Guest hardcorefishn Report post Posted September 8, 2012 Spent two nights in the stand, seen one mid size buck (no velvet). No clean shot, had him at 20 yards, but wasn't shooting unless I had a good shot. Been lots of tracks and a few pics on the cameras - lots of night time visitors...Hoping to bag a deer before Moose Archery!Good Luck out there.

milspec 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2012 @hardcorefishn, Any noticeable difference in the amount of predators caught on cam this year compared to last year? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hardcorefishn Report post Posted September 12, 2012 milspec - no pics of predators (other than a couple bears). Actually haven't seen or heard any in a while, which is odd as we've had higher numbers of them in the past couple years.Still haven't bagged a deer with the bow yet - but Moose opener is fast approaching.hardcorefishn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beamer Report post Posted October 13, 2012 Posted this on the hunting page but I set out this year to get a buck in velvet, was watching a nice 10 pointer who was in velvet several days before the season opening (september 1st). Had an opportunity at him opening evening but he had shed his velvet, boobed my first opportunity but connected the evening of September 5th antlers still had some velvet and dried blood and were fairly light colored.

Guest Beamer Report post Posted October 13, 2012 Tree stand 18 yards shot, evening hunt, had an eight pointer still in velvet in fornt of me, held off knowing this guy was around(having seen him 4 days earlier). He showed up to run the smaller buck away and got an arrow for his efforts. 197 lbs dressed weightBeamer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milspec 9 Report post Posted October 13, 2012 I was out grouse hunting this morning, stumbled across a massive rub (well first one I've ever seen in person, I was really excited) it was about 5 and half feet up the tree, the tree itself was about the same diameter as a 2L bottle of pop. Fresh droppings all over the ground. I decided to leave the area quietly. As I did, I came across 2 fresh scrapes. Its amazing how the edges of differing vegetation will develop some interesting trails and signs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pro fisherman-Stud Muffin 420 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 i missed on a nice buck today, dude snort wheezed twice before coming in closer. saw him at 80 yds day light ending walking towards me, lost sight of my yardage markers in low light. was sure he was standing a foot behind my 50yd marker when he dropped his head , but apparently he was behind the 60, Complete miss!!. He didnt jump the string though, he stood still for a second after shot. Quote 2016 Dog Lake Open Champion. Thunder Bay BASSmasters Vice-President Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
