    Out of state hunts

    in Big / Small Game

    Posted

    We hit Ohio with Sunfish Valley Whitetails this year and had a lot of fun. Saw a ton of deer and I was the only one to not connect out of our group of 3. My dad scored on a nice 12pt with some cool brow tines and another guy got a really nice 9pt. The buck my dad shot was the smallest out of the 3 shooters he saw. He missed a slammer on The 4th day. We're going back next year.

    Is that a high fence farm?

    Great Story and Great Buck Thanks for sharing it with us! Hopefully when the boy and I start hunting after the 15th we might be able to share a similar story as well. Who is going to mount it for you?

    Alan Strouse in Lawrenceville, PA will be doing the mount. Thanks a lot everyone. It's definitely a memory I'll never forget!

    Good luck to those who haven't been out yet and to those who have to hold off till the 15th to shoot a buck

    It was 3:30 pm on my way over to the property Dad and I hunt and it was 68 degrees, I definitely didn't expect to see much. I hung this stand in early July between 2 fields. One with soy beans and the other with corn. Tonight was my first sit of the season so I was just looking forward to seeing anything. By 5 o'clock I had a small 6 point and 2 doe, both with twins that all fed through the acorns behind me and out into the bean field. I watched the 4 fawns run and jump around for over a half hour...I was perfectly content on ending my night after that once it got dark. Around 6:15 through all of the rustling leaves from the squirrels and chipmunks, I heard a small twig snap. I slowly turned my head and just saw a massive body. Hoping everything would work out and he would take the same path as the other deer, I grabbed my bow and never looked back again. After what seemed like a half hour but was only about 5 minutes, the buck was quartering away from me into the beans at 30 yards. I only looked at his horns once. I saw he had 5 on his left side. I also saw a really nice, tall 8 point behind him. When I released the arrow I knew I hit him good but he never ran. The bucks body stiffened up and he was leaning to one side as he slowly took a few steps. That's when I saw something I never expected. The tall 8 point circled around and charged the buck I shot, with his head down and drove him right into the dirt and then ran off. This is my biggest buck with a bow or gun. Dad and I are in an archery contest so we brought the deer to weigh it. It dressed out at an even 200lbs, with a 19 3/4" inside spread. It's after midnight and I have to wake up at 4:45 am for work and I'm wide awake! Thanks for reading my story!

    Today was my daughter's 6th birthday and the only thing she wanted to do was fish, I couldn't be happier. The sound of feet on my bedroom floor woke me up at 430am and off we went to pick up my father, or Lexi's "Papa." We were greeted at the Genny launch to new docks and really low water at 645am. We could have used a parachute to drop into the boat (18' Lund.) We hung a right out of the chute and ran a few miles east and the first lines of the season were in just before ship builders in 12 FOW. I ran 3 smithwicks off one board 2 gold/silver with a red head and a goby colored one. On the port side board went 3 natural colored, jointed rapalas. Both riggers had chicken wing spoons, 1 down 4' and back 50 and the other one down 7 and back 30'. We never made it down to webster. We concentrated on a half mile either side of ship builders till noon. We (she) boated 2 beautiful Browns in the first hour and lost another 5. Lost a few lures to the bottom and answered 750 questions about the outdoors. Just the perfect day. She has been out with us since she was a baby but today I could tell she was really into it and hooked for good now...until she's a teenager at least. My dad still doesn't know how to take pictures with his phone....
