crooketarrow:
I can do that if you can tell me how to stop those stakes from smelling up the wall.
I arrowed a bunch 3 and 4 year old doe's. I also killed a 7 1/2 and a 8 1/2 year old. That 81/2 was killed with a stone point at 6,7 yards. She came to a fawn call. She was really poor I could see all her ribs.
If I want some meat I ride out to a hill top take my 280 along. I shot 49 bucks couple 100 doe's with it. I still shoot a few does each year. I quit shooting bucks in o4. I still shoot a few doe's and let a few others doe' hunt. I have to here. In the winter of 98 I shot on permit 111 deer.
But when I want to hunt and not just shoot. I do'nt doe hunt doe's with a bow. Yes I've killed dozzen when younger. But for me there only 2 things I really enjoy bow hunting. That's mature bucks and gobblers. And not with a rifle or shot gun.
And not jakes that like arrowing spikers or forkies.
Ok but you have to tell me how to get those doe stakes to stop stinking after a few weeks.
I think someone wanted to know about selling any racks.. Took me 1000's and 1000's of hours to kill all of them and I ate good along the way. But they'll be something for the grand kids to fall on someday.
Sorry jojo I've shot a few mullies. All my shots were from 333, 388 and another one at 544 yards. Not much fun in that unless their over 200 inchs.
I'd like to go hunt with a self bow, coe's deer and not meat hunt doe's either. COE'S mature buck with a Osage, dogwood arrow, stone point. That would beat a 100 rifle mullies.
DONAL by the way you talk you I can tell you set up where you can see and shoot a lot of different kinds and ages deer.
Where I set up DONAL I see just a deer or 2. But they'll be 3,4,5 year old bucks. Not a chance in hell of a mature doe walking by me any does. Unless there ran to me.
I quit setting up where I'd see a lot of deer many moons ago. Those mature bucks will only show thereself's 3,4 days of the rut in the day light out in the open. my way I have a chance everyday plus those 3 or 4 rut days.
Josh B:
For what it's worth Don, I agree with you. Those ol boss does are pretty dang smart. I also agree with you on not usually bringing up numbers. Keeping count always seemed like it sort of cheapens the whole experience. I had my time hunting the big bucks in my youth, I finally realized that if I want horns I can pick em up in the spring when they fall off. A nice fat doe is much better eating. Oh...and crooketarrow, regarding your comment to sleek about your 200 lbs. buck making you the real meat hunter....he doesn't have to travel very far to take does bigger than that. Josh
osage outlaw:
crooketarrow, how are you aging the does that you shoot? How are you aging the bucks?
BowEd:
I think crooked arrow is misunderstood here.I suspect he's spent more time in the woods than most talkng here.Personally I've had enough fun years shooting does.They are good eating for sure.Eating the biggest buck I've ever shot and tasted just as good.It's a matter of what you have time to do.If crooked arrow has time to wait out a big buck coming by.More power to him.The guy just doe hunting probably does'nt have the time it takes to harvest a big old buck.Shoots the first thing that comes by.Good.And believe me it takes a hunter to harvest these big bucks most times not just luck.Don't be fooled.I know for a fact a 1.5 year old doe has one fawn/a two year old can and does have twins.I've seen triplets here too.That's in a good year.After that the size is that matters.You can see big old mature 3 to 5 year old does.
