Late Season Fun
« on: January 04, 2009, 11:03:00 PM »
Took some time to fill tags over the last few weeks. On Christmas Eve, I shot a doe and an 8-point in MI.

 

 


 On New Years day I shot a 6-point in IN. He was 3 1/2 years old. Kind of nice for a 6-point.

 

 Tonight was the last night of the season in IN and finished up with a good shot on a big doe. While dragging her out of the woods I was planning out stand locations for next year. I love hunting whitetails.

Yep, the freezer is now full again mate. I bet you had you boots on for that hunt with all that snow about!

Well done mate, well done.

Congrats! Just finished up the Wisconsin season tonight with no sightings. Spending a week at the cabin near Necedah with the family and will be on snowshoes tomorrow looking for next years perfect stand. Looks like you may have found yours.

Mike, It is a 66", 70# @ 28", all Osage lam PLX td with a piece of cocobolo in the riser. The osage they used was dark and grainy when I received it. It is a good shooter. I got it in September right before we filmed my segment for MBB3. Shot 10 whitetails with it this year. I think I'll keep shooting it for awhile   :)

Congrats on the deer. Nice bucks, and those does look enormous. How much did they weigh??

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

Mark, I didn't weigh any of the deer. Both does were the ones with big long heads though. The ones that blow at you when you are trying to get a buck.

The 8-point was chasing a doe when I shot him and I saw a lot of rutting activity in IN also. Thr night I shot the 6-point I had 40+ deer go by my treestand - most in shooting range. Had a 140 class 8-point walk right by. He was one of the guys I'd been after all season. Too bad he had already shed one side. It made me sick  :)  

He'll be bigger next year I hope. Also saw a small 8-pointer that had shed one side and another buck that had lost both sides. Some of my buddies have commented on seeing a few shed bucks already also and when I checked in the deer the ranger said some guy had checked in a shed buck that morning.

Denny,

 Funny thing, I had just watched one of your old videos just before I saw this thread. It was Shooting Instinctively, Better Than Ever II. What ever happened to Dan Bertlan?

 Good for you on your deer harvests!
 By the way, I bought one of those quivers from Safari Tuff. Super product!
