Got a late start bowhunting this year. Didn't get my usual rutcation in early November due to work commitments so decided to take a couple days off during Thanksgiving week to catch the post lockdown movement. Saw some deer through the week, but nothing to get too excited about. Got to Sunday...
Opened 3rd season on Wednesday by tagging a cautious long spurred gobbler. Turned out to be a double beard.
Finished the day by completing a spring slam.
Had a couple of days to hunt for myself before the wife's vacation started on Friday. Wednesday didn't have any birds to work even though there was a group of 17 with 5 mature toms in it when I had set the blind a couple weeks ago as a potential youth season spot. Thursday morning had a tight...
Finally got out with Drew this morning for his youth hunt. Decided not to go Friday morning since he had a golf meet that day. Yesterday was a wash out with the weather here. Wasn't as nice a morning as I'd hoped with the wind putting a damper on the morning turkey talk. No gobbling on the...
Tagged my bird Wednesday evening. After setting up a blind for my brother and I to hunt the following morning went to scout another spot. Spotted some birds in the field and used the nearby creek to get into position. Turned out to be 2 jakes and a mature tom. Took a turkey fan to use for my...
Finally started my season Saturday night. Set up a ground blind in some remaining standing corn in a chopped corn field where I had seen some decent deer when scouting last week. Had a decent 8 come by at 20 yards and a big 10 entered from the other side of the field. They 8 went over and...
Boy got it done again this year. Had something going on every weekend of youth so we didn't make it out. Was finally able to make it out Sunday for our first hunt of the year. Running behind we hurried up and set up a blind but didn't brush it in. Was set up by 5:30, spotted first deer at 6...
Brother and I doubled this morning. Because of the overcast light rain, we didn't hear the first gobble until 5:58 but fortunately they were very close right behind the blind. Gave a couple yelps back and they were interested. They were close enough that they had to be able to see the decoy...
Wife and I both filled our third season tags. Got mine opening morning. Classic off the roost over decoys. 2 toms and 2 hens came running to the decoys after they finished grouping up. Lead tom couldn't stand the sight of a jake standing over a hen
Wife got her bird Friday afternoon. She...
Let's see some pics of your hunts. Our season lasted an hour this morning. Lot's of gobbling this morning and the foggy morning added to the cool atmosphere. We were close to a couple roosted toms but he one the came in travelled a little ways to get there. Had a bachelor group of bucks...
Was able to connect last night. Hit a little back from a sharp downward angle so waited till this morning to recover him. Had a 3.5 yr old 8 push a couple does into the field around 3:30. Once I decided he wasn't a shooter, she proceeded to drag him by my stand 4 times within 20 yds. This...
Boy got a nice one last night. This is his 3rd season hunting and has taken a deer each year, but this by far exceeded what we were after this year. Actually a deer that I've been after last several years but he managed to close the deal where dad has failed. ;) Deer has went down hill a...
