Hows everyone making out so far?
I have had 7 sits and seen nothing on the hoof myself. In the begging of October, I guy I am mentoring took a shot at a doe and missed. So thats the extent of my action so far. I only have one other friend who has notched his tag.
Have seen very little on my cameras as well.
Curious to see how others are doing.
Thanks guys
I have seen a few, got one shot off on a spike.
My bow cable started fraying, so off to That Hunting Store it went for new strings and cables. Been checking the cam regularly and action as seemed to slow down. Going to wait it out for gun season as the bow wont be back for a couple weeks
last week i went to check my cameras and seen 2 or 3 6pt-8pt bucks start roaming around. up until then ive only been seeing does yearlings and small forks and spikes.
things are starting to move forsure, hoping for some snow theyll start going further and further from their home zones.
First sit last night. Farmer was harvesting the beans. Once he was gone, total of 14 deer entered the field. Never seen that many at once, one of which was a beautiful 10pt. Hoping they're still around on Mon for the M/L hunt. (area 92)
seen one shot one. been seeing them on camera almost daily. Haven been out seen I got the one. will start again soon now corn coming off
Been out 4 times so far. Saw a total of 9 deer in 3 of the 4 sits. One 6pt, 3 button bucks and 5 does.
Arrowed one this afternoon. Pics and bit of story to follow later tonight when I get home.
Rattled a half decent buck the other day, no chance at a shot but it was pretty cool
very little horns showing during daylight.
Mostly hunt the food sources so that may be why.
Lots of girls walking around but the boys are not chasing in a big way yet-- Parry Sound
Ahh 92. The Iowa of Ontario. All the best and good luck
Bow hasn't left the hanger yet
saying that I wouldn't want to be a deer standing in front of me tomorrow morning
I usually don't start bow hunting 92B until Mid-October due to our heavy tick and mosquito population. :)
Sit# 1 Oct 21. Had 4 mature doe come by 15 yards behind an apple tree. No shot!
Sit# 2 Oct 28th. Arrowed a nice 8 point with the crossbow. Not a giant but a good eating deer.
Muzzleloader week party hunting with our group of 7 in 92B.
Opening morning Nov 06th. We filled 4 of 7 tags.
I was posted on a field edge that is usually loaded with deer. Deer#1 big mature doe 150yards. Deer# 2 a nice 8 point 150yards. Deer # 3 30 yards another big mature doe. Another member of our group got a nice 8 point.
Nov 07th morning hunt we tagged 2 more mature bucks. Both shot at over 200yards.
Nov 08th I was once again in the right place at the right time. Shot a nice 10point 30 yard shot. Called him right to me with a doe bleat call.
All in all a great season and I am tagged out so time to knock some Coyotes back and fish... :)
Cheers!
demoralized! squirrels, atv riders, freezing my butt off and its not even snowing yet...
im about ready to hang up the bow and chase some geese to shake off these blahs!
Same! Its been one of those years for me too. Just never in the right spot at the right time. I've got some deer around, just not when I need them to be
cold out there this morning no sightings for me, but wrong spot, camera picked up a couple deer at other camera, so right time wrong spot. Oh well that hunting.
I could swear these critters are using our trail cams to pattern us . In early October, our trail cams were showing singles , threesomes and a herd of 5 at all hours of the day. When I head out in mid-October, they've all gone nocturnal on us. How do they do that ??
Your neighbours are hunting and turning them nocturnal.Quote:
