I got my usual immature 8 point, 15 inch whitetail. What I call an "old man's buck" which means it's just big enough not to be embarrassed and just small enough so I don't get a heart attack dragging it back to my truck. Also got a 12 inch antelope buck. I am on a roster for an elk damage control hunt, so I still have a chance for an antlerless elk if they start hitting the ranchers crops.
In the four dAYS I was able to go this year I saw 13 deer four of witch were does and nine of them were bucks most of them were small but the half rack was a decent size deer and then along came an 11 pointer "BOOM" GOT'EM WITH ONE SHOT.
Had a rough year. Located 5 shooters but only was able to cash one in. He was the smallest of the bunch green scored 144 8pt. Missed a whopper of a 10 pt my fault. Came in so dang fast used the wrong yardage and shot 3" over his back. My season is open till the 31st but the others I located have started dropping already so may go out this weekend and shoot a doe or two. Affraid to shoot a good one grab the rack and fall off. Just would not make my day.:no:
I did my part here in pa to harvest a doe. For the first time, I hunted the first whole week of november and saw a pretty nice buck. Either an 8 or 10, he wouldn't come close enough for a count. He was stuck on a doe. I have done some after season scouting with the trail camera, and found that some really nice bucks made it. I am gonna soon start hunting for sheds.
I had a great season with six deer harvested. Saw lot's of deer had some great deer camps with great a great bunch of folks. Had three does and three bucks, two eights and spike I got the first day of bow deason that I thought was a doe. Already making plans for next year.
I Seen Alot Of Does And A Few Small Bucks.had A Nice 8ptr On Camera But My Father In-law Snaged Him Thats Ok.i Seen A Giant Buck Chasing A Doe The Last Day Of The Season But Wouldn't Give Me A Shot Oh Well Maybe Next Year.i Wish Our Season Was A Month Longer.
took 1 doe with the bow a nice 7pt buck with the bow and and another small doe with the rifle.had more tags but didnt have the time to go or a way to get there..:wallbash:
I was lucky enough to get 2 deer this season. A 5 point with my bow. first one with bow, and a nice doe with my shotgun. Had a lot of fun and can't wait for next season.
i only got the one eight pointer this year. decided to wait til the last weekend to take any does! Well my aunt passed away so I not going hunting this weekend. But thats ok I've got alot of hunting years left....
I got this 130 class early in the season and then the day after Thanksgiving watached a 150 class for an hour. We had a rule of only one trophy a year on our land. I may change that next year....
i was able to bag a small basketed 8 pointer on opening morning at about 830...... the rest of the hunting party all got a deer too so my freezer is full for a while.
past up a lot of deer,both gun and bow.dont now why i past them up guess i was enjoying watching them this year.it was great lost my giant of the year still haunts me to this very day.oh well theres allways next year.deer seasons over here in maine.we are rabbiting now.
This was my first season hunting and didn't get into it until almost mid Nov. Went on a 1 day hunt saw 2 does and missed 1 that I shot on, went the day after Thanksgiving and shot a 8 point 165 buck for my first deer, went out twice more and didn't see a thing outside of kicking up some does that last day out on the way to the stand. It was a great first year and I'm looking for clubs in my area so that i'll be ready next season.
I hunted a pay by the day club at $175 per day for a buck day or $120 for a doe day. With a doe day I shot the 8 point and was fined $175 = $295 for that 1 day. For two days of hunting I ended up with $315 out of pocket. I hope to find a club for somewhere around $1000 give or take a few hundred for a year long membership.
