Got a voicemail from Chad this morning. Sounds like Mr. Jones has a story to tell and some pics to post. Congrats Buddy!
-
Looking forward to this one!! Congrats in advance Chad!!
-
For a minute there LeRoy, I thought you'd scored wtih your TimberGhost! This is at least No. 2 for Chad this year I think....
-
I wish it was me Norb! But I'm just as happy for Chad! I belive his total is better than that.
-

Pretty good my little Kiwi Bro!

Dave, I think he can get three more doe tags.
We'll probably hear from him when he gets to work tonight.
-
That's waht he told me Ken was that he'd be posting when he got to work.

Ok i'm here. I tell ya some people just can't keep a secret! :D
You know i had a real good day on Nov. 5th last year. I was out hunting with my lil buddy Mickey and had a buck come in and i was lucky enough to kill it. Charlie and Vance were waiting on us when we got back to my house and were able to go help us with the tracking job which resulted in this buck.

Just a super memory of great times shared with great friends.
-
Ok and this years buck?
-
Well let me start off by saying that i have had a rough season as far as bucks go. I have been hard on the does but the bucks have given me trouble.
When LeRoy was leaving he told me to shoot something with one of these simmons razor sharks he had given me to try. Since i had two broadheads failures in the last week i thought i would go aheah and give the simmons a try since they hit the same as my other heads.
-
When i got home this morning the weather was calling for high winds and rain starting about noon so i thought i would go out for a lil while and see if i could rattle something in. I told my wife that i had a feeling that i might have some luck since in was the anniversary of me killing my buck last year.
I made a mad dash to get my gear rounded up and my clothes changed. I made it to the woods and was settled into my stand at 8:35am. Well the weather man was wrong and the wind was howling pretty good. I start a rattling sequence as soon as i got in the tree. A short time later i thought i heard a branch break behind me and turned to see a buck standing directly downwind. As the buck started to walk behind a tree, I stood and grabbed my bow. I hit the grunt call a couple times and though he would stop and look he would not come any closer. In fact the buck started angling away from me. As he neared a tractor path i prepared to shoot. I bleated to stop him as he stepped into the opening. I quicly judged the distance and set my gap as i came to full draw. At the release i could see that the hit was good and i didn't think he would go far. I gave him about 20 min and got down to inspect the hit. I found blood with no problem and followed it to the bottom of the hill where i found him lying. The result was a 36 yard shot and a 125 yard recovery. Not my biggest, but with the season i have had i am tickled to death to get him. I had hunted everyday of the season except for 6 days and i was starting to get run down. Now i get to sit back and relax for awhile.

-

Guru is right that is a great stick. Vman has a eye for quivers thats for sure. Both bow and quiver look awesome.><>

That zipper is an extension of my arm and the only bow i have that will never go anywhere. I have a affair with it like Curt does with "Timex".

Nice buck Chad....Congrats...
-
Chad, You keep this up they ain't gonna let you hunt in Ohio any more. Congrats on another great buck. Pat
-
Congrats. Nice buck.
-
Good job - that buck looks pretty stout! Only 10 days to go until I return to Ohio for some rutting bucks!
-
Nice buck, Chad!
-
Nice smiles Chad. I knew you had it in ya! Between you, Herkimer and Chris Kinslow, Zipper Bows have had a few hero shots this fall. I'm definitely not holding up my end :mad: :banghead:
-
Nice buck, but I want that Bow!!!!! I think i'll have to get me one of those zippers.
-
Craig, Yep that is my extreme.
LeRoy, The head performed great but i really wasn't impressed with the blood trail. If he would have went into a rough area i would have had trouble finding him.
Pat, If they run me out, i'm coming to NC!!
Jeff, Good luck on your hunt. The bucks are running crazy right now.
-
Congratulations
Scott
-
My hat's off to you Chad.Great job
-
Thanks everyone
-
Way to go Chad, that's one great looking buck! How do you manage to consistently take such nice looking deer? Has to be skill . . . right?
POP
-
WOOO HOOO that is a great buck and one hell of a shot!!
-
WOWZA!!! Don't you love them Anniversaries and those feelings of " I believe it's gonna be a good day to hunt." :) Nice deer. Congrats!!!
-
I was wondering about that they looked pretty small to me! Guess I won't get anymore of those. Probably ought to just stick with the Snuffers.
-
Mr....err POP,
First of all, i'm lucky to live in a place that has alot of big bucks. Couple that with spending all spring and summer scouting and then spending alot of time in a tree waiting. I always figure it will happen if i just put in my time. Not much skill involved or i would have had one on the ground alot sooner! How have you been feeling? Hope your on the road to recovery! :thumbsup:
-
Chad... Another one bites the dust.
Sounds like the hunting is pretty good this year. I've had it pretty good as well, but can't buy a shot at a doe... and all the bucks I've seen (lots) have been dinks.
We'll see what happens this weekend as I'm headed off to hunt with Chris and Andrew Kinslow.
Congrats buddy!!! :thumbsup: :notworthy:
-
Congrats Chad!!!! (geeze that sounds so familiar) :D
-
Chad
Way to go dude!! Send me some of that mojo. I'm seeing plenty of bucks but nothing that has tempted me to drop the sting. I'm headed out one more time tomorrow morning.
-
Congrats!

Charlie, Good luck hunting with them Kinslow boys. Chris sure has had a good season. Tell him i said hi. I hope ya get one cause it has been too long since we had a "Lamb" story.
Steve, I'm sure you'll get one. I have been trying to get you up here the last couple years. Not that i seem to have any luck helping guys get bucks. Maybe ya just need to retire so you'll have more time to hunt. :D
Thanks everyone.

Now that was funny right there.
Steve, I didn't think you were that old! You'll be able to shoot the senoir division before long.

Nice buck, great shot, sweet-looking bow.
Congrats,

Hey Chad,
What kind of broadheads do you use? Awesome blood loss in the picture.
-
The pic of last years buck was with a 125gr screw in snuffer. The buck this season was shot with a simmons razor shark.
