So has anyone got themselves a buck yet?

I do not get to hunt during bow season on my lease...boy I sure was dreaming about it out on the golf course this morning. I woke up and it was 51 degrees outside!

Ok so the question at hand...has anyone got one yet?

NOPE, not today.

Not yet...

i live out in utah so the bow hunt is over i ended up getting a decent 8 point this year. i'll probably post a picture when i get the photos off my camera.

it was a great hunt i swear the sucker jumped 3 ft in the air when i plugged him. never had that happen before he got maybe 50 yards before he dropped.

i think he is going to taste great he is at the game processor right now. i'm looking forward to some steaks and jerky

nope not yet, see a few but out of range and the squirell hunters didn't help either, especially when they walked under my stand.

ive seen some but havent shot

With the 13" restrictions, I have had to let all I saw pass.

Just a bunch of chicks...But still allot of fun!

one 9 point and a bunch of girls .I'm waiting for Mr. big.

So far only seen one doe and a bunch of rain.

My younger brother tagged a 12 pointer yesterday. His best buck yet!

Nice lets see the pic's

+1 on the Pics.!

Sittin at the house watchin it rain and decided i would open the front door and see if the rain had slowed down and there is a 4pt buck eyeing my 3d buck archery target! We watched him for 30min. walking around my target and feeding in the yard. If he was legal he would have been dead and i would have been eating backstrap!.

Okie doke:

Good buck Stan. Where bouts you huntin'?

Took this buck in Brisco County near Quitaque, Tx at 8:30 am, Saturday morning. Part of the Caprock Canyon breaks. What a thrill!

My bro shot a very big buck between 10-12 pts sunday morning but it was a gut shot and he never found the deer.

only seen a few does and a bunch of cows

I took an Eight Pointer on my 200 acre ranch southeast of Palestine, Texas on Sunday morning. 3 bucks came out at about 8:30 am and as I was getting ready to draw on one I glimpsed the one I took on my left. Great lung shot, ran about 70 yards. I am new here and read the instructions on how to post a pic, but I can't find file manager here and it won't let me cut and post or copy and paste. Could someone give me some direction please

Good deal. Got any pics?

Yep, but having trouble posting the pic. Have it saved in my documents/pictures, but won't let me cut and paste or copy and paste?????

You have to down load it to photobucket. Then you can upload them from there.

Thanks. will do

Finally figured it out. Not the biggest buck I have ever taken, but not bad for first buck with a bow. Would like to thank Matthews Archery for my Switchback..

That is a nice 8. Like those brow tines. Good deal.
Next time right click on the bottom choice in the column below the photo then hit copy. Paste it on the post and it will show up without having to go to the link. It is a pain though.

Much better, thanks so much for the advice. I really appreciate it Passthru.

Nice brows and congrats

Thanks Jgiles. My brother and I have been working on our ranch with TPWD for about 5 years. Finally got the food plots right and we are on the MLDS permit system now. Have 8 food plots and 12 tree stands and have seen some really big bucks in our stealth cam pics. After opening weekend usually just he and I hunting. So might have a spot or two open for someone who wants to bowhunt. Don't want to let just anyone come down, but dedicated bowhunters would be welcome. The big boys usually show up in November.

Nice... fruits of the labor!!! the best part.. enjoying them. Congrats again!!

All I saw was a 4 pt. and 2 does. Drew twice on two different huge Toms, but both times they stepped behind some mesquite brush. Man, it ain't easy lettin' off a bow, inside a tent!

Nice Buck! Congratulations on your first bow buck!

Man with the weather we are having all I can think about is getting to the lease but I have to wait until gun season. AGH! Oh well I will be going down in a couple of weeks to top off the feeders and checking the trailcam to see what I have had coming to the feeder.

Good luck to all of you who are bow hunting!

Im goin this evening and all weekend, i need to shoot something bad im getting trigger happy.

Do mule deer count? I got lucky a took a nice muley last Saturday.

holy ch!t......nice muley. Congrats sir.

I love them cave dwellers. Hard for them to run!

I've decided I'm not slick enough to hunt in those tents. I had one last year, and hunted out of it a few times, and it's just not for me. It doesn't help being about as big around as the tent.

Beatiful mulie Dawaba!! Congratulations!!

No doubt, where is that stud from!?

I got the buck on Santa Rosa Island, California. The island is 58,000 acres and has both muleys and Roosevelt elk. They had been chasing my buck for 2 years as he was VERY skittish and always seemed to be running whenever he was spotted. We were walking around a point near the ocean, got a glimpse of him at a little over 200 yards, and my lucky snap shot broke his back. The guide started whooping and jumping around like a little kid, and seemed happier than his hunter over finally taking this deer.

My hunting buddy however seemed cursed, as he saw very few good bucks (the weather was hot and dry--note the "cave buck"), but finally on the last morning with only 2 hours to go, his lucked turned and he made a tough uphill shot on a nice buck at 225 yds. Here's his 4x5.

Does hunting on an island surrounded by the Pacific make it a high-fenced operation??

Yes to the first, and why should anyone care to the second...At 58,000 acres you can't complain about fair chase. If you could then were does it stop....Continental North America?IMO By the way nice deer I'm jealous. Been looking for a big Mulie for a long time.

To put it another way, the island is 84+ square miles, about 8 miles wide by 10.5 miles long. It is canyon country, rough as a cob, and with two peaks over 1500 ft elevation. There are very few Texas leases that big.

use photobucket. The mods tell you how to do it in the forums.

first deer with my bow.shot him at 40 yards he ran about 50 but ended up doin a u turn somewhere inbetween and found him so yards from where i shot him

Good deal DXT! Congrats and good shooting.

I thought about putting some rattling horns on this ones head for this picture! He screwed up my hunt and had to pay the price!

Good Buck Stan!!! Those boots sure give you some peace of mind in that country dont they! I have the same pair and so do my kids!

thank ya passthru

They certainly do. I never give a thought to snakes while wearing them.

I shot this guy on Saturday. He's the biggest buck I've ever taken. Sorry about the crappy picture, but I hunt by myself and couldn't get a pic til I got home and my very disgusted wife took one with her phone for me

Nice buck.

I shot a tall six point with a 16 inch spread. I was a little suprised to see that he was a six point due to the fact that he was so big. I ended up getting 60 lbs of meat off of him.

Very nice, congrats

got one in a break of the weather monday the 12th at 6:25pm. then took a doe last night...good week!

Here is the pic of my brothers deer he shot opening weekend. What do you think it would age and score?

Nice bucks boys!!!! If I could get the pigs to leave me alone I hope to stick one!!!

4 days ago.. in south dakota - not huge, but i couldn't pass him up (plus its already freezing up here)
