My boy got a nice buck on opening morning of rifle but took him with a crossbow. The deer have been moving like crazy. I switched stands that morning because I really wanted to hunt the stand he was going to be in and man am I glad I did. I would have been happy to harvest that buck but it’s...
I sat this morning from 6:30 am to 11:00. There was a TON of movement...but unfortunately none of it was deer. The past week has been the deadest I have seen it this year.
Anyone seeing any seeking and chasing yet? I have not seen any of that in central OK. There is a big field just North of Will Rodgers that I drive past daily and it is almost always full of deer at sunup and sundown. This time of year I pull off the highway (and hope some fool texting and...
Any reports from the field this morning. Sucks to be sitting in the office so I was hoping to live vicariously through some of you today. However, I am playing hookie tomorrow. :cool:
Unfortunately he was never recovered. I have replayed everything 100 times in my mind and I have settled on my shot being a little back and low. The arrow left my bow from ~25’ above ground level and I believe that it struck about 1-2” above where the front leg meets the body and roughly 2”...
I believe it was a lung hit, maybe a hair low but I felt like it was a good shot. I waited 30 min to check the arrow then another 30 min before starting to track. He jumped up a little, spun 45 degrees, and and bolted into the brush.
Shot my first buck with a bow today. Nice big bodied 8.
I felt like it was a good hit. Arrow looked good. Great blood trail for the first 60 or so yards then barely a drop. Spent 7 hours looking for him and never found him. Tracked him for approximately 150 to 200 yards through...
So I put out a bag of rice bran at both my stand and my uncles stand on Tuesday morning. Neither of us hunted on Wednesday but he hunted this morning and was complaining about how a small buck walked right past the bran (and corn) and he has NEVER seen a deer walk right past food before. Then...
Put out my first bag of rice bran this morning and I can't wait to see the results. Around 6:30 i had a buck grunting to the north of me but i never saw him. So far the only excitement I have had is when a squirrel almost hopped in my lap. I also got to watch a fox for a bit but that has been...
I have my heart set on a Benelli M2 Field but it will run me ~$1,300. I have also read really good things about the Beretta A300's and I can get one of those for ~$650. Trying to figure out if the M2 is REALLY worth the premium. I want to be able to hand this gun down later in life so I want...
