$clapper$ Nice L.P. I haven't been lucky enough to get on a Turkey yet. Had several close, just wasn't ready when they started strolling in and once in view you know its too late to draw and not bust 'em out.
So this week is Fire Prevention and I must spend it at the station. I figure Saturday will be my first chance to get back out. Man it'd been so long since I'd bowhunted I'd for gotten how much I love it!
Good Luck and Good Huntin all! Show us some more Huntin Porn Guys! The Hoser

Nice deer Timmy.
Nugent's game farm???:D
Timmy,You are wasting away to nothing.Nigh Deer.

50 yards with a crossbow?
I guess it qualifies in the "stick and string" category.

I'm useing a Parker Tornado, not to simple. I've missed a fox and a 2nd turkey this season,SO FAR. @ 40yards. Of coarse I have a handicap.Quote:

Howie, I wish I could get that excitement back, I don't even get any adrenaline rush when I have a deer in front of me anymore. This makes hunting only half as much fun.
That's perfectly understandable Timmy. You're older than dirt and have been hunting a long time. I'm only 42, and killed my first deer ever last year during shotgun season. So, the newness of it all is still there for me.
On the serious side, you really don't get excited when you have a shot at one? I hope I never get that way.
Dude, I don't even get an increased heart rate. The Wyoming scene helps me a little because your walking/running before the shot so there is a small rush. I really do get more excited when my bros get one, a lot more excited.Quote:

That is untill 11/07/12, then the downfall of all males took over! He's starting to follow a lady and now he shows up in the daylight!

Photobucket is freaking out I'll post the third pic (my favorite) shortly
Ok we're back

I know he isn't a monster, but he'd be the best "bow kill" I've ever taken! Rifle season opens a week from today, so I'm out to puncture this guys ribcage with an arrow!
Good Luck and Good Hunting All ! Thomas
Get him TL, get him!
Very nice TL!
Put the camera down and what ever else in your hand,Pick up that MQ32 and shoot that deer.
Well if you're pathetic, then I'm a real douche! Man I LOVE deer hunting! It doesn't matter if it's a BIG buck or just a mature doe, when I deceide I'm gonna shoot this animal "I'm PUMPED" I can't help it! ( by the way there haven't been very many BIG Bucks in my deer hunting career) I just LOVE it and it gets me very excited and I feel sorry for Tim. If I ever get to where I'm not stoked about shooting at a deer, then I guess I'll take up golf or basket weaving.Quote:

Hang in there Howie shooting game with "stick and string" is probably one of the most exciting things you can do via hunting! I think it's due to all the preparation, practice and close quarters with your quarry that makes it so! Get back out there Howie and "stick" us one to see here on BT!
Good Luck and Good Hunting All! The Hoser
LMAO, ok maybe I should say a new "trail camera" Had I been there when he was I'd pi$$ed myself and watched him walk away!Quote:

Notice in this pic, there is a "western cedar" just to deer's nose. Also notice there are some limbs trimmed out of tree. Yep thats a short ladder stand propped up a mere 25 yds away from this 'lil deer. I'll probably be in that stand come daylight! ;)
I will give you my warmest good luck TL, sickem!
Go getum TL. Save your money for the mount, It will be worth it.
Well this morning wind direction was all wrong for the "cedar stand", so as not to educate him I sat a different stand :( Did see LOTS of turkey and some doe and fawns. I refrained from shooting in hopes ole "kicker" would stroll by. Nope :(
It's Fall Turkey season here in Oklahoma and the "landowner" is out now with his son and grandsons so this evening is out. Tomorrow we're supposed to get a cool front and wind direction change. Sooooooo I'll climb the cedar if mother nature cooperates!
Good Luck and Good Hunting All! The Hoser

Now movement and sound, yah, those are issues. I really do believe that the whitetail deer may be the stupidest animal on the planet. Well, not as stupid as a democrat.
Yeah, but Thomas isn't sitting in a hermetically sealed climate controlled, internet accessed, "Tree Stand", so I think the effects of your after shave are minimized.

That's something around 90 days. 90 days x 2 hunts a day of which the average hunt is 3.5 hours. That's 7 hours a day x 90 = 630 hours. Take into account that I missed one hunt on 9 to 11 Friday's for football games for my kids. You still have about 590 hours of tree stand hunting a year. Then deduct about 40 hours of rifle hunting where I was in a blind and you have 550 hours of long bow tree stand hunting. 550 hours x 12 years = 6600 hours.
I'll debate if my feelings on scent are entirely accurate but I will not debate my time in field under open air conditions. When I have shooter bucks stopping at my foot path, smelling my scent and walking closer to me from down wind, I start to wonder. That deer can and do have good noses is not my debate. What is my debate is what their response is with that big sniffer. I find they are like some roided up moron, all big and tuff, who can't score a 14 on the ACT test. Yah, deer have tools but in the end, they're simply an animal who hasn't evolved much past the thinking of a democrat.

Maybe they want to have their way with you?
