[benehunter]

By the way guys we gotta get ourselves a name. Any ideas???

[Flippin 416]

Hey 100K so you are in NC and I am in MD. Where in Ohio do you hunt?
I've got a few farms that I have permission to hunt in Athens and Morgan counties and most recently I bought 40 acres in Noble.

I got a private farm in Muskingum I can hunt, but last year I did most of my hunting in Coshocton.

Now let's win!!!:bouncy:

[l00k]

Looks like we are a bow hunting only team. Anyone got any cams out or been watching any good bucks.

[benehunter]

I've got one out in Noble co. that I will pick up next week and I have no idea what to expect as it is a new piece of land.
On the other hand I got this boy behind my house but I can't use him for the contest because it is in Maryland:(

http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r381/benehunter/deer116.jpg

http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r381/benehunter/MDGC0018.jpg

[l00k]

What kind camera you got out in Noble? How long you had it out? Keep us posted, maybe you will have some good ones. Also looks like there in Maryland you got a few good ones running around.

[benehunter]

It's the same one that took the pictures above, a Moultrie d40. I am thinking about getting another one, they are pretty cheap and take good pics.

I actually went to Noble co. last week and took my laptop to unload the pics. During the process, my laptop batteries died on me. I thought it downloaded the pics but when I got back to MD, I realize that I had only 6 pics. I know that there were more than 40 pics on the camera even though I only got to see a few. I will have to wait till next week as I left the camera there.

These are the first pics that I got there.

http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r381/benehunter/MDGC0018-1.jpg

As you can see they are all from the same day as they were the first pics to download on the computer....Will have to wait and hope something bigger is around.

[l00k]

You should have a ton of pictures by now, I don't know if I could have waited that long....especially if it was new property. Keep us informed:)

Good, good. Ahh I dont know! The deer are like the weather in ohio. Sometimes they cooperate and sometiems they dont. Im sure I will atleast be able to find a six point or something! Where ya from???





As far as the name goes, I am easy to get along with. My input isnt necessary, Just tell me when I can start hunting!

[ohiotrapper1984]

Well good to see we are all checked in. I dont have any pics to post since my cudyback dosent work any more and havent had the funds to get it fixed or replace it yet. I have been scouting and the sign is looking good I saw five bucks out in a cut wheat field 2 where ok size but no monster spotted. Is it november yet:nono:

[deerhunt45]

Team #13

Team Fulldraw it is. Good luck guys!

[benehunter]

I am in Ohio usually once every 2 weeks, sometimes every week. I work weekends so weekdays would be best. That would be a great idea to have some good times:p .

I hunt mostly Athens county but Noble or anywhere nearby would work.

Any suggestions???

[l00k]

I would need to look into it some to see what days I could. I have tons of days to hunt, just got to plan it in advance. I will be in Canada from the 29th of Oct. to Nov.12th so I will miss the prime time in Ohio this year. As of right now I am planning Ohio Oct.12th-19th, and another trip before Ohio gun.

[l00k]

I got a friend making us a very cool team logo. I will tell you more as soon as he gets it done, but it will be very cool looking, I think ohiotrapper1984 seen a sample. Should have it maybe by weekend.

[buckster]

I still dont know how to post pictures on this site but in the last 4 years I have a 162''ten a 140''eight a 120'' eight and a 138''ten so hopefully I can add to that this year.
I am also leaving for WY the first of Oct on another mule deer hunt last time out I got a 163'' muley.

No problem, and nice deer:bouncy:

I hunt mostly Athens county but Noble or anywhere nearby would work.

Any suggestions???

I would love to hunt down there do you hunt public or your own land the only prob i dont have a climber but let me know.

[benehunter]

I hunt both. Mostly private but both my bucks were killed on public ground. The biggest one in Salt Fork Wildlife area on my very first time there.

Recently I bought 40 acres in Noble but I am not sure if there are any big ones, only seen a small 8 that needs a few years. May be I will just shoot some does there.

I scouted Fox Lake in Athens last week but only seen does. However there are tons of good public hunting down there so either way we should plan something.

I will be going down to Ohio next week to check my camera in Noble so I will know more.

Also I am planning on scouting some other public land if time allows me before season kicks in. Any suggestions? I would like to try Wayne, AEP or Salt Fork.

[ohiotrapper1984]

I know there are some monsters in muskigum couty i have gun hunted dillion state park wasent able to conect but seen some absulute monsters down there.we where driving around the sunday before gun and seen 8 bucks walk across a feald 3 where huge 1 would have scored close to 200 they where on privet land close to dillion i have wanted to go down and bow hunt it eversence but havent that would be a great place to meat and do some hunting

[benehunter]

Never been there but I have some luck once in a while. Checked the ODNR and there are camping sites too. That could be a possibility sometime in October.

You still hunting in jefferson this year?

[Big H]

Going to hunt Jefferson, I will actually be lucky to get anything in the ground this year, as far as annuals go. I have some forage oats and some turnips, but haven't had time to do anything. Maybe this weekend.

I was thinking of you today when I almost hit a coyote in Broadview Heights.

Talking about backstraps, I gotta hurry up and eat the rest of my venison. Still have about 8 backstraps and around 30lb between steaks and ground meat.

Hey guys, just got back from Ohio. Had a great couple days camping and drinking:) . A bit dissapointed my trail cam got stolen and I won't know what was in it. I hate trespassers, I had to post the property in hopes they will think twice next time. I better never find one in my property:nono:

I also met the neighbors across which they had just moved in. Very nice people, we had some beers and talked around the fire pit for a few hours. I told them about what happen and they will keep an eye on my property as trespassers affect us all.

[ohiotrapper1984]

That sucks. Trespassers will be shot survivors will be shot again:mischeif:

Sorry to here about your cameras...that sucks!! Did you have your cameras locked, not that it makes them full proof. What kind of camera did you have, I hope it wasn't one of the higher price ones. Someone needs to design a camera with a build in GPS tracking device, that would surprise a few people.

It was not locked and more likely it would make no difference. It was a cheap Moultrie d40 that I bought with my hard work earned money and that is what makes me real mad. If they make one with a GPS I would be the first to buy one. I am sure it wont be long before seeing one in the market.

[ohiotrapper1984]

Where did we want to have our hunt at and could we decide on a date i would like to start planning for it and doing some scouting to increase our odds if we go to dillon i have some good spots let me know what u decide thanks zack.

Need to be giving 45 a team member name....

kaiser878 has been mentioned a few times, anyone else want to do it? Or Kaiser878 would you even want to do it?

[Kaiser878]

Ya I have no problem being the one who represents. I dont want to step on anyones toes if someone else wants to do it though. You boys are putting a lot of pressure on me! haha If you guys want me to, I am game!

[benehunter]

I am fine with whatever you guys want. It does not bother me, you guys decide.

Ok now i see well in that case Kaiser is fine with me. I am going to kill a bigger deer but thats ok :whistle::whistle:

I hope you do! haha I hope everyone on here shoots a bigger deer than me! That would be bad ass, then we will whoop some butt!

Hey Kaiser I was working in Strasburg today,out past the church on 6th St is that close to your place?

[Kaiser878]

No kidding??? Umm semi close, did you see hardees?? If so, you turn by hardees by the landscaping place, turn left on next road, and go 2 miles into the boonies and thats where I reside. shoulda got ahold of me! I was killing geese today!

[l00k]

I guess since Kaiser has been mentioned a few times and he is willing then we got our team member. Now show Michigan what a buck looks like:bouncy: I'm sure you will do just fine Kaiser, actually I'm sure all here will do great this season.:D

Kaiser I must have gone past your place,I always take that Dundee strawsburg RD.How was the geese hunting?never done that.

[l00k]

I always think it makes a guy look foolish if you have to knock someone else in order to look good.
No matter how good we are thier is always someone better. oink oinkMakes me want to wallow in the mudd.


I agree buckster, I'm glad to be part of your team...:)

[buckster]

Oh and by the way why dont we just vote in Kasier for our team, he has my vote.

[Kaiser878]

Kaiser I must have gone past your place,I always take that Dundee strawsburg RD.How was the geese hunting?never done that.

Nah, I live on race rd, dundee strasburg is at the stop sign, when you turn by hardees, it is like 70 yards then you turn left mon my road. I see you live in sweetwater. We are pretty close neighbors. Im sure you frequent millers then? We will have to get together sicne we live so close. I hunt a lot in barrs mills for quackers and honkers. I have limited out everyday since monday on geese. and have shot a handful of doves through out the week also. Tues night 3 of us shot 35, and last night me and the womans brother shot 15. ITs good work for the dog, he lieks it.

[l00k]

Oh and by the way why dont we just vote in Kasier for our team, he has my vote.

Sounds good to me, I will advise deerhunt45

[l00k]

Kaiser you the the man, Good luck:bouncy:

[Kaiser878]

No pressure, no pressure! haha I Will do what I have to I suppose! The only thing that kinda doesnt make sense to me is that a 70 inch 8pt scores the same as a 140 inch 8 pt. I guess if it come down to it, late season I will put a scrub buck on the ground! haha Nah, Ill put jsut as much work into it this year as I do every year! Hopefully as a team we kick some bottom!

[benehunter]

I am having some problems with my computer. Hope to get it fix soon.

[Kaiser878]

Good news guys, I saw a deer last night about 3/4 of a mile from my house. I think I am gonna have deer in my area this year! It looked like probably a 1.5 y/o doe!

[benehunter]

Is my team alive??? If you are, then I'll update you that i was in ohio the last few days and hung up 2 cameras and also noticed my stand has not been stolen yet:) . I heard turkeys all around me, saw a bunch of deer sign and then had a doe snuck up on me and scared me to death as she came from behind. Good times!!!

Glad to see no one stole your stands. When you checking your cameras again? I have not been on as much lately, season came in here Monday, and I've been trying to get everything done for my Canada trip.

[benehunter]

Work i getting real busy so I will be checking the cams hopefully this coming week or the next one. Season starts here on Monday but my parents are coming in town to visit me for a few days so I probably won't be able to hunt till they leave.

[ohiotrapper1984]

Im still hear just havent had much to talk about.I have almost all my stands hung its looking good the beans and corn crops are starting to turn the season is so close its driving me nuts:dizzy:

[Kaiser878]

I have been killing geese! THe occasional dove hunt sneeks in also. I have not really been paying attention to the deer. I see the occasional deer or two in some fields but nothing serious. I hung my stands in may. I dont really liek to be where I hunt until it is time to start killing! People dont realize the disturbance they make by jsut passing through. Sometimes it is the difference between seeing that big buck and not seeing him!

[Kaiser878]

Oh the smell is in the air! I can feel it, its almost time. The DXT is throwing darts, and the rages are ready to tear some **** up. How many of my fellow team members are going to whack a doe opening weekend?? I cant go out sat morning because I work all night fri night untill 7 am sat morning. Sat. night I will be in my stand though. I absolutely cant wait to see what this DXT will do to a deer!

[ohioarcher]

Bad news guys, i called the farmer that lets me hunt back in august the way i always do, and he said yea no problem come out and hunt this yearand he does not let me in to hang stands until mid sept so icalled him mid sept to see when i can come out and put them up. Well i never heard back from him i called him again this past friday and he says oh my step son has treestands hung in my spot and i can't let you hunt, which is fine but he waited until the last moment to let me know this. And it is to late to find another spot now, this makes me so mad especially since i have known this guy for 20 years, anyway it looks like i dont get to hunt this year. But the good news is you guys can still draw an alternate i am really sorry guys i was really looking forward to this again this year, good luck guys!

Wow, sorry for your luck ohioarcher. Have you thought about hunting public land? The contest is just for fun, you can still stay in and find some public land to hunt. You may even pick up some other places as season goes by. It is your call, but either way good luck!!

[ohiotrapper1984]

Well that sucks sorry to hear that. But has any one on the team found any good deer for the opener i havent seen any big bucks but my first morning and afternoon spots look really good for atleast a dow. but good luck team i am looking forward to hearing your stories.

[Kaiser878]

There are a few big deer around my area. I will jsut have to wait and see what happens. Saturday ngiht I am not gonig to one of my good spots, but I am gogni to go to a spot where I should be able to kill a doe. Although, the spot I am gonig to go to proved to be quit amazing the first time I hunted it last year. I went there on a whim due to a very nice white oak tree secluded amongst a bunch of elm and maple. I was there maybe 30 min when I had to yearlings come up and bed down. About an hour later they just jumped up out of no where and took off. Here the mother msut have been callnig them and I didnt hear it. then they walked over with her. I Was gonna shoot her until I heard more deer coming. I sat down and waited and dotn ya know it, a nice bachelor group of three bucks came in. One was a wide 8 pt, probably 17 inches wide, the other wasa nice ten that was probably 16inches wide and the other was a decent 8. I really believe they were all brothers. All looked to be the same age, I would have aged them all at 2.5 years old. All were spindly and didnt have any mass. After they had came in they all bedded down. Then about 6 other does showed up. IT was amazing, I could have shot anyone of those bucks about 10 times. IT was jsut an amazing thing to see. They always say the first ngiht in a spot is the best night. I think I will go there saturday night though and see what I see!

[Flippin 416]

[buckster]

Hey guys I'm back sorry my computer was down.

[ohioarcher]

Guys i think i might have acouple of spots lined up including some public land that looks promising, in my 48 years here in ohio i have never had to resort to public land for deer hunting. I tell you it gets tougher buy the year. i did alot of scouting and talking with people because i knew i could not go a hunting season without hunting especially since i work in the hunting industry and i see all these big deer come in through the check in station. I am trying not to let the team down, and until i hear the 9 count i am still in.

[benehunter]

Hey guys, I am sorry I have been away for a few days. My computer at home is down and I had to use the one at work which I prefer not to. Anyways, good luck to everyone, I will not be able to hunt in Ohio until mid October as work got real busy and my boss is busting my b... May be I will do some hunting in my backyard if I get a chance.

[ohiotrapper1984]

hey team are we still having a hunt in southern ohio in mid oct? I was looking forward to meeting the team and doing some hunting together.

[benehunter]

hey team are we still having a hunt in southern ohio in mid oct? I was looking forward to meeting the team and doing some hunting together.
I would like to. It is hard for me though to come up with a date with more than a week in advance. I will keep you posted.

[Kaiser878]

What kind of hunt are you speaking of? Perhaps like a pheasant hunt??


Flippin416, you know it. Actually I have a new one this year that you might have seen before. haha It has the initials TG on it! hahaha



I went to another spot last ngiht that is probably only a 20 acre section of woods. I was really surprised at the sign that was present. I found 4 really good rubs in one close area and one hellatious scrape. This struck me as being kinda odd, its still very early for one this size. I found a nice tree to nest in, unfortunately I wont be hitting this spot untill next thurs night. I have other spots that need hit before then. Also last ngiht after an awesome dove hunt for which I limited out with 15 birds in 10 min of shooting. absolutely awesome. Anyway, when I got home I looked in the backyard by my garden and what do you think was standing there? I Would say he was probably 125inches, with a sticker off his left side. A nice buck unfortunately not a shooter for me, but I gurantee if he walks in front of the old man, he wont be standing long. haha It was kinda cool to see a nice deer standing in my yard!

Anyone else been seeing anything worth shooting?

[Flippin 416]

Hahahaha thanks for inviting me on your helacious dove hunt...PAL!!!! I have a cousin with the initals TG.....you know him??? :yikes:

[Kaiser878]

You were at school learning!!! Duh!! haha Tomorrow morning if you wanna go!! ha

And no, unless your cousins name is teresa I wasnt referring to him! haha

[Flippin 416]

SOME of us have to work in the AM....otherwise I would be all over it.

LOL...no we are talking about two different people.....:16suspect1:

[Kaiser878]

HAHAH
Call off dead!!!!!!

[Flippin 416]

You'll have to do that for me....lol

[Kaiser878]

Its time boys!!!!!! I cant hunt tomorrow AM because i Have to work all damn night. Hopefully you guys will put some aminals on the ground. Good luck and I will check in tomorrow. Hopefully with atleast a skin head!!!!

[ohioarcher]

good luck guys! i am going to check out a new place tommorrow but wont be able to hunt until next week,

[ohiotrapper1984]

Hey ohio how far from huron county are you if you want we could meat up at my place and do some hunting it would be a good time and i dont mind helping you out since u lost your woods let me know. zack

[benehunter]

Well, updating the team, my cameras have been up for about 2 weeks now. I do not have a date yet to go to ohio in the next few days but hopefully it will be within the next 2 weeks. Once I check my cameras I will decide if I hunt there or if I will go down to Athens Co.

Also I found 2 scrapes and a lot of sign behind my house here in MD, both are in my shooting lane. Went and got some corn and will set up my blind this week to try to hunt it after work in the afternoon.

Any luck with you guys? Anybody got to hunt today?

On another note, last time I went scouting one of the farms I hunt near Nelsonville about a month ago, there was a truck from Cole Outdoors parked by one of the fields. It sounds to me that something big might be roaming the farm. It stinks though that I am not the only one.

[Kaiser878]

Buckster, how clsoe was it? I assume you passed it up?? If so good QDM practice. Hopefully daddy will come in.

[buckster]

Kaiser He was at 30 yds he is a 3yr old have pictures and sheds from last year.It was raining all night so me and my 12 yr old sat in a 12' high box blind I was not going to shoot him but was going to let my son try cant say no to the kids. we had three windows open and a jacket over the back window so that is the side he came from of course. My son shot a 117" 9 point last year so it has to be bigger than that,they gota start somwhere.

Good Job buckster,good luck with that Buck :)

[benehunter]

I set up in a ground blind, saw this doe came by and hung around for 20 minutes and left. I let her go because it was early and hoping a buck would show up; instead the doe came back and gave me a 10 yard shot. Dropped it on her steps, no blood trail needed:biggrin: . I shot it a little high but got one lung and the spine. The only problem, this was in MD so it doesn't count towards the contest:irked: .

Buckster, congrats on the does, hope you get that buck:bouncy:

Good deal. The 9th through the 16th should be awesome hunting!

[Kaiser878]

Thats what I like to hear boys! Drop em dead. Last night was a good nght to be out in the woods. I was in the stand 5 minutes and had a 120 inch 8pt coem by at 330. It stood under me fro 5 min and wouldnt leave. Then it jsut walked away and never saw it the rest of the night. I coulda put us on the board but a 120 inch deer isnt what I am looking for. Next year he might be a shooter, but I have a 140 inch min. at the farm, so he walked. I saw soem does and another little buck but not what nothing worthy of a rage mounted gold tip arrow. Well off too the woods, hopefully tongiht soemthing will present itself

[buckster]

Hey guys could I get one of you to post my doe pictures as I still dont know how.Thanks

[benehunter]

So I got home from work today and thought about trying my ground blind once again. It was a little later than what I prefer. As Im walking to it, not 10 yards from it, there were 2 nice bucks just hanging out. Both got spooked and didn't see them again. I thought I might not see any deer once I just shot that doe yesterday in the same spot and there is still blood around.

[ohioarcher]

Well boys I cant hunt until monday, It is my weekend to work and I am out of comission untill monday evening. Last nghit was a great ngiht in the stand. had a 4pth coem in at 530, a doe at 6 and the 4 pt came back at 630 and bedded 40 yards from me. at 650 the doe came back behind me and I turned around to look as she past by. when I turned back around I saw a large bodied deer comnig rt at me down a grown up path. As it got to about 80 yards I thoguht to myself, oh man this is him. Well when it got to about 40 I realized it was a 2.5 y/o deer with an 18 inch spread, but only 7 0r 8 inch tines. H walked by perfect, 15 yards broadside not a clue I Was around. Well next thing you know the 4 pt gets up and we have a little tusslnig match between the two at 25 yards. I couldnt believe it. They did this until 745. I was stuck in my stand until 745! Then they stopped and walked away. Hopefully monday evening produces some antlers. WE will see.

Well hunted mon night and both morn and eve yest. Deffinately seeing a ltol of deer. YEsterday morning was a good morning. At 705 I had "The Boy" walk in. Unfortunately I just wasnt able to get a shot off due to low light conditions. Im here to tell ya, wow!!!!!! After him I had a 4 pt bed down beside me, had three does come by and at 9 I had 6 come in a single file line 5 yards past me and were none the wiser about my presence. I wont be back out until sat, but lets hope one does the same thing but about 5 minutes later.

I just hope deer move somewhat as good as I have seen in the past. If all else fails I will plan me another trip a little later in November.

Any luck this weekend? I will be heading for my first Ohio hunt tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I can get some points for the team and some meat in freezer. My MD doe needs company' she is lonely and cold in there:p

[Kaiser878]

Went out this morning and passed on a little 8pt, probably 110 inch deer. I didnt go out tonight, I am getting a little irritated at this deer business. To ease my strife I went and did a little dove hunting. My buddy and I shot 30 doves. The dog was tired after tonights mixed plethera of retrieves. We stood by the river at a gravel pit and birds were falling in the river, on the gravel piles, in the field, they were fallnig all over. Needless to say the pup wa s tired as crap tongiht. I will be back at the deer and nature watchnig tomorrow, cause god knows nothing with a decent set of antlers will come my way!:nono:

[benehunter]

Im taking my turkey calls just in case the deer hunting business gets boring due to the warm weather.:)

[buckster]

I got out tonight, the last time before I go to Wy.
I saw deer all over the place A young 130 eight point at 19 yds and a good 4.5 yr old 7 point really a mature buck never presented a shot though.
I think I saw about 12 bucks and at least that many does,Good luck to all you the next two weeks
if I have internet service I will keep you posted

[benehunter]

Good luck in Wy buckster.

I hunted OH the last 2 days. Saw a lot of deer but nothing worth shooting except a buck I spooked on my way out of the woods past shooting light. I almost got a shot at a turkey as a fock of 8 came walking to my stand. Even I was frozen, they still picked me from 35 yards and game over...2 more steps and the we would have a different story.:irked:

Found sign of trespassers with a fresh killed doe carcass :nono: but my stand and cameras were safe this time:) . Also I found a dead buck that Im not sure what happened to him:( . I posted pics in a different thread.

This is a picture I like as I think he has some potential in a few years. I guess him at 2 1/2 years old???

I just got back from my first Ohio trip and didn't bring anything back this time. The weather completley sucked, it was in the 80's most of the week with a full moon (My fault on the moon, but tried to get an early trip in) . I still manage to see some does and a few small bucks but nothing like usual. Deer just were not moving much at all during the day. I saw one HUGE buck several different times, but it was on the way back to my room at night standing in the front yard under an apple tree of a man's house...but he gave you something to think about before bed and made getting up early a little easier knowing it was going to be in the 80's. I still had a great time and hope to make another trip after I get back from Canada.

[Kaiser878]

Well I didnt do much deer hutnnig this weekend sicne duck season came in but I did go out sat evening for a little doe management at my buddies farm. We both sat in the same tree and he had the video camera. Had a big old doe coem in at 410 with 2 button bucks and she milled around for a bit. I let her get to about 26 yards and he gave me the ok that he had good footage and she was in the clear for him and I let the arrow fly. Absolutely center punched her and she wheeled around and went about 60 yards and tipped over. The footage ended up being perfect, so If i can I will try and put it on here!

I let her get to about 26 yards and he gave me the ok that he had good footage and she was in the clear for him and I let the arrow fly. Absolutely center punched her and she wheeled around and went about 60 yards and tipped over. The footage ended up being perfect, so If i can I will try and put it on here!

That sounds like a fun hunt, look forward to seeing the video. Congrats again:)

Well guys bad bad bad news. Was out last night and had some deer movement, nothing great. At 6 o clock I look up on he ridge and there he stands. I about shat my pants. He was was walkngi towards me but he wasnt gongito get real close. He got to 40 yards and wasnt comnig any closer. I wasnt sure to let him go by then try grunting or to shoot. I drew back, I thoguht i was in the clear, I stopped him released and hit a mother truckin branch. I am still sick. He was a freaking hog, somewhere in the range of mid 150s to low 160s. He was a perfect 10pt. 20 inches wide, 12 inch g2s, 10inch g threes. Just a hog. I dont know what I am gongi to be able to produce now. I dicked myself and our team. Sorry guys!

ah you'll be alright that buck will be back especially when he starts chasing. Maybe move your tree stand to another tree, always keep them guesing! I have had them come back and look at the tree i was busted in and while doing so i shot him, his attention was diverted away from me

Don't feel bad about it, the best is yet to come and like ohioarcher said you will probably get another chance. At least you are in the right spot.

On my end, I was hunting out of my blind this afternoon and I had a small 8 point walked by at may be 6 yards. He was sooooo close but I chose to let him go. I got some nice video of him though.:D

I'm sure that is a sick feeling, but wow...thats awesome that you get to see a buck that size. With the Rut approaching who knows what you will see with that size of deer running around. As far as letting the team down, we will be fine either way...its all for fun, and you are having it. I still have a feeling you will you will produce though. Good luck to all the team as it should be getting interesting over the next few weeks.

[ohiotrapper1984]

Ok sorry i havent been on much i have been bizzy getting my traps ready its just around the corner. anyways that sucks to miss a big one like that i would move your stand a little ways wont take much and keep at it. as for me went out tonight in the cold azz rain and dident see a thing :rant: all i have been seeing are fawns and small bucks but the peak is starting.

[Kaiser878]

I went out to my backyard to have a smoke tonight and I can hear some rattling back in the trees. Also last night I saw a few deer in the yard and a small buck chasing a doe. Anyways things are heating up now. I will be heading to Ohio in a few days for my long waited vacation. Hope I can add some points to the board.

Sure sounds like an awesome hunt, good luck to you.

[Kaiser878]

Well guys I have come down with some sort of sickness over the past three days, I would assume its hospital related considering I spend most of my tiem here. I still managed to hunt the past two days. Not a whole lot of action with the wind but still saw movement. Saw some does and alst nghit I saw a great future prospect of an 8pt. 1.5 years old and would probably score somewhere in the 80-90 range, he was even starting g4s. I had him at 10 yards for about 30 min last night. My dad was set up abotu 50 yards down the ridge from me and saw a whole slew of does. I think he said 5 and one little scrub buck. Im stuck at work today and tomorrow. Friday-sunday I Will be out. WE will see what kind of fortune the deer gods grant me! Hopesulyl something good for once!!!

[Kaiser878]

I must admit fellas, Im jsut not getting the good feelnig aobout this year. I have logged a ton of hours. I have seen more bucks this yearm, than I have in any other year. I am sitting in a 14 y/o paradise with than many bucks runnnig around. Last ngiht I sat in what I call my buck stand. I try not to sit in it in the evening due to how close it is to a bedding area, but with the wind and the rainy conditions I snuck in. I saw the 8 pt I spoke of in the previous post. Thats the 11th diff buck I have seen from that stand. Never have I seen that many diff bucks on this farm. On the other side of the farm I am seeing all does. Usually a herd of 8-12 all at the same time. Where I had the encounter with the big 10 was rt smack in the middle of the farm. I am starting to rack my brain to the point of confusing myself as to where to sit. Shoudl I stick with past years results and stay in my tree where I have had success before, where they usually seem to show up during the rut. Or should I venture to where I "think" the bucks are gongi to be moving.

I know everyone says to find the does and the bucks will be there, Ive said it before myself. There is one problem, I am having a hard time sitting where the does are because I jsut dont see the big boy comnig through there. We will see what happens this weekend, I seriously hope things turn around. I am gongi to live in that tree stand this weekend.

[ohioarcher]

well guys, i will have the next 2 days off and sat sun & mon, I have the Dec circular coming up the next 2 weeks so i had to take my last 2 vacation days this week, so i will be hard at it the next 5 days in hopes of killing a big one.

[benehunter]

I just decided to drive to Athens and do some hunting this weekend. I will get there Saturday and hunt that evening and then all day Sunday and all day Monday. Should be pretty good. I will keep you posted.

[Kaiser878]

Well boys lady luck was with me this morning. I settled in the stand at about 0645. At first light when most deer movement occurs at what I have started to call "The Buck" stand, there was nothing. I became slightly discouraged. At 8 o'clock I looked over my left shoulder and looky looky what I see, Mr. Ten Point. Thats right, the same one who gave me the slip two tuesdays ago due to a branch. I stood up, grabbed my bow and got situated. He was on the same trail I normally see the does crossing over into the bedding area on. I knew if he continued to travel that route he would be at 15 yards behind my stand and in the wide open. Well he opted to take a little wider route and ended up at 25 yards. I had a decent opening, but not what I wanted to shoot through. I thought he was gongi to angle another way into a larger opening, well he didnt do that either. He ended up gonig into the thickest area around my stand. He was at 25 yards and I was franticly looking to find a hole I could squeeze an arrow through. I was kicking myself for not taking the shot when I had it earlier. Suddenly I saw a softball sized hole and drew back. He stepped in it, I grunted and wouldnt ya know, he stopped perfect in it. I settled my 20 yard pin a bit high and let her fly. I couldnt believe it, the arrow slipped through the opening and center punched the Deer I have named the "Lucky Ten."

As soon as the arrow hit he took off, at the time I didnt know I had center punched him. The funny thing was he didnt really run hard, he just kinda trotted off. He stopped at about 40 yards and looked back. All I could see was his head turning and looknig back. About 10 seconds later he took off sideways and piled up. I coulndt believe it. The deer I have velvet pictures of from 3 months ago, the deer I missed due to a branch over a week ago, and most importantly the deer i have been losing sleep over is now dead and in my hands. Its almost a bitter sweet ending to such a dramatic and stressful story to this years hunting adventures. When I got up to him and I sat down to reflect as I mostly do with my bucks and I was almost to the breaking point. This is probably the most emotional deer harvest I have ever made. So I guess now I sohuld probably show him to you huh??

[benehunter]

Hi guys, congrats to both Kaiser and Ohiotrapper for some great bucks down. :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

Kaiser I like the fact that you had this buck on camera and you set your goals on him. I bet it feels great to have him on the wall with a great story behind.

Ohiotrapper, I am not sure you posted a story yet but nevertheless great buck and also wide. BTW which county did you get him. Did you end up going to Dillon?

Looks like it is up to the out of state to put up some points on the board now. I personally have a lot of expectations this year. I came back from a weekend hunt in Ohio with a lot of movement but no kills. The first morning I rattled a small 6 pointer that hung around for what it felt like 2 hours. He even looked up my way in the tree but could not picked me out. Of course I was smoked up but I also have a great tree stand set up with some branches that really break my outline.

Later that day I saw a buck chasing a couple of does on the opposite hill. I grunted a couple times and little do I know the does are coming my way with a big one following. I get ready and as the does crossed a creek and into my shooting lane the buck changed his trail at last second enough to leave me with no shot:mad: .

Little dissapointed but that's hunting. Its all about spending some great time and I definitely learned a bunch as I get to know my land as well.

Ohh and I will post a picture of this big buck I almost get a shot at and hopefully I will next week.

All I need now is a little bit of luck.

[Kaiser878]

Well I took the girlfriend out tongiht for her first ever bowhunt, wait, first ever deer hunt. We went out about 1530 and sat next to an area where I had been seeing some deer activity. At about 1650 i heard some leaves rustling to our right. I figured it was a deer as it kept getting closer and closer. Next thing ya know he popped out on our rt side and was comnig pretty steadily to my scent wick I had placed to stop him. He walked rt in at about 22 yards and my girlfriend emily made a perfect shot. He ran about 80-100 yards and I heard him crash. WE followed the blood trail and wouldnt ya know, there he was. Emilys first deer on her first deer hunt ever. Not bad huh?? I would liek to think she had a great world class guide! haha

[l00k]

Congrats ohiotrapper1984, great deer.

[l00k]

I haven't been on much since my Canada trip and looks like you guys have been busy. Way to get it done Kaiser878, nice story and great deer. Glad it worked out for you, I had a feeling you would connect. I don't think very many hunters would every pass on a deer like that, I know I sure wouldn't. Also congrats on your girlfriends deer as well. Great season you are having. I am driving up for a 3 day hunt starting sometime tomorrow and maybe another week long hunt starting on the 23rd.

[Kaiser878]

Whats everyone been seeing?? Anyone hunting?? Buckster?? Ohioarcher??
I have not been out since last wednesday morning. I sat in the same stand as I shot my buck in. I was there to shoot a doe. At first light had two young bucks come in and square off, thought for sure they were gonna go at it! Unfortunately they didnt. Didnt see anything else until 800 when a momma and little one came runing over the hill. She wouldnt stop and I later found out why. A dandy 8pt was rt behind em, he stopped at 25 yards broadside and stood there for about 2 min. As if to tempt me, Id say he was probably 130-135. A very nice 3.5 y/o. I just hope he makes it through the year.

[buckster]

Kaiser I saw 4 shooter bucks last week between 145 and 160 and yes i missed a pig at 33 yds havnt slept good since.Seem to be locked down by last of week,do you think this week will be good ?

[Kaiser878]

Yes, I do believe it is gongi to be awesome! I am gongito video with my buddy as much as I can. Tongiht was an awesome night to be in a tree. Deer everywhere on my way to work. This snow will get em moving. The first snow always spikes the activity in deer it seems like! This week might be one of the best weeks to be out this year in my opinion!

[benehunter]

I got back last night from my week long vacation in Ohio with no deer. Yeah, you heard that right!!!

I hunted starting Sunday the 10th all the way until last night. Only took some lunch breaks and an occasional nature's call. Passed a bunch of young deer, 90% of which were 4 and 6 point bucks. Also passed on a few does waiting to see what was on their trail only to find out they were alone or followed by a young buck.

I only saw the big one I am after once after he chased a doe out of the thicket and right back in. This happened on the first afternoon about 50 yards from my stand. Another nice but young 8 pointer did the same thing the day after.

On the other property, I found out as I arrived the 200 or so acre corn field was still up:irked: and I believe that's where all the deer were caused I only seen a 4 point. With the wind and rain all day, I even tried to stalk them in the corn with no success.

I conclude that I failed to locate the does during this time of year as the big bucks were keeping them in the really thick stuff. And I am not sure what else I did wrong.

I will try it again in a few weeks.

[ohioarcher]

hang in there Bene, i have had a terrible year as well, this rut has been the worst and hardest to figure out in many years. I told my buddy tonight it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Last year it was early for me, this year it looks like i have been entered into the marathon instead of the sprint. I did get 2 yotes this morning :bouncy:

[benehunter]

Thanks Ohioarcher I did see the 2 yotes on another thread. Nice job, I have never seen them while hunting, only hear them howling their lungs out at night.

Anyways I kept thinking I ve seen more deer on other times of year than now. Where is the rut? Did I miss something?

All I know is that I am a very patient and persistant person and my time will come. I hoped sooner but later is fine too. This season is just starting so just hang on.

I said the same thing to myself today.

[l00k]

I too hunted hard this weekend in the rain and hard wind. Saw some deer and a few younger bucks running does but didn't really see any big deer. I am giving it another week long try starting Monday 24th.

[buckster]

Hey guys Big Buck Down I shot him tonight just at dark
he is a 4 yr old 8 point 19 wide on inside need someone to post some pictures . Was pretty cool had 4in of fresh snow 46 yds and he piled up within 100 yds
