Isn't it ironic how close you can get to deer when you are not hunting them. I had a button buck within 10 paces for about 15 minutes or so. Bet I could have hit him. :p

This is 2 of the 6 bucks that spent the summer in my back yard. There was high hopes that I might get a chance to harvest the biggest one with my bow, but 2 weeks before the season opened he quit showing up. I did get a chance at a one of the smaller bucks but never saw this one during open season, not bow, not rifle, not muzzleloader, I've not seen him until this day.
MIA from Sept. 14 until Jan 29th........
I went to my neighbors pasture last night and was trying to call in a coyote. I was right in the middle of my best dying rabbit impersonation when out from the timber came 3 deer.
Next deer season I'm gonna blow a preditor distress call. It worked last night.
Sorry the pics are of low quality but it was getting dark and I was in digital zoom.

Seeing that deer made emotions run through my head like anger for an irresponsible hunter taking that unethical shot and hurt for watching her gimp across the corn field. Yet it made me proud to see her making it the way she was. Maybe ill see her next year when the season rolls around sporting some healthy fawns with her. Hope everyone is staying warm out there.

There is some nice "Kodak Moments" !!!
We actually walked and found these fresh tracks....and folowd them.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/MoosemanBC/CathuntTZ07016.jpg)
We called Dave (the houdsman) over the radio to come to us with the dogs and just kept going after the cat. Here we found where it killed a deer. And that wasn't there the day before!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/MoosemanBC/CathuntTZ07020.jpg)
When Dave reached us with the dogs the chaise was on. It didn't go long but the cat jumped and took the dogs and us on a long run throu some beautiful country.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/MoosemanBC/CathuntTZ07033.jpg)
Finally we got to the tree and Tony placed a perfect arrow.......

We are now DELETING any pics posted larger than that for 3 very good reasons.
1) Large pics are a drag on those still on dial up.
2) Large pics cause an annoying scroll bar to show up at the bottom.
3) While we await our new server, the one we bought a year and a half ago is being taxed to the max with all the traffic.
Thanks for your help on this issue.

My son and I drove to south Georgia to meet a new Tradgang friend, Petri from Finland (aka Rambler). I thought that I traveled a little for my adventures, but this man has me beat. He is here in America to chase some hogs and explore new country, so we met up, did some walking and shot a few arrows......
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/SCJeff/GA/101_0258.jpg)
The weather was beautiful but the hogs were bashful. We did see some deer, turkeys, armidillos and otters. I had to return home but he is still out there, wandering the swamps, pine thickets and fields of Georgia.

This is a wonderment of nature. When ya live in Texas ya need to watch where you are flying. Anything flying under the radar is likely to run into something sharp. Bad Moon rising on the horizon. It will be his last Moon rise.

When it rains it pours around here. We either live in complete drought conditions or we float from all the rain. If only the Human Race could find the means to pull together like these Fire Ants do we'd not ever have any survival issues. The strong certainly do survive even when they are very small. CK

A big Tom lion made several attempts to get thru his head gear and get his neck broke. Then couldn't get him outta the stream, had to feed on him by sitting on top of him.
Both animals have my highest respect, it don't get much more real than this.

He would sleep with my son in his bed, and he was house broke, he got to big and my wife kicked him out.
So people still come and see him almost every day.
But his time with me will be coming to an end soon, when I go into his pen he just wants to play and he's kicking my a, I have dislocated my shoulder twice while playing with him.
He has vary little tusk and he wackes me with his head, so when he gets his tusk he'll tare me up and he'll just think he's playing with me.
His name is PUTTSY, and I don't eat anything I name, so he gets a reprieve, he gets to go back to the wild, just don't know how I'm going to get him back.
I was thinking of getting him drunk so he wont fight us putting him in the truck.

I got parked about 4:00 or so and started into my spot i found a place that had some trails leading to a creek looked good so i ploped down in a rock pile about 4:30 and started my wait.
Here is where it gets good. About 5:10 a big black boar with a white band around his chest comes down the hill, starts to nose around and gets to about 15 yards from me, my heart is going of course, he turns quartering away and stands there as to say go ahead and shoot me if you can. I draw hit my anchor and zip it all felt good arrow was on its way to the sweet spot. Well right about the sound of the bow going off the boar dips his right sholder pushes off with his frount feet and #^$#$$#, missed by that much. It was a perfect shot the arrow went right where i wanted to, the pig was just not there when the arrow got there.
So now im trying to calm down and about 15 min later i hear noise behind me. I start to turn, get about half way around and im busted by a boar about 12 yards away i freeze and about 15 pigs come over the nobb. The one that busted me snorts and trots about 4 or 5 yards and stops. It looks like i have a shot at a black boar about 20 yards off and i decide to take it, Im getting ready to draw and they start to spook so i rush to draw and anchor and zip right over his back, this one was my bad, if i would have made a good shot there would have been one in the cooler the first night.
So now im trying to get my pulse down to a normal level. 20 min goes by and about 8 more hogs are on there way feeding right to me and we all know what happens now, the wind, it switches and there off to the races.
By now it starting to get dark and who do i see but the black boar with the white stripe, he decides he wants to try again, he feeds his way in behind a bush and tree about 8 yards from me, I am at half draw waiting for him to clear the tree and $%#&^%$ he spooks and is gone in a heart beet.
Its to dark to see so off to the truck i go and for the first 50 to 60 yards i can hear hogs all over the place. i get to the cabin and stories and food abound. Get to sleep and yes i dream about hogs.
Im up early and off i go back to my spot i get there a little late, its about 5:40, sun starts up and there is just enough light to see. I hear some noise comming and i stand up to get ready, as soon as this hog clears the trees he looks right at me, i freez he takes 2 steps and stares at me then 2 to 3 and looks again then he does it, 2 steps and stops with his head right behind a tree, I come to full draw he takes a few more steps and zip right through the good stuff, he turns runs right back up the hill, loops around comes back down and dies right in the middle of the road, THATS RIGHT 0 DRAG, got to love it. here is what he looks like:

Not shot or broken up(by a car). He was almost a mile from the road. Go figure. I will hunt again this coming Sunday.

Here is a Gobbler I arrowed second day of season. I had three Gobblers come in at 0615. The jake decoy was 12ft from blind and all three Gobblers were between the blind and the jake decoy. Shot was about 6ft I figure.

Finally, I actually shot a turkey with my recurve bow and cedar arrow. I missed 3 toms last week while trying to make a head shot on them. Discovered that is a small target that never stays still for more than a moment. Yesterday I decided I would body shoot the next one I got a chance at but I ended up shooting low and missing. Today it all came together.
I stepped from behind a tree to see a tom looking right at me from about 60 yards out. He didn't cut and run like I expected but he was nervous and headed away from me. I stood still and watched him disappear in the underbrush. After several minutes passed with no sign of him I changed my position a little and made a few yelps on my wing bone call. I heard no response but figured I would just stay put since I now had good cover and threatening skies meant the hunt might be over soon anyway.
Suddenly some movement caught my eye. It was a tom, perhaps the same tom, and he was heading my direction. This could be my chance if I didn't get noticed again. I tried to keep my body and bow concealed behind the oak next to me and then I focused on remaining calm and not moving anything but my eyes. He slowly made his way along, picking at this and that and always pausing to listen and look around. I knew I would have to let him pass by in order to get a shot but already my heart was picking up the tempo.
As he passed behind my tree something caused him to gobble and I just about jumped out of my skin. He was probably less than 15 yards away and I wasn't expecting that. His was the first gobble I had heard all day. Moments later he gobbled again. I used that as my cue to lean out and have a look at him. Suddenly he fluttered his wings as if he was stretching them out and that was the commotion I needed to make my move. I stepped from behind the tree and drew simultaneously. My eye settled into the center of his back and the arrow was off. My aim had been true and the big bird tumbled forward. His beating wings told me the arrow had not broken his back and might actually be able to get away. I quickly knocked a second arrow as I rushed him. In a reflex motion I drew and the arrow struck the tom in the head. Now it was over. I had my turkey. A nice tom with a 9" beard and plenty of good meat for a turkey dinner. As I picked him up to go the rains started to fall.

Last Saturday Rick Stillman (Fletcher) and I went down to the United Bowhunters of Illinois' annual "Bowfish and BBQ Bash", at Rend Lake, near Benton, Illinois. If you've never been... good people, good food, unlimited shooting opportunities, GREAT TIME!
We did most of our shooting in the Big Muddy River, below the dam. You could shoot gar down there until your arm fell off, plus there's commons, buffalo, dogfish, and of course, these babies...

My brother and Dad had done all the pre-hunt work- running the bait and all. All I had to do was show up and hunt (with a tight schedule and 3 days to hunt, this was great!). Well, on my first morning in the stand this smaller blonde phase bear came in. He fooled around for a little while and finally posed broadside at just under 15 yards. I really don't remember drawing to shoot, but I did see the arrow disappear right where I was looking. As the bear was running away I could see the blood shooting out both sides of his chest so I knew it wouldn't take long... and sure enough just as he turned out of sight at 50 yards he came cartwheeling down the steep hill. What a feeling! It was an incredible experience. To top it all off my brother Mike was right there, catching it all on video.
For the hunt I used a custom GrizzlyBows 3 piece take-down longbow, 55# at 28". I was shooting GrizzlyBows Arrows as well, tapered laminated birch tipped with razor sharp 190 gr. grizzlies for a total arrow wt of 720 gr. It was unbelievable how quick that arrow zipped through the bear and stuck in the ground on the other side- A true testament to how effective a longbow can be if it is built right and tuned correctly with some heavy arrows.
Not a large bear, but being my only bear it sits at #1 in my book! Besides, taking this bear served as icing on the cake for a weekend of hunting with my favorite crew- My dad Mike and my brothers Steve, Mike, and Dan. Truly a hunt to remember.

Post by: RySanpei on June 21, 2007, 02:42:00 AM
I would have to say that the Axis Deer would be my favorite to eat! It's my favorite to eat but the hardest to shoot! I had to belly crawl about 200 yards to get a 25 yard shot on that buck! Next would be the boar, Love to eat smoked pork and pork sausage. Then would be the sheep and last would be the goat. The goats are the easiest to hunt, but rank last in my favorite eating list!

Do you have to hop islands to hunt the different species or do you hunt one island? Do you ever hunt turkeys in your adventures there?
I have a piece of Koa I am getting ready to incorporate into a bow. Have you ever had any experience working with Koa that might help me look out for something I might not expect as far as gluing problems...
Good hunting,
Charles
Post by: RySanpei on June 22, 2007, 02:12:00 PM
Charles, yes I have to fly to the different islands to hunt. I live on Oahu and we only have goats and pigs here. The feral sheep and goats were shot on the island of Hawaii, and the axis deer were shot on Molokai. The pigs were shot on the island that I live on.
We do have turkeys and other game birds on the islands, but I've never hunted for them though.
Sorry I've never worked with Koa myself, but I did send a piece to a friend and he said that he had to impregnate the wood with resin when he used it in his riser. Selfbow or laminated? I'll try to get you more info about the wood. I'll send you a pm if I can find out more.

Vinnie, This year I hunted with my Black Widow, Thunderhorn, Centaur, and Dalaa. All of my bows range from 50 to 55 pounds @ 25 inches. My draw length is 25.5 inches. I've been using footed Beman mfx and st axis arrows. My arrows weigh about 9 grains per inch. One thing that I did try this year was that I switched to standard Muzzy four blades, the one with the trocar tip. I do sharpen the trocar tips. I've got complete pass throughs on every animal this year, except on two of my biggest boars.

I used this snakey osage selfbow I made a few months ago, cedar arrows and zwickey eskimos.
I saw much bigger bears but I found this one feeding his way up this stream (blackberries). I got within 10 yards and he presented the perfect shot. The Zwickey came about 8" out the other side. The bear shot up a tree right beside me and died about 30ft up the tree. From the time I shot and the time he was dead was about 15 or 20 seconds, that was the fastest I have ever seen an animal bleed out. That was probably the most action packed 20 seconds I have seen in a long time.

got a ruffed grouse witht the longbow Saturday morning. First blood for my new to me Sky Bow.
Post by: Titan_Bow on September 06, 2007, 12:24:00 PM
I built this little bow early this spring out of necessity, because I couldn't shoot any other bows I had out of my turkey blind that my wife bought me. The bow ended up being 54" long, and pulls just over 55lbs at 28. I did shoot a turkey with it this spring but after an exhaustive search, I was unable to find the bird. Feeling a little bummed about it, I put the bow up and continued shooting my Strunk yew longbow. Well, a few months ago, I picked the bow back up, and was amazed at how good I was shooting it. I had some good hunts coming up this year, so thought, what the heck, lets take "Little Shorty" out.
Adventure number 1 -- I backpacked about 4 and a half miles into the Holy Cross Wilderness area early Saturday morning for a few days of deer and elk hunting. I had not actually been in this section before, and was not sure how the hike in was. Everything about this area is RUGGED! The hike in consisted of the first 2.8 miles being straight up. I left the truck at 10,000ft and ended up at the pass I crossed over at 12,600ft. After crossing the pass, it opened up to miles of Colorado high country with not a hunter or hiker in site (and this is Labor Day weekend). On Sunday, I spotted two mulies feeding in a draw up above timber. I got a good look at them, and they were both monster bucks! I had the wind right and started my stalk. When I peeked up over the edge of the draw, the bucks were 50 yards away, and totally unaware. as the bucks fed away from me, I made a move to get to some cover, and WHAM!! one of the bucks spots me, and they are gone! I only needed 20-25 yards but it wasn't in the cards that day. Anyways, it was well worth the effort, and that was the first time I've seen deer of that caliber outside of Rocky Mountain National Park, or in a backyard in Boulder, LOL. Monday morning, I jumped a group of cow elk way down in the dark timber. One of the larger cows stood broadside looking at me at 25yards. I slowly got an arrow nocked and started to bring my bow up. The cow just stood there looking at me. I ended up just watching her for 30 seconds or so before she bust out. I could have made the shot, but there is no way I could of got her out of there that day and been at work Tuesday morning. It was probably 6 miles from the trailhead with a 2000ft elevation gain straight up out of there. If it had been the first day, I wouldn't have hesitated. All in all, 2 real opportunities in 3 days of hunting, well that ain't bad Wink
Adventure number 2 will continue next week. I have a bighorn ewe tag in Colorado's famed Georgetown area, S-32. Unfortunately, I couldnt make it for the opener today due to work obligations, but I'm going to be up there from Friday until the season closes on the 19th. Hopefully, "Little Shorty" will finally get a chance to make meat !!

Started out as a walk in the woods/squirrel hunt and ended up taking a nice ground hog. Put the leather grip on "Miss Fender Bender" this morning and she takes game off the same farm I cut the tree on. Pretty happy with the nice skin and behavior of my bow.

We walked in the old logging road to a mound of dirt I knew could be used as a tripod for a morning pic right where Doug and I usually split up. I kid you not, as I was setting up the camera, just moments before this pic, a bear came out of a tree not 30 yards from us.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/terry/dougnme.jpg)
Here's another pic of Doug on a pretty mountain slope...
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/terry/doug1.jpg)
Here's a really big white oak...take note of the 'strange bark pattern'....that's what a tree looks like when bears climb it year after year.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/terry/tree1.jpg)
Pattern and fresh claw marks farther up...
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/terry/tree2.jpg)
Bears take the path of least resistance....here's the same tree and the 'divide'. This tree has an uphill lean, and the bears alway climb this easy side, notice how the bark patterns change as the left side has been smoothed out over the years....

It was a trip home for me so a few of the days were spent visiting family also. I got to hunt with my older brother, my favorite hunting partner!
This is the Panhandle National Forest between Lake Coeur d'Alene and Lake Pend Oreille.
We hunted for six days and the first thing we did each day was climb 2,000-3,000 ft of the steepest brushiest terain around just to get to the Elk. Then you can start hunting.
We found a nice shed, one of the big boys we were chasin.
Had a little time to fish, caught a nice little Steelhead.
Enjoy. Take care,

All the nuts were gone at that time so I resolved to get back in there the following year in the early season. This year found us in there for a scout and sure enough they were coming down and the deer were all over them.
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e270/fflynn1/100_2537.jpg)
If you look carefully in the picture (taken from stand) you can see the grove of trees as there are two parallel rows. I am not sure if they were planted on an old farm or if it was done for wildlife long ago. Either way this grove is in the middle of a several hundred acre woodlot.
My brother and I had made one mistake when we were scouting though. We did not mark or bright eye our way to the stand :banghead: .
As you can see in this picture it is very thick and a long walk from where we park to get to this area. I was very fortunate to not only to find this area again but to also find the exact tree that we thought would be good. This picture is taken from the stand facing the direction the deer would hopefully approach from.

I thought it would take me a long time to find my way in the dark so I was setup pretty early. It was a nice early fall morning with 50 degree temps and clear skies.
At around 7:25 I was able to make out the body of a deer about 40 yards away. I watched as it meandered through the grove in my direction. As it cleared the brush I could see that is was a forkhorn. I knew I was not interested in shooting a forkie so I hoped he would wander off without getting my wind. There would be no such luck and he ended up 12-15 away over my left shoulder exactly in the spot in this picture.
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e270/fflynn1/100_2539.jpg)
He was okay there but eventually ended up too close to my tree and got my wind. He bounded away and proceeded to blow for a couple minutes warning everybody about the guy in the tree.
About 20 minutes later I picked out another body and hoped that it would follow the same path that the forkhorn did. Sure enough it slowly meandered its way through the trees and wound up in the same spot as the forkhorn just off my left shoulder.
I picked a spot and let the string fall from my fingers. The arrow hit just where I was looking and I listened as the deer crashed through the brush and came to a stop.
I called my hunting partners who also happen to be my brothers. Neither were hunting at the time but both graciously came out to help with the dragging and transport.
Good ol long nose. Great way to start a season!

Last year I did try it a few times, and had a couple of close encounters, but no shots. This year I wanted to make even more of an effort, and last night, on my first trip to the whitetail woods for the season, I connected with a nice doe.
She passed at less than 10 yards, and caught me when I started my draw. But after a brief glance my way, she continued on her path without another thought. Apparantly the ghillie did its job.

I moved it up to a spot with muscadines and persimmons on the edge of a clearcut. I've been waiting for a south wind to hunt it and got one yesterday. I had 6 does and two decent bucks broadside, witin 15 yards in the span of 2 hours. GREAT spot!
It's early in the season, I'm not ready to educate them to that tree just yet.......stay tuned...

Congrats on that opening day baldy! Took my son out last night for our first hunt of the year. Saw 2 squirrels, 2 coons, and one deer. It didn't wander down our trail to the oak ridge we were "guarding". Maybe tonight- a bit warm, but better than sitting at home!

Finally the temps are going down around here so I figured I'd get out this morning. Decided to sit the junction blind 'cause I had shot a big buck here a few years back under similar conditions. About 6:20 I saw a nice doe but she never came in close enough for a shot. At about 10:30 I figured it would only take me about an hour to hike home and make some lunch. So I took a few pics of the blind I just sat in all morning. Hopefully the hollow blind will have some action this afternoon. Maybe I'll bring a few of my small game arrows and score like Bowfire did. :thumbsup:

Black Widow MAV 64" 56 @30" . 55/75 GT 175 Gr. Grizzly BH. Deer was walking at steady pace and I didn't account for it well enough. Shot was back in the liver. Still only went about 150 yds. Sparse blood trail to follow ( I'm not liking these Grizzlys). My best buck yet with the bow.

You say he went 150 yards. I started using a little trick every time I shoot a deer. Just as soon as the arrow has hit the deer and they start to take off I loudly mouth grunt two or three times. They have seldom traveled more than 30 yards before they stop and look for the sound. I guess they think another buck has poked them.

About 6:15 I saw a group of does heading down the trail in front of my stand. They were moving right along and I wasn't quite sure at first if there was a shooter but the lead doe looked to be pretty long in the snout. :)
The doe stopped in my shooting lane I had lots of time to draw and focus on the spot. The arrow blew right through but hit high and back. I didn't like the shot placement too well at all but she headed in a direction where I could watch her pretty well and within 60 yards and about 1 minute soon she was down.
I was shooting a 50# Super Shrew with Carbon Express 150s, 100gr insert and 150gr Woodsman. I hit the bottom of the cartilidge where the ribs meet the backbone and it curled that Woodsman up pretty good(sharpened to a needle point). I missed the liver but got the top of the off side lung. I was happy to have a heavier arrow for this shot than my normal cedar and 125gr Woodsman.

I'm out of vacation time but I slipped down to southern Georgia for a day in the swamps with my TBG friends on an unofficial group hunt, searching for hogs and deer. I spent more time driving to/from than hunting, and I'll have to work tomorrow to compensate, but it was worth it. As usual, my friend RC didn't disappoint and showed me some honey holes along the river...
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/SCJeff/GA/P1010384.jpg)
This man can hunt and is very successful on public land, which we were hunting! If he ever offers to take you hunting, you would do well to accept the offer. I was happy to breath in the fresh air after a welcome rain, hear the sounds of the lowcountry, and see the palmettos and huge cypress trees...
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/SCJeff/GA/P1010385.jpg)
We saw some turkeys, a few deer but nothing close, and had 3 chances at putting a hog or two in the cooler. Early RC pushed a young boar to me from a small river island, but standing shots have been challenging for me lately so I didn't even consider shooting as it charged past me. Later we had a group of about a dozen porkers feeding towards us, but a stray breeze foiled us near this bottom..
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/SCJeff/GA/P1010390.jpg)
We ended the day by spooking one last boar while searching for Indian pottery fragments in an overgrown foodplot. What a short but sweet hunt!

Got settled in about 4:50. Watched a fox stalk some squirrels while things calmed back to normal. Then about 5:05 I softly grunted two times. Not a minute later a nice 8 point materializes out of the thick stuff about 50 yards away.
He walks toward me about 10 yards then stops under a white oak to suck up some acorns. After about 3 or 4 minutes he resumes heading my way then suddenly veers off. I quicky fish the grunt call back out of my jacket and give a couple of soft toots. That straightens him out and suddenly he's moving through my shooting lanes. A 22 yard shot with the old recurve passes through him taking out both lungs and the top of his heart. He tears off and a few seconds later I hear him crash. Wait about 15 minutes then find him after following a 120 yard blood trail a blind hippie could follow.
I was a little bit more excited about the whole thing than my grandaughter, Cadence.

After I finished working up the buck I wrote about a few posts back, I contemplated on what to do with the rack. I decided they were just about the right size for a set of rattlin’ antlers. So today, after a morning shower allowed me to close the business at noon I hustled home, whacked the antlers off the buck's head, got my clothes changed and gear together, grabbed my new set of “rattlers” and headed for the woods.
The wind was blowing I’d say about 15. A little windy for good rattling success, but knowing I had nothing to lose, about 4:00 I beat them together. Nothing responded.
About 5:00 I tried again. I had only hung the horns up for maybe 3 minutes when I saw a nice 8 point coming through the woods at a fair pace. True to form for rattled in bucks he came right up to my stand, stopped and stood there looking for the action. Down to my last buck tag and realizing the deer had the potential to be a real bruiser someday, I decided to pass on the 8 yard standing broadside shot.
After a half a minute or so he started to move off. However, I guess he was still wanting a fight or to at least watch one because he only made a short loop and came right back in again, this time stopping broadside at 12 yards. Enough already! I figured the Lord must be wanting me to shoot this deer. So I shot him. A picture perfect double-lunger. After following another copious blood trail for 90 yards he was mine. Kinda cool to kill him by rattling him in with the antlers of a buck I shot just 2 days before.
Cadence still hasn’t caught Pop-Pops’s excitement.

Here in SO Cal. he is a monster, we just don't have giant deer here.
But we make do, this is a black tail, they call it a Pacific Hybrid.
Post by: Kingwouldbe on November 04, 2007, 11:28:00 AM
I think if they do smell it, it dose not scare them, it's just smoke.
But I always hunt the wind, It is funny though and I can tell which way the wind is going all the time.

Post by: rideandhunt on November 09, 2007, 08:48:00 PM
I shot a nice tall 8pt from the ground tonight. He was quartering away pretty hard. I hit him in back of lungs/liver area. Arrow went in about 7-8 in. Should be good. I heard him run off and then stop. No crash. I backed out and went to work. I hope I find him in morning to boost my recurve's confidence level.
Starting to wonder about myself... I shot and found 6 deer with recurve so far this year. I know I shouldn't be feeling this way. I just don't know why a 60lb recurve with 390grain arrow and razor sharp magnus stinger won't punch through. It did on my other deer i shot.
It makes me sick to think of wounding a deer. i'll try to post a picture tommorow if I find him.
Post by: matthewp on November 09, 2007, 08:49:00 PM
At first light, a doe came running through with a nice buck hot on her heels. The buck was growling like crazy. Then about 15 minutes later, this buck came to check out what all of the commotion was about. I shot him at 15 yards through his lungs and through the heart. He was quartering slightly away. He ran about 100 yards before he expired.
I am very proud of this buck. I put a lot of effort into scouting this property, hanging stands, and glassing this summer. All of the effort was more than worth it.

This is normally my turkey blind bow but I have been shooting so well that I decided to use it for this trip.
8 point, 132lb dressed. Hunting from a tree stand in some cedars and locust along a CRP grass field and plum thickets. Saw several small bucks and some doe when this buck came across a opening with two smaller bucks. I used a grunt call twice and they took a line that would put them just 15yds from my stand.
Waited until the big one stepped behind a cedar and drew. When he appeared, it was all automatic. Took him in the near shoulder, through the heart and broke the leg bone on the exit side. Ran 20 yds and fell within site.
It is great to hunt with friends and icing on the cake when you score and they can be there to share it.

I'm still hoping to get out there but it's not looking good. Even though I live on huntable land I haven't had the chance to even scout it this year. First time in 20 years I might not get a deer. The fire service owns me right now and will through out the rest of the season. :(

The stone tip performed above my expectations. As you can see there was no damage to the point. It broke a rib going in, broke a rib just behind the right shoulder, and stopped in the back of the shoulder. I was a little worried when I didn't get an exit hole on the off side because I had a high entry wound, but after seeing the wound I think the flint tips rip a larger hole than a razor sharp steel broadhead. The little buck bled well out of the top entry wound.
Jeff,
I hope you can make it next year. This was my fourth year in a row and this is a hunt I'll do annually without a doubt. Let me know once you decide and you can join our camp.

This is my first attempt at adding a photo. Shot this buck in Kansas with a 45# Damon Howatt Hi-Speed. I hurt my shoulder this fall and couldn't shoot any of my heavier bows so I borrowed this 45# bow from my son. I found that 2018 shafts flew pretty well from it. Used a STOS broadhead and got a pass-through. Jim

Oct. 8 I was sitting on a center pivot in the middle of a 1/2-mi. circle of standing corn. There's a 1/4-mi. swath of marshy grass maybe 30-50 yards wide that extends from about 3 o'clock on the east to the center pivot which also includes an overgrown access lane. We had lots of rain from mid-summer on so the pivot didn't get much use and neither did the lane going in.
Anyway, I was sitting on the pivot because the evening before I'd been sitting on the second leg out and saw a bachelor group of bucks come out of the corn and start posturing/sparring, etc. near the pivot. I got down and stalked to within 25 yards of all 5, the largest being a 110" 4x5 that was safe from me. But it was cool being that close to five bucks acting fairly cocky.
Well the following evening I didn't see much at all but about sundown a nice 4x5 with decent mass and long brows came out back down by the 2nd pivot (maybe 80 yards away). He eventually was likely to get downwind and/or cut my entry trail anyway so I figured I had nothing to lose by trying a stalk. But it was really quiet, so I went a bunch of rows into the corn and then headed his direction, planning to come out on the second pivot track...(to be continued next post).
Here's a picture of me and my girls on an early season hunt from a buddy stand. Sure enough a couple dink bucks showed up but no does...

Post by: Wary Buck on November 28, 2007, 05:00:00 PM
...Anyway, it was way too quiet to be stalking and as I neared the second pivot track I knew the buck (if he was still there) had to know something was in the corn. So I occasionally grunted and also began pulling on ears of corns like you might hear a feeding deer do. But doing this at a slow pace meant I was running out of shooting light and by the time I reached the pivot track, I probably had 10 minutes left or so. I was maybe 30 rows away from the grassy lane area (not the grassy knoll), and continued my strategy of trying to sound like a deer. I was maybe 10 yards from the edge when I could see corn stalks moving maybe 4 yards away from me, just off the pivot track. I froze, waited, pulled a corn ear, waited, and after maybe 60 seconds HE stepped into the pivot track but immediately bolted out into the grassy area.
I figured the gig was up, but that it was very cool to have been that close to a nice buck. I tiptoed down the pivot track and I'll be darned if he hadn't stopped out there on the lane and was looking back to see just what the heck was still in the corn. I was maybe 3-4 rows still from the edge, but there was a narrow gap and if I leaned forward and began my draw, the upperbowstring pulled back an obstruction and I lined up and let her go.
Definitely heard what sounded like a good hit. Blood found on the site, 60 yards later I'm standing over a fairly heavy and gnarly 127"ish 4x5. All my kills are memorable, but this was one that will be hard to forget.
Pronghorn longbow, Woodsman head, Sitka Gear...

Also had a couple lucky encounters with turkeys. First one was Oct. 29 as I was sneaking into my deer stand I surprised a group of four toms and drilled this guy in the back as they departed. Guessing he was about 18 lbs. Same gear as before, Pronghorn longbow, Woodsman head, Sitka Gear.
(http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o94/WaryBuck/07BWLFallTurkey.jpg)
Then on Thanksgiving Day, as the post-feast BSing began to slow down, I decided a quick 90-minute hunt (trying for a doe) was better than a nap and lucked out on an 18.6 lb. tom with two beards from my tree stand.

Still at it on my second buck tag but not overly optimistic. Have some doe-killing to do as well with one month to go.

Sitka in the cold? I just add a layer of Winona between the inner layers and the vest/90% jacket on the outside. The 90% coat is VERY quiet and its slender design makes for a sleek bow arm (some don't even use an arm guard). I'm hopeful for a Sitka insulative layer maybe by next year.

I took this coyote out of the same tree about 3 weeks later. He came by moving some deer, looked at me, then coninued past on a trot at 17 yards. The lung shot resulted in the first animal I took with this bow I made for myself.

A day to get in touch with the past. While I was dragging out a deer I had taken with a homemade broadhead, I found a very unusual arrowhead. It has two perfect notches on one side. There purpose I have know idea. What would we give to know the story behind the arrowheads we find?

We had exactly ONE DAY of snow all last year in eastern Nebraska during bow season. And it was Dec. 31--the last day of the season. Would've felt guilty not hunting the last day of the season, so went out and stalked and killed a doe at last light in a picked bean field (okay, there was a waterway/cane strip down the middle that I used as cover) wearing snow camo. Killing does can be as exciting as you want to make it!

I ended up with a good size list made up of both things I should have left at home and things that I should have brought. I had wonderful camp sites, caught trout for supper, & made some wonderful new friends that made my trip a lot less hardcore by giving me GREAT food.
I climbed up 15' into live oak tree and shot the hog while straddling a limb in a yoga position. And lured them to my tree by smaking bits of bark on the palmettos around my tree. They eventually couldnt resist it.

This buck (My biggest to date) was a long time coming for me here in the hard hunted woods of PA and to take it with the very first shot from my recurve on the very first day I ever carried it into the woods .....is something I will not soon forget! :cool:
I guess I'm one of those odd guys who can embrace both ends of the technology spectrum as a rep for a major compound manufacturer.(shhhh ;) )
I bought this bow (what amounts to my dream bow for many many years) right here on the Tradgang.com classifieds in March of this year and felt there might be a little karma from the start.
I guess I was right, and after months of serious hard practice and devoting the entire archery season to stick and string (knowing full well I would be limiting my shots and might pass routine compound opportunities), I was rewarded with the trophy of a lifetime.
Thanks for allowing me to share.
The buck scores 149 5/8" gross as a 13pt (busted G2 on his left side or he'd probably break 155")and sports a 21" inside spread.
The bow is a 62# Black Widow SA V , and I used a 220gr Muzzy Phantom on a GT Traditional to make the 23yard shot.

If anyone is wondering about the buck's eyes: He died with his head pressed against that log which closed his left eye, and his right has a ring of warty tumors encircling it. I said he was big I didn't say he was pretty. :D

He might as well have been public land. The farm I hunt gets POUNDED in rifle season and my stand is literally 50 yards away from state game lands.
cajun, you be quiet. :)

It was funny, when I told my friends that I was going to hunt the entire PA season with my recurve some of them asked the question "So what are you going to do when a Giant buck walks out and you wish you had your compound?"
I guess now we know. :bigsmyl:
Thanks again guys!

Hey Matt. Congrats again on the deer. I think you just wanted your eye to match his.Thanks Talondale (it's amazing how many guys split time between these sites. LOL)
It is sort of ironic that I bashed up MY eye when you look at that deer. "An eye for an eye" I guess. ;)

It's an old Buddy & Jim 21st Century bow. I also shoot a Dave Dowell bow which is quieter and faster, but I have so much faith in my old 21st Century that I hunt with it most of the time. It originally was 71#, but now after being shot almost daily for years and being refinished, it is down to 64#. I wish it was a little less.

This blood-thirsty beast was one of many taken over the summer with a 65# longbow and homemade poplar arrow. Tip was a pistol casing, if I recall correctly...

I hope we get some shots. Two shots were missed friday. Maybe it will be my turn for a shot.
I'll post a pic if I get one. I really enjoyed this thread.I read 32 pages of it tonight.. :campfire:

These were the only deer I saw walking.The first doe was heading right to the other guy,Mike,so I let it walk and was getting ready to shoot the second one.Just then the first doe stopped right in front of Mike at about 15 yards.
Whack,he drills this doe,and I see the arrow blow through. Of course this spooked the deer I was going to shoot,but I had a good feeling because I knew Mike had the deer he needed.

About the second week of the deer season this year i relocated my stand next to the top of the mountain. I went up there the next day and sat till 0830hrs and decided to get down because that stand kills my back. I went to the very top of the mountain," which is national forest that boarders my property" I walked about 250yds or so once i was on the top where the landscape is gently rolling and wider than a football field.
I noticed a rub line as walked out the top traveling north and saw something of in front of me about 100yds. It was a nice little buck feeding in a little hollow. I watched him for about 15mins and then lost sight of him. I got my leupolds out and started looking for him in hopes he'd travel my way. I found him about 20mins later,WALKING RIGHT TO ME! I ducked down and crawled to an oak tree that three poeple couldn't reach around. I watched him off to the left side aproaching me at 25yds..
I was already on my knee's and lost him again. I then guessed him to come around the right side of the tree, I was right! His head popped out 5yds from me and as he stepped out from behind the tree i didn't even make it to full draw!
Upon my release the zwiky eskamo tipped 3555GT went through both lungs! I watched him run back the way he came and go over the step side of the mountain on our farm.
I walked to the edge and jumped him up! D%#^@, That was a rookie thing for me to do, but after watching the shot i felt he was down. I went back and went down the trail and found him strait down 40yds from where i'd last seen him last.
I've shot deer from a tree stand almost that close but this was a first for me on the ground from five yds.
I used a SA11 46#@28" 58" bow.
Oh, he was a five pointer. :campfire: :archer:
