Deer Hunting 2009

The guy called me up today, saying he was lost and looking for county land etc, and got scared when we approached him so he ditched his stuff and ran.
Strangely, he knew where the property lines were, and didn't ask for his bow and gear back. He tried to give me a razzle dazzle explanation of "some buddies grandma said the property line was" etc...
I told him to expect a visit from the DNR and to contact me in writing in the future.
There are two other property owners now willing to file trespassing complaints, and the local DNR officer is very interested in talking to me about this guy.
It should be tomorrow.

 

Moved from IN. 10 yrs. ago to hide and hunt in the woods of the UP. There are more deer in IN. than here in the north western UP----------------------NO JOKE!! Tom

 

Edit...

 

Retired to the UP from IN. and have not seen horns yet (from the blind) in 10yrs. I guess we left the good deer hunting in IN. Plus side this year-------------- mid Nov. and still driving the 308 every chance-----------no snow and still hitting 50 plus degrees!
Great place to live but not so for deer hunting anymore!!! TJ

 

Not yet

 

Good friend of mine got a 10 Pointer yesterday. Not in IN, but western KY.

This monster buck could be a new world record. I was told it was taken in Southern Ohio. It is supposed to be near 320 inches. The hunter found sheds last year, and they were 260inches.
It looks like he used a crossbow.

Is that a farm raised deer? A friend of mine told me he paid $4K to go hunting for deer in OH. He killed a huge buck and later told me that the deer are fenced in a 200 acre farm where they can't get out. So it was like hunting at a zoo.

 

I have no other details than what I posted. The picture was simply forwarded from person to person to person etc...
Sooner or later we will find out more details. This has to be a cover story for some magazine.

 

I have been hunting on my Brother In Laws Farm down in marcellus and I have only seen 2 bucks one 6 point on the first day of gun season that I let go and another buck with desent rack that was 1) to far away and 2) not on my side of the property line by 100 yards.

I did manage to kill a damn button and as agrivated as I was he still tastes good I shot the biggest one without antleers and I got burned by my inexperience my first year hunting deer.

It was about 150 yard shot with muzzle loader he sure looked bigger from my blind!

 

Friend sent me these.

Pretty interesting what unfolds in the woods when we're not there...

thank you for this post. just great photos

 

on bardstown rd at 6:00 for a viper club meet. the retired head of engine development will be there . a very small group. look for my 550 ferrari

 

I am heading out to Doug's father in laws with my Muzzlerloader this weekend. Putting on a winch on my ATV as we speak. I have a new German Shepherd and she is taking up my time but love her! Such an awesome dog. It was a rescue dog about two or less years old we think. She is so obedient. Maybe I can train her to help track deer when I shoot them and no more of the blood trail searches! LOL!

Last weekend of Muzzlerloader. I got a Turkey with my bow at 22 yards. Love it! It was just as fun as shooting a deer!

 

Gershwin, that camera shot is cool! Coyote needs to go though! Did he find a dead deer and just put a camera near it? After gun season I am seeing lots of deer but all late at night on my camera. Saw a 10 pointer.

 

Damn!

I had a few deer in my sites but let them go. I didn't feel like going through the effort of retrieving them unless it was a big one. Doug tried to play text messaging games with me while I was doing some serious hunting! LOL!

 

About one more week of Archery for Deer Season left. How sad is that, but it will get my mind off of hunting and getting other things done. Got a new camo suit I am going to try out when it warms up. I been in this weather for 5-8 hours in my Carhartt outfit and been warm in this 7 degree weather. Never saw anything but with warmer weather coming in I am hoping to stick a deer or so this week.

Here's a vid of this over priced scent lok vertigo suit. Quality on the suit is sub par but price is out of this world.

The new suit worked great today. Shot a deer with my bow coming up a steep hill looking at me. The suit really blends you well with the skyline.
