Title: Keeping Up With The Cabrera's....Cade did it again! Video pg. 5!!!...another deer!
Post by: Guru on September 30, 2013, 07:16:00 AM: Tomorrow, October 1st, Cade's 2nd hunting season begins!

We're very excited about what we have ahead of us this season!

Since there was a lot of interest in Cade's thread last year....I figured that I'd try to keep a running thread that will keep everyone up to date on how the season is going.

Here's a video to start things off...

Post by: Guru on September 30, 2013, 08:42:00 AM: Thanx guys.....just a note about the video....

It's obviously not any kind professional quality, and it was filmed with a few different devices. Most of it was filed with my point and shoot camera, a couple of the poorest quality clips were done on my Iphone, and a couple few of the best quality clips were made with a new video camera I just got a few weeks ago.

So looking forward.....hopefully we'll be able to share some decent quality stuff this season :pray:

Also have some pix I want to share before the "games" begin....

I did have clips from the woods, but didn't have time to edit them in.

Work tonight...then out with Cade in the morning to hit a good ground blind that I've been grooming since last year. Same spot Cade got his first shot at a turkey and deer last fall. We were hunting out of a DB last year.

Post by: Guru on October 06, 2013, 01:50:00 PM: Thanx fellas!

I turkey hunted again yesterday after working all night. I got there just at daybreak and could hear the birds on the roost(same flock as the other days miss).

I got set up about 150 yds. away, as close as I dared because it was getting light already.

All set, I started calling to the birds in the trees.

Long story short, I got into a bit of a shouting match with a very vocal hen and thought I had her ticked off enough that she'd come....but after an hour and a half....I was still sitting there alone and very sleepy!

It was time to pack up and get Cade to his baseball game(he went 2 for 2, and had a nice game behind the plate).

This morning we were rained out.

This afternoon I'll be out by myself as my in-laws are leaving and Cade wants to spend some time with them before they leave.

Hopefully the rain holds off and I can get the season rolling if something shows up!!

Post by: Guru on October 14, 2013, 05:22:00 PM: Sunday, October 13th....

Yesterday we didn't get out in the woods.....Cade had a morning baseball game. And my nephew AC,who plays division 1 soccer for Canisious Collage, and I rarely get to see play....was playing within driving distance in Conn.. So, about 10 family members and friends headed east to watch him play....time well spent!

So that brings us to Sunday the 13th....

In the morning we headed to the same stand where I had the 3 bucks all over me last Tues, morning. But besides a deer that we ran into in the dark on the way in....we didn't see a thing. (I have some video)

Getting down...

Just 60yds. from the stand...

Breakfast time...

The Afternoon Hunt...

For the afternoon hunt we headed to a spot we'd be waiting to hunt since the season started....the stand that Cade killed his very first deer ever out of last fall....it's a great afternoon spot and very sacred ground to us!

It's a low ladder in a small double tree, only about 6ft high, and then I set a hang-on on the other tree. I sit on the ladder(it has no seat), and Cade steps off the ladder and hunts out of the hang-on.
It's set only 6ft high because that's what the cover dictates....it's a great set-up really.

In the very first video I posted on the thread you'll see a little clip of me trimming it out while Cade is in the stand.

We got there early and settled in...

Post by: Guru on October 15, 2013, 01:54:00 PM: Thanks so much everyone!

My time in the field with my boy is very, very special time for me.....I'm glad you enjoy what we share with you'all.....

What a shot huh?! This is only the second time we've hunted this set, once last year, and this time....both sits produced deer for Cade. Funny part is I sit lower than him and I never saw either arrow strike home!

But when this one hit, from all my years experience, I knew it was good.....and Cade's instantly blurting out "perfect shot Daddy" only served to reinforce what I heard.

But how absolute perfect he hit it we didn't know till we walked up on it.

If you were gonna walk up to a 3d target and show someone where to place an arrow and put your finger on the target.....it would be exactly where Cade hit this one!!

As far as the video......I really had no idea what I had captured. I kinda remember following the deer as it walked out of the woods......but I was also very aware of the fact that I needed to watch the deer in case it wasn't going to stop. I didn't want Cade to shoot at a walking deer...

I could go on and on about everything....how about some pictures.....

Post by: Guru on October 15, 2013, 02:07:00 PM: As far as Cade's equipment....

He's shooting my Jack Kempf Raven 3pc., at his 24"draw, it's about 45#.

His arrows are Trad Only .600's, cut to 26", and it was tipped with a 2 blade, 250 grain, VPA Penetrator broadhead.

As you could see in the video of Cade pulling his arrow out of the ground, it hardly slowed down when it passed through the deer.

Upon later examination, we found the arrow cut a rib almost in half on the way in, centered both lungs, also cut some of the plumbing off the heart.....and centered a rib on the way out cutting a perfectly vertical slice right through the center of it, leaving it in tact(had it hit horizontal, it would have cut it right in half)....good stuff!!

Post by: Terry Green on October 16, 2013, 10:25:00 AM: I watched the video last night....slept on what to say.....

I remember Ron LaClair saying to me when TradGang was about 6 months old.....

"We wondered who would be carrying the Torch for Traditional Bowhunting on the internet" I don't know who all 'we' were, but coming from Ron those words were enough.

So, I'll pass this along to Cade.....

Our ranks should be proud you little man....a young hunter with so much experience and success so early in life.....we all should be thankful for Cade... for he too will be one that carries a torch one way or another for us in the future.

Post by: Terry Green on October 16, 2013, 10:39:00 AM: Yes....I took it. We rode in together and watched his dad's jaw drop with the red one he'd killed with me that morning....then took Cade's dad with us to trail the 2nd one Cade had shot with his dad the night before.

Once we got both of those loaded, I told Cade he was driving....that he'd earned it. GREAT memories.

Post by: rolltidehunter on October 16, 2013, 11:10:00 AM: Curt tell cade i think its pretty darn cool that he wants to hunt with a recurve. Most kids his age dont want to hunt and if they do they want to shoot a crossbow or compound b/c its easy and they want to go to school and brag to thier buddys saying i shot more deer than you did this year.

he could hunt with me anyday! pretty darn cool. hes got my respect

Post by: Guru on October 17, 2013, 02:41:00 PM: Wed., Oct. 16th...

Although I got off of work in time to head straight out to the woods for a couple hours. I opted to go to sleep....

I'd been thinking about 2 spots I needed to scout. I turkey hunt both of these areas every spring and usually find some great deer sign....but for some reason seem to forget about them during deer season.

This year I remembered....so yesterday I decided it was time to check them out...and if they showed promise....set them up.

The first spot is an edge along an old orchard. The deer come from the working orchard and head toward this area. I always seem to see deer during the spring while turkey hunting in this area.

When I got there, it was evident by the trails, that it was worth getting a tree ready for a stand.

I drilled a double oak tree with my Woodpecker drill. Because of the cover of the tree, I was able to keep the set-up about 10-12ft up. Nice and low, with good cover....Now all I have to do is carry my Lone Wolf Assault in with me, drop my pegs in the holes, and hang my stand....looking forward to hunting this set...

Then I headed for an Oak flat that the deer use as they come out of an orchard, then head up the mountain.

Every spring has good sign on it. For years I've overlooked this area for deer hunting....not sure why....

I had some thoughts in my head about what I hoped I'd find.....and I wasn't disappointed!

So I drilled the tree...

Then went back to my truck, and grabbed a stand. Walked back in and hung it. While I was clearing shooting lanes I found this 15yds. from the stand...

This set-up has a great back door entry.....I'm really looking forward to getting back in to hunt this one and see what was making those magnum rubs!!

Wow, it doesn't seem very long ago when I saw your thread where you took Cade and his sister out into the woods and you all built a little campfire and a shelter, I think. Dang, how he has grown.

Seeing him on his iPhone reminds me of my two sons when I take them deer hunting. That's exactly what they do and I end up telling them when a deer is coming. Kinda funny. Heck, I've even been caught having my Android phone out messing with it when a deer was fast approaching!

Ah, memories to last a lifetime.....

http://youtu.be/VoCwtZb9koc

Now the unfortunate ending that you might have already read about...

As I was preparing to leave my stand, I took out my VPA Small Game Thumper and took my customary practice shot before I descended.

Shot taken, I was about packed up when I hear something running in the leaves...I thought "oh no!"

But it was 2 squirrels chasing....one stopped about 12yds away ans started feeding....I thought "what the heck, I'm getting down"

So I nocked an arrow with a VPA 1 1/4" 3 blade.....the squirrel stopped feeding as it became aware of me in the tree...but it didn't move.

I draw and shoot, and it goes into the squirrel matrix move....I knew I was close...and thought I may have nicked it because it jumped up on the stump next to it.....and it acted a bit weird.

It came off the stump as I reloaded, and shot again, but I knew I'd just missed this time.

As he disappeared over the hill I could see it was laboring a bit and I thought....hmmmmmm

This is what I found...

• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct18003.JPG)

I got closer and noticed something small laying under the arrow...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct18004.JPG)

A closer look revealed this...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct18005.JPG)

Cut clean off in a perfect v-cut where 2 of the 3 blades caught it's foot!

Crazy!!!

I did find some blood over the hill about 5 yds away, but no trace after that and the squirrel was long gone....
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct18006.JPG)

I'm sure it'll live to gather nuts another day....but like I said, I feel kinda bad about it.

Who knows, maybe I'll get another chance at it :pray:

I'm long overdue to wrap my hands around a big set of antlers....

The best part is, he just took it in stride and smiled....he "gets it"....I'm proud of him!

I thought she might come back. She was really throwing that nose up in the air checking the wind. Some cool footage for sure. Thanks for posting.

Post by: Guru on October 24, 2013, 01:35:00 PM: Guys, I have finally gotten some sleep...though not enough...and I do have some pix edited.

The video is going to have to wait a bit as I just have too much to catch up on right now, and my computer takes so, so long to get video edited....I need a new laptop!!!

I'll let the video tell the full story, enjoy the pix till then.....

I will say that curiosity killed this deer. Where the shot took place...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd001ncopyn.JPG)

I was shooting "Cy". I'd just got back from Jack, he made some new static limbs for it...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd002ncopyn.JPG)
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd003ncopyn.JPG)

Like I said, the video will explain in a lot more detail exactly what went down. I went back to my truck after the shot to get my phone...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd004ncopyn.JPG)

The shot was further back than I wanted, but quartering away. My thoughts were that I went in back, but the arrow would exit somewhere near the off shoulder.

The exact spot of the shot had cut hair and blood immediately, this is about 3yds. into the trail...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd005ncopyn.JPG)

Follow along...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd006ncopyn.JPG)
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd007ncopyn.JPG)

The arrow fell out about 60yds down the trail...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd008ncopyn.JPG)
Title: Re: Keeping Up With The Cabrera's....Cade did it again! Video pg. 5!!!...another deer!
Post by: Guru on October 24, 2013, 01:44:00 PM: • (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd009ncopyn.JPG)

Another 20yds. ahead...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd010ncopyn.JPG)

I had in fact hit a little further back than I wanted. That's why I love the quartering away shot!
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd011ncopyn.JPG)

A nice fat 2 1/2 yr old dry doe...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd012ncopyn.JPG)

A knife that Boyd gave me as an extra in the St. Jude auction...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd013ncopyn.JPG)

The 1 1/4" 3 blade VPA. The amount of blood these broadheads consistently put on the ground always impresses me!!
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct23rd014ncopyn.JPG)

Like I said, the video tells the full story as it's happening....

Post by: Guru on October 30, 2013, 09:09:00 PM: This past weekend was kinda slow as far as deer sightings....but the weather was perfect!

Saturday morning Cade had a late morning game, so I hunted for a couple hours by myself...it was cold!

New spot in a very familiar area...iffy wind that I think doomed my hunt....but I'll be back this weekend with predicted NW winds...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct26th001.JPG)

The afternoon I also hunted by myself in another new stand in an orchard that was tore up with buck sign.

A reminder of this summers locust infestation...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct26th002.JPG)

Some of the sign...

From the stand...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct26th006.JPG)
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct26th007.JPG)

I did have a close encounter with one big doe and triplet fawns, but no shooting. Also saw a coyote that got downwind....gone!
Title: Re: Keeping Up With The Cabrera's....Cade did it again! Video pg. 5!!!...another deer!
Post by: Guru on October 30, 2013, 09:18:00 PM: The next morning, with predicted wind out of the west we hit the new stand that I moved the other day after I shot my deer out of the Ant tree.

I'd moved the ladder down into the bottom where I'd been seeing most of the deer move through....it was now called "The Cooler Stand"....you'll see why...
It was also the maiden hunt for Cade's new Stalker recurve!

We got settled in with great anticipation of the rising sun....but once again the wind doomed us!

What started out as a perfect west crosswind, turned into a terrible SE wind right at daybreak!

We got out kinda early because of the wind...

The new Stalker in the woods...

Here you can see why we can this new stand "The Cooler Stand"...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct27th005.JPG)

Cool pic...
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/oct27th006.JPG)

We plan to hit it hard this weekend. No game for Cade Saturday. So hopefully we'll get 2 morning, and 2 afternoon hunts in....it's getting to be primetime for Cade to kill his first antlered buck!!!

Congratulations Cade, someday hopefully you will realize the treasure that is your father, until that time, those who know him will treasure him for you. Listen well, he has much to teach.

Post by: Guru on November 08, 2013, 03:10:00 PM: Thanx fellas....yes I need to update....working nights is killing me!!

I promise to try to get caught up this weekend.

The video is so frustrating on my computer....it takes forever and sometimes crashes and I lose everything I just worked hours doing!!

Last weekend with Cade was very slow as far as deer sightings....ill add some pix later...

This past Monday I had a good day in Westchester Co...but didn't kill anything.

Today, I killed another doe...pix and some video to follow(didn't get the shot, it all happened way too fast).

We'll be at it again this weekend!

Post by: AR RidgeRunner on November 13, 2013, 09:47:00 PM: Great pics Curt. Man those are some big trees that buck's picking on! I envy you getting to hunt with Cade and get it on video. Good times and great memories. My first grandson just turned two. I'll be building him a little LB soon. Can't wait to spend some time with him roaming the woods.

Post by: NittanyRider on November 14, 2013, 07:43:00 AM: Kurt - what brand face mask are you wearing?

Congrats on the harvests, too.

Post by: Guru on November 16, 2013, 09:16:00 PM: The face masks are from Cabela's....they have a real light weight, and a heavier polar stretch one. I have them both...the weather dictates which one I wear.

Post by: Guru on November 18, 2013, 07:50:00 AM: Cade was a bit disappointed he missed, but as usual he took it in stride.

The shot was right at the edge of where I'd let him shoot. I think that's why he asked if it was "too far".

But he's been shooting his new Stalker recurve so well I just 'knew' he could kill that buck. The shot was right around 20yds...

He said just thinks he got too excited and dropped his arm trying to 'peek'...

As far as the "injury" on the side of the bucks face....bino's showed that he had one of those big fiberous tumors on the side of his face that looked like it had been open somehow.

We're still at it....more vid's and pix to come...

Post by: Guru on December 05, 2013, 04:51:00 PM: Wow been a while since I updated!

Still working nights, losing sleep, and still trying to hunt some.

I've had some good hunts, I wont bore you with most of them...but I would like to share this one from a couple weeks ago with Cade.

Ever since the week before thanksgiving last year, when I first laid eyes on this buck, I knew I wanted to kill him....BAD!

That day I first saw him, I had him within solid bow range, and only the fact that he was slightly quartering to me, before he picked me out in the skinny tree I climbed kept him alive.

I would see him 2 more times last season, but never remotely close to to shot range.

I figured he was 3 1/2 yrs old by the look of his big body, and even though he was fairly mature, he was just a 6 point....2 big forks, and two brow tines...I wanted him bad!!!

Anyone that knows me, knows I like the "oddball" bucks that others will pass up. Heck I killed two bucks in TX that were considered "cull bucks" by their standards.....I was ticked to get them!!

Cade and I thought and talked about the "Big 6" often through this year leading up the season.

I set a trail cam right under one of our stands in late September and didn't get a chance to check it or hunt the stand for over a month.

The "Big 6" was still alive and I got several pix of him.

I got a chance to hunt 3 times(by myself) down in this area in the next 2 weeks but never saw him.

Cade the whole time was saying he was going to kill the "Big 6"....

Well Cade finally got the chance to hunt this spot in Westchester county me, and guess who showed up first thing!

Post by: Guru on December 06, 2013, 04:57:00 PM: Thanx guys....I sure hope we get to see him again and get him in tight for a shot!

He's a real stud and still a regular around the property....just got off the phone with the guy who looks over the property and lives there....he said he sees him quite often :pray:

I hunted this area this past Monday and for the first time this fall didn't see a deer!

Looks like my next shot at hunting down there will be Monday....

Post by: Guru on December 06, 2013, 05:02:00 PM: From another thread last week...

"Ten Years and Two Days"

Sometimes it's not about how big, sometimes there's a deeper reason to release an arrow....today was one of those days...
