getting him some meat, and I was able to get me a monster doe for jerkey. The first doe I shot at 7:35 or so Friday morning. I think my Dad busted her out coming in late. She ran across a saddle on the neighbors and was running to my sanctuary. I stopped her just inside the property line at 100 yards and dropped her right there. The second doe I shot at my parents house later that afternoon. She was one of eight deer that got busted out of the neighbors field. The button buck was shot by a buddy of mine. It was his first deer, but he didn't want his mug on the internet. That is the biggest doe I have ever shot. I thought she might be pregnant when I saw her. Dressed at 150lbs. Should get me a ton of jerkey.

[uncle odie]

Jessie,are you sure that is not a hornles buck?that thing is huge!! congrats to you on them and enjoy your jerky.Aaron,thanks for the compliments,i realy appreciate that. i hunted him hard,spent alot of hrs on stand,passed up bucks for him. i shot at a nice 8pt,but fortunitly for me,i missed him.the shot was 22yds,he ran 40yds,and i was using 100gr Razorcap.i bought a Martin Bengal about a month ago,haven't shot a compound for a few yrs due to shoulder and wrist problems.i practiced for a couple of weeks,grouped good inside 30 yds and thought what the heck.hung up the xbow and used the compound.this has been a very good season for me,hunted with a young pup called bowtech_buster,very gung-ho hunter,met alot of good sportsmen on this web,and enjoyed this hunt with you guys(which by the way inspired me to keep after him,didn't want to let you guys down,so thank you to my teammates and a special thanks to buster) going after my other 5 pts in about a week.good luck to those whom are still hunting.thanks again guys

[uncle odie]

Teammates,any of you going back out after this weekend? i'm going back to the woods after the gun season is over.gonna put some cameras back out to see what made it thru gun season. i need to get back out and do some serious doe hunting. good luck to you guys and i hope to post a doe soon.

[bowhunter1023]

I have cameras out right now, and I will be running them hard for a month or so to see what I have going for me. I have a good spot picked out for this weekend. I am only hunting for myself Saturday morning, so I got to make it count. After that, its all about Tracie. I plan on bowhunting hard the last three weeks of January. I'm still hoping...

[uncle odie]

good deal and good luck to you.i was out in the garage changing the oil in my old truck this evening and had 2 old does and 3 fawns walk within 30 yds of the garage.guess i'm gonna start takin my bow with me. ha ha! anyway, keep us posted Jessie.

[deerhunter_matt]

I will be out with gun this Saturday in the morning. Solely going for horns now. If I don't drop one this weekend, I will be out again later with the bow. Good luck to yall!

[uncle odie]

only got to muzzy hunt yesterday evening. aprox 4pm someone over in the woods next to my property shot,and a couple of minutes later this real nice buck came trotting out. he ran thru a gap in the fence toward me, i grunted him and he stopped aprox 25yds broadside and stood there for about a min.he is a real nice 10,i'd say mid 140's to 150.anyway he trotted over to this little thicket by my pond and layed down. i gave him a wide berth on the way in as not to spook him. when i got to the front porch i glassed him and he was still there. saw 2 other bucks (small 6's) and 3 does,which were too far for the taking.so its back to the bowhunting.any of you guys do any good?

[deerhunter_matt]

Well boys, I'll be goin out on Saturday for my first time since the extra gun weekend, believe it or not! It was a bad break, what with the car bein messed up and all, but I will be hittin most of the day. CAN'T WAIT!!!!

[uncle odie]

good luck to ya Matt. i will prob go out after the weekend,been busy down at the taxidermist shop trying to get ahead.been seeing alot of slickheads latley. had 12 in the backyard the other day. haven't heard from Aaron for awhile and Jessie is chasin Deuce.good luck Matt and keep us posted on you outings.

[deerhunter_matt]

No luck boys. It was a good day to be out, though. Weather was beautiful. I was set up near a stream, though, so it was a bit noisy and I couldn't really hear the rest of the noise. I know Jesse is witholding an extra 5 pts cause he is still holdin out for ol' deuce.

[bowhunter1023]

I'm just going through the motions at this point fellas. I'm beat. I'm not quitin', but I am read for the off season. I was out four times last week. Only saw deer once. Sat in the rain twice. Is it over yet?

[deerhunter_matt]

I am just waiting for the excuse so I can come down and kill those two annoying rabbits you got... A good excuse would be the end of the deer season, bunnies are open til Feb. 28th.

[uncle odie]

down to the sort hairs guys,not much time left.i haven't been out in quit awhile.i set up a blind in a good location about 2 weeks ago,haven't hunted it yet,also got a couple of stands in good locations.i'm gonna hunt the next few days to try to bag a doe for the freezer as bad as i hate to kill a pregnant doe.Jessie,you still chasin Deuce? time is about up guys,but i want you to know that i have had a lot of fun with this little contest,and it has been a pleasure hunting with you guys and getting to know you.looking forward to next season.

[deerhunter_matt]

I think I got one more day left on Sunday, gents. It has been fun, and by far my most successful and rewarding season yet, even if I didn't bag any horns. More story to come after Sunday.

[bowhunter1023]

I am just going through the motions at this point. I inadvertantly switched to protection mode and have been avoiding my farm. I really believe he is not moving at all during daylight right now. He knows I am after him. Even the does are moving after dark in the area where he is. I just can't get close enough to their bedding.

It was a fun time for sure. And it looks like Tucky will be wearing a tutu in the near future! :D

[swantucky]

It was a fun time for sure. And it looks like Tucky will be wearing a tutu in the near future! :D
It ain't over yet:whistle:

[HeartLunger]

I joined OS after the contest had already started. How does it work? Were teams assigned or did you pick them? When does everything begin for the next deer season?

There is a thread that explains it all, but basicly you sign up and pick a primary weapon (bow or gun) and then through a somewhat radom draw teams are assigned. I say somewhat random because they try and "balance" the teams based on years of hunting expirence and weapon.

Huh :confused:

[wallydog1]

Huh :confused:

yea somewhat random,they put most of the guy's that are not gonna win on all the teams that are not going to be the winner :p 45, did that thru his random crystal ball team maker :whistle:

[CritterGitter]

It's been neat to watch this unfold from a non participant perspective. It looks like it has been a HUGE success and my hat's off to Ed and Charlie! I may participate next year. I'll be able to hunt a little more next year as well.

Kyle

[swantucky]

Huh :confused:

I thought that is what you did?? You would know far better than I:)

[bowhunter1023]

I thought this thread was about Team 15 The "Lungbusters" ;)

[HeartLunger]

Sorry!

[bowhunter1023]

Sorry!

You are forgiven Chef Lavender. :D LOL

[swantucky]

Huh :confused:

I thought this thread was about Team 15 The "Lungbusters" ;)
:gaga: :cheeky-smiley-022: :gaga: Cry me a river.

I was looking at the standings and I see you ladies are 1 point ahead of us?? So if I shoot a spike your wearing the tu-tu, correct??:whistle:

[deerhunt45]

I thought that is what you did?? You would know far better than I:)

You didn't read the thread :cheeky-smiley-022: I described how I did it and it's all random if you ask me, no consideration was given to experience or age or anything. There was only one gun hunter entered so he was randomly placed on a bow team. It has been a lot of fun and I thank everyone for participating. To answer Heartlunger's question, we'll start a signup next August and do it again. It was great for the site. I think we all learned something and made some new friends. I let my team down this year but it wasn't for the lack of hunting. Hindsight is 20/20. I should have a taken a doe the 1st day out and I didn't.

To shoot a spike or wear a tutu :whistle: That's a tough one tucky :D

Great job LUNGBUSTERS :bouncy:

[uncle odie]

sorry guys,just couldn't get er done,couldn't get those last 5 pts.waited too long i guess.went out this weekend,saw alot of deer,but no shots.anyway,had alot of fun with this contest and enjoyed everyones photos and storys.maybe we can hook up again this season.

[bowhunter1023]

Odie, you are the man! You put swantucky in tutu. Thanks to Freak Daddy we pulled out at 1-Point win over the Widowmakers. O, Tucky... :D

[deerhunter_matt]

Jesse, you gonna enter another of your does for an extra 5 pts? Or is it too late?

[bowhunter1023]

I thought we could only enter one buck and one doe per person?

[deerhunter_matt]

You could enter one buck and one doe or two doe. No big deal though.



(Way to drop the ball!) ;)

I thought we could only enter one buck and one doe per person?

from what i understand,you can enter 2 does in you have not connected with a buck.BTW Jessie,i watched Freak Daddy for 3 years,just never hunted him.look at the knowledge you gathered this year about Deuces habits,next season he will even be so much bigger.

Not as big of an idiot as I am, I knew you could enter two does (no I did not mention it to you:whistle: ) and I was going to enter another antlerless at the last minute so you would lose and I forgot to do it. So I am equally or more stupid than you are since I will be the one in the tu-tu:p
