I was afraid I was going to see a 'Kenny gone wild' promotional advertisement ;) ! Good luck man!
Good luck Kenny! I'm off as well next week... Great "Kennys" think alike!
:thumbsup:
Thanks guys!! Good luck to all of you also!! :thumbsup:
Kenny,
Good luck to ya and I myself will get a few mornings in during the rut here...I have days scattered out to take vacation time and I'll be blessed just to sit in the woods with the bow for a few days to see and smell the Autumn leaves as they drift to the ground and lay a new blanket on the forest floor and maybe hear that scuffling of leaves when a deer slowly makes its way to me... :campfire:
Is it the 13th yet????
Best of luck, Kenny.
Good hunting Kenny!!!
Hope you do well, is "Lucky Charms" in the mix?
Thanks guys!
He could be in the gun portion, my other hunting area has several gunners. But.... if Terry can't take him, I'll just watch him and save lookin for my arras!! :D
I think this is him about a month agoat about 8-9 yds, I instinctively didn't even try him.... :cool:

Thanks for taking the time to post, Kenny.
Good luck and I'll definitely be tuning in each day.
Best of luck to you Kenny!
Good luck Kenny. Ill be off Nov 5 - 11th.
Good luck Kenny, I got problems at work to, hoping to get a few days off before rifle season.
Went tonite, had 2 does and a utility vehichle in range. Only thing was the does were scootin away from the uv. No pics, maybe next time I can get a pic of the uv! LOL
Good luck with your hunt Kenny! It's always fun to see your pictures.

Got a hunt in last nite, no rut activity except a broke horned 6 pt and a really energetic spike who chased every doe in Linn Co last nite!! He came by me at least a halfdozen times!
Finally I saw a deer about 400 yds off in a standing beanfield. Closer look showed it to be a doe, but as I scanned the edge of the weedpatch she was by.....antlers- BIIGG ANTLERS!! :scared:
Then he stood up and casually walked to the creek and disappeared....... :pray:
Which way would he go?? :pray: :pray:
I'm thinking within bow range :)
Keep it coming... :campfire:
This I found whilst sneakin to my stand 50 yds from the creek....

Then does and fawns filtered past, my perch was working the SE wind just right, after it passed me, it lifted over the creek timber. I love stands where the deer can be downwind and have no clue.....

And one of the brokeracked little buck, who gave many demonstrations on what a 1.5 yr old buck sounds like grunting.....

Looks like a mighty fine area you're hunting there. Maybe you can break Lucky Charms run of good luck. Good luck to you sir!
Charlie
Good luck, thanks for sharing.
Ahh, I'm about 8 miles from Ol lucky! I only hunt the lease a little during gun and after everyone else is done for the most part!!
As it turned out, the big 10 came out of the creek and went right across the beans in the open, guess thats how he is livin large. LOL
The other 2 bucks that showed up by him came down the beanfield along the creek, casually sniffed a couple does and eased on by me at 50 yds.
Told bro the better one could probably have tempted me to shoot, bout a 130" 8 pt. But, I'd already seen ol Gramps out there, so I didn't try to call them in. Let them decide their destiny and they picked the right path......
Best of luck to you Kenny. I am off until the 15th here.
I actually had a 180" class buck bed 60 yards from me two days ago and stayed bedded there for 5 1/2 hours! The calls would get his attention, but he wouldn't come in. He finally got up after several naps, and strolled out of my life... for that day anyway!
No more wound up than these were, I didn't wanna try callin just yet. As long as they don't know I'm around, there will be better opps to get in on em.....
BTW, my bro saw one of the others we'd like to get close to at 15 yds from his pickup,buck was under a cedar tree on a field road, thought he was invisible!! LOL
He is a 10 with twin stickers about 3-4" on both G2s that angle forward bout halfway up.....
Oh yeah, had to work today and tomorrow , but WILL take off Magic Wednesday, seems to be the day up here that bucks go crazy, even the big ones!!
Wed. before gun seems to break everything loose!
Good luck Kenny!
Bought my MO licence today. See you the 21st.
Bring it on David! :bigsmyl:
Off work tomorrow, will be an all dayer!!
Weather looks great, Northerly wind, 34 low, 55 high. Hope the does are gettin ready!! Gotta go get my rattlin antlers from shed so I don't forget em!! YEE-HAW!! :bigsmyl:
Good luck Kenny!
Thanks Jason, You doin any good on the himile huntin yet?
Sharp looking bow Kenny. Do it proud!!!!
Good luck Kenny. I'll be out half the day tomorrow.
Things are finally happening!! The hunters on the lease got into the bucks yesterday and today! They were wound up!! Nothing killed but very exciting!!
From the stand, I've seen 3 bucks this morning. First was still pretty dark, big body and good rack, was very dark in timber so I didn't try to call him in with me, figured he would eat me out before it got light nuff to shoot. Next was a good 8, he sneaked in behind me and spotted me. I froze til he grunted and walked off, he was about 35 yds. Last ws a small 8 , went by at bout 30. Be back later!! :pray:
Good luck everyone!
Thanks to Miss Sandy, my two weeks of "rut" vacation, which was supposed to start this past Monday, has been put on hold. We still don't have power back....its been out since the afternoon of October 29th.
Once this Nor'easter passes through, I'm done with work for a week or so.....power or no power! My deer processor still doesn't have power either and I'm on a generator, but I hope to be cutting up a deer or two by whatever light I can get available. Gotta be positive!!!
:campfire:
Saw two bucks this morning. They finally seem to be moving on the property I hunt. New scrapes and rubs are popping up. I'll be out again tomorrow morning.
Hayslope, hope you get stuff back to normal soon!!
I've seen 2 more small bucks, some does and eleven gobblers who almost got in the clear enuff to try one!
Rattled in a fork and a nice buck bout 1:00, course the fork came right in and the bigger one got nervous and went back in the swamp.......
Stay on`m Kenny.RC
I ended up seeing either 9 or 10 bucks in my all day sit. It is just hard to tell forkhorns apart, saw 3 ,but two of em coulda been the same one maybe.
Rattled another good one in about 4:00 when I saw him about 150 yds out and leaving. He just didn't commit either, they act like they have had their butt kicked before......
Probably 5 of em out of the 9 or 10 I would have taken had it all worked out.
So all in all a great day, gotta work tomorrow, but will hit it one last time Friday before the guns pop Saturday.
I'll be out again tomorrow morning. Had a good morning today. If I can't make it happen tomorrow morning that will be about it for my bow season. Not much luck once the guns pop off for almost 30 days straight.
Reports from guys all over Missouri are telling me that it all broke loose yesterday. Big bucks hard chasing does all over.
Unfortunately it is about to be in the 70's this weekend...
Yeah.....I'm here..... :D
You hunting Kenny's lease Terry??
Missed opening morning of gun due to stuff...
Sat eve found me in a stand very close to a lane that runs in to 2 houses. Not long after I arrived, I had a 6 pt behind me in the thick, but he didn't smell me even tho downwind!
Great, the stand location is workin the wind!
About sunset, a buck materialized from the thick maples 30 yards straight in front of me. Good buck!! I made it to my feet in time and figured he would cross the ditch and give me a broadside at 15 yards.
Nope, he didn't read the playbook, and came up the ditch bottom headon and passed my stand at 15.......
inches! :D
Then went on behind me into the thick stuff, and stood awhile. This should be the true test if the wind is workin. Then he idled up the ditch bottom that I came down(carefully not touching any brush) and went on.
He was a 130ish 8pt , but he had g2 and g3 on right side broken off at the main beam! So he had an eye guard and a main beam on that side. I'd like to see the dude that snapped those off, he is a heavyhorned brute.
And so another hunt ends with tag in pocket.... :bigsmyl:
I'm off work tomorrow, and if the rain stops, I'll be somewhere tonite! Hang on, I may shoot sumpin yet... :goldtooth:
So here I am this windy afternoon, I put up a new stand this morning, using recon from a trusted fellow longbow hunter who has been playing guide for a young hunter . Has seen a couple good ones thru here in evenings,I will be here til dark or sumpin comes by......... :pray: :goldtooth:
Well, we are waiting?? :campfire:
Come on Kenny.... we're rootin for ya :)
:coffee:
Well, I kinda blew it. Had a good 8 pt come by at 3:00, been shooting high with this bow, so was tellin myself to hold low. Any guesses where i shot?
Next time, no thinking allowed, just shoot the damn deer!
Dang!!!!!!!
Yep, perfect behind leg, just 4-5" too low!!
My brain is a dangerous thing to use! :laughing:
Yea I know.... the grey is startin to grow in with me... thinkin is painful :knothead:
:laughing:
Kenny! You want me to show you how to shoot your bows? Stay on em bud. Plenty of time left.
Hang in there Kenny. We all have misses. You'll connect.
No doubt its the bow. Box it up and send it to the swamp. Would`nt want a Buddy to hunt with a bow that missed..lol.stay on`m Brother.RC
I'm back home and gettin ready to head out again. Comp time from the Friday before gun when I shoulda been out there! LOL
Dave, I may need some pointers, I'm out of practice, first arrow of the year at game. Well, second but the other one is a long story and I ain't got time right now, the deer are rutting!
Thanks guys!! I love this stuff! :bigsmyl:
I did find this on the walk in...
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/kennym/SANY0142-2.jpg)
Looks like a good omen.
Called a nice 10 in tonite to 35 yds, but he crossed where I walked in and didn't like me that well. Didn't spook , just walked back out in hayfield and watched. Maybe didn't smell me, just couldn't locate the deer he thought oughta be there.
Then a BIG 8 pt chased a doe around in the brush 60 yds out in front of me, but she led him across the open field and away to some waiting gunners who slung lead for a while. Couldn't see the results , but assume they missed, he was about 400 yds from their position and never saw em head down to look.
Goin to a different place in AM to see whats goin on there.... :)
Get em Kenny!!
Stay with it Kenny you connect
I'm after em, but things just don't work sometimes! Still havin an absolute blast!
Has to be the most fun you can have with clothes on!! :p
???
