Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 2010 Deer Season (post your pics)

Well lets get this years deer season pics off to a start

2nd night out, haven't hardly scene anything around our land this year. Ride horses out there once or twice a week and until last week haven't scene much the previous six weeks.

Last night out was my first night on stand this year. Didn't even see a squirrel. Left a few minutes before dark and came upon this guy with a few does and a couple other bucks on the edge of the grove/bean field on my way out. Had about a 60 yard shot and I'd just been practicing a few hours earlier at 50 yards and had 4-5" groups, but my self imposed limit on deer is about 40 yards.

Well... Tonight left work a little early and went in a hung a stand where I'd scene the deer feeding. Saw 1 buck and 3 does (two fawns) at 7:00 go trotting past me about 40 yards away.

7:25 and I heard something coming, one smaller buck and this guy were coming in. Had about a 20 yard shot and made it happen. Deer didn't go 20 yards before piling up.

Sad the seasons over, but no complaints as this is a very good deer in this area.

I have yet to go hunting.
My season for my tag opened today.

But after my birthday, I plan on heading to the forest a couple times.

So I will see.

Excellent buck in ANY area C74..

Great buck!

nice!

That is indeed a fine start. Congrats - nice buck!

Sorry if you are bored having seen this pic in my other threads. This was a great little hunt during the early anterless season with my good friend, Jimmie. I will not soon forget it. There will be more pics to come as the season is just getting started.

Fantastic!

Nice job Cal!!

Nice job guys! I hope I can add to the thread later...a couple times.

This morning was opening day in GA and I managed to shoot some meat for my empty freezer. I sat till 10:00am without seeing anything more then a hindend disappearing into the brush. So I get out of the stand and walk down the shooting lane a ways to trim a couple limbs that were in the way before I leave for the day. I lean my rifle against a tree and use my mono pod to get hold of a branch over my head unsucessfully for a minute. I look down the shooting land and though the waist high grass and weeds I see what looks like ears about 130 yards away. I drop my mono pod walk over the get my gun, pick my mono pod back up let it out all the way and take about a minute of moving back and forth till I foung a good window to send the bullet though. At the shot my 130gr TTSX put her down.

Hunting on crutches probably sucks, but hunting with Ruger No. 1's does not suck. Good for you guys!
Hope your foot/ankle/ leg get better soon.

Deer season in Eastern Oregon...guess the bucks will be out as usual during elk season (read deer rut).

Can't a lady have some privacy? Maybe not during deer season!

Nice deer and good shooting.

Thanks Tom. Crutches suck period, but it beats the alternative. Actually, I use a cane (heavily) when hunting. It's about impossible to get around in the wild with crutches 'cause they hangup on everything. A cane doesn't support as well, but I can pick the cane up over the obstructions. In late November I will be getting a new knee made of steel and plastic. Hopefully I'll be off the crutches by Christmas or thereabouts, Lord willing. I'm glad His strength is made perfect in my weakness 'cause I hate it. I did manage to kill a eater buck over the weekend with my bow (Pro-Line Corsair from about 2000). I'll post pics soon. I thank God I have a strapping young son who is willing to help track and drag my deer out of the woods for me.

Dvdegeorge be a man next time and shoot a dink.


Great deer my the way.
