Season started on the 1st of October.

It'd sure be nice to see some cool weather, next week is looking like '70's all week. Unless you are hunting an open area it's going to be a bugger to see a deer with all the leaves. But that's what makes it hunting!!!

I'm planning on going out Sunday morning. I ordered a thermacell, but it won't get here until Monday. I'm hoping for cool weather to keep the skeeters away, or at least manageable.

Got a doe tonight, saw lots of deer the last 2 days. Will
post pictures in a day or two. All right foggy bottom boys!!!!

Way to go Careut!!!! What'd she weigh?

 

[Gauge]

Congrates on the doe,caresut.

Get it on caresut !!! ;D The Foggy Bottom Boys/Ladies are gonna get rolling now!
with the last floods, and rains from the hurricanes, the insects are so bad now. I went this morning and couldn't stand it. :'(

She was 95 pounds. 28 yard shot from a blind. Quartering away. I hit the shoulder and
it redirected the arrow back to make it pass through behind the opposite shoulder.
She went 400 yards and not much blood beyond the initial shot. I called the game warden
and got permission to use my tracking dog. He tracked right to her and we started seeing more
blood the last 100 yards.
I had the big boy I am after 15 yards from me Sunday night. He never gave me a good shot.
I was drawn back when he was quartering to me but drew down and did not shoot.
It was not a good angle and I could hear thunder coming and did not want to chance not
finding him due to poor shot selection and impending rain. He never saw me and I will hopefully see him again.
I had hogs on my blind this morning. And by on my blind, I mean they were moving the tie down
ropes. I never got a shot as when one finally came out in front, another one caught my scent.
I was in my blind at 5am and I was really getting a little nervous as They were rooting around me
off and on until sunrise. Man, they are loud!

You did what has to be the most difficult thing in hunting, passing a good buck cause of a poor shot angle. Hope you get another chance at him and get a good shot on him.

 

[caresut]

Thanks Bird. I hope I do too. He is an old buck and has a huge body.
Here is a gamecam pic of him.

Holey moley man that had to hurt passing him up. Even more respect to ya! He sure has a tall rack and is that an extra brow tine on the left side?

 

[dennishoddy]

Man! thats a wall hanger for sure! Takes a real hunter to know when to pass up a questionable shot. My hats off to ya. ;D

 

[Gauge]

What a buck.
You'll get him next time caresut.
