Michigan Whitetails

Dave Pagel · November 17, 2011, 04:29:00 PM

It has been a good Michigan whitetail season for me, probably my best.

October 22, 54# Talltines, 3555 GT Trad, 200 grain VPA, 18 yard shot. I had changed into tracking clothes because I knew I hit shoulder, but she only went 100 yards.

November 12, 53# Silvertip, 3555 GT Trad, 200 grain VPA. Rattled the buck in from over 300 yards and let him go by me for a 6 yard quartering shot. Entered near the last rib and came out in the opposite pit. 100 yards and he was down in sight. The doe came in with 3 friends 20 minutes later. 10 yard broadside shot and down in 20 yards.

November 13, 54# Talltines, autumn orange 1918, Wensel Woodsman. 12 yard shot and down in 75 yards.

Probably won't get out again until the December hunts, but that is just fine!

Congratulations Dave - love the Michigan success stories. Those look like some good size does - did you weigh any of them? Where are you hunting?

Nicley done Dave.

I still have my work cut out for me, especially since the 15th. has begun! I would say good luck in the rest of your season but.... pretty sure you dont need it. Awesome job!

Thanks guys.

Bobby, these are Calhoun County. I have a good scale in camp, but I haven't put up a buck pole to hang deer yet so they didn't get weighed. They were good sized, but there a bigger ones around that we see regularly, usually with nostrils flaring and looking up into the trees!

Well Done! You're shooting a couple fine bows there too, how do you choose before a hunt which one gets the call?
