Second firearms season starts tomorrow so I'm going to go out. I killed a doe first season but my grandpa slapped his tag on it so he didn't have to go out anymore. Good luck to everyone, don't give up cold weather coming in they'll be hitting the food sources again and go back to earlier patterns if they're not too spooked.

After this weekend I should have a doe up at a minnimum with shotgun season coming in. Last Saturday I left my stand early because I had family from Chicago in, so I retrieved the camera this weekend, nice buck walked right by an hour later. I about puked. Chicago screwed the lower state guys again.

There was a sign up a couple of months ago. The threads at the top of the whitetail page, there were letting people sign up for teams if they got enough for another team.

I went out Sunday and had a half rack buck stand 2 feet from the bottom of my tree. Too small to shoot. I thought the next 30 minutes may be eventful then my cousin called and needed help with a doe he spined twice and needed help putting down before the sun was completely down. I was just glad one of us got one, plus the does need to be thinned anyway.

I thought the rut was going to ramp up a couple of weeks ago, ground was torn up with scrapes and trees as big as my thigh were starting to get shredded then a week straight of rain and nothing. My trail cam over a scrape got a 2 1/2 yr old buck and a young doe with no activity on the scrape itself, it's now completely covered in leaves along with the other four on the fourwheeler path. I had some doe urine set out for the back Sunday and it didn't even stop to smell it just kept walking like nothing was wrong at all and it was a normal Sunday. So I'm not sure what's going on.

We have hunters from PA messing everything up for us from now until gun season the 20th. They put stands up right on the property line 50 yards away. They don't like to cooperate either and they'll go there when you're there. They like to put them in bedding areas too. It's just too bad. Hopefully I'll be able to knock one down this weekend, but I'm hunting only big boys from now until shotgun season.

Good luck everyone!!!! And let's get some points up!

Congratulations, and 5 points I'm assuming..... I was going to schwack a doe Saturday morning but she turned and went the other way. Could have gotten her little 6 point friend that went by at 20 yards, but I don't like to kill the little guys.

First doe of the year. Hopefully I can add to that this coming weekend on my hunting trip in Ohio.

I'm looking to score on a doe before the rut hits, otherwise I'm going to have to wait until after muzzleloader season to get that easy 5 points. Well that's my hope anyway, can't ever resist the sight of a young doe standing broadside.

I'll be hunting tomorrow morning, for the first time this year. The weather is going to be great too....hopefully the deer agree and cooperate.

Well I lost us 5 points........

Have not missed a deer in 12 years, have never lost one I shot..till Saturday.

I had six does all around me and got busted, one trotted off and the one at 12 yards trotted out to 20 yards broadside quaertering awaay.

Kisser button came off when I drew the bow.

Settled in for the shot and was perfect on vertical.

Arrow went left and hit the back side of the shoulder blade, blew through it and hit the large lump of spine bone beteen the shoulder blades.

She ran off with my fletching waving good bye.

No blood and found my arrow snapped off about 6- yards from where I shot her.

Looked the next day and could not find any blood or her.

Good news is, I have numerous deer coming in all times of the day on my camera and one really great buck and a bunch of 4 points.

Cold front coming in tomorrow...... gonna be lows in the high 40's and 60 during the day for next four days....... something is gonna die this weekend!

Here is a pic of the one I really want!

Took the in-laws out this weekend. The moon has them moving primarily at night, sat all day and didn't see anything until 6:45. Was a small buck that spotted me at the same time I spotted it. Sunday morning I saw 2 does but didn't want to mess things up in case they were going to go up to the kid hunting on top of the field. I'm hoping two weekends from now I'll get on on the board. I'm trying to let things settle down for a couple of weekends and hope my other place gets the corn out.

I plan on going out Saturday and Sunday. I have an in law coming down for the youth season so he's the priority, but I'm going to bring the bow just in case. Good luck to everyone.

Good luck. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I can spend much time in the woods.

Saw a ton last night nothing big though. Hopefully I can get out this weekend again.

RE: Team Three Check in

Illinoisbowhunter — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:48:15 GMT

I'm going out tomorrow morning and hope to chalk one down. I've only gotten a couple of small bucks on my trail camera, but I don't normally see the big boys on my property until they break out of the bachelor groups. Two years ago when I was home from Afghanistan I encountered a double drop monster, haven't seen him since but I heard he survived last season by a few neighbors. Hopefully I'll put one up. Good luck to you all. Shouldn't we come up with a name for our team?
