Fall 07 Hunting Reports

[Dark Cloud]

Put em here guys. Deer, ducks, geese, turkeys, anything you harvest...

Today our archery season started with a nice frost on the pumpkins. A beutifull morning to be in the woods, calm and cool with a heavy fog building in by daybreak. Dad, Paul, and myself hunted a spot a few minutes from here. About 8am I spotted a few deer feeding towards me outta the fog. A small doe gave me a nice broadside 15 yarder and I made a decent shot I fealt good about but not 100%. I sat down, had a drink and was txting Rob to see how things were going with him and his wife. A few minutes later I hear the telltale sound of death comming from down by dad about 150 yards away - THWACK!!!

Shortly there after I took this amazing picture from the stand...

He got right on the trail of his and found it about 80 yards later. I waited for Paul as mine was in thick overgrown golden rod/ brush. Found some blood but very dificult tracking. We took our time and found her piled up after only 50 yards...

Heres the two of us. I tried editing up some junk in this guys yard, not sure what looks worse the junk or the green blob...

Now we'll do some more fishing and start looking for bucks...

Jay and Tank,

Great job on opening day! Meat in the freezer is always good....Like you said, bring on the big boys!

And Jay, that first picture from your standin the woods is AWESOME....I am going to print it out on put in my office if you don't mind.....

[Dark Cloud]

Johnny - I could e-mail you the pict if it would be easier to print/nicer? You ever target the browns when they get running here soon out in your neck of the woods? We'd love to get into some of them...

Tonite I hunted with Rob and his wife and it was a gorgeous evening to be in the woods. I never saw a deer but Rob took a poke at a nice doe. A tricky tracking job later we found her...

[CNY Tim]

Man that first picture Jay is killer. Congrats on those tasty backstraps!

That pictures says a lot of why we are outdoorsman . . .you can't see that in the office or in front of a TV . . . unless of course you have friends that share on the internet. Thanks my fellow gardener . . . oops the secret is out. I managed a nice 4 pointer Saturday morning muzzleloading at 0800 but unfortunately it had about 8 hudge nodules of black growths on one side (the side away from my shot). Farmer reccommended disposing of it and not filling out the tag . . . so in the ground it went. Saw 16 deer so there are more to pick from. Really heavy winds on Oneida yesterday . . .should have knocked down some weeeds . . .but that is another section here

[Dark Cloud]

Pictures and tv are nice but they dont do justice to actually being there...

Tonite was another awesome evening in the woods. I saw nothing but squirrels and grouse. Dads had 6 doe around him...

Too bad Frankie about that buck. Must have been some kind of tumor?

[CNYFrank]

about 8 of them!!

I started bowhunting again this year for the first time since about 1990 and got this buck with my bow on Saturday evening. He was trailing a doe and making some serious tending grunts Gave me a sweet 9 yard shot. No match for a 100 grain G5 Montec and he didn't go far after a good heart shot

John, Good job that looks like a good icefishing snack now we just need some ice congratulations on the score.Hey thats not to bad after 17yrs of not hunting .

[CNY Tim]

Stop it John your making Frank look bad Congratulations and lay off the beer when your skinning. We sure do have our fair share of mishaps in this this group when it comes to knife wounds, right Z

Yes, beer usually goes well with sharp knives, power tools, and firearms but every once in a while it doesn't My finger is slowly coming back to life again to the point I might be able to run my tiller soon and get back out for some walleyes

[Dark Cloud]

Nice buck, congrats!

Things have been real quiet here till the last few days. Been seeing and passing on plenty of doe. Tonite we both saw bucks with doe. Tank had one real close but it was way too dark...

[Shack]

Nice deer guys! One thinks New York and nothing like comes to mind.

Good luck!

[Dark Cloud]

Shackbash - Iv'e been to Minnesota, thankfully I saw more than the Twin Cities or id have a bad view of the state, lol

Dad and I both had bucks inside 30 yards this morning, no shot opps though.

Got these neat picts on the trail cam yesterday/last night. Date and times are wrong as I never reset them after changing batterys...

Heres Tank aproaching the treestand yesterday evening...

Heres a dandy of an 8 pt later that night(same spot). Two scrapes are just to the left of the deer...

[CNYFrank]

very nice buck!!

[CNY Lee]

Shot this deer on Nov. 3rd, he weighted 211 field dressed and scores 121 P&Y @ 4 1/2 years old. I'll have pictures on as soon as I get them developed, I know I'm old fashion but my digital [PoorWordUsage]ed the bed.

[Thunderman]

Nice buck Lee is that a local deer? your not going to put that on on the wall?

[CNY Lee]

Shot in Bridgeport, I messed up the cape while dragging by myself. Took me 5 1/2 to get him out. If anyone has a nice cape with 7 1/2 eye to nose and a huge neck give me a shout.

[Dark Cloud]

Lee - Congrats, thats one heck of a buck. Both 125 class bucks we have taken were aged at 3 1/2. Goes to show what weather, nutrition, and genetics do for ya. Thats gonna be a tough cape to find but a taxidermist should be able to track one down...

Doe city down here. Been passing on doe almost every trip out. Only a few days till gun season so we figured we'll try and fill a few tags. Dad put a muzzy through both lungs on a doe this afternoon...

[Thunderman]

Lee,

I don't hunt anymore (onlyfish) .I have alot of my freinds that hunt and maybe we can come up with something for you.I shot a big 8 point back in 1993 had pretty much the same thing happen.I'll keep my ears open.

[CNY Lee]

Thanks guys.
