2009 Deer Season...

(1/4) > >>

Mechslasher:
is over for me here in sc.  :'( i did manage to kill a five pointer with my flintlock but i'm 0/3 with my bow.   missed a doe, twice, the early part of the season and then nicked the biggest buck i've shot at with trad equipment the first of nov.  to give an idea how my season went.  dec. 29th i hunted over a 50 acre kudzu field.  during the last 45 min. of daylight i saw two 16+" eight pointers, two small sixes, and 16 does come out in various locations and feed on the rye grass growing in the dead kudzu.  dec. 30th, i set up a ground blind where the eights and several does came out.  i had cover on three sides.  you guessed it, the does came out directly behind me.  they saw me, but didn't know what i was.  dec. 31 i set up a lock on in a tree near the ground blind.  didn't see anything that day or jan. 1st.  i might have spooked those does but not the rest.  i must have some deer repellent somewhere on me. 

Wolf Watcher:
Chris:  Sounds like you had lots of fun and had some good days in the field!  Wish I had a nickle for every time I came home with no meat to show for lots of effort!  Joe

Mechslasher:
joe, i had a very good season seeing/watching deer, but just couldn't get the shots i wanted.  i learned a lot about the piece of property i've been hunting this season.  i thought i had the deer figured out on it, but a f3 tornado went through the place last summer and shifted the trail patterns i had learned and set stands up on.  i'm planning on setting up some feeders, and trail cams, to help the deer through this winter.  i'm thinking it'll pay off big next season.

Ryano:
Well I killed a 7 pointer with my bow and its a darn good thing I didn't pass him up or I'd of been eating tag soup.  This has been the worst hunting season here ever for the amount of deer seen....it's a good thing I made good on that shot cause it was my only opertunity. It seems the deer #'s are way down around here this year and the ones that are left are almost 100% nocturnal.

Justin Snyder:
Sounds like a rough hunt. I feel your pain, nature can sure mess with your plans. I had been scouting a 40"+ mule deer a couple of years ago. I knew where he watered every day and where his favorite escape trail was. Three days before the bowhunt a fire went through and burned 50,000 acres. There wasn't a bush or deer left in the entire area.
