Well done O. Haven't been out all week because of work and family stuff. Now i have a terrible cold keeping me indoors the past 2 days. Maybe tomorrow afternoon i'll get out. If i do, i'm anxious to put one on the ground and in the freezer. Good shootin'

Well done---hope it took some of the sting out of the referee's victory over your team. As bad a call as I've seen. I won't get started till Nov. 21st.

You whacked a cat at 15 feet with a .300 Win? Gosh BigO was there even any hair left on the darn thing? lol Congrats big guy.

I am still scoreless except for a couple very unlucky squirrels. Not for lack of game. I've been giving a very nice 125ish buck a free pass the last 3 days. Just tonight I had 4 doe milling around my stand until after dark. I threw a quiver full of arrows at them trying to scare them away and they just stood there wondering why it was raining arrows.

Steve182 was out not to long ago. What a good guy but unfortunatly the deer were uncooperative. The rut is completely turned on here now. Deer everywhere, all day long. It's a good thing.

I caught a glimpse of a whopper tonight...Hopefully the story doesn't end there.

Had a clean miss tonight. Decided to give my spot a rest and try an obscure longshot of a spot where i'd have to stalk up on bedded deer. Got w'in 5 yds of a decent 6pt. before i could even see him. He thought i couldn't. I couldn't thread an arrow through the low cover around his bed, so i took another step hoping he'd stand. He leapt and flew outta' there in one motion. Surprisingly when i broke through the cattails expecting to see him running off, he was standing there on the marsh. I was downwind of him. I was unsure of the yardage and i shot right over his back with my 25 yd pin! I got w/in shooting range a few more times before he totally vacated the area but never got another shot. It was exciting, different and disappointing, but at least he's not wounded. I was hoping for a better buck anyway, but because of the circumstances of this hunt i decided to take him. Alas, it was not meant to be. Never a dull moment though. Have been seeing a little more deer activity at my other spots.

Well I finally decided to release an arrow tonight. BigO inspired me to finish a hunt rather than just go home. After a long stalk on a buck I was probably passing up anyway I found myself within 15 yards of two doe and close to the truck. Not a good combination for a guy who didn't eat breakfast that morning. My Bear Montana Longbow did the trick and double lunged the little girl in short order. The shot and release were so quiet the second doe was clueless and remained nibbling on a bush but Ohio law requires a tag on your first deer before shooting the second. A quick kill and short drag. The best of both worlds.

I know. Not nearly as good as a bobcat but hey, I live in Ohio.

My muzzleloader missfired twice on a 150 class 10 pointer. Somehow I felt a little relieved 'cause that would have meant no bowhunting the rut here in KS. Did shoot a button buck for meat. So far have taken one mature old doe with the bow. She won't eat anymore flowers and schrubs around my friend's house.

Nice job on that angry cat BigO. Shot a doe with my bow earlier in the week, been eatin' good.
Buckhunter. The buck we saw in it's bed?

well done buckhunter

I'm holding off on getting the doe until it gets closer to Thanksgiving. The family is going to make some good deer sausage then. Can't Wait!!
