Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Live From My Stand 2017

Oh man!!
We’re supposed to be a low of 32 and a high of 58

Too Warm and Windy Here!

Weather ecspurts said rain.
Not a drop.
Windy and warm.

Drove out at 2pm, moved a stand.

Much better spot. I got pretty heated w just jeans and T shirt.

Back home by 4.

See what happens next weekend.

Kid got concussion/possibly broken nose yesterday. Beyond ridiculous.
Hopefully no nose surgery next weekend.

Does warm things up,but I can handle that more than not being able to hunt. South wind is craps for all my stands but 1 and its not morning stand which I need . I'm still doing well however, got 3 in the freezer....grin
Warm weather or not,rut is not far off here now. Got reports of a few big boys on their feet this past week before all the rain hit.

Cold front moving in (Indiana).
Maybe crappy precip Sat.
Am hunting Sat and Sun anyway.

Been warm down in the Catskills too Dan. My son and I picked off a few does for the freezer and have just about enough meat for the next year.

Here's mine complements of slick trick 100gr.

The bigger boys seem to be moving in the cool of night.

Got to Love Slick Tricks! been useing them since I heard about them on here!

I wanted so badly to love slick tricks as they flew awesome.
They performed really good but for some strange reason the blood trails were sometimes a bit on the light side, now I have recovered all but one deer with them and it was a shoulder shot ☹️
Like I said blood trails were mediocre at best and made it hard to track.
Now for 3 yrs I have been using Rage Hypodermics and let me tell you....red carpet baby!
To be honest I’m not a mechanical broadhead lover but so far I’m sold on the Rages.
Also I’m 100% on blow throughs.

All my buddies use Rages, they have lost deer, a buddie lost a big 8pt this weekend! rage in the cage, another lost a doe week before last was found a day later eaten by the Coyotes maybe just me but never lost a deer yet with the Slick Tricks even a gut shot deer I use the 150s might have something to do with it, or maybe im just been Lucky! Iv always had a Great blood trails To Each his own, I guess.

Openings like this leave massive amounts of blood (example- doe I shot last wknd)
Entrance

Exit

Me too !
I shot rage for years and like them ok. I did get tired of checking the blades all the time esp stalking the corn fields. Got good blood trails with my STs.

Yesterday saw some doe and small bucks still not ramped up yet.
Saw a deer in the back of a pick up yesterday morning,this deer was killed 5 minute drive from my home
19 scoreable points and grosses 188"

Ya, that’s a hog alright!

Suburban deer. Got to love Greece (if you can find a place to hunt and don't mind company)

I'm seeing lots of bucks getting hit this week Dan. They are definitely starting to move.

I predict there will be an update with picts here shortly.

And you are correct Scott! Sprout and I got very closely acquainted this morning. Saw 5 buck and 6 doe. A couple small guys sparing and little chasing by the smaller buck. Sprout the deer with the drop tine in front of his eye passed by perfectly broadside at less than 20 yds. He ran 23 yds after the shot stopped and dropped dead right in font of me. He's a 10 pt and a horse of a deer I weighted him before field dressing and he tipped the scale at 230 lbs.


You can see the arrow(100gr SlickTrick tipped Gold Tip) in the ground and the buck where he died

That's a good buck, Atta Boy

Man, he's a portly fella. Congrats!

Killer buck Dan!
